Casino Software Providers: Parlay Entertainment

Parlay Entertainment is a publicly traded, Canadian-based online casino software company that claims to have invented online bingo. In terms of its online slots (which is, of course, our focus), Parlay is not really our very favorite provider. We haven’t played many of their slot machine games, and have not been impressed with the offerings we’ve reviewed. Of course, Parlay’s focus is on Bingo, and they don’t devote the lion’s share of their time and resources to anything but that. We’d give them a pass, except for the fact that Parlay casinos keep ending up on the roll calls of rogue casinos being circulated by such reputable sources as CasinoMeister.com.

Parlay was founded in 1998 by Perry Malone and Scott White. In 2005 alone, as much as two million U.S. dollars were bet on Parlay casino gaming titles. The company has offices in Oakville, Canada (where it was founded) and in Bridgetown, Barbados. Parlay Entertainment Inc. is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, where it was formerly branded as the Dot Come Entertainment Group.

Parlay’s online slots and other casino gaming titles are based on Flash software, but are available in both download and no download options. Most of their titles are available in free play versions, although Parlay has been accused of inflating the winning percentages of the dummy modes. They have crossed into mobile and PDA gaming, making many of their popular titles available in this format. Casino Vega, Sunshine Bingo, Yahoo Bingo, and Virgin Bingo are some of the Parlay Entertainment casinos, although the first two have been accused of such scoundrel tactics as refusing to give players money that they are owed.
