So, what is your favorite gaming software? Please let me know your top three choices, (select them), and let me know why by posting your response.

For instance, my favorite is Microgaming - mainly because of the integrity of the games, its software (awesome slots, best VP software, progressive jackpots, wide game selection). And their history of fairness. The other two - hard to say, but probably Netent and a tie between WMS and Nextgen. :D

So what are yours? If you don't see it listed, please post. :thumbsup:
 
Find online casinos with BTG slots
Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
I'd say Microgaming for their huge selection of quality premium titles. Even their clones have great production values. Gameplay is generally consistent and not too rigged overall :eek:

There's a huge array of variance to choose from, so it caters to every type of player :thumbsup:

Netent is a close second, their 2010- 2014 games were probably the best out there amongst all providers. Great graphics, fair & lowroller- friendly gameplay and some notable cult classics like the infamous DOA.

The last two/three years have been a tad ropey, and the games all seem to have brutal 'Netent Variance' as default settings, ie the inability to ever truly get ahead of your bankroll.

A guilty pleasure of mine is Playtech - some amazing, fun games marred only by their being tied to ludicrous jackpots and subsequent low RTP, so not good for lowrollers at all. Their Marvel games were a blast, and the likes of Marilyn Monroe/ Great Blue etc could provide some astounding wins. Design was top-notch too and a close third behind the big two :thumbsup:

Play'N'Go, NetEnt and Microgaming - VIPER ONLY!

I never play MG games in "flash" and I am dreading the day when all MG downloadable casinos are made obsolete - I may well never play their games again. :(

I agree 100%. I am hoping that MGS never lets the viper software fade away. The video poker has no comparison, and it's what I play primarily.
 
My choices are based on being a low roller and a not very frequent depositer anymore.

BTG, because I love bonanza and not really had a bad run on it except for the first time I ever played it, can make your money last a quite a long time. I have had over 4 hours on a tenner before.

Blueprint, because I like the newer titles they are bringing out and the chances of the little random bonuses, although the Blueprint slots can be very frustrating.

Play n Go, because as the same of my first choice, some of the slots can make your money last a while and chance of a big win on some of them.

Proper gone off MGS and WMS lately although I do still have the odd dabble on some of them.
Net Ent, I have to be in the mood.

But for me being a low roller and low depositer, I have to think of the playtime I can get instead of busting in 10 minutes, which still can happen of course.

Think I have been put off SG Gaming for life after that Piggy crap they have brought on on the T777 cabs in the arcades.
Even though WMS are now classed as SG, I still class WMS as being as their own.
 
Novomatic - Awesome bonus rounds and win potential
Merkur - A new even more brutal range of high variance slots that i can now play :D
Nextgen - the range which has produced my biggest cash win ever on Medusa II, plenty of other good underplayed slots in this range too:)
 
Red Tiger Gaming should be on the list too.

Still voted for BTG, MG and NE as they have the best variety.

Can't play Novomatic, Merkur, WMS and Yggdrasil, hence, couldn't vote them.

I quite like the newcomer Foxium, they are available at a few casinos incl. VS, LeoVegas.

It's a tie for third between MG and Novomatic, but #1 and #2 is Merkur and Big Time Gaming.

They're both responsible for my biggest wins, and with Merkur I love the quick game play of their HTML5 slots, Older Flash ones with no space bar control is a bit iffy but hey, good games regardless.
Big Time Gamings latest releases are just great. I've never actually hit big on Danger: High voltage but the gameplay is fun so I keep trying. As for Bonanza, well, I had to make a CM account just because of Bonanza. And I love the music. Only wish I could turn it on in bonus games exclusively.

Edit: a word
 
After all these years of playing and there is still Software I haven't even tried :eek2:
Us women tends to stick with our favourit slots, and not much can change that.

For me it has to be Novomatic, MG and Netent.
I wish I could have chosen at least 5 because I play WMS and BTG just as much, but fewer games with them.

Isn't WMS part of SG Interactive now?
Also I think we should add softwares like Quickspin, Thunderkick, Elk and Pragmatic.
Click to expand...

