This past year has been a great one for the online casino industry with the
introduction of a number of fresh innovations.
This year’s innovations include 3D animation, new tournaments, and a
unified account system.
The newest advanced in graphics technology are slowly
becoming a standard at online casinos.
Users are demanding, now more than ever, that the quality animation,
graphics, and sound that they’ve grown accustomed to on other platforms now be
present at the online casinos. The
apparent leader in 3D animation technology for online casinos seems to be
Betsoft. Their 3D slots have
unparalleled graphics in the online slot world.
A close second, however, would have to be CTXM, followed by Rival Gaming,
who both have made significant advances in this field as well.
Though slots and blackjack have been around for generations,
the idea of creating online tournament style play for these classic games is
fairly new. All Slots Casino, Royal
Vegas, and Platinum Play have all begun to introduce this exciting element of
competition to these solitaire-esque games.
One of the ways tournament style play is introduced to these types of
games is by having all the players pay into a pool, and the player who
individually performs the best takes the pot.
Alternatively, the players are ranked and the winnings divided
accordingly.
The new unified account system, known as a one wallet
account, is a fantastic way for allowing mobility between casinos. The new system, offered at most major online
casinos, allows users to enjoy multiple game types at multiple casinos all on
the same account. This makes it easier
to keep track of expenses and earnings.
William Hill Online is a good example of an operator that offers
mobility between various sites.
