RTG Information Forum

I do appreciate the clarification.
Perhaps what was most confusing was the fact RTG was initially listed as both an ICE exhibitor and ICEi one, and now only as an ICEi participant.

And the "dumbing down" of their corporate website is a separate development....

Thanks again.

Very weird as you said with the "dumbing down" of the website but I don't want to make any assumptions or read to deep into it...yet.

That could be due to the switch to Hastings B.V. as the provider, so I wouldn't read too much into it either. However, I am not condoning RTG for being laxadasial with their updates and/or ability to actually control who they sell their licenses to. It makes them look terrible, and it seems like they just don't care at all.

I don't see RTG on ICEi or ICE.

Bummer. Now it looks like I'll have to hang out at Playtech's booth and drink their beer.

I was going to buy you a beer - or two - until RTG ruined the party for me!

Yes, I guess it's official as a call to the ICE marketing folks confirmed RTG dropped out.

Well, my plans have changed...I'll be in Atlanta in early February where at least it will be warmer (temperature wise for me,,,,,accountability wise for RTG ) than London.

But probably not as much fun....

It looks like you were indeed right DC, as was your source. My apologies for doubting, but if we believed everything we read on a forum.....well, you get the drift.

I had a look at the "new" RTG website - it isn't a website at all, it is an E-mail link and a postal address. This is looking like RTG are in the process of totally distancing themselves from their product, which will be distributed and supported by Hastings BV under licence from RTG. As RTG have now dropped out of ICEi, this makes it complete. It might be worth checking to see if a HASTINGS stand appears at the last minute as a substitute. It would be odd for one provider to be absent, and a lack of representation will send a poor message to the movers and shakers on the other side of the fence to the players, the city folk with millions of dollars looking for casino software. ICEi is primarily for these folk, not the players.
The few reputable RTG operators should come along and see if a change of software provider is possible within their given markets (the US being an issue).
Even with RTG gone, there is still the Neteller rep to confront, so not a total dead loss.

I wouldn't say that RTG has dropped out of the show. They may not be showcasing their wares via a stand, but they'll still be there - I'm sure of it.

Will they be wearing funny glasses and fake noses?

Sorry Bryan, couldn't resist. It IS a little inconceivable (sp?) that one of the biggest software providers around wouldn't have someone at one of the biggest events of the year. Maybe just lying a little lower than usual.
