What Goes on Online Casino Platforms?

December 26th, 2008

Common casino platforms are Cryptologic, Microgaming, Playtech, RTG and Wagerworks.
Each software platform has its own array of games, and while they have common games such as Blackjack, Slots, Video Poker and Keno, to name but a very small number, on pretty much all the software, there are differences in how they are delivered and played. Plus of course the odds vary considerably and they might give you your favorite game with the best odds.

Each has different interface based on its software. There are differences in the interface between the “download” versions and the “no download” (flash or java) versions. Invariably the download versions contain a load more games. The commonality is that the common online casino games are usually available in both formats, but variants and niche games, or larger arrays of slot games for example, are usually to be found in the download versions. Additionally, the download versions usually contain more functionality.

Almost without exception, you can sign up to any casino and play in “Fun Mode” (“Play for Fun”) before you sign up for real. This is normally a straightforward process that doesn’t usually require the input of any personal information aside from your name and email address, and perhaps a few optional items. It’s a great way to try the games out and again can be utilized in both download and no-download variants of each casino.
