Bodog dropping RTG?

[bb1web]

Hi all,

read this rumor at CAP.

not sure whether its true or not: but here's my pov on the subject:

personally I think that any move away from a publically traded software is bad business.

its too easy to think that a proprietary software would enable a casino to set its own payout ratios .... or set things up however it sees fit. Including an unfair advantage on any/all levels.

if its true ..... its an outrageously bold move IMHO.

Also IMHO what sets apart a casino using software such as MGS to its own .... is that you know MGS isn't going to allow that casino to set its own rules on payouts etc.

Bodog has a reputation .... not all that sure whether you'd call it good or bad ... but I'd say more people think good than bad. That can change quickly .... even if the new software is offering fair-odds games.

By nature ... casino games are set up so there are more losers than winners. Let them start bitching about unfair practice and then the reader plays there .... and more than likely loses ... well you can fill in the rest but leave it said that its a short leap from losing to thinking the reason you lost is more than just regular casino odds except for those most rational players.

Doesn't Real Time Gaming sites have a bad reputation for being slow on paying out players?

Hi again,

RTG has had a questionable rep for a long time IMHO. Yes there are some decent places but few and far between in my mind.

that said however ..... proprietary software is scary stuff.

does anyone know of an update on this story yet? i would like to see what comes of this. bodog has done an excellent job of building their brand with rtg software - probably more so than any other rtg casino online, so it is surprising that they would leave. hopefully if they do it is for the better. i am interested to hear what happens next...
