Proprietary Software

Proprietary Software refers to when an online casino designs their own gaming software, rather than enlisting in the help of a third-party designer like Real Time Gaming or Cryptologic. Although the more popular option in the online casino world is to outsource your software production, some of the biggest names in the industry have proprietary software, including Casino 888 and Party Gaming.

The biggest advantage of this option is that proprietary software produces very unique games. Third party designers often license the same games to hundreds of online gambling websites, so there are copies of copies of exactly the same at hundreds of online casino. However, proprietary software gives players a completely unique experience.

There are, however, some downsides, as customers often question the reliability of proprietary software. Many people believe that casinos who design their own software put customers at risk of compromising their safety. Although these incidents happen, there are rare, but it is still less common to find such complications with third-party software like Playtech or Microgaming.
