Top Software Developers
What makes an online casino stand out? That would be their online casino games.
And what makes those games stand out? The software developers that power ‘em. Here, we’ll take a snapshot of the leading software developers and tell you why they lead the pack:
Playtech – Created in 1999, Playtech has had time to master their domain. Where they excelled early was in the realm of real-time gaming, providing detailed transaction histories for players, and supplying an amply supply of fraud prevention tools making their gaming environment one of the safest around.
Some of the online casinos that rely on Playtech to power their games are William Hill, Titan Casino, Europa Casino and Casino Tropez.
Microgaming – This software developer has a HUGE portfolio of over 350 online casino games, and their software powers up more than 160 online casinos. Established in 1994, Microgaming is well known for their creative innovation and – simply put – the great look of their games. They’re also well-known for their immense progressive jackpot network, not to mention their online poker network and tournaments.
CryptoLogic – Speaking of good looks, CryptoLogic’s slots are extremely visually-appealing, not to mention the remaining bulk of their online games. Speaking of slots, CryptoLogic not only has a licensing deal with Marvel Comics, but also a new one with DC Comics, to make sure that all of you Superhero junkies (okay, I admit, I’m one too!) get your Iron Man, Spiderman, and now Batman and Wonder Woman slot fix. Found in 1995 by brothers Andrew and Mark Rivkin.
Real Time Gaming (RTG) – Created in 1998, this is one of the few online gambling software developers that allow U.S. players to join in on the fun. Best known for their slots offerings, this company consistently thrills the U.S. slice of the pie with strong visuals characterized by eye-catching and fun symbols, not to mention great playability. Check out their Real Life Series of slots for even more eye-popping visual delights.
Vegas Technology – Established in 1997, Vegas Technology also invites U.S. players to play their games. This company’s strength has been in updating classic casino games, giving them a new, modernized look and feel. Also, there’s no difference in response time or quality when it comes to playing their games on either their download or their no-download, flash-based version of their site.
Rival – Of this list, Rival’s the youngest. With so much to prove among the top guns, they put all of their eggs in the innovation basket. Lucky us. Rival’s created a line of games that are aimed squarely at the video generation of younger gamblers. If you want your video game and gambling fix, look no further than Rival’s “i-Slots”, multi-reel, multi-line slots games that feature video clips and unique story lines.