They have been part of SG for "donkeys" :D

I agree with Elk Studios needing to be part of the list, Pragmatic maybe too, but QS and T have too many nonsense-drivel slots that pay so little on wins that it is a surprise when i get past 10x bet.

But especially Elk with Sam on the Beach, Hong Kong Tower etc. is producing real high quality mobile slots with good win potential.
 
I put Netent but honestly I don't have a favorite software anymore. My Fav slots are Thunderstruck II from Microgaming and Dead or Alive from Netent. The only reason why I put Netent over the other softwares in the poll is that their slots are interesting.


Edit: I do like Pragmatic slots but only a few casinos have them. Now those slots are fun!
 
1. Microgaming. Reasons why....

- What Bryan and KK said about the Viper Client. Yes it is gathering an ever-increasing list of shortcomings as technology continue to make its advances, but as long as Viper client exits, I will play MG games more than any other software.
- What Bryan said about their VP catalogue. No one else comes close. No one is even on the same planet, VP-wise.
- They created The Dark Knight (god I miss that game so much) and Lord Of The Rings (a game I never had the pleasure of playing). Two of the all-time greats as far as I'm concerned. And they were part of...
- The "golden era" (well to me anyway) of MG 243 ways. TS2, IR, TDK, LOTR, Playboy, Finer Reels, Santa's Wild Ride, Girls With Guns 1 and 2, Avalon 2, Jurassic Park and yes, even BSG and its subpar paytable. I play these games more often than anything else out there and I don't see that changing.
- The classic 9-lines, like Agent Jane Blonde, Thunderstruck and co. Agent Jane will always remain a favourite of mine.

Forget the fact that MG have "not done much lately". And what they have done (in the last 3 years) would suggest that they have regressed into a nothing more than a rampant slot cloner. But some of their games (like those in the 243 ways era) are games to be proud of. I prefer to judge them on the amount of quality games they used to produce, rather than the cloned crap they produce now. Prior to Autumn 2014, they had a long history of excellence.

So for the overall body of work up to Autumn 2014, Microgaming is still number 1 for me. And it probably always will be.

2. Netent. Reasons why....

- Jungle Spirit
- DOA, even the watered-down HTML5 version.
- the Universal series (particularly the Turd and Invisible Man).
- the production values (sounds, music, graphics, all-round aesthetics). More often than not, they produce games that would score good style points, even if the substance is lacking. But seriously Netent, ditch the dreadful ELC-type * slots already.
- good catalogue of games

* ELC = Early Learning Centre

3. This is where I'm having trouble deciding. I'll say Novomatic, narrowly ahead of NextGen. I've done considerably better on NextGen games,
but I have to admit that Novomatic probably have a greater range of games that appeal to me. I just haven't landed any of those really crazy multiple re-triggers that you can get on Novo slots. If I had done, they might well be my Number 1.

As for the rest (the ones that I know I have tried)....well I would probably rank them

5. BTG, despite the punishment I have taken on them.

6. WMS, only because of the immense pulling power of the Rhino. Take that orange bastid away and I probably put WMS near the bottom.

7. Blueprint - I haven't given Blueprint much of my playtime or a fair chance. But I must admit I like Imperial Dragon, Count Duckula and Wish Upon A Jackpot.

8 - Yggdrasil. Some of their slots look awesome (high on style points), but the paytables are just so ugh (low on substance points).
Golden Fishtank is a superb game though and I also like Vikings Go Wild.

9. Playtech. Would probably be somewhere between 3 and 6 if the Marvel slots still existed. But all I have left now is Buffalo Blitz, Great Blue and Penguin Vacation.

10. ITG. Cleopatra Plus alone makes me prefer them to....

11. Play N' Go. Book of Dead made me hate them with a passion and boycott them for 5 months.

12. Quickspin...I'd only play these games on 10p a spin and out of sheer boredom or because I was given free spins on them. Playing these games on a regular basis would make me quit slots altogether or make me go on life tilt. No thank you.

Never played the rest, but I am going to give Merkur a try in the future for sure. I can see why people like them.
 
1) WMS (even if I shouldn't play it in my country - online), but someway I can manage to have some fun with the "orange thing" :rolleyes:
However, the choice of different games with different variances amuses me.

