4ThePlayer

With a statement claiming their games are ‘made by players 4ThePlayers’, there is bound to be plenty of commotion about this industry newcomer! And considering that they have achieved such a feat within a little over a year of existence, expectations are continuously growing about what they’re planning to launch next.

4ThePlayer both works on new game releases and forges partnerships that will guarantee them presence on many reputable online casino platforms worldwide. Without clear definitions of their entire marketplace, yet quite a promising team and products to boost, any news and announcements are turning heads all over the expectant online casino community.

4ThePlayer Software & Games

To start off with what is known so far, it is important to know that one of the company’s most public appearances was the February, 2019 announcement. Yggdrasil, an already established and leading casino software developer company, stated in an official press release that 4ThePlayer is the fifth company to have partnered with the Yggdrasil Game Server (YGS) Masters Studio – following in the footsteps of Northern Lights, Rabcat, Fantasma and Avatar UX.

4ThePlayer have also sealed a deal with the Relax Gaming Silver Bullet program. This partnership allows them access to nearly 400 casino brands, as well as greater focus on the actual products thanks to shared compliance, platform and similar responsibilities.

Moving to the actual games that are expected to be featured across this massive pool of casino sites makes the novelty of the company much more evident. In fact, they have only released one slot title so far, but with three others waiting in line for what has been announced as an end-of-year promotion on Dec. 11, 4ThePlayer looks like it’s catching up to speed.

Online Slot

The slot already launched is titled 9k Yeti, taking players on an adventure up the Mount Everest, interestingly high 9,000 meters as well. And with a 9,000x max bet win potential for players that choose this slot game, there is no doubt that each product in the company’s portfolio receives due attention. As players move along the gameplay, they will face the Yeti, as well as the potential to trigger the free spins bonus round by landing scatters anywhere on the screen.

With a minimum of 88 free spins, and a maximum of 880, we can see why their games are dubbed for the player. Generosity is definitely a strong suit of this 4,096 ways slot with a 97% RTP, and no less is expected of the upcoming releases.

Speaking of which, the company’s portfolio on their official website already lists Shark, zombie-themed 1 Left Alive slot, as well as Zeus vs. Thor titles as coming soon. Some variety is present until then, as the company also delved into table games with their unique 100 Bit Dice title. This one allows players to bet on the roll of a dice using crypto tokens, and boasting a 98.94% RTP.

Having in mind that all these titles were primarily intended for mobile device platforms, it is fairly expected that they are made to fit the most popular operative systems – Android and iOS. Still, what is unique about their approach is the Big Reel Portrait Mode. This is their in-house built gameplay mode for mobile devices specifically, allowing players to get a much better visual and all-emerging experience by using up to 70% of their screens instead of the regular 20%.

History and Licenses

As can be concluded from the intro, 4ThePlayers doesn’t have much history as a brand of its own. However, if you consider that its two founders boast a combined nearly 50 years of experience in the industry, things are definitely looking up for the company.

It appeared in July 2018, as a studio founded by one Andrew Porter and Chris Ash in the UK. The former, Andrew Porter, is best known for having worked as a Casino Content Director in Playtech, although he had also operated as Head of Product and Math at Ash Gaming.

It is precisely this company, Ash Gaming, that is most related to the other founder – Chris Ash. He started what was initially known as Ash-Leuker in 2000 before rebranding it into Ash Gaming in 2002, and ultimately saw its successful acquisition by Playtech in 2011.

Another resounding name behind the 4ThePlayer brand is Henry McLean, who traded marketing for Ash Gaming in order to become the Commercial and Marketing Director of the new online casino developing establishment.
