If you're not from Russia, then you probably won't have heard of Igrosoft. Despite being formed way back in 1999, the company has generally flown under the radar in the iGaming industry, despite there being a wide range of online casinos that offer Igrosoft games in their selection.
There could be several reasons for this low profile. Their website looks like it hasn't been updated since Igrosoft's formation in the 1990s, and they only have a handful of games for players to try out on there. It doesn't announce many news items, doesn't use social media and rarely releases new games.
That said, Igrosoft games run on software that uses HTML technology — despite their website saying it uses the now-defunct Flash — so players can play on mobile devices, as well as desktops, without seeing a big drop in quality. The company is noted for its software development, and it appears to be up to date with modern iGaming requirements.
In 2020, Igrosoft successfully passed Random Number Generator (RNG) certification at iTech labs, an accredited testing laboratory. This certificate confirms that all Igrosoft games are completely random and not rigged to con the player out of their hard-earned cash.
Igrosoft games tend to reflect their creator company in terms of appearance: simple, straightforward and slightly outdated. Having said that, they're super easy to play and are reminiscent of classic slots titles that are hugely popular with players.
Crazy Monkey is probably the most famous Igrosoft slot. Set on a jungle backdrop, you simply spin the five reels of animals, fruit and tribal masks to find a winning combination. Once you get one, you can choose to 'Take or Risk' the prize, giving you the chance to boost your win. There are also bonus and super bonus games should you get lucky. The game's success led to a Crazy Monkey sequel which follows a similar format just with sharper graphics and quicker gameplay.
The rest of Igrosoft's slots games all tend to follow a similar formula. One that stands out, though, is Gnome: a game that takes you to the cave of the gnome central character. The reels are the gnome's way of mining for riches, which for him are minerals, and for you is a Wild symbol, a bonus game and, hopefully, a cash prize. Like all Igrosoft slots, you get the chance to increase this prize with 'Take or Risk'.
Feel free to try all of these Igrosoft titles out on this page for free: many players choose to do this so that they can enjoy the games without paying a cent, plus it lets them get to grips with how they work should they stake money in the future. If you're looking for new Igrosoft releases, however, you might be waiting a while.
Unfortunately for table games fans, Igrosoft don't offer any classic casino games amongst its collection, so for roulette, blackjack and video poker titles, you'll have to look elsewhere.
