I'm planning to include some reviews of various gambling machines here soon, so I thought I'd start with a look at some of the slot machine manufacturers and their products. There was a time, not long ago, when such a list would be short. But with the advent of internet casinos, the list of slot machine companies grows longer every day.

The Big Bang Theory is a Generation 7 game from Aristocrat Gaming, running on the company's exclusive Helix Slant cabinet, a programmable slot machine game that can run any Generation 7 slot from Aristocrat's inventory. The Big Bang Theory slot game can be found and played for real money at FairGo and Lincoln casino sites.
Of course, depending on where you live, you might be searching for such information using a phrase like 'fruit machine suppliers' or 'gaming companies.' Such a list should (and does) include old slot machine brands like IGT (International Game Technologies) and internet casino software vendors like Microgaming and Playtech.
As I create more posts about related subjects, I'll update this page with links to manufacturer-specific lists of games and reviews of their overall offerings.
I know that a lot of sites in this space try to offer as complete a resource as possible, but please remember that I'm just one guy with a blog. I don't have an army of freelance writers working for me, and even if I did, there are so many slot machine games from so many different providers that it would be almost impossible to keep up with them all.
But if I've left out your favorite slot machine manufacturer, let me know in the comments, and I'll add it to the list.
Slot Machine Manufacturers List – Updated 2020
And here's the list of slot machine manufacturers:
1. Ainsworth Game Technology
Ainsworth Game Technology is one of the oldest companies on my list of slot machine manufacturers. They've been in business for 20+ years. Ainsworth is an Australian company, and if you know anything about gambling in Australia, you know how popular slots are there. They call them 'pokies,' though, which is an abbreviation for 'poker machines.'
And some of Ainsworth's most recent game additions include:
- Action Dragons
- Big Hit Bonanza
- Pac-Man Wild Edition
2. Amatic Industries
Amatic Industries has been in business for over a quarter of a century now. Besides slot machines, they make video lottery terminals and video roulette games. They have a huge selection of slot machine brands in their stable, too, including some of the following:
- Games Bond (Yes, this is a 'James Bond' knockoff.)
- GrandX (A 'Wheel of Fortune' lookalike.)
- Vampires (A simple enough theme and title, no?)
3. Amaya Gaming
Amaya Gaming is defunct now. It's part of The Stars Group, the company which owns PokerStars. I include it here under its original name because I think some online users still look for games from Amaya Gaming. They offer lots of cute games, including:
- Barn Yard Boogie
- Jenga
- Street Fighter II
4. Aristocrat Gaming Technology
Aristocrat Gaming Technology is another Australian 'poker machine' vendor. They'e recently gotten their hands on some major intellectual property, too, and they offer games like:

Fremantle Media is one of the more unusual listings on this page, because they don't exactly design or manufacture slot machine games. They own several large television brands, which they aggressively promote through multiple channels–including slot machines. If you're playing one of these slots, Fremantle Media had a lot to do with it:
- American Idol

23. NextGen Gaming
NextGen Gaming serves both online and land-based casinos. They offer some really cool titles, including:
- King Kong Fury

24. Novomatic Gaming
The name 'Novomatic' always reminds me of the Steve Goodman song, Vegematic.

- From Dusk Til Dawn
- Stories of Infinity
- Treasure of Tut

27. Realtime Gaming
Realtime Gaming (RTG) is probably the biggest online casino game vendor that still serves U.S. audiences — at least the audiences that don't live in states with legal, regulated online casinos. (There are 47 states like that.) As a result, you've probably never heard of most of their games unless you're a devoted internet gambler.
My favorite of their games is It's Good to Be Bad, but I'm old school.
28. SG Gaming (Scientific Games)
Scientific Games is headquartered in Las Vegas. They own Bally now, and they own Shuffle Master. And they also own WMS Gaming. Their most well-known game is probably Monopoly slot machines.

