Realtime Gaming Software was founded in 1998 with the express purpose of developing software and solutions for the online gambling industry. As such, it got into the game a lot later than some other companies, but it this had no impact on its epic rise, proving that their corporate slogan, “Take Gaming Seriously,” is well chosen.

The company quickly became one of the most relevant developers in the sector, not only because of the quality of the product they brought to the marketplace, but because of their involvement with industry bodies such as the Interactive Gaming Council, and the iGGBA.

Realtime Gaming Software provides solutions for online casino operators, and has an impressive number of licensees. Their success is largely based not only on developing excellent games, but also on designing great management tools for online casino owner, who they don't dictate to.

Realtime Gaming's strategy has largely been to provide excellent tools for running an online casino, but unlike other industry giants such as Cryptologic and 888.com, RealTime Gaming does not demand that their licensees follow strict guidelines or regulate them to enforce compliance.

One area where this practise is most significant is the adherence to gambling legislation within a given geographic area. Realtime Gaming leaves it up to the online casino licensee to ensure that their operation is in compliance.

Leaving this decision in the hands of individual operators has meant that a large number of Realtime-powered casinos have continued to welcome US-based players in defiance of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a piece of American legislation many consider to be unclear.

This means that in an era where companies like Microgaming have all but closed their doors to the USA resulting in punishment at the stock exchange, casinos running Realtime Gaming software have continued to thrive.

The company's software is extremely popular with online casino operators, not least because it does not dictate what a casino's payscales should be. It also allows operators to set their own payout percentages, but the software is audited and certified by Technical Systems Testing (TST), an internationally accredited testing group, to ensure that its games are truly random.

In terms of the player's experience of Realtime Gaming software, the company prides itself on impressive graphics and realistic simulations of casino play – even to the extreme of modelling the physics of the dice used in their craps games. They're also known for fast action, famously being able to run 7 hands of Blackjack a minute.

Realtime Gaming runs some of the richest networked progressives in the industry including Card Shark, Shopping Spree and It's Good To Be Bad. They've also developed speciality games such as Keno and Bingo.

There's a wide variety of classic casino table games like Roulette, Poker, Pai Gow, Baccarat and  Caribbean Stud. One area where they stand out from the crowd is their excellent video poker, offering more than 20 different variants of the game.
