Oryx Gaming

Oryx Gaming was established in 2010 and the first casino running their software opened in early 2012. The company web page gives no indication of their physical location, which is an egregious oversight for a company wanting to be taken seriously in a very competitive market. Quite frankly, if we hadn't visited their current sole licensee, Stack99 Casino, and found that the games have recently been certified for the period of July 1 to September 30, 2012 by GLI, the parent company of Technical Systems Testing (TST), we may not have reviewed the games. With this information in hand, we will assume the lack of transparency to be an oversight and go forward.

Software

Oryx Gaming offers a comprehensive software solution in their turnkey platform. Because it is a multi-system solution, players can enjoy their favorite casino games in their native language using their own currency. The modular Oryx platform allows players access to 3rd party content and an infinite variety of games from other makers if a casino chooses to expand beyond the Oryx games. The casinos will have fully integrated, market-specific payment systems so players can choose from a variety of deposit and withdrawal options and opt for their favorite method locally. Players will have a single account to cover all of their gaming needs. The advanced marketing tools allow for personalized offers and individual support, so players will build rapport with their customer service agents, and find the value they are seeking. The software can notify all, or certain users of important events to keep them on top of their game. The bonusing program is highly customizable and can be fully automated, giving players special treatment and a feeling of appreciation for their loyalty. And finally, Oryx guarantees players peace of mind and a carefree gaming experience due to their internal and external fraud prevention tools.

Games

Oryx Gaming currently offers over 35 games for online play including more than 20 slots games. The graphics and sound-scapes of all of these games are simply amazing and place Oryx as one of the top games developers for aesthetic qualities. But beauty is more than skin deep and the maths models behind some of these games are simply brilliant. The video slots have unique and original themes along with features and bonus rounds to go with them. Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrates the Latin holiday with energetic Mariachi. Players collect members of the skeletal band on the reels to finally trigger the Candy Skull bonus - when your sugar level gets high enough, you can join in on the bone-rattling free spins party. Dia De Los Muertos is a 5 reel, 15 payline game with absolutely stunning graphics and game features.

Card games include Baccarat, Multi-hand, and Single Hand Blackjack. The baccarat game has generous rules with a 9:1 payout for tie bets making it one of the highest paying baccarat games online. The Single Deck Blackjack game has the rules you would expect with 3:2 blackjack payouts and the dealer hitting soft 17. Their table games include European, French, and American Roulette as well as Casino Hold 'Em - a great way to brush up on your probability calculations without the bother of reading a bluff. Video Poker currently comes in four variants with Jacks or Better offering a 9/6 pay table. The video poker games can be played with 1, 4, 10, or 25 hands per game round. Players will also find classic keno and a bingo fixed odds game.
