VEGAS TECHNOLOGY

 

Vegas Technology has developed gaming technology and software for online casinos since 1998. This company holds corporate offices in Toronto Ontario and maintains casino licenses in both Antigua and Barbuda. Initially, Vegas Technology was named OddsOn. That company was founded in 1996 and offered e-commerce sites secure means for accepting payments and transferring money over the Internet. Eventually, OddsOn recognized the niche that was available in online gaming. The company armed itself with a number of Java-based casino games and began promoting its software. In 2003, OddsOn merged with English Harbour Gaming Ventures. From this partnership was born Vegas Technology. Now, the games of this software manufacturer are programmed in C++.

To maintain standards of play, Vegas Technology's software is audited monthly by Certified Fair Gaming. As a measure of integrity, logs from each major game are analyzed by the firm to ensure results are random and honesty is prevalent within the casinos. Detailed payout reports also are prepared for several games, including Baccarat, Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, Pai Gow, Keno, and Stud Poker. Results from these analyses are normally posted on casinos' websites for players to view. In addition, players can also access histories of their own gaming and financial transactions via secure server access.

Today, Vegas Technology powers more than 100 casinos. Many of these are included within online casino groups, as evidenced by English Harbour Group and Golden Casino Group, both of whom exclusively use software from Vegas Technology. These groups have turned their focus to players from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. However, Vegas Technology welcomes players from around the world.

Of the many casinos that utilize software produced by Vegas Technology, four of them are particularly noteworthy because of their preference among players. Millionaire Casino, Online Vegas Casino, VIP Slots Casino, and GoCasino are considered to be among the best gaming sites as powered by Vegas Technology. Each is well-known for their bonuses provided to first-time users, provision of multiple casino games, and 3D graphics.

 

Games

 

More than 100 online casino games comprise the total portfolio of Vegas Technology. Included among these are over eighty slot machines, five of which are progressive slots, and fifteen video poker games. Vegas Technology also reportedly releases a new slot game at periodic times throughout the year.

Video slots provide players with multipliers, wild symbols, scatters, and bonus rounds. Slot games offered by the Vegas Technology suite are designed to cater to various levels of skill among players. This ensures they appeal not only to beginner players, but to practiced gamers as well.

Vegas Technology's slots also offer multi-line payouts. Five networked progressive jackpots typically provide payouts in excess of one million dollars. Players revel in three-reel, five-reel, and 7-reel slots and games like Triple Gold, Triple Rainbow 7's, and Triple Triple Gold. These innovative game designs earned Vegas Technology the Top Casino Software award in 2005 from Gambling Online Magazine. This honor came in the company's first year of operating under its new name.

Together with famous games like Blackjack, Craps, Let it Ride, Keno Roulette, Stud Poker, Baccarat, and Three Card Poker, Vegas Technology also specializes in online tournaments. The tournament-style gaming is an attractive feature of Vegas Technology and offers players with a busy schedule. For example, competitions are held at multiple times throughout the day. Moreover, players can readily view their standings within any tournament.

The slot tournaments provided by Vegas Technology are similar in nature to poker tournaments; they have a buy-in amount and a guaranteed prize pool. The buy-in amounts for slot tournaments with Vegas Technology range from no money to $20. These tournaments have benefited from growing popularity because customers enjoy going head-to-head with other players as well as playing for a specified amount of money.

Blackjack, Hold'em Poker, and video poker also can be enjoyed in tournament style. Vegas Technology awards payouts of thousands of dollars each month from these tournaments. In addition, many of these games offer guaranteed prizes in conjunction with several free roll tournaments to teach new players effective strategies.

Vegas Technology software is available to players in download and Flash platforms. This enables both Mac and PC users to enjoy casinos powered by Vegas Technology. The auto play feature of this software enables players to leave their computers while the casino system plays for them. Players can also opt to play with or without actual money.

 

Back Office Features

 

Vegas Technology provides management assistance to its online casino operators. With this, operators can readily access data that pertains to the number of players signed in at any given time, payout totals, account balances, and so on. This system also can be used to monitor the casino's profit and loss margin. Market changes are an additional source of information that casino operators can utilize to develop promotional strategies and casino improvements.

 

Unique Features

 

Vegas Technology is widely acknowledged as the first company to include slot tournaments to its portfolio of casino games. Today, many software manufacturers have followed suit. However, Vegas Technology still reportedly offers the greatest number of slot tournaments running on any day.

The Help function featured on Vegas Technology software provides players with detailed information regarding games. Unique to this element, however, is that players are able to print sections from the Help menu. This allows them to continue playing their game, even in the wake of questions, without interruption.

Unlike some of its software manufacturing colleagues, Vegas Technology provides its gaming software in English only. This is in direct contrast to those software manufacturers who supply their casino software in multiple languages to encourage global play. However, Vegas Technology is one of the few gaming companies to still accept players from the United States. Vegas Technology has actually altered its system so American players can utilize their credit cards for casino account transactions. This follows other key software manufacturers who prohibited the United States from play on their software platforms.
