CT Gaming provider: licensed online casinos and Mega Jack legacy
Key points about the CT Gaming provider
- Identity: CT Gaming EAD, a Bulgarian manufacturer founded in Sofia in 1999 as Casino Technology, renamed on 29 November 2019 and owned by Telematic Holding since 19 January 2026.
- Core business: slot cabinets (Next, EZ Modulo), Diamond King multigames, XLink and Buffalo jackpots, the Rhino CMS casino management system; no direct sales to online casinos.
- Online brand: the slots labelled "CT Gaming" in casino lobbies belong to CT Interactive, a former division launched in 2012 and a subsidiary of Telematic Interactive since August 2021.
- Catalogue: 473 game sheets on ctgaming.com as of 16 October 2026 (410 slots, 10 video pokers, 4 bingos), 90 of them still listed as "Coming Soon", against an official counter of more than 700 titles.
- Formats: five reels on 449 sheets, 20-line grids (102 sheets) and 40-line grids (90 sheets) ahead of everything else, a single title with 243 ways to win.
- Return to player: adjustable by the operator on 404 sheets, median of the best values at 95.8%, floor at 86.59%, ceiling at 99.8% on video poker.
- Jackpots: three-tier Diamond Tree since 2021, a Deluxe version that can be won from the base game, and a Buffalo server able to link venues and online casinos to the same pot.
- Licences: two certificates from the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency issued on 27 May 2026 and valid until April and May 2028; ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001; no remote gaming licence in the manufacturer's name.
- Languages: English, Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian and Spanish on the technical sheets.
- Demos: no free play version on the official website, hence no GAMES filter on this page.
- CASINO button: operators regulated in the jurisdiction of your IP address; the list stays empty where online casino play is not authorised.
- Warning sign: last official press release dated 19 November 2025, and an Interactive page on the website frozen on outdated figures (200 titles against more than 300 at CT Interactive).
CT Gaming online casino: from the Sofia manufacturer to regulated operators
Twenty years under the Casino Technology name, a rebrand for the twentieth anniversary, then an online brand that went its own way: that is what you need to know before you click the CASINO button at the top of this page. The button only lists licensed online casinos, regulated in the jurisdiction of your IP address, whose lobby carries slots labelled CT Gaming. And yet CT Gaming EAD sells nothing to casino sites. The Sofia company has been building cabinets, multigames and casino management systems since 1999; the Mega Jack titles you find online were brought to the screen by a separate company. Untangling that story before telling you where to play is the whole point of this review.
I went through the official website page by page on 16 October 2026, counted the 473 published game sheets, opened the Bulgarian commercial register and the licence register of the National Revenue Agency. Every figure carries its date, because a manufacturer's catalogue moves with every trade show, and the last CT Gaming press release goes back to 19 November 2025: eleven months of editorial silence worth flagging.
There is no GAMES filter on this page. CT Gaming publishes no playable demo, neither on its game sheets nor anywhere else on ctgaming.com. The free versions hosted on Kynox, in other words the free play simulators from other providers available here, come from other houses.
Casino Technology, CT Gaming and CT Interactive: three names for two companies
Three names circulate in lobbies and directories, and the confusion is kept alive by the aggregators themselves. Here is the reading grid, checked against the registers and the official websites on 16 October 2026.
| Name | Nature | Legal entity | Activity | Status on 16/10/2026 |
|---|
| Casino Technology | Former company name | Казино Технологии АД, EIK 130134141 | Manufacturer of cabinets and land-based games since 1999 | Name dropped on 29/11/2019 |
| CT Gaming | Current brand of the manufacturer | СиТи Гейминг ЕАД, same EIK 130134141 | Cabinets, multigames, jackpots, casino management system | Active, owned by Telematic Holding since 19/01/2026 |
| CT Interactive | Online brand | СиТи Интерактив ЕООД, EIK 206387659 | HTML5 slots for online casinos | Active, subsidiary of Telematic Interactive since August 2021 |
The Interactive page of the official website tells the story of the split with unusual candour: the online brand was launched in 2012 inside the manufacturer, and it has belonged to Telematic Interactive EAD since August 2021. The online studio born in 2012 under the name CT Gaming Interactive signed its first aggregation deals under that hybrid name, which explains why so many casinos still show "CT Gaming" in their provider filter while the content comes from CT Interactive.
