All top gaming sites depend on forming a strong partnership with multiple leading software providers. Gaming operators do offer a first-class user interface, lucrative welcome bonuses, and 24/7 customer service but punters also look for new games and the best features that are fulfilled by the software companies to meet customer demand.
From video games, live games, scratch cards, instant games there are multiple types of software for gamers. However, each software provider has something different to offer to the websites so that big money jackpots like Microgaming can be easily identified. Similarly, distinct graphics, animations, sound effects can easily help punters identify whether they are playing games from NetEnt, Vivo Gaming, etc.

In A Nutshell
Summing up, only gaming operators do not need to hold a license in order to entertain punters by providing the framework for live games. Software developers in New Zealand must also be regulated and licensed for providing games that are fair and legitimate. All the games provided by software companies are assessed.
When a new game is created, it is individually tested to check whether the Random Number Generator (RNG) is matching with the RTP percentage. For progressive jackpots, a thorough examination regarding the pot to be randomly triggered is performed as well. Thus, we can say that software developers are the actual backbone of online games which helps in providing punters with a chance of winning real money in a safe and secure environment.
