Novomatic and Greentube: Who Makes This Slot

Which Name Belongs on the Game

Both names are right. They just do different jobs. Novomatic owns the maths and the brand. Greentube builds the online version, runs the servers and signs the deals with casinos. We opened a session on Greentube's own server to grab the paytable, and the small print at the foot of that screen reads Novomatic.

British operators split on this. Unibet writes Novomatic Interactive. Gamesys and Rank both write Novomatic. Admiral's games API answers Greentube for the very same title.

Three labels for one game. Each one is right on its own terms.

What the Catalogue Record Shows

Greentube puts out a catalogue file covering 742 games, and the entry for this one settles the question. It carries a company tag that the same file reads as Novomatic. It carries a technology tag of NovoSDK. It gives a volatility rating of 5 and an internal id of 149, and that id matches the one the game server uses.

The sequel is filed differently. Win Ways carries a company tag of its own, and that tag is Greentube. So the credit really does move inside one family of games.

Where the Licences Actually Sit

The group spreads across at least six legal entities, and mixing any two of them up produces a false sentence. Greentube Malta Limited, Maltese company C38281, holds licence MGA/CRP/120/2006, a business-to-business permit the register lists with the status Licensed. Britain is where the group is widest: six separate Gambling Commission accounts, covering Greentube Alderney on 39050, Greentube GmbH on 41020, Greentube Gibraltar on 43091, Greentube UK on 48666, NOVOMATIC AG on 45352 and Novomatic Gaming UK on 53969.

We read the register entry for one of the six in full. Account 39050 runs five activities, all of them remote and all still current: bingo and casino from November 2014, gambling software from December 2014, and general betting on real and virtual events from March 2018. For the other five we took the account number and the status and stopped there, so the table below leaves those cells empty rather than guessing.

Six Gambling Commission Accounts in One Group

Figures current as of 8 Oct 2026; the operator's live terms prevail.

Sweden lists game-software licences for two of those companies, running five years from July 2023. Greece registers NOVOMATIC AG as maker HGC-000004-MN. Greentube is not in that register at all.

The lesson is short. The name on a licence changes from country to country, so a sentence that picks the wrong one is wrong everywhere.

One Sanction on the Record

One of those six accounts carries a sanction, and it belongs here as plainly as the clean entries. On 9 January 2025 the Gambling Commission settled with Greentube Alderney Limited, account 39050. The company agreed a payment in lieu of a financial penalty of £1,000,000, plus divestment, costs and a public statement. The failings were in anti-money-laundering and customer-interaction controls between September 2022 and June 2023.

The same decision says the Commission found no evidence of money laundering or criminal spend, and that half of the sentence travels with the fine. The group's other five British accounts carry no regulatory action at all.

Three Things the Company Gets Wrong

The group's own site disagrees with the registers in three places. Each takes a minute to check. Its footer gives the Maltese licence to Greentube GmbH, while the regulator's own seal names Greentube Malta Limited. The footer also adds an issue date for that licence, and the Maltese register prints no issue date for any licence it lists. Its list of jurisdictions includes ADM, the Italian regulator, which licenses casino operators and keeps no register of game studios at all.

A fourth slip is smaller but points the same way. The list still names Schleswig-Holstein, a German regime replaced in 2021. It says nothing about the national body that took over, even though two group companies hold German operator permits today.

What No Register Will Confirm

Two claims about this game cannot be checked anywhere public. No lab publishes a per-title certificate for it. The certificate column on the maker's own page sits behind a trade login. Its public certifications page names four organisations, with no game and no number against any of them. The certificate pages at iTech Labs and eCOGRA answered 403 and 404 when we tried them. Greece runs the only public lab register we found, and it lists labs rather than the games they test.

Germany is the second gap, and it works the other way round. Its regulator licenses operators, not studios. So there is no German supplier licence to hold at all. The national whitelist prints company names, domains and dates. It prints no permit numbers. Anyone quoting a German licence number for a game studio is quoting something that was never published.
