This thread has become a bit of a spam fest, with signature quota posts, those randomly written ones, being thrown left and right.
I just want to clear up some things around the industry and how the regulations work.
#1. A licensed operator (online casino) is made out of several puzzle pieces, one of them are games that are served by the game provider. Operators mostly don't have their own games, it's to complicated to manage, you rather get a gaming provider that is experienced.
#2. The better the license, the more game providers the casino can have. An MGA licensed casino like Betsafe will have 5000+ games available, while a Curacao licensed casino like Coinslotty will only have couple thousand.
#3. Reputable gaming providers can be trusted, I'm talking here about publicly trading companies, Evolution, Tiger, the recently acquired NetEnt, as well as those that are still privately owned, but regulated. It's in no ones interest, business wise, to have a broken slot provider or one that scams players.
#4. Regulators and bodies that test slot machines within the industry, besides the Technical Services Bureau, are the following:
