So what are these companies that have set the bar so high for themselves and other industry players? In alphabetical order, CryptoLogic, Microgaming, Netent, Playtech, Realtime Gaming, Rival and Viaden Media. Each of them has its own distinctive style that experienced gamblers can easily recognise; some of them offer games that run right in your browser, some offer downloadable products, some develop both types of gambling software. What they all have in common, is strict adherence to the highest standards.
CryptoLogic is one of the most reputable gambling software providers. The company is famous not only for its wide selection of games, but also because it was one of the pioneering companies in their field. In 1995 the development of secure online financial transaction system was the impetus for the development of the whole online casino industry.
Another industry pioneer is Microgaming, which claims to have released the first online casino in 1994. Today the company provides software for the most respectable casinos worldwide, such as Ladbrokes, 32Red, The Palace group and others. Their games are available in both download and flash versions; all of them are user friendly and sophisticated.
NetEnt is particularly famous for its browser based, no download slots gaming software. Their first casino software package was launched in 2000. In 2005 Net Entertainment shifted focus to flash casino software and thus began a new era of success. The company never stops investing in research to deliver modern and sharp casino games.
Playtech is one of the industry's largest and most famous gaming software suppliers. Their portfolio includes casual and casino games, live gaming, lottery, large poker and bingo networks. They also offer a wide range of services – from marketing to customer service.
Realtime Gaming was established in 1998 in the USA, but in 2007-2008 moved all development to Costa Rica. This company develops downloadable casino software, licensed by various operators running their own branded RTG-powered casino sites. Realtime Gaming was all over the news in 2004 when somebody won $1.3 million playing Caribbean 21 (the deposit was $1,000). RTG accused the player of using a robot and it's still unknown if they ever paid.
Although Rival Gambling has been around for only 5 years, they have become extremely popular for their interactive slots or I-slots. The download versions of their software are also compatible with Mac operating systems. This increases the number of players who can enjoy the quality of their software products.
Viaden Media has more than 10 years experience of providing full-cycle services in the area of gambling software development and delivery. All types of solutions, including simple slots and blackjack as well as multifunctional online poker software are offered to customers worldwide.
