Potential players worry that cyberspace is not quantifiable in the way that physically located casinos are, where gaming commissions insure the integrity of the games and odds that operate within any given casino. But with revenues and traffic on the increase it is just a matter of time until everyone accepts and, ultimately, embraces online gambling.
Many sites rightfully trumpet the fact that PricewaterhouseCoopers or some such other large firm handles their accounts in a clean professional way. But not every gambler is a statistician and often want their proof in a more easily digestible format Truegambler.com has put forward its claim to solving this problem; the Online Casino Analyzer.
The Online Casino Analyzer (OCA) is an innovative new product that aims to ensure honesty and fairness in the online gaming industry. The main focus of the True Gambler’s product is to allow the end user to decide for themselves if the online casino that they are operating with is being as up front with them as they are with it. The Online Casino Analyzer captures information of all the player’s actions in a detailed log. By providing the tools to analyze those results the OCA provides a way for players to study their own form on given games and determine whether they wish to continue with that provider.
What is perhaps more meaningful is the fact that the software draws together all the results of its online users and pools the information to create a dataset that should be large enough to give all users a real insight into the fairness of specific online casinos. Results will be logged and refreshed every 15 minutes providing a very up to date service. The Online Casino Analyzer currently works with Blackjack and Video Poker, by showing information such as payout percentage and card frequency, and at a variety of online casinos such as Microgaming, World Gaming and Playtech.
The benefits to the online casino player are manifold. Not only does the OCA allow easy and accurate records of their iGaming which makes it possible to check where their non-optimal play falls, it also gives them the ability to prove if a casino is playing fairly or if it is fixing the odds. Public release of such information ensures 100% transparent online gaming industry.
The appearance of third party verification cannot be underestimated as the OCA can show that highly improbable events that occur to one player are not necessarily due to a lack of fairness when compared to the greater picture; the culpability of reasonable probability can then be maintained which can be used to answer those that cry foul play.
Independently backed software that holds online gambling to account is definitely a welcome step for both players and the industry on the whole. The more that casinos can offer transparency, the more happy players place their bets. In turn both sides of the industry will enjoy bigger business, larger jackpots, more seductive incentives and bonuses, and that, quite frankly, can never be a bad thing.
