Aspire Casinos featuring 1×2 Gaming Slots

1 x 2 gaming are an independent gaming software provider, based in the south coast city of Brighton and Hove. The seaside city is situated around forty miles (70 km) due south of central London. It is in fact technically a subsidiary of the holding company 1 x 2 Network, which also includes its wholly owned game development brand, Iron Dog. I x 2 gaming have around a dozen employees, most of whom are located within the Sussex area surrounding the city.

Founded in 2002, the company have developed a considerable portfolio of games. Together with their sister brand, they are a major supplier of games to online casinos, including those on the Aspire Global platform.

An Overview of the 1X2 Gaming Titles

Today, 1 x 2 gaming have more than one hundred games in their portfolio, covering all types of games you would expect to find on an online casino. More than half are slots, and these are form the majority of the company’s current output. To some extent though, it is its sister brand Iron Dog which is becoming the bigger name with its innovative slot releases.

Indeed, 1 x 2 gaming originally made its name through its unique and innovative virtual sports games, mostly focused on football. Today the virtual sports market is a far more crowded place, with many sports betting companies and portals producing and licencing their own games. Back toward the start of the century however, 1 x 2 gaming was the acclaimed market leader in this area, and the company continues to produce cutting edge virtual football games to this day.

There are currently around half a dozen different formats in the company’s locker, including virtual versions of the Europa League, the European Nations tournament (the Euros) and the World Cup. The Euro Legends game is also very popular, featuring some of the icons of European football of yesteryear.

There are currently more than fifty slots under the 1 x 2 gaming brand. New releases are fewer in number these days: its sister brand is responsible for most of the game development work as 1 x 2 concentrates more on its platform, network expansion and promoting its games around the world.

Nevertheless, it has a strong legacy of excellent titles. The company’s two strongest areas are diverse to say the least. Top of the list come their fruit themed games. It’s a very traditional genre, favoured by players who love the feeling of nostalgia stirred up by these games. Inspired by the design of old school slot machines frequently found in British amusement arcades and seaside venues found in places like 1 x 2 gaming’s home city, titles include Classic Fruits, Neon Fruit, Reel Fruits and the interesting hybrid Juicy Ninja.

By complete contrast, the company also like to focus on the dark side, with Hammer Horror style themes also in abundance. These include Dark Thirst, Dead World, Dracula’s Blood Bank, Vampire Hunters and Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead. Down Town is another game with a theme which is unlikely to feature as a story line in a Disney movie.

Faerie Nights is dark in a different sense. It is set in night time woodland, but it is more of a fantasy world and certainly not a horrific one. Featuring mythical creatures of a fairy tale land, it is a shadowy forest populated by fairies, pixies, unicorns and the Faerie Queen herself. The graphics are spectacular and represent a fine demonstration of 1 x 2 gaming’s design talents.

More conventional titles in the company’s canon include Irish genre favourites like Irish Love, Pots of Luck and Rainbow 3 x 3. The Ancient Egypt theme also gets some attention, with titles like Era of Gods and Treasure of the Pyramids.

There is also a range of more traditional casino games to be found. These include a variety of formats of Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette. There is some Keno and Sic Bo too. Even more unusually, what could possibly be more traditional than a format of the olde English pub game of Cribbage?

Finally, there is a 1 x 2 gaming selection of around half a dozen scratch cards and other instant games.

There don’t appear to be too many new 1 x 2 gaming slots on the way now, as the game design baton seems to have been passed to sister brand Iron Dog. Nevertheless, their legacy games are well worth looking out for. You should be able to find them on most Aspire Global casinos.
