Best Online Casino Innovations 2012

2012 has been a great year for innovation throughout the world, and the online casino industry has been no different as it has introduced a whole host of new features to be enjoyed by operators and players. We present you three of the best innovations from this year.

3D and animated games

Three-dimensional and animated online video slot games have taken another step this year, with customers now expecting their online gambling operator to provide them with the best and most cutting edge in graphics, animation and sounds. This is the latest technology, requiring no special eyewear for the user.

Betsoft Gaming's 3D slots provide arguably the most involved online casino experience, with amazing state-of-the-art games to be found at Mr Green Casino. Rival and CTXM are fast rivalling Betsoft Gaming, however, with both bringing out dozens of the most modern 3D online games in the business.

One Wallet Account

One Wallet Systems are being offered by most of the major online gambling operators, or at least those who provide multiple platforms. This system allows customers to use a company's online casino, bingo, poker, sportsbook, and games offering through the same account, without having to register anew every time.

William Hill Online is one operator that offers this method, allowing players to move more easily between its many gambling sites. It offers more than 50 different payment methods, allowing players to withdraw up to $250,000 (or currency equivalent) in the one go, from credit cards, debit cards, and all the most popular e-wallets.

Slots and Blackjack tournaments

Slots and blackjack are two of the most popular and commonly played games at online casinos, and this year has seen the proliferation of slots tournaments and blackjack tournaments. Platinum Play, Royal Vegas, and All Slots Casino are just some of the operators that bring you daily online slots tournaments.

For example, All Slots tournaments are often buy-in competitions, in which players enter by paying a small amount towards the prize pool. When the designated time is over, they are ranked according to how much they have won, and the prize pool is divided between them accordingly.
