For some years now, they have been sprouting out of the ground: online casinos. Countless providers enable gambling fans to indulge in their favourite leisure activities around the clock on the Internet. Those who used to like to go to the casino in the past can now save their time and simply switch on the computer. But how exactly does this principle actually work?

Because where in a real casino there is a dealer who distributes cards and chips, has an eye on everything and is responsible for ensuring that a game goes smoothly, an online casino needs an adequate replacement. How can you ensure that the games work as you are used to from real life?

For this purpose, very special types of software are used, which have experienced their own hype since the advent of online casinos and have virtually formed a new industry. There are now almost as many well-known software manufacturers for online casinos as there are providers on the net, although a few of them stand out clearly. Take MicroGaming, for example, which is regarded as a pioneer in software development. As early as the mid-1990s, the company began to deal with online gambling and was thus one of the first companies to pave the way on the market. Providers such as 32Red, Casino Online Portugal or Online Casino Srbija are among the best and most reputable MicroGaming customers. Here, the company is responsible for trying your luck on digital gaming machines or roulette tables and perhaps winning big money at 32Red and Co.

But Microgaming is not the only giant on the market. Soon after the company began to be successful, other companies came up with the idea to deal with this topic as well, and Net Entertainment Casinos, Playtech and many others soon followed. No matter which online casino you play at, it’s probably one of the big names behind it. Most of the companies founded themselves in the course of the 1990s, experienced the boom around the Internet and everything related to it, that is to say, at first hand and are perfectly adjusted to what the customers and ultimately the users would like to have offered when they register in an online casino to try their luck.

But how exactly does it work with this casino software? After all, what you see on a slot machine in a slot game, for example, must have been generated somewhere. There are indeed certain generators for this purpose. They are called Random Number Generators, or RNG for short, and thus stand as a rough translation for nothing else than the term random number generator. It is their job to ensure that the numbers that appear on the digital machine actually appear there at random. Fortunately, the current state of the art makes this possible, but the way the RNGs work is generally still considered to be relatively complicated, so that one has to have a lot of mathematically on the box in order to be able to follow this system.

The most important thing in this area is of course fair play. Users would certainly not react enthusiastically if it were found out that online casinos use software that deliberately ensures that few profits are made. In this case, you should really stick to reputable suppliers, because you get the guarantee that everything goes right. Apart from that, the providers don’t really need to cheat their customers at all, because in fact the probability to hit the jackpot on a slot machine is so small that the online casino itself usually has a plus factor. Smaller winnings are always in, but that someone has a really big fish on the fishing rod, happens only rarely. If the technology, which is the software behind the gaming machines on the Internet, but functions fairly and does not favour or disadvantage anyone, then you don’t really have to worry about anything like that as a player.

Due to the fact that most slots machines are operated by a random generator, the player has to say goodbye to the idea of using a tactic in some way. If everything is to be right, then one simply has to live with the fact that it depends entirely on the happiness or bad luck of the individual, whether one goes home with a profit or a loss. The payout of the prize therefore actually depends on an invoice, not on the moment you press the stop button or on which spin was the previous one. The same applies to the software, which determines which cards can be used for which purpose.
