            Casino software
            You might think each casino uses its own casino software, but 
            this is not the case. In fact the online casino gambling market is 
            controlled by a few big casino software providers. The casino software 
            is customized for each licensee but only at a cosmetic level. The 
            gaming engine is the same for each licensee. Frequently, they even 
            use the same e-cash processor. 
             
The major casino software providers have nothing to gain from online 
            casino gambling operators that put their reputation at risk. If you 
            want to avoid problems, we advice you to stay away from small outfits 
            using proprietary casino software, and to stick to casinos of the 
            major casino software providers. A few of the major casino 
            software providers are discussed below. For each software brand we 
            have provided a link to a page with more information about the software.
