RealTime Gaming Announces New Version 6.0

ATLANTA - Online Casino software developer RealTime Gaming announced the roll out of new version 6.0 of its popular online gaming software platform. The first new release of 2006, version 6.0 boasts a host of new games as well as some innovative new administrative tools.

Topping the list of new game offerings are six new “Real Series” slot titles. The Real Series games (an RTG proprietary style of slot game) have become staples of the RealTime gaming offering.

“Real Series slots have really been top performers so far,” explains RealTime Dir. Product Management Chuck Corcoran. “The way the graphics, animation, sounds and bonus features all work together – plus the thematic flexibility of the games – it just adds up to a wildly popular slot format.”

New Real Series titles delivered in version 6.0 include “Golden Glove”, “Hillbillies”, “Honey to the Bee”, “Mermaid Queen”, “Realm of Riches” and “Outta this World” – an early favorite among players. There are two other non-slot games included in the release, the new table game “Vegas Three Card Rummy” and a new video poker game, “7 Stud Poker”.

In addition to new downloadable titles, there are also eight new Flash game titles enabling instant play with no software download. Flash games are especially appealing to players that log on to play from a computer other than their own personal machine, whether at work, on the road, or at an Internet café.

“Flash games continue to become more and more important in offering players flexibility as to where, when and how they play. When it comes to our Flash games, the experience is just as rich and exciting as our download games – it's added flexibility without sacrificing the gaming experience,” says Corcoran. For version 6.0, new Flash titles include Baccarat, four video poker titles and even three Real Series slots.

Flash games also have the added operator benefit of interacting with players directly on a casino's web site (as opposed to downloaded games on a player's desktop), an especially attractive feature for casino operators that also operate sports books.

In addition to the slew of new games, version 6.0 also packs a punch in terms of new administrative tools with the introduction of the new Dashboard feature. A customizable, multi-page portal system, Dashboard displays up-to-the-minute actionable information for a single casino. The text-and-graphics displays deliver critical alerts when casino conditions rapidly change, giving operators the heads up information they need to operate efficiently. “We already had one of the most robust back-ends in the business, but Dashboard adds a powerful tool to the mix that's like nothing else in the market,” says Corcoran.

The version 6.0 roll out is the first of three planned for 2006 as a part of RTG's 3-per-year release pledge. Version 6.1 is set to launch later this summer, with 6.2 to follow in December. As for what future releases have in store, Corcoran offers this teaser: “There are some big, system-wide changes coming - you ain't seen nothing yet.”

RealTime Gaming hits Europe for eGaming Awards and EiG show

Atlanta, GA – The fall event schedule for the online gaming industry is warming up, and representatives from RealTime Gaming are gearing up, heading to Europe for two of the industry's biggest events, the 2006 eGaming Awards and the 2006 European i-Gaming Congress.

First on the schedule is eGaming Review Magazine's second annual eGaming Awards, hosted this year at London 's Natural History Museum on Monday October 9th.|

RealTime Gaming CEO Michael McMain will be on hand to deliver this year's award for Industry Hotshot, honoring one of the online gaming industry's power players as selected by eGaming's panel of journalists and judges. RealTime will play host to all of the category nominees as well as a selection of other industry VIPs at the awards presentation show. At the 2005 awards, RealTime Gaming handed out the award for Asian Market Hotshot to Easybets.com.

From London , the RTG crew moves on to Barcelona , Spain for the 5 th Annual European i-Gaming Congress. In past years, EiG has been a stop on the RealTime Gaming trade show circuit, though typically only as conference attendees – not exhibitors or sponsors.

This year, RealTime Gaming plans to up their involvement in the show, though their approach is anything but typical. RTG bypassed booking standard tradeshow booth space for EiG, opting instead to sponsor the “Relaxation Zone”.

Set as an area for gaming executives to relax on a couch, plug-in to check email or even get a relaxing back massage, the “Relaxation Zone” should be a popular destination for road-weary execs working the tradeshow trail. RealTime representatives will be on hand to answer questions about their award-winning software, and as McMain puts it, “have a chance to relax with colleagues and associates in a great venue within a great show.”

What's next for RTG's road warriors? The 2007 show season is just around the corner, with a return to London in January for the ICE 2007 show.
