The internet is now such a well-established part of our lives that many of us could not even do our job without it let alone enjoy our leisure time online. Even our mobile phones now provide us with constant access to the internet as well as enabling us to keep in contact with friends, family and of course work colleagues. Very few businesses can prosper nowadays without an internet presence of some description, and some of the biggest companies in the world have been established and have grown directly as a result of our dependence on the internet. Every computer system needs software to run it, and every website also needs good operating and management software to be effective. That is particularly true for any internet site dealing directly with their customers and taking money online. The absolute priority for the operating software in those circumstances has to be the financial security and data protection systems they have in place, before any attention is concentrated on the product or service being marketed. That requirement is also absolutely true for all our online gambling sites and of course the new independent online casinos which have come on stream over the last couple of years. Here at onlinecasino.ie we have compiled a list of recommended online casino sites which are available in Ireland, and every one of them must ensure that the casino software they use provides the best security possible. Online casino software is of course a very specialist area within the overall computer software sector, because the casino software has a very significant input into the product being offered by an online casino. On most internet sites set up to market a product or service it is the graphics and ease of navigation of the site which define the quality of the software, whereas the quality of the casino software is almost always dependent on whether the casino games the software suppliers have designed prove popular with the casino games playing public. Clearly quality of the graphics is still very important, particularly the graphics associated with the traditional casino games such as roulette and blackjack where there is no input from the casino software suppliers into the actual game, but it is primarily the slots games which define the success or otherwise of the casino software used by each online casino. Many of the most popular slots games we play at the online casinos are based specific themes such as popular films, comic characters or television programmes, and it is the casino software companies which are responsible for negotiating any copyright issues or licensing agreements which may be necessary.

This particular responsibility is also the reason why the biggest casino software company Playtech became so dominant so quickly. Playtech was founded in 1999 and started working on online casino software in 2001. Two years later they were also the first to launch the live casino option with roulette and blackjack being streamed live from a special studio with real dealers. Over the next couple of years Playtech introduced both their poker platform and their bingo platform to the market, but it was their agreement with Paramount Digital Entertainment signed in 2008 which became the catalyst for their success. This was followed soon afterwards by a similar agreement with Marvel Entertainment and Playtech were then able to design and supply slots and video slots based on a whole range of well-known film and comic book characters. Playtech have rapidly become the dominant player in the casino software sector, with their software currently used by many of the big online casino operators such as William Hill, Betfred and more recently Ladbrokes.

In Ireland of course the Paddy Power casino is one of the most popular online casinos, and their casino software is supplied by a company called Wagerworks. Wagerworks was originally part of Silicon Gaming, a slot machine manufacturer, but is now an independent company concentrating solely on casino software. Probably best known for their slots games with massive jackpots, Wagerworks also supply some slots games to 888 casino.

Before we go on to discuss the latest developments in the casino software sector there is another of the major bookmakers and online casino operators we feature on our recommended list and which we have not yet considered. Bwin is almost certainly better known for its football sponsorship deals with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but the Bwin casino is also an excellent site with a variety of exclusive casino games supplied by Chartwell Technology. Chartwell is a Canadian company set up ion 1998, but now has employees in London, Malta and Singapore. Chartwell has also recently agreed to supply software to Betfair, the well known betting exchange.

It is now time to examine how the new specialist online casinos have influenced the casino software market. The All Irish casino is one of the relatively new online casinos which still mostly uses one casino software company, in this case a Swedish company called NetEntertainment, or NetEnt for short. Certainly the biggest casino software supplier in Scandinavia NetEnt has also established a reputation for the excellent quality of their graphics, as good a reason as any to take a look at the All Irish casino. NetEnt slots games can also be found at the CasinoLand site, which brings us to the newest entrants to the online casino sector.

CasinoLand, YakoCasino and Instacasino have all decided to offer casino games from a variety of different casino software companies rather than using one principle software supplier for the whole site, which used to be the norm. This means that they are able to offer a bigger variety of the best and most popular casino games on the one site. There is no doubt that this strategy has proved popular with many casino games players in Ireland and elsewhere.

There is one more new online casino which has brought us a different range of casino games, and that is CasinoCasino. Those of you who have always been fans of playing slot machines will undoubtedly know the extremely popular games supplied by Amatic Industries. The good news is that many of these popular slots games are now available at CasinoCasino, which is the first time these games have appeared online.
