Extreme Gaming
Extreme Gaming
Extreme Gaming emerged just a few years ago but has quickly made a name for itself as one of the best live dealer providers online. You will find standard live roulette, blackjack, and roulette tables, as well as incredibly unique live variants.
We take a look at the company and how it has fast tracked its way to being one of the biggest live dealer names, alongside other top providers such as Evolution Gaming.
Extreme Gaming background
Extreme Gaming was formed in early 2013 in the UK with the vision of challenging the live dealer competition. A year later the Novomatic Group acquired the live croupier company which catapulted Extreme Gaming into the spotlight.
Then a partnership with NYX Gaming Group was announced to be in the works at the end of 2014, and cemented in early 2015 seeing the live games rolled out on the NYX Open Gaming System platform. This saw the real time games distributed to many top online casinos.
Extreme Gaming’s mission is to overall create and distribute products which offer a unique experience for live dealer players. They aim to mimic land-based casino experiences, while still providing the comfort online gaming offers. This has been made possible by the Extreme Training Academy in London which intensively trains its croupiers. This ensures all games are hosted by the best.
