Barcrest Group Limited is a company that first saw the light of day in 1968. They primarily focus on creating and marketing of gaming equipment, online and offline, to the European market. They are one of the most reliable game providers available and offer SWP gaming cabinets, gaming terminals based on servers, and video cabinets with multi game features to bingo clubs, arcades, elite private member clubs and pubs. Barcrest has their sights set on the UK market in particular since they are located in Ashton-under-Lyne. If you ever played a fruit machine in the UK during the 80s or 90s it was probably a slot machine from Barcrest you fed your money into.
They started out with just regular slot machines for the UK market and would carry on to do so until the 1990s where they were acquired by IGT. This would be the start of a prosperous journey and they ended up being one of the largest gaming software and solution providers in the industry. Barcrest was up for grabs a couple of years later and got picked up by the Scientific Games Corporation (SGC) who would take them to the next level. SGC were providing gaming solutions to over 50 countries and the merge of these companies just felt right.
So what do Barcrest have to offer today? They are primarily focused on, and specialized in, software systems and gaming products catered to computers and mobile devices. They used to do bingo and arcade games available in pubs etc. until just a few years ago, but that was the end of an era and they now focus mostly on the modern and profitable online gaming business.
