Chartwell Games

Chartwell Technology brands itself as a company people can depend on. The online gambling software provider was established in 1998, and to date is recognized as one of the world leaders in the development and implementation of gambling software. In recent years, Chartwell has ventured into the mobile gaming industry, developing games to be used on devices like cellular phones, but their bread-and-butter software deals with sports betting. Over the past decade, Chartwell has made a name for itself by providing high-speed, graphically-sound gaming options to players.

Chartwell can be considered unique in that they were the first developer to launch Flash and Java-based gaming systems commercially. The goal in this was to create customer-friendly games that would load quickly, be easy to use and to provide a true-to-life gaming experience in terms of the odds and game format. The company increased its hold on the gaming software world in 2006, when Chartwell joined forces with Stan James - a brand well respected for its sports betting options.

Unlike many of today's companies dealing in gaming software, Chartwell Technology is actually a profitable, debt-free company, with over 130 employees overall, located in Vancouver, Malta, Singapore and London. Since offering software for the first officially licensed online casino in the UK, Chartwell has broadened its horizons, offering their casino software to casinos in other parts of the world and distributing their software to a variety of casino and bookmaking owners.

One of the more unique features Chartwell Technology offers is total ownership and control for any of its operators. Instead of having online gaming site operators use their software and evolve to fit their respective platform, Chartwell's unique software solutions are able to be fully integrated into the existing architecture of a client's site. Chartwell also backs out of the casino game altogether and does not operate in direct competition with other owners. They simply provide the innovative solutions for operators to use.

Chartwell technology seems to be lacking in security measures. Undoubtedly, the group uses a basic 128-bit encryption to keep their own software ventures and business safe from any type of outside interference, but the sole ownership offered to its clients means that each particular owner will have to put their own advanced security measures in place. This doesn't necessarily reflect negatively against the brand, because they do have basic security features, but it does leave Chartwell on a short list of software providers that don't go into much detail regarding ongoing security.

The brand specializes mostly in no-download games, making them accessible on a variety of devices. Their variety of games is lacking, offering only a few solid choices, but you can still find various versions of roulette, blackjack and video poker, as well as some slot games and a variety of poker choices like Let it Ride and Pai Gow. Chartwell is a member of the Interactive Gaming Council and is a corporate member of the Remote Gaming Association.
