ESA Gaming — provider review
The mythological ROTD series, bison with a 5,000x jackpot and games that a bookmaker can embed right into its betting page: that is the catalogue of ESA Gaming. The Maltese studio has been operating since 2009 and describes itself as an independent “boutique” provider of mobile games.
Besides its own games, the company runs the GAS aggregator, through which casinos integrate games from more than 70 providers, and the poker software ESA Poker.
