Astra Games holds a reputation for high quality and dynamic innovation dating back to 1992. In the autumn of 2004 the Bridgend-based company consolidated its position as a major force in the international gaming industry by becoming a subsidiary of the world-renowned Novomatic Group of Companies. From the start, Astra has continually broken new ground in gaming machine design. The company pioneered the multiplayer concept, followed by sit-down multiplayers and video multiplayer products. And despite being much imitated, Astra machines remain market leaders. The company’s target is always to progress through innovation. What is important is always the game: first, last and always. To achieve that target Astra relies on its employees and on the strength of its relationships with partners and contributors in the UK and in key international markets. The Astra team is the very best of the best in the business. They combine solid industry experience with the enthusiasm and dynamic innovation of youth. The result, for Astra’s customers and for those that seek enjoyment and entertainment from their game play, is a high quality game portfolio that is constantly expanding and continually breaking new ground.
