Released in 2006 by a Cyprus based software company called Black Chip Ltd, Rival came on the scene at a perfect time. As Microgaming software were pulling out of the USA market, this new online casino software arrived just in time to be the new choice for USA based gamblers.

As well as the usual games you find in all online casinos, Rival software has the following :

Single and multi-handed blackjack

European and American Roulette games

20 different Video Poker games

Craps, Keno, Red dog, War and Let it Ride

Progressive Slots

3 & 5, 10 and 15 Reel Slot games

Additionally, Rival powered casinos have an new, and very different, set of slot machine games known as the ‘iSlots’. These are something of a departure from traditional online slots and have some unusual features.

Using bonus rounds that rely on skill rather than randoming spinning wheels, these iSlots have a story element to them. The outcome to the story depends on how the gambler plays the game, the choices they make while playing the bonus rounds and how well they do. This makes the iSlots very engaging, original and, of course, great fun to play.

One negative, though, is the number of games on offer at Rival casinos. I know they’re still new, but compared to Playtech casinos which have around two hundred games, they could do with developing some more games. The iSlots are awesome. It’s just more of them would be even better.

Being the new kid on the block has its set backs, but Rival software make up for some of their short comings by creating this new and interactive style of slot games.
