History
Red Tiger was founded in 2014 by a team including former Net Entertainment and NextGen staff, with development in Malta and Bulgaria and a corporate base on the Isle of Man. It built a reputation on network jackpot mechanics — Daily Drop and similar timed jackpots — that gave operators a marketable hook independent of individual game titles.
NetEnt acquired Red Tiger in 2019 in a deal worth up to GBP 220m. When Evolution acquired NetEnt in December 2020, Red Tiger came with it. It continues to be marketed as a separate studio brand and appears as a distinct supplier in operator game lobbies, which is why casino supplier lists routinely show NetEnt and Red Tiger side by side even though both sit inside Evolution.
Notable
- Acquired by NetEnt for around GBP 220m in 2019, then transferred to Evolution as part of the NetEnt acquisition in 2020.
- Built its commercial pitch on network-wide timed jackpots (Daily Drop) rather than individual game mechanics.
- Registered on the Isle of Man with its operational base in Malta — both addresses are correct, for different purposes.
- Appears as a separate supplier from NetEnt in operator lobbies despite sharing an owner; the two domains resolve to the same IP address.
Notable work
- Dragon's Luck
- Gonzo's Quest Megaways
- Pirates' Plenty
- Rainbow Jackpots
- Piggy Riches Megaways
How well established
The NetEnt acquisition and the transfer to Evolution are documented from company announcements. The 2014 founding and the composition of the founding team are reported rather than taken from a register.
