Founded in 2002, 1X2gaming is a UK based software developer, famous for their Virtual Football editions that took the gambling world by storm when initially launched. At the moment, the company is expanding their mobile games portfolio, which currently features a total of 40 releases, in addition to the titles that fall under the Virtual Sports, Table Games, and Slots categories.
In July 2018, 1X2gaming and their parent company 1X2 Network have cemented their position in the Asian market, after partnering with Solid Gaming and making their entire slot, virtual and table gaming opus available to Asian operators. Only a few weeks later, it became pretty obvious that 1x2 Gaming was only warming up - their market expansion continued with the distribution agreement formed with Groove Gaming, freshly licenced by the same regulatory body that registers 1x2 Gaming – the UK Gambling Commission.
Another partnership was formed with IGamingPlatform in August 2018, clearly indicating that the developer is not even considering slowing down the pace, nor is that to be expected any time soon, now that their products are about to reach IGamingPlatform clients on no less than 5 continents. Precisely what one would anticipate from a business that refers to itself as an innovative and proud alternative to the mainstream market…
As already mentioned above, 1X2gaming is an expert in the field of Virtual Sports, video slots, and casino games design, launching an array of fantasy sport variants, including Virtual Rugby, Virtual African Cup, Virtual Soccer, etc. There are four more gaming segments in their gaming portfolio – Slots, Casino, Arcade, Numbers, and Instant Win. The spectrum of themes is wide, from seasonal to traditional. The return to the player percentage is between 95% and 98% and the minimum bet usually starts at $0.01, although there are releases with higher limits.
Football 3x3
Football 3x3 slot introduces a structure that you do not get to see very often – the game is played on a 3x3 grid which is the same as simultaneously playing nine classic slots with 3 reels and a single payline. The payout is generated when three matching icons are formed on a reel and a total payout can reach £10,000. Players can wager up to £45 per spin (starting with the minimum of £0.10) and the extended gameplay is estimated to produce 95.5%. Football fans are definitely the target audience for this release as the main symbols are represented by different national teams’ football kits.
The Justice Machine
Inspired by the series of comic books popular throughout the 80s, The Justice Machine slot brings back the old team of superheroes, ready to save the world for a price of at £0.30 to £60 per spin. Each of the heroes carries a unique special power that will destroy the enemy symbols and award a cash prize when activated. For example, Blazer will throw the fireballs to burn the unwanted icons, Chain will use her lightning bolts, Titan will turn into an expanding Wild, etc. When Save the Earth feature is activated, the heroes will award bet multipliers and the players will get to decide in which order the heroes will attack. In the long run, the return to the player percentage is 96% and the total payout can amount to £67,500.
Classic Fruit
No catalog is complete without a traditional fruit-theme slot and 1x2gaming has a few of those, but Classic Fruit is their most popular release within the category, thanks to the retro layout, basic 3-reel structure, high RTP percentage of 97.37% and betting limits adjusted to wider demographics. The minimum stake is £0.01, with the option to increase the wager up to £25. If you are a fan of bonus features and Free Spins, you may want to skip this one as it offers no more than the simplest “spin & win” type of gameplay.
Piggy Bank
Piggy Bank is the only release from the list designed specifically for desktops and the player will need to make sure that the flash plugin is enabled before launching the game. The game is played on 5 reels and 9 adjustable lines, with up to five coins per line. The value of coins is adjusted manually ($0.01 to $0.50), making the maximum bet $22.50. Piglets are the featuring symbols of this slot, each piggy acting as a representative of a certain group or profession. When a combination of 3-5 Rainbow Scatters land on the reels, Free Spins will be triggered, doubling all the wins generated during the feature. The RTP is calculated at 95.69% and the max payout is £22,500.
Aztec Secrets
One of the most exotic 1x2 Gaming releases so far, Aztec Secrets is a 5-reel and 25-payline slot with £0.01-£62.5 betting range and £22,500 total payout. The extended gameplay is expected to produce 95.5% and the volatility falls somewhere in between medium and high. Up to 10 Free Spins will be triggered for a combination of 3 Aztec Mask icons and all the payouts during the extra rounds will be multiplied by 2. The players will really start having fun when the bonus feature is activated, paving their way to the Statue by picking tiles on five different rows and winning cash prizes.
