Of course, since quite a few online casinos will purchase a licensee for the use of the software from the same developer, casinos using the platform will have generally very similar games, although some of them could be customized to the specific casino. The progressive jackpots will also be interlinked between the online casinos using the same software. This is why once people find an online casino where they like the game play they tend to stick with that software developer platform and when they look for a new casino (maybe they want to get a big bonus or play games that are a bit different by with the same game-play style).

 Currently for U.S. players there are three big software platforms and a few niche ones. We will not look at the smaller ones since they are not as popular (and proven to work) as the big companies. Back in the days Microgaming and PlayTech casinos were two of the top leaders, but since the two decided to exit the United States online gambling market a few years ago, they are far from the glory they once had. At this time the biggest internet gambling software developers are: RealTime Gaming (RTG), Vegas Technologies and RIVAL Gaming. Over 90% of the US players gamble at online casino powered by one of the three. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, which we will look at individually and in more depth in a series of upcoming articles on the subject. For now to find online casinos accepting US players from any of the three software platforms, simply visit our home page and see which online casino is powered by which software.
