Software manufacturers

In this post I shall list only brief description to the most basic manufacturers of the software for the Internet casino. The majority of modern casinos, popular and known online are arranged by an identical principle. The company-owner of Internet casino buys from the company-manufacturer of online casino software the license and a software. The company-manufacturer of a casino software is engaged only in manufacture (including poker and bingo software) and its complex service, including banking.
Development of an own game platform very complex, long employment which demands greater material inputs. Considering also an increasing competition,now there few online-casino which would create an own casino-software. Much easier, more cheaply and more conveniently to buy it at large company-manufacturer of the game software. But nevertheless, still there is some rather good Internet casino with a software of own development.

Advantages of Internet casino from the known manufacturer:

First - Large companies care of the reputation and beacause of that if the casino uses a software from the known manufacturer - for the player it is a guarantee of honesty, reliability and safety of games in this casino.
Secondly - Increasing competition forces firms to improve constantly the product, offering players new versions of the software, thinking out new games and improving quality and convenience of the casinos games.
Thirdly - Safety of money transactions. As a rule in all casino the bank (cashier) is built in a casino and guarantees safety and confidentiality of your account. Besides, the large company serving many online casino will easier and more quickly agree about connection of new systems of electronic payments.
In the fourth - Progressive jackpots ! As the casino using software of one manufacturer, deduct the certain percent in the sum of the general growing jackpot, more casino use a software of one manufacturer, more sum of progressive jackpot grows!

Manufacturers of Internet casino software:

Beginners of the market:

OddsOn - Vegas Technology ® - Large manufacturer of a software. Its casinos staying slightly isolated group because of features of licensing and the property of the company. The matter is that the company-manufacturer of a casino software belongs to company EH New Ventures which was primary the owner only several casinos, but success of this casino group has led to that the company has redeemed the manufacturer and has renamed a software. These are very good online casino.
RealTime Gaming - Also large and known manufacturer. In connection with especial conditions of licensing for the casino-software, some casinos have slightly damped reputation of this magnificent provider of a software. Nevertheless, RTG casino software concedes to nothing, and on some parameters and surpasses the competitors.Basic positive features of this software - small size of the full version of a casino, very fast games, rather loyal to the player rules of games,low interest.

Old, "checked up" Internet-casino manufacturers:

PlayTech - has very hard gone through leaving from the North-American market after introduction of the new legislation in the USA. Many groups send away in a shadow, part of a casino was closed, but the leaders were kept working and operatively enough switched to the European and Russian markets. Moreover, PlayTech actively develops and advances the poker rooms network - "iPoker by Playtech", new casinos have opened, and they have considerably grown in a network of bingo halls. As if to the Russian market here PlayTech only strengthened and expanded a spectrum of the Russian-speaking casinos. To the famous "Brandy Casino", have joined completely in Russian - "Casino Tropez" and "Europe Casino". Many sites of Playtech casino have got Russian-speaking versions and prepare at least 5 Playtech casino with completely Russian software and support from known English-speaking brands.
Cryptologic(WagerLogic) - It is considered, that exactly this company makes most realistic casino games. Have perhaps the shortest list of client casinos on Cryptologic platform that does not prevent to have the loudest names and the highest reputation and popularity in the online players community. Monetary transaction are made by affiliated company E-CASH DIRECT, that basically rather conveniently and guarantees a high level of safety of monetary transactions between casino and players.
BOSSMEDIA - Conservatism and classics perhaps the main criteria describing a game casino software from this manufacturer. Always quiet and pleasant atmosphere reigning practically in all casino with this software influences on emotional spirit and on results of game. The quantity of games are not amaze with a variety, however very low interest of casino advantage in the majority of games, plus reputation of the most fair Internet casino software compensate it. Bossmedia casino are very much appreciated in the environment of professional players for the most loyal and most approached to the reality rules of games and atmosphere of a casino. In the Russian market are presented by a leader among their casinos - Casino Club Russia.
MicroGaming - Most large and known manufacturer of a casino software. Total quantity of different games in their last version of a casino software has exceeded 300! Number of client casinos also continues to grow and develop stably. Also Microgaming actively advances the poker rooms network - "Prime Poker" Microgaming Poker Rooms.Alreade comes closely nearer to most popular Internet poker rooms. Besides the software is interesting by a lot of games with progressive jackpots, Microgaming offers the biggest for today number of such casinos games. First large jackpot, in history of online-casino, has been won in one of Microgaming casino - CaptainCooksCasino. How many have won ? $1.540.000. But it is not the main thing, main is that such jackpots are win in Microgaming casino every month!

