Hmm that could be a dangerous move. I can understand why a casino would switch from RTG so as not to be bundled in with dodgy operators, but to move to a relatively unknown platform would take a lot of careful planning and marketing IMO.
Interesting if true. And also if true, I wonder what the motivation is?
I really hope this isn’t true. :tooconfus
Hi all,
personally I think that any move away from a publically traded software is bad business.
its too easy to think that a proprietary software would enable a casino to set its own payout ratios …. or set things up however it sees fit. Including an unfair advantage on any/all levels.
if its true ….. its an outrageously bold move IMHO.
Also IMHO what sets apart a casino using software such as MGS to its own …. is that you know MGS isn’t going to allow that casino to set its own rules on payouts etc.
Bodog has a reputation …. not all that sure whether you’d call it good or bad … but I’d say more people think good than bad. That can change quickly …. even if the new software is offering fair-odds games.
By nature … casino games are set up so there are more losers than winners. Let them start bitching about unfair practice and then the reader plays there …. and more than likely loses … well you can fill in the rest but leave it said that its a short leap from losing to thinking the reason you lost is more than just regular casino odds except for those most rational players.
Perhaps they are looking to mitigate the risk of their software provider pulling out of certain markets. By having their own software they can make the decisions themselves and are not subject to the terms of the software provider.
Looks like there are pros and cons to the decision, if it is true.
i wouldnt even think the average player would even know or even look to see what software the casino is using.
i know some will and do look at it, but i bet its a big minority
I agree on the majority part. but I’d be willing to bet also that a large majority of that minority who do check …. are big time players. I know I wouldn’t be betting $1000s a month on a proprietary software.

However i think bodog are a big enough brand name to have the “trust” factor as opposted to a new casino called “goldeneggscasino” or somthing like that. Much like party poker use there own software and i dont think anyone minds that they use there inhouse software.
also its true they are dumping RTG in favour of inhouse software, i dont know who they bought or if it was developed fully inhouse, but ive been told the new software is much better looking and the graphics are great.
Hopefully the change may bring back some old players with the many emails they will get saying the casino is new and imporved etc as opposed to some turning away.
I expect there to be no diff really as bodog have a great reputation and will have the “trust” factor by visitors.

That would be my guess.

If those games are no longer available, or change and the comfort factor disappears then many of those that know RTG is available elsewhere may well move back to another RTG.
excellent point. I know I’m hooked on certain games and when I try a different one and don’t win very quickly … I seldom look back.
