When you sign up to play at an online Bingo, you would like
to be sure the games are being played honestly. Many online Bingo lease or
purchase gambling software from reputable companies to put your mind at ease.
You feel confident the games are honest knowing that the software manufacturer
is the one behind the games and not the Bingo. The reliable software companies
take extraordinary steps to assure that numbers or cards or die turn up
randomly.
The four most popular software manufacturers are playtest, Metro
gaming, Vegas Technology, and Cryptologic. Let's examine each one and sum up
users comments and criticisms.
Playtest was founded in 2000 and went public in 2005. It is
traded on the London Stock Exchange. Playtest panicked when the United States
passed the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act in 2006 and announced they
would no longer accept players who live in the U. S. to avoid possible
lawsuits.
Playtest’s philosophy is to be a broad-based force in the
gambling industry, and they are involved in all aspects of online gaming. While
it may be a strength of their corporate policy, players rank them as good all-around
but not outstanding in any one area. The online gambling community does rank
them high for sharp and clear graphics for blackjack, roulette, and video poker
but calls their spin animations on slot games "phone." Playtest gets
good marks for offering a wide selection of progressive games.
Micro gaming is probably the oldest (established in 1994)
and best known of the software providers of online Bingo software. Their Viper
software product (released in 2002) became the standard of excellence against
which others are measured. Players and Bingo owners rave about its features.
The large selection of games, superb graphics and sound attract players to Bingo
offering Micro gaming, and the company updates their products frequently.
Vegas Technology offers both a download and instant play
version. You can play the latter directly from your Internet browser. If you
decide on the download version, download time is short - just a few minutes.
Either option will be easy to use and offer the same games. Vegas Technology Bingo
typically offer many tournaments with small buy-ins (as low as $10) tournaments
with a chance to win $5,000 or more. Tournaments are available for popular Bingo
games such as slots and blackjack. Players also like the way Vegas Technology
constantly develops new games to play so gamblers don't get bored.
Cryptologic, founded in 1996, originally produced software
for the encrypting field but moved into the online gaming area where they felt
they could make an impact. This company is also publicly listed. Their software
collection consists of over 100 Bingo games, and they have partnered with
Marvel comics producing games such as Spiderman, and The Incredible Hulk. They
tend to be the innovator when it comes to games and features for online gaming.
Users like the variety of games they offer, the frequency of updates and rate
their graphics, sound, and animation as excellent on the download version.
The above information on software manufacturers may change
frequently and you should check with your Bingo for the latest data on the
software it uses.
Note: As of February. 2009, Bingo using Micro gaming, playtest,
and Cryptologic will not accept players from the United States. Don't worry,
plenty of other Bingo will?
