Inteplay is an online casino software provider that is based out of Macau and focuses primarily on Asian markets. The company not only creates slots and other casino games in both Flash and HTML5, but also provides sportsbook, bingo, lottery and live dealer services to their customers.
In its first few years of operation, Inteplay has established itself as a flexible provider that can offer everything from games to the software that powers online gambling sites. They can quickly provide white-label solutions for any operator, or design complete, customized packages for those customers who have specialized needs and know exactly what they are looking for.
Inteplay was founded in 2014, when Kevin Li left his job as the CEO of Yoyougaming, a Chinese online software provider. The company is today headquartered in Macau, but already works out of several worldwide locations in gambling hotspots such as Las Vegas, London, Hong Kong, Manila, and Singapore.
The primary product developed by this firm is their online casino solution, which implements not only the hundreds of games that their studio has developed in house, but also third party options from developers including Playtech, Microgaming, and HoGaming. The solution includes everything that an operator might need to get up and running, including banking, management systems, and compliance with regulations in any worldwide jurisdiction.
But their products go well beyond standard casino services. Along with mobile play, which has become a necessity in the modern gaming industry, Inteplay can also set up LAN (Local Area Network) casinos that are perfect for markets where Internet bandwidth is at a premium or unavailable to some users.
The company also offers a variety of services for their clients that go beyond providing software and hardware. They can develop customized solutions and help with third party integration of software. The group also provides customer support, marketing, and consultancy services for operators based on their needs.

Inteplay offers a wide variety of games, but like most companies out there, their focus is definitely on slot machines. At the time of this writing, there are more than 70 different slots in their collection, covering a wide variety of themes and concepts. While you’ll see settings based on ideas from around the world, the games use a lot of Chinese characters in their titles and presentation, once again showing off the fact that Asia is the primary focus for this studio.
That said, many of these games have a universal appeal, and the symbols tend to be drawn broadly enough to appeal to even non-Chinese speakers: words like wild, scatter, and bonus are written in English as part of this effort. Some of the more recent titles added to this collection include the Egyptian-themed Pharaoh’s Treasure, a five reel, 25 payline machine with bonus and gamble features, as well as A Chinese Ghost Story, which presents a tale of classic Chinese ghosts and legends in a 15-line format.
Inteplay features a fair number of table games, ranging from universal favorites like roulette (both American and European), baccarat, blackjack and Caribbean Poker to games that are traditionally played in Asian markets, such as Pai Gow, Sic Bo, and Fish Prawn Crab. As with the slots, these games are presented with attractive, detailed graphics, and even in the versions we played that used Chinese characters, we were able to easily play without any confusion over the rules or gameplay flow.
Inteplay may be a relatively new player in the online gambling software game, but they’ve already put together an impressive array of products and services for their clients. In the English-speaking world, this is still a name that doesn’t have much recognition in the gaming community. However, they have certainly made their mark in Asia, even becoming a regular presence at major trade shows like G2E Asia.
While that may make them a regional power for now, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more of these games on the international scene in years to come. With a deep library of content and experience in tailoring their offerings to the needs of their clients, this is a firm that has the ability to become a major supplier for online gambling sites around the world.
