REALTIME GAMING CASINOS

 

 

Introduction

RealTime Gaming is a large and well known casino software providers. Table games are fast. A skilled player can complete nearly 1000 hands of blackjack per hour. Graphics and general quality are above average, but inferior to some of the large groups, such as Microgaming and Playtech. There are several different paytables in use with RealTime Gaming casinos, so house edge of a particular game may vary from one casino to the next. Many casinos offer a Joker Poker with a small player advantage. Some players like the many features and free spins with RTG slots. RealTime Gaming casino operators can also select the return of their slot games. I believe the default slot payout is 95%.

As a whole RealTime Gaming casinos are less reputable than the other major groups. There are some trustworthy casinos that have "instant withdrawals". But there are also some of the least reputable casinos around that may take weeks to pay. The following casinos are known to be safe and reliable -- Bodog, Club World (accredited at CM), iNetBet (accredited at CM), Main Street group (accredited at CM), Wager Junction group (accredited at CM), and the VIP profits group. The ones that have a known history of problems are marked with warnings. A good portion of these casinos are untested.

 

Game Selection & House Edge

The table below lists the available games and corresponding house edge. Most RealTime Gaming games allow operators to modify default payouts, so the house edge of games may vary from one casino to another. For example, RTG operators can set the number of decks in blackjack to any number between 1 and 255. The default is 8 decks, Bodog uses 4 decks, and iNetBet uses 6 decks. This forum post lists the default configurations for most games.

Bonuses

Some RealTime Gaming casinos offer traditional cashable bonuses with a wagering requirement. Others offer "sticky" bonuses that can be wagered, but never withdrawn. Bonuses may have game restrictions, large wagering requirements, and max cash out limitations; so be sure to read the T&C before playing. Bonuses usually require redeeming a coupon code prior to making a deposit.

 

Country Restrictions

Many RealTime Gaming casinos allow players from the United States. See the USA? column for specific casinos. Other countries are generally allowed.

Table Definitions

Group -- Casinos often are linked together in e group. These groups are listed in the table. I recommend not simultaneously playing two sign up bonuses from the same group. Wait until payment is received, then play at the next casino.

Bonus EV -- EV stands for Expected Value. Bonus EV indicates the average expected gain of the bonus with the following play: Cashable and Post-wager bonuses -- Playthrough the bonus on the listed game with unlimited banrkoll; Sticky -- Make high variance bets to a 2x target, then playthrough bonus; Unique bonuses -- See the listed strategy.

Max Bonus -- The bonus that is given with the maximum allowed deposit for that bonus. If the max value is expressed as one number + another, then there are two bonuses, usually one signup bonus and one deposit method bonus. If the value is expressed as a range, then the bonus is dependent on return from a free play offer.

Bonus % -- Bonus % indicates the ratio between the bonus and your deposit. If a $300 bonus is given on a $100 deposit, the bonus % is 300%.

Wager -- Wager indicates the wagering requirement for the bonus. All wagering requirements are expressed in terms of the bonus. For example, the wagering requirement at Golden Palace is 20x(bonus+deposit). With a $100 deposit, the wagering requirement would be ($300 + $100)x20 = $8000. $8000 is 27x the $300 bonus, so the value in the table is 27xB. Clearplay bonuses may list two wagering requirements -- the minimum wagering requirement and the wagering requirement on the game French Roulette. "0xB / 60xB" indicates that you can cash out your winnings immediately (0xB), and if you complete the playthrough on French Roulette there is a 60xB wagering requirement.

Type -- Cashable bonuses are given at the start of wagering and become withdrawable after completing wagering. Like cashable bonuses, post-wager bonuses are withdrawable after completing wagering. However, they are not given until completing wagering. Sticky bonuses can be bet, but cannot be cashed out. Clearplay bonuses are a special type of cashable bonus offered by many Microgaming casinos games are weighted at different percentages and bonuses are gradually converted to cash while completing wagering. Free play bonuses involve play without making a deposit. After finishing the free play, winnings are credited as a bonus. Unique bonuses have unique rules and do not fit in any of the categories above.

Game -- Game indicates the recommended game to play the bonus.

USA? --"No" means the casino allows no players from the United States. "Yes" means the casino allows players from anywhere in the United States. "Some" means the casino allows players from some US states, but not others. Microgaming casinos typically allow players in 39 US states. They do not permit players from 11 states where gambling is legislated illegal or where there have been related court cases -- Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, New York and New Jersey.

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