The source review credits this technology with raising BetDigital’s profile in the industry within a relatively short period and drawing other developers into partnerships. It names NextGen Gaming, International Game Technology (IGT), Net Entertainment and Evolution Gaming among the company’s partners.
Partnership work was central to BetDigital’s business, according to the review. The company said it had simplified the route from development to market: while games commonly took an average of 16 months, BetDigital could sometimes help bring them to market in as little as 12 weeks.
Benchmark Achievements
In 2014, BetDigital received an operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission, along with a remote gambling software operating licence. It also earned a core service provider associates certificate from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission that year. A partnership with Net Entertainment gave BetDigital access to the Swedish market for the first time.
BetDigital was acquired by NYX Gaming Group later in 2016. Scientific Games purchased NYX Gaming Group in 2017, after which it adopted the SG Digital name. In 2017, NYX Gaming Group (aka SG Digital or BetDigital) earned the Digital Industry Supplier of the Year award at the Global Gaming Awards. The company carried on doing business as BetDigital following its acquisition by NYX Gaming Group.

- Shamrock Surprise
- Royal Gems
- Fantastic Fruits

Conclusion
The source review offers limited detail about BetDigital’s game-development work, presenting partnerships and access to its technology as a key part of the company’s role. It describes the graphics in the games covered as sharp and crisp, with visual appeal for players. The review also noted that BetDigital slots could be found at a number of online casinos. Its account of seamless integration may give readers a reason to research sites that carry the games, while remembering that this does not establish authorization in Canada.