Apollo Games has a full profile on our site. Click the link for full details.
The Final Word about Slot Machine Manufacturers
The brand names in the slot machine manufacturers category are many, but, of course, IGT (International Game Technology) towers above the rest like Walmart towers over other retail establishments. The list above gets longer when you account for the companies making online slot machine games, too.
If you have any comments about the games available from these corporations, I'd enjoy hearing them. I'm human and make mistakes, so if you leave a comment pointing one out, I'll update this post with corrections (and probably even give you credit.)
Overview of The Big Bang Theory Slot
If you have heard of the American hit ‘The Big Bang Theory', then here is the slot version to the series. Five Pasadena residents in the state of California start in this epic slot jam packed with feature bonuses. Aristocrat slots is the developer, a slot gaming developer well-known for creating real money games based on TV shows. This is a great slot with a £10,000 jackpot.
Reels and Lines
There are 4 games to play on this slot. That means there are 4 sets of reels with each set having 5 reels. Each game's reels have 3 spaces for the symbols meaning there are 15 spots for symbols to land in each game. Each set of reels has 25 pay-lines on it.
Min/Max Bets
You can bet 50 to 200 pay lines a min of 50 credits per spin; while if you fancy pumping this up, you can all the way to 600 credits. That makes the maximum bet just $6.00. This is basically 4 slots in 1 game, hence the betting is done on credits rather than coins and lines.
Graphics, Sound effects and Looks
During the game, The Big Bang Theory setting is obvious. All 5 characters are represented popping up in animations as well as video clips as the game plays on. Their voices are in character, and the Pasadena California setting is depicted straight from the show.
Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstader, and Howard Wolowitz each have their own set of reels. Penny (She never tells anyone her second name) is a feature mixing herself in on all the reels. Other symbols you will see are common apparatus you see in the film; Chinese takeout food, gaming controllers, flags, DvDs, and Soft Kittens.
As the slot is split into 4 sections this is a lot of fun because you have a chance to win on all 4 sets of reels – the wins from all the reels are added together and paid out simultaneously. Every set of reels basically gives you its own individual win.
Free Spins
You can win free spins via the ‘The Large Hofstader Collision' feature on Leonard's set of reels. When you land this, you get to choose whether you want more free spins and low multipliers, or whether you would prefer higher multipliers but less free spins.
Wilds
Wild symbols on this game are present on all 4 games on the reels. They are substitute symbols that can act as if they are part of any symbol combination in the game. That means if it is on the end of 3 symbol combination, the combination becomes a 4-symbol win. If it fills in a gap between symbols that are same, then the wild symbol will complete that combination.
Multipliers/Scatters
Scatter come in random and purpose-built forms on this slot. 3 of the Bazinga scatter symbols will kick start the Bazinga bonus round.
If Sheldon happens to randomly to knock 3 times on her apartment door, then a multiplier will be randomly awarded = this will be a x10 multiplier on all the wins on all 4 sets of slots from that spin. It is great when this multiplier just randomly lands out of nowhere!
Bonus Rounds
(Raj) Koothrappali's Scavenger Vortex is a bonus round on the Raj Koothrappali set of reels. Here you pick a piece of the puzzle. This is basically sets of dirty laundry! If you pick the right piece you will all the prizes, but sometimes you will pick a puzzle piece and get paid a set amount.
The Cooper Roommate Agreement bonus features is really awesome. Basically, the reels change from 25 pay-lines to a 432-ways to win slot. Spin the reels and watch the wins pile up until the bonus round ends.
Howard's Mystic Warlords of Ka'a. To begin with you are presented with hero cards. You need to pick one to determine your multipliers in the next round. Next you will have 8 cards placed in front of you. As you pick each card, the hero you chose previously will apply a multiplier.
The Electron Progressive is where the big money is and can be triggered at any point. You are sent to the bonus wheel and awarded prizes. If you are lucky you may win the progressive jackpot prize in this round.
Progressive Jackpot
You need to land 3 of the Bazinga scatter symbols anywhere on the reels for a chance at the mini progressive jackpot. It must be 3+ scatters within one of the 4 slot games. Not scatters across all 4 slot games. The wheel at the top of the game will kick into action and you will have the chance to win the progressive!
Big Bang Theory Slot Machine Online Slot
Mobile Play
This slot is not available as a mobile slot and is just purely a video slot found in casinos that have a deal with the supplier Aristocrat Gaming.
Software Provider
It is the magic of the Aristocrat slots developer that pulls this slot into the limelight of the slots gaming world. Aristocrat not only produces online slots, but also video slots for brick and mortar casinos such as this slot – The Big Bang Theory.
Return to Player
For now, Aristocrat have not actually published what the RTP is for this slot. Rumour has it that is lays between the 93% and 96% mark. Texas holdem pot odds chart.
Why Play The Big Bang Theory Slot?
If you are a fan of Aristocrat slots from the online casino scene, then you will be ecstatic if you walk into a casino and see this slot. Even more so if you are a fan of the hit TV series.
Big Bang Theory Slot Machine
It is also a penny slot, so you can spin for as low as £0.01 per credit on as little as 50 lines, giving you a low spin bet of £0.50 per bet. However, there is also a chance to win the progressive jackpot for cheap spins by betting all 100 lines which is just £1.00 per spin.
Play Big Bang Theory Slot Machine Online
Plus, this is something different to the norm. You get to play 4 slot machines in one game. 4 slots with 25- pay-lines spinning is something some penny slot players would kill for. They love to get through their variations, and the Big Bang Theory does just that.
