So named, presumably, because they’re the last word in gaming technology, Omega Gaming are dedicated to the iGaming sector in all its forms. Casino games; slots; poker: you name it, they code it.
The executives and software engineers who comprise Omega Gaming’s core team have been at the helm since 1995. That’s when the company was founded on a mandate to deliver innovative gaming products and related technologies.
The process is simple, but the detail is anything but. Clients approach Omega Gaming with a concept or a problem to be solved. It’s then up to OG’s software engineers to devise a solution and to deliver it on time and on budget. This may be a bespoke branded game or a complete turnkey package.
Among Omega Gaming’s many skills is the ability to integrate content from multiple providers, presenting it to the client in one seamless package. The software solutions the company provides are completely scalable, allowing for growth and expansion into new territories. Omega Gaming operate out of the Maltese town of Gzira and welcome telephone or email contact from prospective clients.

Omega CORE is the name given to OG’s reporting and administration software. While gamers game and operators operate, CORE quietly runs in the background, gathering the raw data and packing it into useful analytics. It’s an essential task that’s integral to the function of any modern gaming platform. As the backbone of OG’s operations, a lot is asked of Omega CORE but the software has proven its worth for countless clients over the years. Its core management system allows operators to determine at a glance how their site or platform is performing and to identify areas for improvement.
Built from the ground up, Omega CORE is designed to be highly secure and to be capable of integrating both Omega games and third party systems. The fully web-based interface is designed to be as secure as possible, keeping attackers out and customer data inside, safely locked away. A full failover and disaster recovery process is also included.
The games can be integrated into existing casino platforms, so you can enjoy them alongside EGT slots, or BF Games slots, to name a couple of popular examples.
The lottery games that Omega Gaming produce are in fact scratch cards. To date, the Maltese company have released three scratch games, each of which is available in a match 3 and match 5 symbols configuration. Bootleg Empire is a Prohibition-era game that features mob members running amok. Fortunes of Arabia is a Prince of Persia-style game and Eye of the Pharaoh is the obligatory Egyptian game.
Bootleg Empire Match 3 features free cards, a bonus scratch area and the option to make multiple-card purchases. Match 3 symbols and you can win up to 50 times your bet.
It would be fair to say that slots are Omega Gaming’s strongest suit. They’ve pushed out a lot of 5-reel slots in their time, including a handful that have the same theme as their scratch card games. If you love Fortunes of Arabia, Bootleg Empire and Eye of the Pharaoh as video slots, perhaps you’ll be equally taken with their scratch card counterparts.
Other major titles from the Maltese developer include the 9-line Frankenstein, 15-line Sizzling Fruits and the oddly named bonus slot Beautiful Belgium. In the same series, the developer also offers Beautiful Netherlands, replete with windmills and other Dutch staples.
Graphically, Omega Games’ slots occupy the middle ground that separates the 3D and detailed slots from the kitsch and half-baked ones. In other words, they’re not the best developer you’ll ever encounter but neither are they the worst. The features, at least, are varied enough to keep things fresh. Buccaneer’s Booty is a slot machine themed around pirates that unfolds across 5 reels and 15 lines, complete with scatter symbol bonuses, spinning barrels and a bonus jackpot.
There’s not much to differentiate Omega Games’ table games from those of their competitors. That’s not a bad thing though: it simply means that theirs are as functional as the rest. Blackjack, Baccarat and Craps are all covered, with clean graphics coupled with animations and sound effects that mimic those of the real life games they’re meant to emulate.
There’s roulette too, of course, available in European and American iterations, and a whole lotta poker. Take your pick from Caribbean Poker and Pai Gow as well as less common casino games like Combat Cards. There’s also Progressive Blackjack and its English 21-card counterpart, Pontoon.
There’s more to gaming than pushing out lurid slots and video poker conversions. Most iGaming developers, after proving their worth with casino games, widen their skill set and wind up taking a more holistic approach to gambling. In other words, they become the quintessential jack of all trades, operating in an advisory capacity, covering all elements of the industry.
Omega Gaming have built up a wealth of experience in the two decades they’ve been in business, and it’s a nous they put to good use in advising their clients on gambling-related issues. This includes the logistics of expanding into new markets and obtaining the requisite gaming license for clients, who include some of the fastest paying casinos online.
Omega Data Bridge refers to the company’s gaming solutions that enable operators to integrate products of their choosing. It could involve fusing a casino with a sportsbook, adding a poker room or adding games from third party developers.
Omega Data Bridge utilises a set of APIs which link with the player databases, maintaining player confidentiality while facilitating the addition of games and other platforms to an existing setup with minimal disruption and downtime.
Like any company who operates in the gambling sector, Omega Gaming are committed to promoting responsible gaming. (Ever notice how companies who develop gambling software can never bring themselves to use the word ‘gambling’?
It’s always amended to the more innocuous ‘gaming’, as it they can’t quite admit that people gamble their own money on these games). There are a number of measures built into OG’s games that are designed to prevent reckless behaviour, the sort that’s synonymous with an impending gambling problem.
Player authorisation and verification is naturally a part of Omega Games software, but they’ve also built in session limits and deposit limits, which can be player controlled if desired. Temporary self-exclusion is another feature, one that enables players to take a time out if they deem their gaming to be in danger of becoming problematic.
Their software also incorporates tools designed to prevent duplicate account restrictions and other measures designed to counteract possible addictive behaviour.
While there is no shortage of Maltese software developers doing what Omega Gaming do, the experienced firm have built up a fair head of steam in the last 20 years. In recent years in particular, they’ve signed a number of major deals in the Belgian gambling market, though in truth they’ve left their imprint on web-based casinos registered across Europe as well as further afield.
Omega’s casino games are reliable, scalable and most importantly fun to play, with high definition graphics and all the other ingredients that make for a rewarding and immersive experience. Their scratch cards and slots feature some diverse and intriguing themes, and are the company’s most popular games to date.
Back-end software with detailed reporting features, meanwhile, has helped to ensure that Omega are more than just a games developer. From consulting to creating bespoke content and integrating APIs, there are few sections of the gambling industry that Omega Gaming haven’t touched.