Why do casinos write CT Gaming rather than CT Interactive?
The iGaming Business release of 31 March 2021 announcing the SoftGamings integration says "CT Gaming Interactive" in its headline and "CT Interactive" in its quotes. The platforms froze the first label in their menus, and the operators plugged into them inherited the name. Two years earlier, EveryMatrix had integrated more than 100 HTML5 titles under the single name CT Interactive, through the Elephant game server, according to InterGame of 17 April 2019. The result is one catalogue that appears under two names depending on which aggregator the casino uses.
For you as a player, the consequence is simple: a casino that displays CT Gaming offers the CT Interactive slots, themselves derived from the manufacturer's land-based titles. You will find Aztec Gold, 40 Treasures, Duck of Luck or Clover Wheel under one name or the other.
How the CASINO button on this page works
The CASINO button filters the operators listed on Kynox Casino that carry CT Gaming in their game library and hold a valid licence in your country. The filter is geolocated across the site's three domains, so what you see depends on where you connect from. A reader based in a jurisdiction where online casino play is not authorised will see no operator at all, and I would rather show you nothing than send you to a site operating outside the rules. If the list stays empty from your country, it means that no online casino offering this provider is available to you, not that the filter is broken.
From a Spanish IP address, three operators appeared in the filter on 16 October 2026. I am not naming them here: operators change providers more often than they change logos, and the button reflects today's inventory, not the one I saw while writing this review. Before you deposit, always check that the label CT Gaming or CT Interactive appears in the casino's provider filter, and that the licence shown in the footer matches your country of residence.
A quarter century of Bulgarian cabinets
The manufacturer was born in Sofia in 1999, the year the Bulgarian Gaming Board granted it the country's first licence to manufacture gaming equipment, according to the official timeline. Two years later the Mega Jack multigame became the best-selling product in Bulgaria, and its trio Aztec Gold, Slot-O-Pol and Champagne Party remains the backbone of every new Diamond King pack. You rarely see a trio from 2001 survive that many hardware generations.
From Sofia to five continents
The first installations outside Bulgaria date from 2002, in the Baltic states, Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Automated roulettes arrived in 2003, the CTIV platform in 2004, the GEMINI video slot in 2005, then UL and CSA certifications for North America in 2007. The year 2008 brought ISO 9001:2008 and the first GLI certification, while 2011 marked approval as a manufacturer in Malta under a Class II licence and in Croatia, along with the US patent for PLAYME.
The digital turn came in 2012 with the entry into remote gaming, VLTs, game servers and online play, followed by the deal struck in 2013 with the Tartu-based provider that opened the first Maltese casinos to the catalogue. In 2014 the company acquired ATI in Romania and TAG in Peru, two firms still listed among its offices. The Elephant remote game server, the Buffalo jackpot and the Rhino CMS system came out in 2016 along with more than 100 HTML5 games. In 2019, for its twentieth birthday, the company obtained ISO 27001 and prepared its change of name.
The 2019 rebrand and the move under Telematic Holding
The Bulgarian commercial register, available through papagal.bg, dates the switch from Казино Технологии to СиТи Гейминг to 29 November 2019, while the official website talks about "the rise of CT Gaming" in 2020. The new name went with the twentieth anniversary and an offer presented as both land-based and online. The irony is hard to miss: less than two years later, the online business left the manufacturer's perimeter to join Telematic Interactive.
The latest chapter is very recent. On 19 January 2026 the company moved from AD to EAD status, that is from a joint-stock company to a single-shareholder one, with Telematic Holding AD as sole shareholder. The declared beneficial owners remain Milo Borissov and Rosina Borissova. In other words, manufacturer and online studio are back under the same family roof, even if not in the same company.