2) MG - mainly bevause of Videopoker, where poker is CARDS and it's not a slot machine.
Furthermore, I can have some fun with the old slots

3) NetEnt - Still I think that DoA is the game where I did the most relevant number of spins of my gambling carreer.
Some other "old" games still are ok for my playtime.

Done. I've also combined WMS and SGI.


It's "donkey years." :p

It's 'donkey's years' in regards to the phrase :eek: I'm sure poor old Harry knew that when stating it, just like someone might say it was the "dog's", ie one assumes everyone knows the second half being "bollocks" without having to say it ("the dog's bollocks":D)

I hope that clears that one up. We can't afford another scandal....the world doesn't need 'Donkeygate' :cool::cool:
 
Real Time Gaming is the only software that matters for Yaniks like me...

I'm in the USA and the only place I can play these days is at RTG casinos -- many won't take US players, but a number still do.

I also continue to play at 3Dice. I know they got bad press from Casinomeister but I've been there for a few years now. I have always received fair treatment from them, and BOTTOM LINE for me, they have always made pay outs on withdrawals. What else really matters?
 
Thunderkick - Love these guys. Original games. Definitely outside the box game design. Very smooth animations.

Microgaming - As a Canadian, most casinos throw them in your face with little else choice. That said, I've had most of my biggest wins on these slots. A vast majority of their games are showing their age though and I think they'll only be able to survive off of nostalgic wins for so long before the new providers take all their attention away. IR, JP, Rabbit in the Hat, T2, Ariana, TS2 and Finer reels are my go to favorites.

Quickspin - Ya Ya Ya I know.... Everyone hates these slots. I'm a sadist I guess and I'm a sucker for smooth animation and polish on my games.
I've had some very decent wins and some heavy losses, but overall enjoy their games. Phoenix Sun is pretty awesome and can hit pretty big. Also love Big Bad Wolf.

Runner up to Elk Studios and Pragmatic Play. Both providers have some polished games with smooth animation and fun. Looking forward to their new games.

What I hate: stuttering, or low fps, janky animation, and low resolution assets. Nothing will make me close a game faster.
 
For us Yanks, RTG is the only real option anymore...

I'm a USA player and for the most part the only places left are the RTG casinos that take American sign-ups. Many don't but a number still do -- I know this is not promoted on Casinomeister, but there are still quite a few options including Club World, iNetBet, Casino Extreme, Bovada and others.

I also continue to play at 3Dice, despite the negative press here. I don't have "insider" knowledge of the operation as Casinomeister might have, but I've been there for a few years and they have treated me fairly. And the bottom line for me will ALWAYS be payouts -- 3Dice has never failed me on withdrawals. What else really matters if your are a serious gambler?
 
That's my personal opinion and comes from someone that's not a producer/developer, so I haven't tried the games from some of the listed companies: NetEnt, Leander Games and Thunderkick, in no particular order.

But it changes quite swiftly :D
 
I voted for:

BTG

Yggdrasil

SG/WMS

Thanks :)
 
It was tough to choose. Microgaming was my third pick, pretty much for their older catalogue and Viper Client. But there are sooo many games I enjoy, and a big part of my gamling dollar goes there.

Elk is number one for me in many ways. Smooth graphics, most are not that highly volatile, so fairly frequent bonus rounds, even if they don't pay the world. I look forward to future efforts.

I picked Play n' Go second, mostly because of a few games that are favourites. But the graphics look dated, even on newer games, and just coming from Play n Go is not enough reason for me to embrace a game.

BTG is exciting, and the variance of some their games is outside my main confort zone, and not that keen on most of their older catalogue. I had to debate for a bit whether to give them 3rd of Microgaming, which is saying something for a smaller provider like a giant like MG. MG won my vote because of more games I truly enjoy.

I do truly like Playtech games... big catalogue, smooth play and graphics, and decent scores on most of them.

3Dice offers some excellent games, and I'm glad some are being licenced further afield.

I admire Yddrassil too, as a software.

With more and more multi-platform casinos, there's plenty of room for some of the smaller producers.

