History

Chris and Simon were the first to bring Virtual horseracing as a betting game to the internet in 1999. Since then they have invented and created many unique titles. Chris is responsible for the games concept and design, the games engine and development. Our core games design team has over 60 years of experience in this industry. At XGames we have an extensive knowledge of the psychology that makes people gamble which is very important when designing the games.

These games have been pitched head to head on the exact same data bases. It is testament to the quality of our know how in this field that our games have achieved far greater revenue for those licensees. We have formed many partnerships over this period sharing our, know how, concepts and designs with these partners who help us to build these games.
