RTG was established in 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia but moved base to Costa Rica between 2007 and 2008 when the passing of UIGEA laws made it challenging for US gambling-related businesses. Development commenced from 2008 onwards, and the company earned a reputation early on as a leading casino software provider, illustrated by numerous industry awards won during their first five years in business.
On the other hand, RTG has been subjected to some controversies as well, the most noteworthy being when a player hit a $1 million payday while playing high stakes Caribbean 21 at two RTG casinos. The player was accused of cheating through the use of an automated program, but it is unknown whether there was any actual proof to substantiate the claim. The general consensus among the online casino community was that the player’s winnings should be honoured, and it is believed that a settlement was reached. The incident, fortunately, did not deter players from enjoying RTG games and the company continued to grow and expand.
RTG’s slogan is “taking gaming seriously” and it certainly shows as they continuously improve and update their casino software.
