The company was founded in 2007 by Jindriska Moravcova in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. Eastern Europe is home to some of the most innovative slot game developers and Apollo is one of the region’s pioneers. Originally named Apollo Soft, but quickly rebranded as Apollo Games, the company began by focussing on land-based gambling machines and later shifted its attention towards online games. Their physical presence was largely confined to smaller casinos in Europe and Africa, but by embracing online casinos they have been able to expand rapidly into a global enterprise. In 2019, Apollo agreed a partnership with Softgamings to supply Apollo’s content to the considerable number of operators who use the Softgamings platform. Click here to read more.

The Pick of the Apollo Games Portfolio
Blood
The name says it all really - another conventional set-up with a surprisingly visceral theme of vampires. The game play is fairly routine, but Apollo have thrown everything at the gruesome graphics and there are enough extras, including a gamble feature, to hold your attention.
Blood Revival
The success of the original vampire slot encouraged Apollo to produce this 2019 sequel, <a href="https://www.slotstemple.com/free-slots/blood-revival/">Blood Revival</a> which delivers more of the same in terms of its imagery but has a much larger maximum payout of 12,000x. All the other usual features are present, including the gamble feature and expanding wilds.
Gangster World
Heavily influenced by the look of American gangster movies set during prohibition this game has a conventional 5x3 grid and 20 paylines but it offers three jackpots and includes some really entertaining elements including the bat smash a wanted feature, a shotgun and even Molotov cocktails. There is a lot going on in this game, with mini-games, free spins and the always popular gamble feature.
Slot Birds
For something completely different from the dark world of the Chicago gangster, try Slot Birds which is a wonderfully silly game featuring cartoonish birds. The noises they make when you land a win are priceless and the animation is always amusing. It has 243 win ways, cascading reels and lots of features, including a wild which even on non-winning spins can spread across the grid to increase your chances of winning.
Mad Mechanic Deluxe
Released in 2018 this was a sequel to Apollo’s successful Mad Mechanic. Both games used steampunk themes to turn a conventional 5-reel, 5-payline game into something special. The graphics are first class and in addition to scatters and wilds you’ll find 2 special symbols. You can try to double each win with the gamble feature or simply build up your credit balance with the base game winnings.
Slot Ghosts
This is a horror-themed slot which uses 3D graphics to give its ghosts a realistic, ghoulish creepiness. As is often the case with Apollo Games, it has a conventional five-reel set-up and 243 cluster pays instead of paylines thanks to its Tetris drop scheme. It also has a progressive jackpot.
Pandora
Despite the standard 5x3 grid and just 5 paylines, Pandora is a visually stunning game drawn from Greek mythology and the story of the god Hephaestus who was ordered by Zeus to create a beautiful woman, but didn’t bargain on the calamitous contents of the infamous Pandora’s Box. Offering wilds, jackpots and a gamble feature, it combines the essentials of a modern slot with a slightly unusual mythological setting.
