Real Time Gaming Casinos

Realtime Gaming was first established in 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. They eventually moved their operations to Costa Rica and then to Curacao, where their offices are today. This is after the company was purchased in 2007 by Hastings International, a holdings company based out of Curacao. Their current online gambling license is based out of Curacao, one of the premier jurisdictions in the industry, and they have a good reputation for fairness with no history of scandals or other "funny business" in their past, unlike a lot of their US-friendly competition.

Casino Software Overview

Their software can be played in two main ways. You can play using a downloadable software package that works primarily on Windows-based PCs, or you can go with an instant play/no download option that works in your browser. The instant play option can also support Linux, Mac and other operating systems, as long as you have an updated browser and an Internet connection. This adds a level of flexibility that gives players multiple options to connect from different kinds of computers and operating systems. While the downloadable option has slightly better graphics, it's hard to even notice unless you do a side-by-side comparison.

RTG also has a limited mobile capability based on playing through your mobile browser. While this is very flexible and allows you to connect with Windows mobile, iOS, Blackberry or Android, it's also dependent a bit on the screen size of your device if you want to be able to clearly read the text in some of the games.

Online Slot Selection

This software company is known primarily for their online slots. In particular, their Real Series slots get most of the attention. This series is known for small, progressive jackpots that hit at random with no minimum bet size to quality, but they also have a reputation for offering a variety of themes and features. While RTG caught some flack in their earlier years for being a little lazy with the graphical side of their slots, since being purchased by Hastings International in 2007, they have really ramped up their game production qualities, and some of their titles have easily been in the same league as the top providers in the world, which signals a major turn-around.

Table Game Options

Realtime Gaming has a pretty good selection of table games as well. Their roulette, craps, Baccarat and blackjack games have enough depth to be interesting, and the presentation of the tables is solid as well. Their casino poker games cover a little more breadth than a lot of the US-friendly competition, but where they really shine is with their video poker selection. On a global stage, you wouldn't need more than one or two fingers to count the number of software providers who can hang with RTG in terms of the number of video poker titles they have available and the quality of those games.

Other games like keno and scratch cards are also available, though they aren't usually what people think of when you say table games.

Overview

Realtime Gaming is a company that many people wrote off as being largely irrelevant on a global scale until their 2007 purchase and turnaround. Since then, many industry figures have seen their progress as impressive, and even if they don't have the quantity of games as some of the bigger names out there, they definitely have it in the quality department.
