High 5 Games

Software engineer and entrepreneur Anthony Singer founded
High 5 Games in 1995, bringing his years of experience in
high-value software design and marketing to the land-based
casino game design industry. Under Singer’s leadership High 5
Games, usually referred to as H5G, has developed and patented
innovative slot game features and resources. The company’s games
are used in casinos around the world and played by people from
more than 150 countries.

For many years H5G concentrated its efforts on product
development and relied on partnerships with established game
manufacturers like IGT and Bally to produce, sell, and maintain
the slot machines that have borne the High 5 Name and made the
company one of the leading slot machine game developers in the
world.

The company’s inventory of hundreds of gaming titles includes
famous classic slot machine games like Black Widow, Cats, Da
Vinci Diamonds, Golden Goddess, Noah’s Ark, and Secrets of the
Forest.

High 5 Games Corporate History

While it is not practical to discuss all the details of H5G’s
history in the gaming industry, a few notable events stand out.
The company released its first video slot game, 777, in 2002. By
2005 their games were being played in more than 50 countries.

High 5 Games entered into a development partnership with IGT
in 2003, releasing their first games together in 2004; the
partnership produced many of the above-mentioned hits for
land-based and online casinos around the globe. The partnership
was renewed in 2008, the same year that Da Vinci Diamonds was
released.

H5G released its 200th game in 2009 and in 2010 IGT named
Noah’s Ark its “Online Game of the Year”. The IGT partnership
agreement expired in 2011.

In 2011 H5G began releasing games through RMG (Racecourse
Media Group) Online in New Jersey casinos and elsewhere. The RMG
European platform, launched in November 2014, has also become a
significant distribution channel powering more than ten online
casinos. The company offers games in several languages and
currencies.

The company launched its own online casino on Facebook in
September, acquiring nearly 2 million players in just a few
years. In August H5G announced an agreement with Bally
Technologies, Inc. to develop games together. But H5G also
entered into a new agreement with IGT in October of 2012 with
the intention of developing new games for IGT’s land-based and
online gaming interests.

In April 2014 High 5 Games launched The Vault, its online
gaming remote server for RMG casinos in New Jersery. The
technology has since expanded into new markets. Partners using
the service include Tropicana casino and Botemania in Spain. H5G
also began releasing mobile gaming apps in 2014 as well.

After failing to resolve a dispute over royalty payments with
IGT, High 5 Games filed a lawsuit (High 5 Games, LLC vs.
International Gaming Technology, No. 15 C 2133) against the
manufacturer in the US District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois Eastern Division. A motion to dismiss the suit was
partially granted in October 2015 by Judge Elaine E. Bucklo,
citing precedents in US law governing use and application of
trademarks and contractual clauses, but some parts of the suit
were allowed to go forward.

Meanwhile, High 5 Games has added new partnerships with
companies like Carnival Corporation for their cruise ships and
Inspired for their remote gaming service Virgo.

In April 2015 H5G opened a new corporate headquarters at 1
World Trade Center.
