Introduction to
CASINO SOFTWARE
(You can find the right casino for you by selecting the software they use.)

 

Casino Software

The "heart" of any Internet casino is, of course, its software. What many people don't know is that the vast majority of the casinos on the Web use software which has been developed by one of about a dozen companies. Some casinos have developed their own software and we place them in the "proprietary" category, but they are the exception to the rule. Most Internet casinos are "turnkey" operations that use standardized software and, as a consequence, the games they offer are the same, the odds on those games are the same and their bonuses, policies, payout procedures and so forth are the same.

What you will find here is a listing of software companies, including many proprietary developers, for which we have compiled the information we believe will help you. For example, we note the types of credit cards they accept, whether or not you must download the software, what bonuses are typically available, etc. In addition, we have examined the games they offer and calculated the casino's edge on their Blackjack games, Video Poker machines and have noted the rules of play, where appropriate. Also, betting limits are shown and there is, for each software company, a list of the casinos that use that particular brand. As you can imagine, the list of casinos is constantly changing so if you know of one that should be included, please contact us.

There are several ways to use this information:

  • If you have a casino in mind but don't know which software it uses, go to the Casino Software section and if it's listed here, you'll find it.
  • If you don't have any particular casino in mind, but enjoy playing Blackjack, for example, then go to our Casino Top 20 choice listing of casino game.
