Microgaming software

Microgaming are the world leaders in casino software clients, and have been ever since their inception back in 1994. You will struggle to find a gaming website outside the US market which is not powered by Microgaming. Our top-rated roulette sites for Australian players, All Slots and All Jackpots, both use Microgaming technology. With over 500 games, and new releases every month, their devotion to both quality and quantity is irrefutable.

RNG Testing & Fairness

One of the things that sets Microgaming apart from the field is their deeply ingrained reputation for creating fair games. Their Random Number Generators (RNGs) and game engines are tested regularly by independent firms to ensure the industry-leading standards they have set over the past two decades never waver. So whether you are playing roulette, or gunning for that mega progressive jackpot on Microgaming’s legendary global network, rest assured there are no booby traps lurking behind the screen.

Full Casino Suite Download

When playing online, you can usually choose how you would like to access the gaming floor. At most sites, the first option is to download the full casino software. This is the complete package, giving you every game, option, and feature the casino has to offer. With high-quality graphics, eye-pleasing designs and easy-to-use interfaces, downloading the casino suite gives not only a fully functional gambling experience, but also a taste of that ambience and feel you get when hitting the roulette tables at a traditional, land-based venue.

Instant Play Casino

Hard-drive space is a precious commodity to some, while others simply cannot be bothered downloading programs when there is a quicker alternative (yours truly included). Thankfully, almost all online casinos offer an ‘instant play’ option, while fewer only offer this option. Usually driven by Flash or Java, this approach requires no further downloads – just click on the ‘instant play’ or ‘no download’ icon, wait for the casino to load (this should take less than a minute), et voila – we are in business. Most no-download casinos do not offer quite as many features as the complete suites, but all the key ingredients are there: a great selection of games (the majority of the full casino suite), simple navigation, and access to all the essentials (the cashier, for instance).

Security & Spam Protection

Many among the first-time online gamblers out there might be concerned about the possibility of dodgy casino software infecting their computer. We have all suffered the indignity and frustration of spam, viruses, and other such nasties clogging up our screens at some point, and it would be foolish not to be wary of these digitally transmitted diseases. But gaming websites would never survive if they allowed their patrons’ laptops to implode after a couple of spins – it’s all about trust and integrity, especially when there is real money involved. Casino programs are fully protected against spyware and malware, thanks to their 128-bit SSL Digital Encryption systems, while reputable sites like All Jackpots and All Slots adhere to a strict anti-spam policy, ensuring that the privacy of Australian gamblers remains unsullied.

Live Dealers in Online Roulette

Some people find Internet gaming to be lacking a certain… je ne sais quoi. Whatever those elements are that make the traditional casino experience so unique – atmosphere, camaraderie, banter, service, whatever – can get lost in translation, or are just very difficult to replicate in computer play. This can certainly be said of roulette, which is intrinsically linked with the style and glamour of that classic, champagne-soaked Monte Carlo vibe.

Lucky for us, there is a happy compromise (if not better option) that combines the convenience of Internet gaming with the interactivity of b&m casinos. Live online roulette has been popular in Europe for years, and the Australian gambling community is starting to cotton on. Rather than playing against a computer program, there is a real-life human dealer who runs the game using actual, tactile casino equipment. So in live roulette, we get to see the croupier spin the wheel and drop the ball, just as we would in a land-based gaming venue. Players view the action via video streaming with two distinct game views available (casino and standard), and can chat with fellow players and the dealer.

Microgaming’s live dealer games are renowned for their aesthetic quality and super-smooth performance, thanks to reliable High Definition feeds, and can be played through both the full-download suite and the instant play interface. All Slots Casino carries the signature Live Playboy roulette, which features gorgeous croupiers and evokes the decadence and exclusivity feel of the original Playboy Club.

Sign Up & Play

Now we know about the casino software and the different gaming options, and the next step, opening a playing account, is a swift, painless process and should only take a minute or two – indeed, at some sites it can be done in a matter of seconds. Just fill in your details (all standard stuff) and follow the prompts, and you will be able to deposit Aussie dollars into your account via numerous methods (VISA and MasterCard credit/debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, etc.) and hit the tables in search of real money rewards.

Web casinos offer a variety of bonuses and promotions to their account holders, including a start-up gift that often involves free spins and a credit upgrade on your first deposit. At All Jackpots and All Slots, for example, Aussie players receive a $500 sign up bonus just for joining. Sign up, claim your bonus, and become acquaint with online gaming.
