Realtime Gaming Online Casino Software

RealTime Gaming was founded in 1998. It is one of the four large online casino software developers. RTG software powers dozens of online casinos worldwide.

RealTime Gaming is licensed in the Netherlands Antilles Curacao, though it has offices in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Realtime Gaming was licensed out of Panama and today have branch offices in Singapore. This is smart business, since the Asian gambling market is exploding in popularity.

Taking Gaming Seriously

Realtime Gaming's slogan is "taking gaming seriously". Their mission statement is to build games with a working combination of playability and realism. They want games which simulate the look and feel of a live casino, which is why they originally called themselves "Realtime".

The speed and efficiency of their software is important to Realtime Gaming. RTG boasts that its blackjack tables play 7 hands a minute, which is the fastest on the internet.

When they speak of realism, that isn't just a sales point. RTG even uses a physics algorithm in its craps dice. This is meant to make the dice roll they way they would in a live casino. Of course, they have some of the best chats options, so players can enjoy a conversation with the players at their table.

Big companies like Bodog and BetOnSports are powered by Realtime Gaming software. If you've ever used either of these online sports betting sites, you've used the Realtime software. Bodog since has expanded into poker and online casino, all of which is powered by Realtime.

Other online casinos powered by RTG software include Windows Casino, SlotsPlus, Vegas Casino Online, Las Vegas USA Casino, Vegas Lucky, Grand Aces Casino, Play United Casino, Sun Palace Casino, King Solomons and Geisha Lounge.

Games Offered

Realtime offers progressive slot machines like Card Shark, It's Good To Be Bad, Mid-Life Crisis and Light Speed. It's Good To Be Bad is one of my favorites, because it pays off for losing hands. If you hit too many clunkers in a row, you win bonus prizes. In fact, the progressive is based on the same concept.

The company also offers standard slots, mini games, video poker and real-series video slots.

If you prefer table games, RealTime has a full selection of casino table games. These include Texas Holdem, Craps, Blackjack, both American and European roulette and Baccarat. If you prefer newer cutting edge games, Realtime offers Caribbean Stud, Caribbean 21, Matchplay 21, Face Up 21, Let Em Ride, Red Dog and Pontoon.

RealTime Gaming Innovations

Online casino software companies often boast of their innovations, but don't always spell out what those innovations are. In the case of RTG, you can point to several real innovations. RealTime was the first to introduce multi-player online poker. RTG also pioneered the science of similarly integrated online bingo halls. It also proved one of the first to introduce system-wide progressive jackpots to their online clients.

The UIGEA

After the passage of the Safe Port Act by the U.S. Congress, the online software companies had to decide whether they would take American players anymore. While CryptoLogic and Playtech stopped taking U.S. players, Realtime decided they would leave this option up to the individual casino.

Realtime has this option because it isn't publicly traded. This means that casino operators using Realtime have more options. It also means that you will find more American players at Realtime sites. .
