What Apollo Games does

Apollo Games (legal entity APOLLO SOFT s.r.o.) is a privately held Czech Republic-based B2B supplier of slot gaming content and hardware, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Prague with a registered office in Malta. The company operates a dual-channel model serving both online casino operators and land-based casino operators with complementary product lines: an HTML5 slot game portfolio of 50+ titles distributed via a single API integration, and a proprietary range of six VLT and slot cabinets (Stellar, Orcane, Hurricane, Thunder, Neos, Classic) sold directly to slot halls and casinos. The Apollo Jackpot system, a configurable three-level mystery jackpot (Golden, Silver, Bronze), is unified across online and land-based deployments.

The product stack is built on HTML5 game content, GLI-certified mathematics, and proprietary hardware designs, with all content localized across 31 languages and certified in more than 20 regulated jurisdictions across Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, Poland, Serbia, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria), Africa (Kenya, Uganda), and South America (Colombia). Supplementary offerings include branded content development (exemplified by the Karlos Game with Czech MMA icon Karel Vémola), an Apollo PLINKO mini-game, and an operator back-office platform hosted at platform.apollogames.com. Regulatory credentials include MGA B2B Games Provider license MGA/CRP/523/2018 and ISO/IEC 27001 information security certification (2022).

Revenue is generated through B2B game content licensing (royalties and integration fees from online operators) and VLT cabinet hardware sales to land-based venues. Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales force with major iGaming trade show presence (ICE Barcelona, SiGMA, BEGE, SBC, Sigma Americas) and named customer relationships spanning Tier-1 groups (Betsson via StarCasinò Italy, Olympic Entertainment via Olybet across the Baltics and Croatia, Novomatic-affiliated Paradise Casino Admiral) and regional operators (Bonver, Slovmatic, Niké, Joker.lv, Stoiximan, Meridianbet). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per-operator.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Amusnet (formerly EGT Digital): Online slot, live casino, and casino content provider spun out of EGT. Competes directly with Apollo in the online slot aggregation and supply space for European regulated operators.
• Kajot Games: Czech-based slot game and VLT manufacturer with online and land-based products across Central European markets. Direct competitor in the same niche, with overlapping land-based and online slot offerings and similar customer profile (CEE slot hall operators).
• Synot Games: Czech-based slot game developer and online casino content provider serving European regulated markets. Closest geographic and product analog to Apollo's online slot business, with similar mid-tier scale and multi-jurisdiction focus.
• CT Gaming: Bulgarian slot machine and casino content manufacturer with online and land-based offerings. Listed as both a strategic partner and adjacent competitor to Apollo, with similar scope across VLT cabinets and online slot games.
• EGT (Euro Games Technology): Bulgarian manufacturer of slot machines, VLTs, and online casino games. Competitor in both the land-based cabinet business and the online slot publishing space, with strong presence in Eastern European and Balkan markets where Apollo also operates.

Broad incumbents

• Novomatic: Austrian gaming conglomerate manufacturing slot machines, VLTs, and operating casinos. Apollo's Admiral customer is part of Novomatic; competes broadly in the same cabinet and slot content categories at much greater scale.
• Pragmatic Play: Global Tier 1 slot, live casino, and bingo content provider with thousands of games and a much larger sales footprint. Represents the larger incumbent that Apollo's customers use as their primary supplier, with which Apollo co-exists in operator lobbies.
• Play'n GO: Swedish online slot and casino content provider with hundreds of certified games across regulated European markets. Competes for the same operator customers and certified-jurisdiction footprint as Apollo, but at significantly larger scale.
• Merkur Gaming: German-based slot machine manufacturer and online content provider (under Merkur Play brand). Competes with Apollo in both land-based VLT/cabinet hardware and online slot publishing, especially across Central and Southern European markets.

Emerging players

• Playson: Mid-tier online slot game studio with a smaller portfolio than the global incumbents but similar focus on European regulated markets and multi-jurisdiction certifications. Closely comparable in scale and go-to-market approach to Apollo's online business.
