Microgaming Software Review

Microgaming is one of the pioneers of our industry. In 1994 they developed the first online casino software Ravel. In 1997 Microgaming was a founding member of the Interactive Gaming Council and launched downloadable games as Fantastic Sevens Slot, Blackjack, Roulette, Cyber Stud Poker and Crabs and Video Poker Jack or Better. A year later the first online progressive Jackpot Cash Splash was born. Players’ features as CashCheck and PlayCheck were added in the next two years. 2002 a world record breaking $1,500,000 Jackpot was won at Major Million. Until now the gaming platform has been constantly improved and made user-friendlier. New games are added monthly and Microgaming online casinos are able to offer an astounding 400 casino games. Just a few days ago, Mega Moolah Jackpot hit the $6,000,000 mark, another online casino record.

Roger Raatgever, CEO, started this company and has driven it ever since. He is an absolute gambling enthusiast and will keep on changing the face of online gambling in the future.

Unfortunately, Microgaming casinos are not allowed to accept customers from South Africa at present.

Playtech Software Review

Playtech is one of the biggest and best software providers for online casinos. You won’t be disappointed playing at any Playtech casino. Founded in 1999, this company grew explosively and currently has a Research and Development department with over 100 staff members. Playtech casino lacked a good selection of slots for quite a long time, but last year they have added some brilliant slots to their casino platform. An internationally recognized and accredited software testing company tested and certified Playtech’s Random Number Generator (RNG). This company was not shy to open their trade secret to a third party, simply because they have nothing to hide and the games are fair.

In 2005, Playtech went public and you can follow their share price on the London Stock Exchange. This move increased the credibility even more and raised funds for future grows and further acquisitions.

Our Playtech Casino recommendations for South Africans:

Europa Casino
Vegas Red Casino
Joyland Casino

WagerLogic, a subsidiary of CrypoLogic Limited, is responsible for the gaming side of their business. CryptoLogic is publicly traded in London, New York and Tokyo.

One of the biggest names in the online casino industry, Inter Casino, chose CrypoLogic as a software partner over 10 years ago. An online casino can only stay on top of his game with top gaming software and Inter Casino has proven it for years.

The casino platform offers 200 games in the download and 60 in the flash version. Great features slots and huge progressive slots are one of the trademarks.

There is one thing we can’t really understand about CrypoLogic, after over a decade in gambling business, they haven’t increased the amount of operators running their brand of software. Only a handful of casinos use the the software. One reason might be that WagerLogic and InterCasino have such a tight and profitable business relationship that getting new operators on board is not a priority.

Our CryptoLogic Casino recommendations can only be InterCasino.