It is far not the full list of software manufacturers. I have not mentioned in this list enough big group of a casino on Net Entertainment platform - Ongame Poker Network, except of this exist set of Internet casino having own casino software about which I shall tell later. Also I shall try to consider more developed each large manufacturer of a casino software listed above.

Casino choice guide

After some researches lead by me on online casino ( Review on Russian online casino for example) I have decided to write the guide for people looking for hazardous adventures in Internet Casino.

How to choose online casino to the beginning player ? On what it is necessary to pay attention at a choice ? What will be a determinative for reception of positive experience of game in online casino?
So. How to "choose Internet casino". A question complex enough only firstly. Having visited about ten sites of online casino you at once will note the basic general features and sections, and also will see the most important conditions and features for yourself of each casino.

1) Site of the Internet casino. Before a choice of any thing, I always and to all recommend easy examine it. And to examine its most visible parts. Usually it is enough in 90 % of cases to solve, whether it is necessary to learn about this casino further, or to not spend time on it.
What should be on a site of online casino ? I list under the order:
- information on owners and ways of communication (contact us, about us)
- a trade mark of the country in which the casino is licensed
- a trade mark of the company manufactured games (can be exceptions)
- "games viewing" page, "help" page, "bonus info" page
Also site should have pleasant convenient and not cheap enough design, easily accessible information on conditions and restrictions between the player and a casino, and also easily accessible information on ways of contact to a support service.
2) Game casino software. Second important parameter at a choice of online casino is a kind of a casino software. Depending on "for what" you choose a casino, for constant game , or for casual rare entertainment, the kind of a casino will have crucial importance.
Game software of online casino differs on two important parameters: first is a kind of program downloadable , or not downloadable , and second - what company manufactured this software.
- Downloadable Internet casino - for the first it is necessary to download a casino downloader usually 150-300 kb , then download the basic program installation file. It differs on manufactured company, but is usual at a rate of from 1,5 Mb up to 12 Mb. After installation and unpacking of a casino file, it is necessary to register a casino account , and to enter in the game client. Usually in most installers some games are loaded by default. BlackJack, roulette and a couple of slot machines.
Disadvantages - necessity of their uploading, big size of a full set of a casino games, necessity of constant uploading of updatings.
Advantages - are not present necessity to download favourite game everytime , an opportunity to play offline on virtual money (Playtech,Bossmedia), convenience of using bank, account, help files as it is not necessary for each action to come into a browser.
-Not downloadable Internet casino - usually made with use of Java or Flash technologies . In many popular Internet casino not downloadable versions supplement the basic version of a game software. For game it is necessary to register casino account on a site , then to enter into it in a window of a browser, or on the site, or in specially opened new window with the flash-version of a casino lobby, where you can make the deposit, remove money and choose games.
Disadvantages - each time to play though in one game, it will be necessary for you to download all flash or java casino lobby, for fulfilment of the deposit you should leave a casino lobby, and to enter separately through a browser in cashier, quality, design and quantity of games in not downloadable versions considerably below, than in downloadable, it is impossible to play offline on interest.
Advantages - at low connection speed it is not necessary to wait long for loading of a file of a casino and loading big quantity of games, speed of yours Internet connection by uploading of additional games in the latent mode does not brake, it is convenient at irregular game in casino, when there is no necessity to hold the version in a computer.
Between flash and java-casino is not a lot of basic distinctions, but by my experience, flash casino much more conveniently and more high-grade than games written on java.
3) Manufacturers of a casino of a software. Now there about ten most popular manufacturers of Internet casino. Only having played in a casino with a software from each manufacturer you can choose, that is pleasant to you. For more detailed information i will write separate post about Manufacturers of Internet casino, where will be briefly described leaders of this branch and the basic features of online casino with their software.
4) Ways of the deposit/cashout money from a casino. For reception of positive experience from game in online casino , perhaps this factor has great value. Before to play a casino on real money you should very closely study section of a casino banking on a site of a concrete casino in which you are going to play. It will relieve you of unnecessary expenditure of time and will save up to you your precious nerves, that finally will necessarily affect and on your good.
5) Casino bonuses. For the beginning player I am not advise to choose Internet casino on the size of a free-of-charge bonus. But if you have decided to play on real money, and besides wish to receive a bonus on the deposit, or simply wish to try a casino without a depositary bonus very attentively, veeery attentively, read conditions and restrictions for each casino, for each bonus. In most cases, casino demand from the player of fulfilment of the certain quantity of rates (wager) before it will be possible to remove received bonus and deposit. That for you was not unpleasant news that after reception of a bonus you cannot take away the deposit though already for a long time has played in this casino, closely read conditions of each casino bonus.

If some terms are not clear to you (such as wager, deposit, banking, bonus, cashier) look this post.
