Popular Software Providers for Casinos

Casinos around the world use popular software providers to power their games. This works behind the scenes; most online casinos are powered by a small set of highly professional casino software providers.

Although the interfaces and the branding of the individual games might change from one casino to another, the inherent engines for most of the table games come from this small group of companies.

All of the companies offer and uphold the highest standards with regard to online security and data protection. If you observe any of the names of the providers listed on the casino site you are checking—you will mostly find them at the bottom of your screen—then you are assured that you’re dealing with reputable companies dedicated to a superb user experience.

Each software provider has its own brand or 'stamp' with regard to background, style, and area of expertise. They are also known by the selection of titles that are available.

Real Time Gaming

RTG offers a wealth of gaming options and carries over 100 games. They have a wide range of traditional casino games in their portfolio that suit every taste. The Real Time Gaming casinos are best known for their generous bonus features on many of their games and the fact that they accept USA players.

Microgaming

For many casinos and players, Microgaming comes up top as a highly recommended brand, with many years of creating entertaining games that players enjoy and return to. As a leader in the gaming industry, any casino that offers Microgaming software assures a memorable player experience.

Playtech

Playtech is best known for its live dealer table games. Playtech started business in 1999, but it was only when they introduced live dealer games in 2002—introducing live dealer games for blackjack and roulette—that business really took off.

Playtech Highlights

Playtech is one of the largest gambling software providers and popular with players for:

• Cross Platform Compatibility: This might appear trivial to some; however, it is often a deal-breaker as the multi-device environment becomes the norm. Being able to seamlessly move from one device to another offers friction-free gameplay on the go. Playtech carries this out with ease.
• iPoker network: The iPoker offerings are a huge hit worldwide, providing a complete poker solution that operators can brand themselves. Functionality and interface remain consistent regardless of the operator. Players are pooled for a wider, more interesting pool, allowing play across providers. Tournament prizes are higher.
• Live Casino Games: Playtech cannot claim to be first to offer live solutions, but they have mastered the technology better than most. They provide a broad range including roulette, blackjack, and baccarat—proven popular. These bring a real casino experience with lower house edges, distinct from traditional online gaming.

Cryptologic

Cryptologic is one of the most technologically advanced and innovative software suppliers available. They focus on virtual lobbies simulating Las Vegas-style casinos. They recently obtained the lucrative Marvel license for innovative slots.

BetSoft

BetSoft is the standout provider that bills itself as "the innovator and leader in true cinematic 3D gaming experience." This is a big claim, but one they deliver admirably. Their groundbreaking technology powers some of the most popular slots and table games at online casinos worldwide. Odds-on, if graphics are high-definition and games interactive, it's BetSoft software.

NetEnt

NetEnt has a solid reputation due to relentless focus on quality software, winning leading industry awards. In 2014, they were recognized at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards as:

• Mobile Supplier of the Year.
• RNG Supplier of the Year.