Especially for those of us in markets that restrict some of the "big boys" like NetEnt, WMS, IGT and Novomatic.
 
I voted for MGS and NetEnt, since these providers seem to entertain me the most. Still love classic MGS 9-liners and DOA is the game many love to (and) hate.

My third vote went to IGT. Purely for the reason that IGT machines were the ones I used to play at B&M casinos when I first started gambling. One of my favorites was and still is Cleopatra. I do enjoy IGT slots online too, but more in actual casino floor with a cold beer on my hand.

:cool:
 
Surprised MGS is still so popular...
With their "it takes 1295 spins to get FS and we will pay back 7x stake" slots... :D
At least that is how I have experienced them lately...

My top 3:

1) WMS
2) Novomatic
3) Netent

Simply because I play these most and have the best player experience on them. :)


My top 3 worst would be:

1) Play n Go
2) Thunderkick
3) Nextgen

They never brought me any real luck (few exceptions) and I find them play very very tight.
 
RTG

Im in the USA and after trying lots of RTG slot sights, Slotto Cash and Uptown Aces have been the 2 fairest and best customer sevice ive delt with. Ive cashed out many many times and they still give me ok bonuses and free spins every week
 
I'm in the USA so...

Having my options so limited that I haven't even HEARD of 2/3 of this software excludes me from a vote. What am I supposed to say? Most sites I can play offer RTG and I can't say I have much love for it despite a couple of decent hits through the years. I really enjoyed 3Dices' own software but they're not what they were anymore. I've been mostly playing on a sportsbook and poker room that offers RTG. I'll abstain. Most of it sucks here in the US.

Calvin beware. I had SEVERAL withdrawal issues with Slot O Cash during the few months that I played there. I would never deposit there again. The Club World Group USED TO be the best RTG sites but no longer. I've cut down on my slot play and stuck mostly to poker and sports betting but I highly recommend opening an account on 5Dimes. They have RTG and a couple of others as well as poker and are a top sports betting site too. I have cashed out a good 50 times and never had a problem. Usually 24 hrs til money is in hand. I'm NOT a shill for them but found them and have stuck with them for years now without a problem. Again, CAREFUL with slot o cash. You should be wary.
 
Microgaming
PlayNGo
Quickspin.

And, and, and..............I got to make a nice withdraw today! Doing the happy dance. Sorry for posting that here. Its about freaking time! :D:D:D:D And yes it was @ VS!
 
My top 3 providers are...

Big Time Gaming - I love the high variance games like Danger High Voltage and Bonanza. The gameplay is fun as well

Yggdrasil - The games are different and not all just the same old, same old that we are used to so props to them for that

Microgaming - They are right up there with a great selection of slots from low variance to high and the ones that are made by them themselves are good. The third party ones aren't that great IMO.

My other favourites in no real order...

Thunderkick - Once again, games aren't just a clone / rip off another providers slot. They are all pretty unique and thus are fun. I enjoy Flamebusters for example.

ELK - Same as above... Not many games are a clone and they play well even if I find it hard to win on most of the slots

Netent - Although I can't play them anymore since I am in Canada, they did have fun games that also weren't always a clone of some other providers slot and most of them are fun to play and to win on!

Merkur / Bally Wulf / Gamomat - These games are fun, but tough to win on and thus I enjoy them from time to time

Pragmatic Play - I know it has a bad reputation if you look at the history of the company and the brand, but if you look long enough at any other company in the gambling industry or not, you usually will find something bad and companies do change brand names to avoid the bad reputation on products that failed badly... On to why I like these games however is because the gameplay, graphics, and music is nice. The paytables can be crap on some of them, but games like Jurassic Giants, Queen of Atlantis, and Wolf Gold are great IMO.

I can't believe it's nearly August now.

Anyway, here are my three favorite Online Gaming Software Providers:

1). Real Time Gaming (RTG)

2). Betsoft

3). Microgaming

I also voted on these in the voting poll.

Thank you very much all and have a nice day ahead! :thumbsup:

Yes, of course. Slot O Cash (Deckmedia) are a lovely and professional bunch and I've always been very happy with the way they treat their players and affiliates respectively. :)
