Categorization of games in online casino software

Quality of every online casino software is assessed by its convenience and simplicity of navigation. The main page of every software is certainly the lobby that includes all casino games offered by the software provider. Some providers care enough to make the lobby as intuitive and convenient as possible. All the games are usually categorized according to their types. There are slot machines, table games, video pokers, progressive games and so on. Let’s look at the innovations introduced by the leading software developers into their lobby interface.

The first software we decided to examine is Microgaming. Microgaming is certainly the top (and the first!) developing company around the globe. It powers numerous gambling sites around the world, but unfortunately US gamblers are not accepted to any of them. Once you enter the GAMES section of any Microgaming online casino, as Platinum Play for example, you will see a table on the left that shows all the major categories of games presented. Once you click on any of them, a list of sub-categories will be revealed. For example, when pressing a category of Blackjack you will see a list including Blackjack Guide, Blackjack Games, Blackjack Strategies and Free Blackjack. Clicking on the Blackjack Games will reveal a list of types of Blackjack as multi hand blackjack, single hand blackjack and gold series. Clicking on any of them, you will finally see a list of blackjack games falling into these respective categories. Besides all main categories you will also see a category dedicated to the New Casino Games. There is a brief description of games that have been recently released by the provider. For example, right now it features three games: Lady in Red, Queen of the Jungle and the famed Thunderstruck II.

The next software that has undergone our examination is Vegas Technology software . Several US gambling sites run on this online casino software including Online Vegas. Once you enter the lobby of this gambling site, you will see 5 major categories of games: table games, slot games,video poker games, progressive games and new games.Some of these categories are divided into sub-categories, for example slot machines of different types. If you are looking for new games, you can enter the category of new games specifically or enter any other category and search for a NEW! indication there. A very convenient idea!

The third examinee of ours is Realtime Gaming software. This software provider divides all the games into specialty games, slots, table games and video poker. No specially allotted category for new games is provided. No NEW indications in all main categories were found as well. Such a poor categorization makes us wonder if RTG cares about its clients at all, as the whole process of choosing a game becomes really confusing.

And the last software we checked out is Rival Gaming. It powers such gambling sites as Sloto’ Cash and Ruby Royal. Entering the site of Ruby Royal online casino we found a great page for casino games including all traditional games categories and most popular casino games. No category for new games though, that spoils the general impression a little bit.

To draw a conclusion, out of all four gambling sites above we have been most impressed by Microgaming online casino software. Very intuitive, convenient and logical categorization of games along with the quality interface. That is the standard that all other software providers should try to catch up with. Well done!
