Fake software: Another way to deceive Canadian players. Investigation of Novomatic and Greentube counterfeits in online casinos.

Recently, I visited a Canadian online casino and saw slots from the providers Novomatic and Greentube, the very same legendary ones that players remember from land-based establishments. This fact puzzled me greatly, because in many countries, including Canada, such slots are not available online. I immediately thought that it was all a fake and an attempt to deceive players, so I decided to investigate and conduct an investigation to warn players and provide substantial evidence.

Novomatic or Greentube is a well-known slot machine developer, their products are very popular all over the world. The company produces software for land-based casinos to comply with all licenses and legal requirements. But lately we have seen more and more cases where their games appear on suspicious online casinos, especially those licensed in Curacao. And, as it turns out, many of these games are fake.

  2. What is the issue?

  3. Analysis of the differences

  4. Risks of playing fake slots

  5. How to avoid fakes?

  6. Conclusion


What is the problem with fake slots?

The problem of fake casino games is not new. Online casinos often try to save money by offering uncertified versions of popular games. As a result, players may encounter games that look like their favorite slots but work completely differently. These fakes may have low RTP, distorted sounds and graphics, and of course, they are simply not fair to players.

There are many examples of such cases. For example, a couple of days ago we noticed the appearance of similar slots in the online casino Cobra Casino. This not only undermined the trust of the players, but also caused many complaints and proceedings.


Why is it important?

Why is it so important to avoid counterfeits? Firstly, you are risking your money. Fake games can be set up to make you always lose. Secondly, it's just not fair. You think you are playing a quality product from a well-known developer, but in fact you are playing a cheap copy. Finally, counterfeit games undermine trust in the entire industry sector.

Let's try to figure out together how to distinguish real games from fakes, what risks are associated with playing on fake slots, and what to do to avoid becoming a victim of scammers.


Analysis of differences

Players are often unaware that their favorite slots at their online casinos may be counterfeit. We decided to analyze the differences between the official versions of Novomatic and Greentube games and those found on suspicious platforms. Here are the main aspects we looked at: design, audio, and overall performance.

  • Design

The first thing that catches your eye when comparing original and fake slots is the differences in design. Let's look at two screenshots: the first one shows the original Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe slot, the second one shows a fake one.


Design


Design


The key differences are immediately noticeable:

  1. The background image is not even close to the same in the two slots.

  2. Logos and fonts do not correspond to the original, which is immediately noticeable to an experienced player.

  3. Simplified animations: The design of symbols and interface elements is less detailed, the animation during spins is different and less smooth in a fake slot.

  4. Elements of the control panel and the image of a girl on the side of the playing field: in the fake slot, the bottom panel is completely different, and the key difference is the presence of the game character on the side.

  • Difference in page code

Original slots from Greentube lead to servers and domains https://nrgs-b2b.greentube.com/ while fake ones are sent to unknown addresses or even stored on the servers of the casino itself. Below you can clearly see these differences:

  • Sound effects

Sound also plays a key role in creating the atmosphere of the game. In original slots from Novomatic, sounds and music are carefully thought out and enhance the gaming experience. For example, in the Book of Ra Deluxe slot, all the sound effects are crisp and clear, in addition, the sound effects are perfectly synchronized with the action on the screen, which makes the game more enjoyable. This is especially noticeable when the main symbol, the Book, appears. Fake slots do not have any sound effects when wild and scatter symbols appear. Below you can clearly compare the original and fake Book of Ra Deluxe slot in short videos.

Analyzing the differences between official and fake versions of games allows us to confidently say that suspicious online casinos use fake software. These fakes not only reduce the quality of the gaming experience, but also put your money at risk. In the next section, we will take a closer look at what risks are associated with playing on fake slots and how to avoid them.


Risks of playing fake slots

One of the main risks when playing fake slots is a low return to player percentage (RTP). RTP is an indicator that shows how much money is returned to players on average from the total amount of bets. In original games from Novomatic and Greentube, the RTP is usually around 95-98%. However, in counterfeit versions this figure can be significantly lower, up to 70% or lower. This means that your chances of winning are greatly reduced, and you risk losing your money much faster.

Another serious risk is the possibility of manipulation of game results. Unlicensed games may be set up so that the player always loses. This jeopardizes not only your finances, but also the credibility of the entire industrial sector. The original slots use certified random number generators (RNG), which guarantee fair and random results. In fake versions there is no such guarantee, and the results may be predetermined in favor of the casino.


How to avoid fakes?

Playing fake slots is not only a disappointment, but also a risk of losing money. Here are some tips to protect yourself and enjoy only quality games:

  • Play only in trusted online casinos:

    Always choose a casino with a good reputation and positive reviews. We recommend trusted online casinos, where we guarantee honesty, stable payments and only licensed software.

  • Check the casino license:

  • Make sure the casino is licensed by reputable regulatory bodies such as the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission or Kahnawake Gaming Commission. A license is a guarantee that the casino adheres to strict standards of security and integrity.

  • Study reviews and ratings:

  • Before you start playing, read reviews from other players and study casino ratings on our website . This will help you understand how reliable and honest the casino is towards its customers.


Our Conclusion

Our investigation revealed that some Curacao-licensed online casinos actually use counterfeit versions of games from Novomatic and Greentube. These counterfeits pose serious risks to players, from reduced RTP to possible manipulation of game results and financial losses.

We recommend that all players exercise caution and check the legitimacy of the casino before playing. Always choose proven platforms with licenses from reputable regulatory authorities and certified games. Your trust and safety are our priority.

Thank you for reading us and trusting us. Stay tuned to us for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the world of online casinos.

Bigget Are we sure the player was totally innocent? Maybe he was up to something? Casinos aren’t dumb, they don’t usually ban for no reason… though, yeah, anything’s possible.
