Online Casino Security | Are Online Casino Games Fair?
Posted by: admin : Category: CasinoBain™ NewsFair Games & The House Edge
Every game in a “Land” casino (or a “B&M” - Bricks And Mortar - casino) has a “house edge”, which is a tilt of the odds in the casino’s favour. In the case of online casinos, because overheads are generally lower, you are more likely to find better odds for the punter in many online casino games compared to their B&M counterparts.
For example, a slot in a B&M casino in Vegas may have it’s payout set to 85%, where you are more likely to find in an online casino that it is between 90% and 95%. This will vary between online casinos.
Most Online Casinos of good repute will be using software provided by a dedicated software vendor, of which there are several high profile companies with sterling reputations. In these days of big business, the top companies are straight-up when it comes to dealing a fair game, and subsequently their software is probably used by about 90% of all online casinos. The names to look for are: Microgaming (arguably the top software provider), Cryptologic (or their casino brand Wagerlogic), Playtech, Realtime Gaming (”RTG“), Chartwell, Wagerworks and Boss Media. If you are playing a casino using any of the above software to provide the games, you are working with a good quality and fair RNG. Any stories you read of the odds being “fixed” or the RNG being “rigged” are more likely a result of a punter having an “off day”, or perhaps unhappy with the customer service.
“There was a high profile instance of a casino called English Harbour, where a punter had a gut feeling that when you chose to Gamble a win in a Double-Or-Nothing scenario, the software was not using a 50/50 math sum to determine the outcome. After a few other punters via the forums became involved, his initial suspicions were proved correct, with more like a 33% chance of winning. The casino (eventually) admitted there had been a mistake, putting it down to the wrong piece of code being loaded. Everyone has their own opinion…until this point it is fair to say that the casino operator, and the software provider (”OddsOn“) did have a good record, but still…it ain’t good, even if it was an honest mistake.”
Be sure you are playing a good online casino, by which I mean one that uses one of the main software platforms to serve the games up.
