RoccosCasino.com

[Alexandre]

I’ve discovered RoccosCasino.com (UK focused) 1 month ago while I was digging for SEO optimized casino websites.
In the beginning I thought it was a copy of the 888 software but after looking for the company who was behind the website, I’ve found it was owned by Intersafe Global a sister company of Cassava Enterprises, the legal name of 888.
But the most interesting thing is that website and software are the first to be fully developped under Microsfot .Net language.
I was wondering when we were going to see this because it’s obvious that in the future (I won’t list the reasons here), most of the casino sofwtares are going to be developped this way.
The website URL extension are .aspx and you need to install the .Net framework to use the software.
I feel that it’s a kind of experiment from 888 because there are few users who have the the .Net framework instaled on their computer and you need to download a huge file from Microsoft’s website to run the software.
Also the look and feel isn’t as good as the orginal software.
For example, if you look at the slots, you’ll see for 1 second the final results of the spinning wheel at the moment you click on the spin button, before the reels start spinning...not very sexy.
Also if you use a 16/9 screen like on the 17’’ laptop screen, you won’t be able to see the registration form properly in the software window.
It looks very buggy but I’m impressed by this moove and by the SEO work done on this website....I wouldn’t have done better myself and I’m sure we will see soon RoccosCasino.com on competitive querries in Google.
On the other side, the name of the casino surprises me...all the people I've talked with about it told me the same thing: "It makes me think about Rocco Sifredi, the famous italian male pornstar". Not very glamour.
Does anyone know something about this ?

The site of this casino looks like Bodog, especially colors and page layout.

Interesting post, Alexandre.

I think your comment about more widespread use of Microsoft.net language may be borne out by a recent report on the new Betfair development centre in Roumania, which noted that Microsoft.net was among the languages they were using to develop a new sportsbetting platform and improvements to existing products like poker.

I'm not too sure what this .net stuff is. It is an option that does not come with Windows, but I have found a few things that require it & have put it on my new PC - the first time it crashed!!!! Incompatable with Windows - WTF Bill
I tried again because I wanted to install digital rights management & "4od", which offers a selection of UK's Channel 4 programming, including for free the last 7 days or so of selected broadcast programs.
It is also required by the Grand Privvy companion (although not any more)


It's a big file, but with broadband and a decent PC it should be worth the effort for the future. It seems better to install it first, rather than let software try and pre-install it on finding it not present (this might be why I had the original crash). Once installed, Windows update will take care of managing fixes and upgrades.

I played this casino a while back. Its quite clearly rigged. I played I think 30 games, and lost about 25 of them. I then played some more, and it continued like that

You can try it in the play gaming, and it seems to have the same rigged outcone

It would definatly be interesting to hear from others, but this sftware seems unfair

Not at all!

They have nothing to do with 888, and there software is a clone of 888, but obviously the RNG will be different.

The software is their own, and once you play there, you will see what I mean

What makes you think the software is a clone ?
As I wrote in my first post, I've found out that RoccosCasino.com is "owned by Intersafe Global a sister company of Cassava Enterprises, the legal name of 888".
Maybe you have other information you would like to share with us but you just forgot to ?
On the other hand, claiming that a software is rigged after 30 games, without giving any further information, is just a poor statement I won't even loose time to comment.

I contacted them, and they told me they are not affiliated in any way to 888, how did you find out that they are?

You are right that I cannot say for difinate that it is rigged. I have played in many casinos, and having tried playing there and other reports that I have heard about them (other layers thinking its an unfair game), the games on BJ seems rather unfair.

It was actually 39 games, and I won 5 of them, I may have played a couple of games wrong, due to software problems, (ie you click a button, software doesnt respond, then you find out that the software has responded, so i thought i pressed deal, bothing happened, i clicked agin the cards game, and it hit for me)

I have the logs, and, which i can put up if required. The games dont even play and pay correctly

I cant say for definate thats why I ended I would like to hear from anyone else
