Realistic Games History and Structure

In 2002 Andy Cattrell set up Realistic Games. In 2007 Jason Hopkins joined the company and worked as a developer of ReGaL and in 2011 he took up the post of IT Director. In 2012 Andy Harris held the position of Marketing Director.

In the period from 2005 to 2009 Realistic Games together with third party operators, released half a dozen games. The company's client base at that time comprised of:

• Bet365
• Ladbrokes
• Bet Victor
• Bet Fred
• Stan James
• SportingBet

During this period a fixed betting terminal (FOBT) for Ladbrokes and Sazka was developed.

Since 2008 the company has developed its own slots. This is caused by intellectual property laws, cost of slot development, technical and distribution limitations. Since that time the development of the Realistic Games Library (ReGaL) platform began and it was released in April 2011.

Realistic Games regularly release new games and are constantly increasing their number of partners, which enables all new games to become available all over the world in a short space of time.

In 2014 the company received awards in the categories Innovation in Mobile award and Innovation in Slot Provision at the eGaming Review (EGR) B2B Awards.
