My name is Richard Lunceford, and I am a product manager here at Betsoft Gaming.
First, I would like to confirm that Betsoft Gaming is not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with Sheriff Gaming. We are two completely separate entities. Betsoft Gaming was incorporated in 2005 and is widely regarded as the innovator and leader in cinematic 3D Gaming, being the first to the market with its amazing Slots3 brand since 2008. Betsoft has over 70 licensees and a firmly established reputation for top quality, entertaining games of the highest caliber.
In regards to the game Rook's Revenge, I would like to point out that Rook's Revenge is in fact the 3rd release in our well-loved "Aztec" series. The first Aztec game was released back in 2006, under the title "Aztec Treasure". It was a 3 reel "hold" style slot, that featured the Aztec chief Rook. Feel free to try out a demo of it here at:
2 years later we made a traditional 5 reel slot with the same character, and added a few more characters and features to the game as it became a part of our flagship Slots3 family of 3D Slots. We released it under the title "Aztec Treasures" and re branded the original 3 x 3 Hold style game to "Aztec Treasure 3x3". Aztec Treasures is still featured in our Slots3 Library, and a demo of it can be seen here:

That brings us to Rook's Revenge which is a 5 reel cascading style slot machine. We had been planning for many months to create a new installment of the Aztec Series, and when one of our Operators made a request for "a Cascading Reel style game with the unique 3D style Betsoft is renowned for", to quote the operator, and as a result it was an obvious choice to combine the two. The result is one of our most visually appealing games for 2012, and it has proven to be very popular with players and operators alike. You can check out a demo of Rook's Revenge here at:

As you can see from the screenshots of each game, the character and artistic style has been consistent since it was first created 6 years ago
And finally, with regards to the RTP for our games, Betsoft's games are all developed, tested, and certified by TST Global to be no lower than 93% RTP, with many of our Slots3 products certified as complying with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission's requirements. Some of our games, such as Slots Angels, one of our breakout hits of 2012, and A Night In Paris, one of our leading titles from 2011, both of which have an RTP of 97% with very high payouts due to the way the features work. I have personally witnessed players walking away with 5k-10k coin wins on a single pull, multiple times in a single sitting.
We strongly believe that any RTP below 93% is simply not palatable to players and as such we try to strike a delicate balance to satisfy the wants of the players with the needs of their operators. In my opinion, I think Betsoft achieves that.
