4 How We Determined the Best Online Casinos We used a two-step process to determine the best online casinos. First, we looked at the quality and reputation of the software used by the casino. In online gaming, the software companies are the big guns of the gambling area. It can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop an outstanding software package. We based our review on the reputation of the software company, the types of games offered, the types of safeguards used to protect players, as well as the bonuses offered, and the ease of engaging in transactions. These were just some of the criteria we used to determine the best online gaming software. The "software families" we recommend are: MicroGaming Global Player Playtech Cryptologic RandomLogic Realtime Gaming BossMedia Unified Gaming Gambling Software.com 4

5 After identifying the best software companies, we took a look at the casinos using each type of software. In evaluating the casinos we considered positive aspects we had observed, as well as the comments of other players, the casinos' bonus programs, the financial standing of the casinos (i.e. shaky casinos were eliminated), the software used and the games offered. We also considered the fairness of the games, the payback percentages, and the support offered by the casinos. Finally, we evaluated the ease of making deposits and withdrawals with each casino. The casinos selected follow the description of each software company that made the grade. Quite frankly, you will not go wrong playing at one of the these casinos. We wish you the best of luck in applying your Silverthorne Publications tested strategy in these "cream of the crop" Internet casinos. Please note that we are not affiliated with any of these casinos. Most web sites that recommend online casinos are affiliates of the casinos and are paid a portion of the money lost by players. While our recommendations are somewhat subjective, they are in no way influenced by any compensation received from the casinos we recommend. We certainly would not recommend a casino where we are paid a percentage of your losses. Besides, if you use one of our systems, you won't have very many losses. 5
