Online Casino Software

| Published on March 9, 2011

Each and every Online Casino is run by software that aims to provide a user-friendly experience and nice graphics for the online player. Unfortunately, not all Casino software is reliable because some Casinos have software that is characterised by malfunctions which do not, therefore, provide a fair gaming environment and which leave many players confused. Some Casinos also use software that has not been tested by major firms such as Price Waterhouse Coopers.

The benchmark for quality Casino software has been provided mainly by four major software players that have payout rates in excess of 96%. These software manufacturers have been in the industry for years and, during that time, they have created reputable names for themselves. Playtech and Microgaming are big players in this field. Cryptologic is also by far and away the most advanced software in online gambling. It offers amazing graphics and has an outstanding reputation. Below is an assessment of some of these software brands:
 

Microgaming

This is the best known Online Casino software. Many Casinos have been using this software as they are the widely used gaming software in the gambling industry. This software is known for creating new games, whether it's poker or some video poker games, it has what you need. This software can create games such as blackjack, roulette and many others. The software comes with many bonuses and you will definitely come across an Online Casino that uses it.

Playtech

Playech Casino software is not quite as popular or reputable as Microgaming but it is slowly making its way up there and gaining some level of recognition. This software has not, however, always had things going so well for it because in the 1990's it ran into countless problems over the poor quality of its graphics. After a major overhaul in 2002, though, it made its way to the top. The multi deposit bonus option in this software is one of the things that have helped catapult it to prominence as currently it ranks as the second online gaming software in the world.

Cryptologic

This is the most sophisticated and advanced online gaming software that the world has ever seen, although there are just 10 major Online Casinos that use this software. It may not be the most popular online gaming software, but it certainly is the most complex. It has been around for a couple of years and it is traded on the UK stock exchange. Recently, Playboy signed a contract with this software for use with their Online Casino. Cryptologic tends to focus its energy and resources towards creating a gaming environment that is very similar to the real life Las Vegas Casinos. It is also known for creating marvellous slot machines that are very complicated.

Odds On

Odds On is basically a mixture of different gambling software. Caribbean Gold and English Harbour are two highly respected and reputable Casinos that use this software. The software has been in operation since 2006 but it wasn’t all that great when it started out. It was later upgraded and has since become very good. It introduced video slots that are very similar to those used in Microgaming. The graphics are great and the bonus payouts are very high.
