Casinos |
Online casinos, also known as virtual casinos or
internet casinos, are online versions of traditional ("brick and
mortar") casinos. Online casinos enable gamblers to play and wager
on casino games through the Internet. Online casinos generally offer odds
and payback percentages that are comparable to land-based casinos. Some
online casinos claim higher payback percentages for slot machine games,
and some publish payout percentage audits on their websites. Assuming
that the online casino is using an appropriately programmed random number
generator, table games like blackjack have an established house edge.
The payout percentage for these games are established by the rules of
the game. Many online casinos lease or purchase their software from well-known
companies like Wager Works, Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and
CryptoLogic Inc to "piggyback" their reputation on the software
manufacturer's credibility. These software companies use a random number
generators to ensure that the numbers, cards or dice appear randomly. |
