An unsubstantiated report from a disaffected but unidentified source says that RTG, Real Time Gaming, is about to close down its US operations and retrench staff prior to a move to Costa Rica. Whilst this is a possibility given the US situation, we have yet to see confirmation. Here is the report as we have it:
Quote:
Real Time Gaming to leave US. A source close to the online casino software provider, says that management at RTG's Atlanta, Georgia based operation called a meeting with staff last week and announced the office would close in the near future.
It was made clear that most staff from the Atlanta location will not be retained or relocated to their Costa Rica operation.
Real Time Gaming is a veteran of the online gaming industry and has been supplying online casino software since 1988. They were included among the top online gaming software suppliers and licensers from 2000 to 2003.
It has not been all plain sailing for the multi-lingual software provider, who counts Bodog Casino as their biggest customer. 2004 onwards saw a period of some decline for the company, with several casino licensees going bust and a couple of the more profitable clients moving on to other gaming platforms.
At time of writing, a visit to the Realtimegaming.com website shows only a one page site with all client lists and all company information removed except for the contact address of their Curacao based sales office.
It has also been rumored that the controlling interests of Real Time Gaming pursued a sale of the company recently and the company went through at least one due diligence from a prospective buyer who was already in the gaming software business. The sale, however, did not eventuate.
