NextGen gaming is one of the biggest online gambling-game developers in the world. Owned by the Swedish gaming giant NYX, NextGen Gaming and its 50 employees operate independently in Sydney and bring unique games to the online gambling world.
Pokies
Pokies are NextGen’s #1 focus. It has a track record of developing some of the most popular online games, like Foxin Wins.
It’s the Holy Grail for a game company to develop the “next big thing” of online slots. NextGen Gaming has succeeded in creating those next big things more than once. Its biggest hit, by far, is Foxin Wins, which has inspired the sequel, Foxin Wins Again.
NextGen’s success is based on two things: its long history of land-based gaming and its home base in Sydney. Lessons learned creating games for real-life casinos translate well to internet gambling too, and on the other hand players all over the world love the “pokie” – style of games NextGen has produced.
NextGen’s pokies work on mobile devices (Android, iPad, iPhone) and computers. All NextGen Australia games are instant play: you play in your web browser, no need to download or install anything. This is how all games at top Australian online casinos work, no matter who made them: NextGen, Netent or somebody else.
Scratchies
NextGen Gaming develops mobile scratchies with big wins.
NextGen’s scratchies borrow their themes from the company’s most popular pokie games. For example, you’ll have Irish Eyes 2 pokie and Irish Eyes 2 scratch game, Foxin Wins pokie and Foxin Wins scratchie and so forth. Like all NextGen games, its scratchies play perfectly on mobile devices.
NextGen’s scratchies’ trademark is their dead-simple gameplay. No complicated European-style scratch games here, instead the games are simple instant scratchies: scratch 9 squares, if you get 3 of the same symbol you’ll win.
How much you can win playing a NextGen scratchie depends on the exact game. However, the biggest wins are usually around 1000 times your bet, so a $2 scratchie could see you winning up to $2,000. If you want to win even more, you need to look at the biggest jackpots, which start at a million dollars.
Mobile
All NextGen’s games are mobile friendly.
Online casinos in Australia put in a lot of effort to provide you with the very best in mobile gaming – just check out their mobile pokie games and mobile live casino games to see all the excellent Android/iPad & iPhone compatible games for you.
NextGen Gaming Australia shares their vision that in the future most online gambling is experienced via phones and tablets. All new NextGen games and most of the older ones work on mobile devices.
Interestingly enough, some of the newest Next Gen games are actually better when experienced with a mobile device. Just try Eastern Dragon on your iPad – you’ll find the game plays smoother than on your PC or Mac.
Unique Features
NextGen’s games provide you with fun features no other game developer does.
Select-a-Play
The Select-a-Play feature provides you with a choice of free game types. You can either go for a high number of free casino games with a lower win multiplier or choose fewer free spins with a higher multiplier.
At NextGen Gaming casino sites, you can experience the Select-a-Play feature by playing Unicorn Legend. Get three emblems on the same payline and you get to choose 10, 15 or 20 free games with 4 to 12x win multipliers.
Super Bet
The Super Bet feature allows you to bet a bit more and get something extra in return. This “something extra” can be add wild symbols on the reels, higher win multipliers or something else beneficial.
As an example of the Superbet Feature NextGen’s Judge Dredd, you can get wilds on reel 3 if you play with Super Bet off. Super Bet level 1 grants you wild symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and full Super Bet mode allows wild symbols to appear on all five reels.
Gamble Feature
Gambling is an integral part of all true pokies. It’s a feature rarely seen in online slot games, but you can gamble in all NextGen slots.
Click “gamble” after a winning spin and you get a chance to double or quadruple your winnings. The game draws a random card face down. Guess the card’s colour to double your winnings or its suit to multiply your win by four. Of course, if you guess incorrectly you lose, so be careful.