Seven product lines for gaming venues
The official website organises its offer into seven product lines: cabinets, refurbished machines, games, multigames, casino management system, jackpots and WizzyCast digital signage. The homepage claims more than 900 employees worldwide, subsidiaries in more than 20 countries, more than 3,000 venues equipped and more than 30,000 terminals installed. I will come back further down to the gap between these group figures and the headcount of the Bulgarian company.
The Next and EZ Modulo cabinets
The current cabinet range revolves around two families. Next and Next Premium carry two 27 or 32-inch HD screens, an optional built-in i-deck, a bill validator with stacker and even a USB phone charger. EZ Modulo comes in 27/27, 32/32 and 32/32/32 versions, the last one lining up three 32-inch monitors, while EZ Modulo Tower and Tower Slant Top rely on a 43-inch curved 4K screen. The Titan model combines a 32-inch main monitor with a 43-inch J-curved one to display the pots. The Arch cabinet, with its horizontal 43-inch curved display, is filed under legacy products.
The Next 32 cabinet was shortlisted for Slot Product of the Year at the BEGE Awards 2025, according to the press release of 19 November 2025, alongside the Diamond Tree Deluxe jackpot and Rhino CMS. On the same show floors you meet a German brand from Espelkamp that builds its own cabinets and the Austrian giant from Gumpoldskirchen, two names that, like CT Gaming, built their online presence on a land-based foundation.
Diamond King and the multigame tradition
Multigames are presented as the centrepiece of the portfolio, with packs of 5 to 60 titles. The dedicated page lists fifteen on its first view: Diamond King I to V, Mermaid's Quest, Diamond Tree 20 Games, Tower Link, Mega Jack 2020 and 2021, Gamopolis Speedway 77, Tower 103, Speed King I and II. The Diamond King V pack carries 40 titles, 20 of them linked to the Diamond Tree Deluxe progressive jackpot, two Buy Bonus versions (Doctor Winstein and Duck of Luck) and the Mega Jack trio in its 20-line editions. It received certification for the Bulgarian market on 27 August 2025 and was installed in Zamora, Mexico, from October 2025 at a long-standing partner.
This pack format explains the structure of the catalogue that online casinos receive: short titles with 20 or 40 lines, designed for fast rotation on the floor. The providers who keep the 20 and 40-line fruit machine alive are not that many anymore, and CT Gaming remains one of the most loyal to this style.
XLink and Buffalo jackpots
Two pot architectures sit side by side on the Jackpot page. XLink builds the jackpot controller straight into the machine software, with one machine acting as primary server, which removes the external box. Buffalo Universal Jackpot Server goes further and links, where the law allows it, groups of floor machines and online casinos to the same pot. The Diamond Tree concept, launched in 2021, shows a tree of diamonds on the second screen and pays out three tiers; its Deluxe version now allows any tier to be won from the base game. Among the designers of pots shared between cabinets and online sites, few offer this land-based and digital bridge so explicitly.
Rhino CMS and the 13 venue management modules
The casino management system covers thirteen modules: accounting, cage, reception with internal blacklist, notifications, bonusing, player tracking, marketing, mystery and time-based jackpots, table management, cashless, TITO, security and tournaments. The page mentions neither online casino nor remote gaming: this product lives entirely on the floor. The Bulgarian press, in sponsored content published by Money.bg on 26 September 2024, recalled that the system had been named best system of the year 2023 at the BEGE Awards.
How many titles does CT Gaming really publish?
