Different Software That Online Casinos Use

Jun.07, 2010 in Fun Stuff

In this article I am going to be speaking about the roulette software that different online casinos have to offer. The majority of the time spent playing in an online casino is done so against some sort of software program.

You can play against a real roulette wheel at as selection of casinos, this is possible via a webcam, but the software type is definitely more popular. I think that my favourite one has to be the one offered by Playtech.

They’ve been in the business since 1999 and have gone from strength to strength. The graphics are amazing in Playtech roulette, way better than any of their competitors.

You are also provided with a free spin, allowing you to spin the wheel without having to bet. Many casinos have rules that make you place a bet each time you spin.

Also very good is a provider called Microgaming. They have been around practically since the birth of the online casino industry and they provide software for some of the most well known casinos such as Ladbrokes and 32Red Casino.

Most Micorgaming casinos offer a multitude of different roulette games with different graphics. Some of the types of games are two different versions of French and European roulette – Gold and Standard.

I would definitely recommend choosing the gold game, the graphics are so much better quality. Another bonus is the fact that you can get a free spin option with the gold, but not with the standard version.

One of the biggest players in the USA market is Real Time Gaming. Since 2006 when the online gambling laws were imposed in the USA many of the big players such as Playtech and Microgaming have pulled out of the USA market.

This has seen a huge gap in the market appear and Real Time Gaming has stepped in. It is actually very similar to Microgaming in the looks department. The most noticeable difference is the lack of free spin and less game variations.

To conclude I believe that if you live outside the USA then you will have the best time playing roulette online in a Playtech or Microgaming casino. If you do live in America though then visit a Real Time Gaming Casino, your online roulette experience will be the most enjoyable at one of these.
