Provider
Amatic
Amatic is a family-owned Austrian gaming technology company founded in 1993 in Rutzenmoos, Upper Austria, where it remains headquartered today. Few studios in the industry can claim a foundation as unusual as Amatic's: it began life as Amatic Trading GmbH, a 23-employee hardware manufacturer building slot cabinets, automated multiplayer electronic roulette systems and server-based Video Lottery Terminals for land-based casinos. That engineering heritage still shapes the brand three decades on, even as it has expanded into online video slots through its dedicated digital arm. Founder Reinhold Bauer's original vision — physical casino hardware built to last — evolved into a full-spectrum supplier spanning arcades, casino floors and mobile screens alike, making Amatic one of the few providers with genuine roots in both the land-based and digital gambling economies.
History and licensing background
Amatic Industries was established in 1993 in Rutzenmoos, Austria, growing from a small hardware workshop into an international gaming technology supplier. The company operates under licences from the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, giving it a regulated footprint across major European markets alongside its long-standing presence in North and South America. Its family-owned structure has kept product development in-house, from cabinet engineering to game mathematics, a rarity among providers of comparable scale.
Flagship and popular slot titles
Amatic's Book series is its most recognisable content line, led by Book of Aztec, Book of Pharao and Book of Fortune — classic expanding-symbol slots built around Egyptian and Mesoamerican mythology in the mould that defined a generation of European gaming halls. Wolf Moon brings a wilderness theme with wild-driven mechanics, while Dragon Pot and Aztec Emerald lean into jackpot-style pot features. Wild Respin, Eye of Ra, Roman Legion and Hot Fruits 40 round out a catalogue that mixes mythological adventure themes with the fruit-machine heritage typical of Amatic's land-based origins.
A portfolio spanning land-based and online
Amatic's product range covers slots, electronic roulette, video lottery terminals, casino cabinets and hardware, casino management systems, and bingo machines — a breadth few competitors match. This dual identity, hardware manufacturer and content studio, means its online slots often echo the pay-table structures and symbol logic of its physical VLTs, giving retail-familiar players an easy bridge into digital play, and vice versa.
AMANET: the online division
To separate its digital ambitions from its hardware business, Amatic created AMANET, a dedicated online division focused on developing video slots and content specifically for internet gambling operators. This split allowed the company's land-based engineering teams to keep serving arcades and casino floors while AMANET built out a distinct online-first content pipeline, reflecting how differently the two channels demand game design, session length and volatility.
Technology and mobile distribution
Amatic launched AMATIC NOW!, a mobile gaming app and platform, at ICE Totally Gaming 2014, enabling players to carry the studio's titles across multiple devices at a time when many hardware-rooted suppliers were still desktop-bound. The company also runs a proprietary Casino Management System (CMS) that powers arcades and casino installations worldwide, underlining its position as an infrastructure provider as much as a content creator.
Industry recognition and trade presence
Amatic's engineering has been formally recognised on multiple occasions: the Performer Grand Arc cabinet won the ICE Gold Dice Award for Best Performing Slot Machine in 2016 and the Irish Gaming Show Award for Most Stylish Gaming Machine the same year, while the company itself was named Best International Manufacturer of the Year at the Casino Life & Business Magazine Gala 2018 in Romania. Amatic maintains a regular presence at major trade shows including ICE London, G2E and BEGE, keeping its hardware and software lines visible to operators across three continents.
Global market footprint
With regulated activity spanning Europe, North America and South America, plus licences from the Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission, Amatic occupies a genuinely international footprint rather than concentrating on a single region. Its portfolio of hundreds of titles, ranging from land-based slot machines to online roulette and lottery-style games, reflects a supplier built to serve both regulated online operators and physical gaming venues simultaneously.
