•ODDS ON / VEGAS TECHNOLOGIES
Introduction
Odds On now uses the name Vegas Technologies. I continue to refer to the software as Odds On because that is the name most players are familiar with. I consider the software to be above average for a smaller group. Graphics, game selection, and general quality are good. Several new games have been added recently, including a normal house edge blackjack game (the original blackjack had a 0.73% house edge). Video poker is a weak point. >4 play video poker is still not available for most games. Some players praise the unique bonus slots with this software, while others find them disappointing. Several games have a noticeable Microgaming influence. For example, video poker and keno payouts match Microgaming. It is rumored that Odds On acquired Microgaming source code several years ago, and since then the two softwares have diverged. Software errors may occur including rare pai gow "house way" mistakes, rare mulligan poker scoring mistakes, and errors in tracking bonus wagering. In April 2006, the Odds On video poker double function was shown to have a incorrect win/loss rate. Odds On claims this was a software error and reimbursed players, after it was brought to their attention.

Bonuses
Odds on bonuses are all similar. They are cashable 100% match bonuses with a wagering requirement. You can withdraw your winnings from non-bonus wagers before completing the playthrough. You must complete the playthrough to withdraw the bonus. Blackjack, video poker, and nearly all table games are not allowed.
United States Residents
Odds On casinos continue to allow players from the United States. The one exception I am aware is the now closed casino Stanley VIP.

Bonus EV indicates the average expected gain of the bonus with the following strategy -- Playthrough the bonus on the listed game with unlimited banrkoll Max Bonus -- Max bonus indicates the maximum bonus that can be received.

Notes -- Notes indicates other important things to take note of, such as associated warnings. |