The Games page announces "more than 700 titles released so far". The public listing, browsed page by page on 16 October 2026, holds 473 sheets spread over 53 pages. The gap between the two figures is not explained by the site; it most likely covers titles withdrawn from the catalogues and regional versions. Here is what the official filters return at that date.
| Official filter | Sheets on 16/10/2026 |
|---|
| All sheets | 473 (471 distinct names, Magnetisimo DT and Nanook The White Ghost appearing twice) |
| Type Slot | 410 |
| Type Bingo | 4 |
| No type set | 59 (including 10 video poker games) |
| Classic Progressive | 114 |
| Hot Games | 30 |
| Coming Soon | 90 |
| Legacy | 22 |
| DT suffix (linked to Diamond Tree) | 38 |
| Buy Bonus versions | 3 |
The 90 "Coming Soon" sheets weigh heavily: nearly a fifth of the listing concerns titles announced but not delivered. It is common practice among floor manufacturers, who show next season's content at trade fairs, but it inflates the perceived size of the catalogue.
Formats and paylines
Of the 473 sheets, 449 show five reels, six show three, two have four, and fifteen declare none. Grids with 20 lines dominate with 102 sheets, followed by 40 lines (90 sheets), 5 lines (66), 25 lines (51) and 30 lines (47). Sixteen titles go up to 100 lines and a single one, with 243 ways to win, steps outside the classic model. The designers of 20 and 40-line video slots form a well-defined family on Kynox, and CT Gaming is an almost textbook member of it.
Variable return to player
The sheets publish their return to player, and 457 out of 473 show at least one value. An important point for anyone playing online: 404 sheets list several RTP settings, for instance 96.60% and 93.90% for Duck of Luck Deluxe, or five levels from 96.60% down to 88.90% for The Way of Fire, and up to eleven settings for Coffee for Mermaids between 96.70% and 87.60%. The operator picks the configuration. The median of the best values stands at 95.8%, the lowest figure found is 86.59% and the 99.8% ceiling belongs to the video poker games. The most frequent top award is 1,000 times the bet (186 sheets), 48 sheets go up to 10,000 times and three exceed 100,000.
Each technical sheet also specifies SAS 6.02 interoperability, the Tough Fighter and Tough Rider hardware platforms, the CTIV software platform and five interface languages: English, Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian and Spanish. These are the languages of its land-based markets, and the houses that still offer Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild on those same markets can be counted on one hand: CT Gaming lines up ten video poker tables, from Draw Poker to Super Aces, a direct legacy of the Reno company that made Draw Poker popular in 1979.
Bingo and automated roulettes
Four bingo sheets (Bingo Fast, Bingo Best, Jester Bingo and King's Tomb Riches) complete the listing, all announced between 90% and 95% RTP with a top award of 1,500 times the bet. The automated and semi-automated roulettes launched in 2003 no longer have a dedicated page. The providers who add bingo to their floor cabinets remain few in Europe, and CT Interactive has for its part announced an online bingo line with a shared jackpot for 2026, which carries this tradition onto the screen.
From floor machines to online casino lobbies
The path runs through CT Interactive, whose official history sums up the climb: 30 online games in 2014 through the Elephant server, first integrations in Romania in 2017, certifications for Switzerland, Malta and the Czech Republic in 2018, then Croatia, Latvia and Lithuania in 2019 with a portfolio of 150 titles and the Leopard platform. In 2021 a new company was founded to carry the CT Interactive brand, which became a subsidiary of Telematic Interactive, the first gaming company listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange in March 2022.
The figures differ depending on which shop window you look at. The Interactive page of ctgaming.com still talks about more than 200 titles, 1,500 operators and 18 certified markets, with a target of 24 releases a year. The ct-interactive.com site, on the other hand, shows more than 300 games, 27 markets and more than 2,000 casinos as of 16 October 2026. The manufacturer's page has clearly not been revised for years, and I would take the most recent values as the reference.
Three Bulgarian neighbours on the same fruit reels
Sofia has a rare density of fruit machine specialists. The other Bulgarian heir of the cabinet that moved into online gaming followed exactly the same script: a digital division born inside a terminal group, then renamed and given its own licences. Its parent group, a rival manufacturer that fills the same Bulgarian venues, shares the BEGE show and the G2E stands with CT Gaming. More recently, a Sofia studio from the 2020 generation chose to be born online from day one, without going through the cabinet. Three paths, one shared culture of red sevens and cherries.
