If we needed convincing, the continuing problems which Ladbrokes appear to have in their quest to take full advantage of the technical revolution in online casino gambling prove beyond doubt the importance of the casino software. Every business moving to online trading needs good efficient software which is not only attractive to potential customers but is easy to use and provides good financial management of the site. In the case of online casinos the casino software also defines the product which is being offered on the site, in the form of the range of casino games which online gamblers can play. This is why we have seen the growth of specialist online casino software suppliers, without whom most online casinos could not compete. There are currently four big casino software companies, namely Wagerworks, Microgaming, Chartwell and of course Playtech which is probably now the best known casino software company due to their success with William Hill and their current work with Ladbrokes. Playtech also supply the casino software for the Betfred and Bet365 online casino sites and whilst there is no doubt that their range of casino games is excellent there is a tendency for many online casinos to offer almost identical casino games to those of their rivals. There are however smaller online casino software suppliers such as Cayetano used by Paddy Power and Netent which supplies our other Irish online casino, the All Irish casino, both of which do offer original casino games which are not available at other sites. The biggest influence of the casino software suppliers is obviously in the range of casino slots, so if you are looking for something original check out the online casinos using the smaller casino software companies such as Paddy Power, All Irish casino and the 888 casino. They all offer an excellent range of games.
