Old Skool Studios (OSS) is an online casino game developer launched in 2009. The Vancouver, BC, Canada-based company, founded by Mike McGraw is still privately held and employs about a dozen team members in Canada.
The labs have always focused on quality over quantity with a fairly slow rollout of premium games. Their first big hit was 2014’s Epic City slot. The title was picked by up tier one operators like Leo Vegas, Mr Green, bet365, Unibet, and Gala/Coral.
Software
All of the company’s titles are published in HTML5. This allows players to access the games on any device with a web browser. No special software or Flash plug-ins or permissions are needed.
The Quickfire platform can be the sole game delivery software an online gaming site uses, or it can simply act as an aggregation tool. In short, Quickfire can be plugged into nearly any other platform, and operators can choose which games to offer players, or offer them all.
Conclusion
Old Skool Studios produces very few games, but the ones they do release are stone-cold perfect. The endorsement of being invited into the Microgaming family speaks volumes for the company.
There are hundreds of labs and studios out there. We like the fact that they have chosen quality over quantity in developing their library. When a small handful of games can appear on dozens and dozens of gaming sites, their distribution network has covered the quantity angle.
