Daub Slots
Taking its name from the mark made on bingo card numbers, Daub Alderney Ltd is an online bingo software developer that is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. The giant is perhaps best known for developing - and later selling on - popular online betting sites like Wing Bingo and Posh Bingo. It currently operates leading Internet bingo giants like Kitty Bingo and Spin And Win Casino and even has a few online slots in its arsenal.
Daub has grown since its 2007 launch and now is a subsidiary of online gambling operator, Stride Gaming PLC. It has been involved in acquiring developers like Table Top, and supplies software for both online and mobile gaming platforms. Let's take a closer look at what "marks" Daub out from its competitors.
About Daub Alderney Ltd
Daub Gaming started out with a group of online bingo sites offering 90-ball and 75-ball games to punters on the web. The developer's two major sites, Wink Bingo and Posh Bingo, were sold off two years after setting up. You might know Wink Bingo as one of the market's leaders (along with its other major site, 888Ladies) from the giant 888 Holdings. 888 snapped up the two rooms for a cool £60 million.
The company re-emerged as a standalone gambling company in 2012 (adding 'Alderney' to its moniker) and launching several new online bingo rooms. Spin And Win Casino and Kitty Bingo took off where the popular Wink Bingo left, with scratch cards and slots added to the sites' lobbies.
Daub Alderney now enjoys licensing from the UK Gambling Commission in line with recent gaming legislation. That means UK players can enjoy totally safe and segregated real money play on their laptops. However, some of Daub's online bingo output is available to residents across the world.
In 2014, the company - as a subsidiary of London-listed Stride Gaming PLC - bought out several brands from Table Top Entertainment, including Jackpot Liner and Jackpot Cafe. A year later, Stride signed a cross-site deal with Realistic Games to provide slots and table games across Daub Alderney's bingo rooms and Internet casinos.

Popular Bingo Games & Sites
The majority of Daub's games are powered by Adobe Flash and can be played for free or real money online or on mobile through a browser. All Daub-powered sites like Kitty Bingo are licensed in Alderney, and in the UK via the Gambling Commission.
If you've played on the (now) 888 sites like Wink Bingo, you'll know all about Daub's MO: bright colours, friendly service and support, and some innovative games.
Features: Secure bingo rooms give you a raft of in-game options like displaying your best card first, highlighting all cards with three numbers to go, and an 'automatic daub' function for fast card filling. Daub also lets players select an avatar and a customised dauber for that personal touch.
There's also a 'Lucky Numbers' feature on some Daub bingo rooms. This lets you pick (and later change) four special lucky numbers before playing any game. If your numbers are daubed on the same card during a 90-ball game, you could win the Lucky Numbers Progressive Jackpot.
Bingo Games: Daub games are available in a range of bingo varieties, including 5-Line, 75-Ball, and 90-Ball, with a pre-buy option letting gamblers purchase tickets hours or days before a game starts. Prices start from 1p a ticket.
Popular bingo sites in the Daub arsenal feature jackpots ranging from £50, but the £10,000 'Slider' often boasts hundreds of players. Some rooms have linked jackpots so that Daub players can compete with each other across multiple bingo websites. With some games, a goodie bag featuring bonuses and tickets can be won if you land a Bingo in under 44 calls. A 90-ball progressive is offered by other Daub bingo games too. Players must call Bingo in 31 calls or fewer.
As with all good bingo rooms, Newbie Rooms allow 90-ball games for new players, while Turbo bingo allows fast games that take just a few minutes. Players can even choose their own dabber ('daub') stamp and colour. A handy chatbox lets you talk to other players, while a Live Help box allows players to chat to a support member without leaving the screen.
'No Limits' bingo rooms take place daily, weekly and monthly, and feature tickets priced up to 50p. Games are linked, as with the progressives, across multiple Stride Gaming/Daub bingo rooms.
Scratch Cards: Any bingo site online isn't worth its salt without a scratch card or two propping up the lobby. Games like Scratch 4 Gold - produced in conjunction with CORE, feature top prizes of £10,000 for a £1 stake.
Side Games & External Slots: Like all good bingo developers, Daub has a range of online slots for players to enjoy in between bingo games. Some Daub Alderney-powered sites feature slots from the likes of SG Gaming. You'll also find a smattering of table games from suppliers like Play 'N Go and NetEnt, but not Daub themselves.
Eyecon Gaming supply some of the 'mini-games' available in the slots tab on the Daub-operated bingo site. These are usually simple affairs with fixed paylines and low max bets. Check out Very Merry Christmas and Twinkle for a quick spin.
Elsewhere, SG Gaming titles like Legend of the Pharaohs and massive progressive favourites like Siberian Storm can be played for real money. These games feature huge numbers of paylines and some serious top prizes that can reach hundreds of thousands of coins.
2015's deal with Realistic Games means that Daub Alderney players on sites like Kitty Bingo can enjoy titles like Chasing Rainbows and The Great Pyramid.
Own-Branded Slots: However, there are also some (fairly simple) Daub-developed slots out there - some exclusive to their individual bingo rooms - like Cute and Cuddly and Kitty Bingo. These load up in mini-windows on-site and feature five reels and 25 paylines. There is also often a bingo theme on the reel spaces. Some games like The Lost Slot Of Riches have holidays included as top prizes, or the cash alternative.
More innovative games also exist in the Daub arsenal. Lady Luck Deluxe (not to be confused with NOVOMATIC's Lady's Lucky Charm Deluxe) features animation, well-defined backgrounds, and big bonus icons. Like its simple bingo side games output, Lady Luck Deluxe offers players 25 paylines to bet across, but there are also two bonus features: a free spins round with 10 free games, plus a 'Prize Pick' round and 'Match & Win' round for quick instant wins. Players can also earn a mystery prize during the base game.
Branded Games: Although they don't form a massive part of the Daub portfolio, branded games are an important part of the developer's output. One of the many slots based on the hit 1970s musical, Grease: Danny & Sandy features simple free spins bonuses and jackpots up to 10,000 coins.
Online Casino Brands: Daub's games can be found on Stride Gaming sites and casinos like Kitty Bingo, SpinAndWin, Jackpot Cafe, Jackpot Liner, and Lucky Pants Bingo.
