Introduction

WagerWorks was acquired by IGT in 2005, you can via IGT Software here.

Disclaimer: Let it be known that I have served as a consultant to WagerWorks. However, this review attempts to be unbiased and mostly sticks to the game rules, odds, and strategy. While I feel comfortable there is no conflict of interest I think it is appropriate to disclose the relationship.

WagerWorks is the digital offshoot of Silicon Gaming, the US video slot machine manufacturer acquired by IGT. Their history in gaming is evidenced by very well designed games with beautiful graphics. Another Silicon Gaming carryover is a penchant for licensed brand games. WagerWorks has licensing arrangements to offer such brands as The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. They are also fastidious about licensing proprietary game types, like Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker and multihand video poker. In my experience, they seem to be ultra-ethical and fully-legal in every aspect of their business.

All WagerWorks games are implemented in Flash. You do not need to perform a time-consuming download to get started. In addition to traditional casino games, the company also offers an extensive line of fun and unique games. Their software allows you to review the exact outcome of all of your prior games. Additionally, WagerWorks has so far only partnered with established, well-trusted companies such as Hard Rock Casino and BSkyB.

WagerWorks, a US company, only operates casinos in fully regulated jurisdictions such as the UK and Alderney. In addition to the security of full government oversight, players benefit by having the payback for each game listed in the pay table. However, government oversight also means that bets can only be accepted from places where such bets are legal. Players in restricted countries, like the United States and Australia, can only play for fun.

Following are the games available with specific rules and comments.