Is CT Gaming a reliable provider?
The answer can be read in two public registers, and it is clear-cut for the land-based business.
Licences verified in the Bulgarian register
The register of organisers of production, distribution and servicing of gaming equipment, published by the National Revenue Agency on 12 October 2026 and reachable from the page of registers under the Gambling Act, lists СИТИ ГЕЙМИНГ ЕАД twice, each time represented by Biser Bozhanov and domiciled at 7 Kukush Street.
| Licensed activity | Extension decision | Certificate | Validity |
|---|
| Production, distribution and servicing of gaming equipment | 000030-3149 of 13/04/2023 | 000030-5160 of 27/05/2026 | Until 28/05/2028 |
| Import, distribution and servicing of gaming equipment | 000030-3130 of 12/04/2023 | 000030-5161 of 27/05/2026 | Until 27/04/2028 |
On top of these licences come the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certifications claimed on the Overview page, as well as memberships of the Gaming Standards Association, AGEM, the National Indian Gaming Association, ALAJA and the Bulgarian manufacturers and operators association BTAMOGI. The historical approvals (Malta Class II in 2011, Croatia, Greece in 2009, the Philippines in 2010, GLI certifications) come from the official timeline and could not be checked against foreign registers for this review.
On the online side: no licence in the manufacturer's name
No remote gaming licence is published in the name of CT Gaming EAD. That makes sense: market certifications for online content are held by CT Interactive, and its own review details them. A supplier licence of this kind is a business-to-business document; it tells you the content has been tested for a given market, but it never replaces the operator licence that the casino itself must hold in your jurisdiction. The manufacturer only supplies the Buffalo server and the technical base. If a casino puts forward a licence in CT Gaming's name to justify the compliance of its slots, be wary: the right document is the one from the online studio or the aggregator, together with the casino's own licence.
The figures the website does not show
The commercial register paints a different picture from the homepage. The Bulgarian company employed 136 people in 2021, against 190 in 2019 and 159 in 2018. Its revenue fell from 28.6 million euros in 2019 to 11.8 million in 2020, a 59% drop in the year venues closed, with an accounting loss of 1.56 million euros. Later accounts are not freely available. The "more than 900 professionals" of the official shop window therefore describe a group perimeter, distributors and subsidiaries included, not the Sofia parent company. The share capital, converted into euros on 1 January 2026, stands at 1,461,295 euros.
CT Gaming against the other manufacturers turned providers
The road from the floor to the screen is a Central European speciality. The Gmunden manufacturer specialised in fruit grids kept its online games under its own brand, where CT Gaming let its own go to a sister company. A Prague provider that also equips floor cabinets chose to publish demos for every one of its titles, which the Bulgarian manufacturer does not do. As for the Australian manufacturer whose online business barely weighs 2%, it shows what happens when digital stays an afterthought: CT Gaming at least avoided that trap by handing online to a dedicated structure.
| Criterion | CT Gaming | What I see at competitors |
|---|
| Origin | Sofia, Bulgaria, 1999 | Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Australia for comparable profiles |
| Games published on the site | 473 sheets on 16/10/2026 | From 49 to several hundred depending on the house |
| Official demos | None | Common among providers born online |
| Online content | Entrusted to CT Interactive, a separate company | Often kept in-house or through a division |
| Land-based licences | Two NRA certificates valid until 2028 | Variable, rarely this easy to read |
| News flow | Last press release on 19/11/2025 | Monthly flow at active studios |
This table does not tell the whole story, and each house deserves its own reading. To take the comparison further, my other reviews of manufacturers turned online providers sort each maker by origin and game format, which makes it easy to move from one to the next in a few clicks.
Free versions: why this Kynox page has no GAMES filter
Nowhere on the official website, and that is the reason there is no GAMES filter on this page. The game sheets on ctgaming.com describe bonuses, lines and rates, but no launch button appears anywhere. To get a feel for the mechanics CT Gaming made popular, the Jacks or Better hands you can play for free and the progressive prizes you can try without spending a cent from other providers are hosted on Kynox. To play the house titles for real money, the CASINO button remains the only serious door.
