Founded in 1995, Ainsworth Games Technology (AGT) is the brainchild of Len Ainsworth, who has been involved in the casino games industry since creating his first slot machine in 1953. Back then, it was through his company Aristocrat, which Len sold his majority share in following a health scare in 1994. Aristocrat made Australian-born Ainsworth a billionaire as the company grew into one of the largest slots makers in the world, second only to International Games Technology (IGT). Once Ainsworth was well again, he decided to use his years of experience in the business to create AGT, a company with a clear goal - to become a leader in the gaming industry by creating exciting, engaging and entertaining games for the casino floor and online players.

Ainsworth Games
With offices in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, USA and Europe, AGT initially focused on land-based games before moving into online games in recent years. They currently have over 550 land-based games available in casinos across the world, configured to their respective markets (meaning there are more than 3,500 variations of their games available!) and more than 40 online games available across 35 online casinos.
Online games include re-imagined versions of land-based classics such as Mustang Money 2, which takes players to the American Wild West in search of the legendary wild horse, alongside original games and progressive slots. Many of their games interact with their land-based games, which a lot of players like as they feel it gives them a real casino experience, although others feel it can limit a game's design somewhat.
Ainsworth slots design
One of Len Ainsworth’s main aims, when he set up AGT, was to innovate. He wanted to move the slots industry forward and offer players the ultimate gaming experience whether they were in front of a slot machine or playing online, with games available on their PC, mobile and tablet.
To make this happen, AGT set up a state-of-the-art interactive division with mobile studios in Sydney, Australia and Las Vegas, Nevada. The division focuses on developing online games that stand out from the crowd and offer a range of features players love. Each year, they plan to release 50 new online games, keeping their offering fresh for loyal fans of the AGT brand. Where games are developed across platforms, they are released simultaneously with land-based and online versions available at the same time, including on tablets and mobiles.
For all their innovation, however, Ainsworth slots do have a certain style, one that is all their own and which many players like for its simplicity. There aren’t a lot of flashy features with AGT games. Instead, they let the themes take centre stage and focus on giving players what they want - chances to win big.
