About Concept Gaming
Concept Gaming is an online casino game development studio founded by J.R. Doughty, Huw Ford, and Jim Preedy. The three founders brought a combined background of more than 30 years in land-based gaming, including prior work at Skill 4 Prizes, a company known for pioneering skill-with-prize and fixed-odds hybrid games. Concept Gaming operates as a compact, specialist supplier; the team numbers close to 50 people, and remains independently owned.
The studio’s games are developed in HTML5 and are delivered as fully dynamic titles that adapt to every screen size, orientation and device. Its proprietary delivery platform, the Pulse platform, is developed in PHP, MySQL, Erlang and JavaScript and is designed to support scalable server deployment. The current games portfolio includes: video slots, multi-hand blackjack (American and European), roulette, craps, baccarat, keno, and a Tournament product that can be implemented as a paid or free play option on slots, blackjack and roulette. The studio also accepts commissioned development of the following types: game reskinning and custom RTP configuration.
Pulse enables both direct integration for operators and connection through third-party aggregators. Concept Gaming’s distribution has been extended through aggregation partnerships with SoftGamings, for instance, placing the portfolio alongside larger catalogues for operators who integrate via a single API rather than directly. Betsson, LeoVegas, and NYX have carried Concept Gaming content.

Operator Considerations
Concept Gaming is a compact, specialist studio with a track record in mechanical innovation and bespoke development, rather than a high-volume content factory. The studio’s Tournament product allows operators to run competitive events across any slot or table game in the catalogue. It’s a retention and reactivation tool that larger studios do not consistently offer at this level of customisation. Content supports multi-currency operations, including cryptocurrency, which makes it suitable for crypto-oriented operator brands.
Operators seeking catalogue depth in the thousands of titles should look elsewhere. Those evaluating differentiated mechanics, custom RTP configurations, or white-label tournament infrastructure may find the studio’s profile relevant to specific product gaps.
