Similarities in Online Casinos With the Same Software Provider
Software providers not only create and provide the slot games to online Casinos, they maintain much of the daily operations underlying the casino “SKINS”. Software providers are an integral every day operating mechanism of the partner casinos. This includes money transactions methods, communication systems, player-casino interface operations and in some cases political positioning. For example if one casino in the NetEnt Flash Casino software providers partner casinos can handle Mac browser (no download casino slot games) systems they all will be able to in a similar fashion. Other examples are leaderboards for online slot tournaments. All the leader boards will function very similarly.
The Progressive Jackpots are another very important aspect of exciting Slot Gaming. It is the Software Provider that handles and accumulates a small portion of every spin from every participating casino using their software. They places this money in an accumulative account and payout the progressive jackpot winner when it is hit. At that point ALL the participating partner casinos start over again with a new amount. So you see all casinos will have similar systems in different clothing. But this is not the entire story by no means. There is always good reason why you might want to be in another casino of the same software partner.
Casino policies can differ quite a bit. The attitude of the particular online casinos comes through when you ask for support, for example. Even though the communication system will be similar with Live Chat, you will find different attentiveness levels between the casinos. In fact I know casinos that have eliminated the Live Chat option even though the software provider could have given them the option of the service. Attitude is one of our big reasons to avoid or be loyal to a casino.
Other differences is coin value. Casinos can have different coin values on the same game. A case in point would be Cherry Casino. You can place 100? per spin in all the NetEnt flash casinos, except Cherry Casino. She has Funky 70’s and Super 80’s with a 200$ max bet value. (1$ x 40lines x 5bet levels=200$) Cherry has a max coin value higher than all the other flash casinos, at 1.00$. So hats off to the Cherry and the High Rollers. She is part of 3 casinos owned by the Betsson Malts Lmt. along with CasinoEuro and Betsson.
It is the promotional job of the different casinos to organize the popular tournaments throughout the gaming season. You will find totally different tournaments and promotional offers in all the casinos with the same software provider. This is true for even the casinos that have the same owners. Promotions and tournaments are an integral part of the status of any casino. Many times newer casinos will have better FIRST TIME DEPOSIT BONUSES to build a clientele base. And on the opposite hand many of the more established casinos have a better tournament schedule and lower Welcome bonuses. The better established Casinos tend to have better incentives to loyal customers than they do for attracting new clients.
So we see that software providers are the structure and casinos are the skin. Yet the casino (the skin) is as important as the quality of the game. What would an online casino experience be like if the game was great but when a problem arose we felt neglected? We would not be left smiling.