My opinion on the CT Gaming provider
What I appreciate is the administrative transparency. Two licence certificates you can look up, a commercial register that tells everything, technical sheets that publish their adjustable RTP settings without dressing them up. Few manufacturers expose eleven RTP levels on a single sheet; most prefer one flattering number. The Mega Jack trio, for its part, has something touching about it: twenty-five years of service, still headlining the Diamond King packs, like an old song you keep playing without getting tired of it.
What bothers me more comes down to three points. First, the confusion of names, which neither the manufacturer nor the online studio has tried to clear up, and which leaves players in front of a "CT Gaming" filter whose content no longer belongs to CT Gaming. Second, an official website frozen since November 2025, with an outdated Interactive page and a 700-title counter the listing does not confirm. Third, the total absence of demos, which deprives the player of the simplest check before depositing. A manufacturer that sells machines to thousands of venues can afford to open its games to free play.
Play CT Gaming slots as a floor catalogue carried online, with short grids, operator-adjustable rates and three-tier pots, and verify at the casino that the configured rate is the highest on the sheet. You now have the numbers to do it.
FAQ: CT Gaming
What is CT Gaming?
CT Gaming is a Bulgarian manufacturer of casino equipment founded in Sofia in 1999 under the name Casino Technology. The company CT Gaming EAD (EIK 130134141) builds slot cabinets, multigames, jackpot systems and a casino management system. It has belonged to Telematic Holding since 19 January 2026.
Are CT Gaming and CT Interactive the same company?
No. CT Interactive is the former online brand of CT Gaming, launched in 2012 and owned since August 2021 by Telematic Interactive EAD, a separate company. The slots labelled "CT Gaming" in online casinos are CT Interactive's.
Why do some online casinos show CT Gaming and others CT Interactive?
Because the online studio signed its first aggregation deals under the name "CT Gaming Interactive" in 2021. Each platform froze its own label, but the catalogue is the same.
How many games does CT Gaming offer?
The official website announces more than 700 titles released. Its public listing held 473 sheets on 16 October 2026, including 410 slots, 10 video poker games and 4 bingos, with 90 titles still announced as "Coming Soon".
What are CT Gaming's best-known games?
The Mega Jack trio (Aztec Gold, Slot-O-Pol and Champagne Party), launched in 2001, remains the house signature. Duck of Luck, 40 Treasures, Clover Wheel, Chilli Fruits and Winstorm also appear in every Diamond King pack.
What is the RTP of CT Gaming slots?
It varies with the configuration chosen by the operator. On 16 October 2026, 404 sheets out of 473 published several values, for instance 96.60% or 93.90% for Duck of Luck Deluxe. The median of the best values stands at 95.8%, the floor at 86.59% and the ceiling at 99.8% for video poker.
Is CT Gaming licensed?
Yes, for its land-based business. The Bulgarian National Revenue Agency issued it two certificates on 27 May 2026: 000030-5160 for the production, distribution and servicing of gaming equipment (valid until 28 May 2028) and 000030-5161 for import (valid until 27 April 2028). No remote gaming licence is published in the name of CT Gaming EAD.
Can you play CT Gaming games for free in demo mode?
No. The official website ctgaming.com publishes no free play version; its game sheets only describe bonuses, lines and rates. That is why this page offers no GAMES filter.
Are CT Gaming online casinos legal in my country?
It depends on where you live. The CASINO button on this page only shows operators licensed in the jurisdiction of your IP address, and it stays empty in countries where online casino play is not authorised. The provider's own certifications never replace the casino's operator licence.
What is the CT Gaming Diamond Tree jackpot?
Diamond Tree is a three-tier progressive jackpot launched in 2021, displayed as a tree of diamonds on the second screen. Its Diamond Tree Deluxe version, built into the Diamond King 4 and 5 packs, lets you win any tier straight from the base game.
