Online Casinos

Royal Vegas casino is an online casino that has been around for years and has a sterling reputation as part of the popular Fortune Lounge group of online casinos. Like all casinos using  Microgaming casino software, Royal Vegas does not accept players from the USA.

Microgaming software is (arguably!) the most popular online casino software, with over 350 games, including some 200 video slots. As primarily an online slots enthusiast I find the choice almost overwhelming to be honest but a bit of playing around and you soon start to find the best slots for you. That’s not to say that *all* the slots are great, but some are among my all-time favourites, most notably Thunderstruck, Isis and the newer 100-line Cashapilla. They all have the free spins bonus, as do probably around 100 other slots in the Royal Vegas online casino software. The Flash version has around 150 games - less than half Read the rest of this entry »

VERY IMPORTANT! (well, quite anyway)

From the 10th November 2008, USA residents will no longer be able to open accounts at any online casino that uses Microgaming software. This is a huge proportion of the casinos represented on this and many other websites. However, any Americans who have opened an account on or prior to the 9th November 2008 (Sunday) will be OK to continue playing.

See this list of USA casinos for up-to-date information on a State By State basis.

A new online casino on the Microgaming platform to play with this week (excluding Americans I’m afraid). Player’s Palace casino uses the excellent MG software and has over 350 games in the download version and 150+ in the Flash version. They are also offering a free play promotion with $2,000 and an hour to see what you can hit.

I’ve not had a chance to play myself yet, but thought I’d slap this up just in case you are looking for a new online casino to check out. But being Microgaming, I can be pretty confident it will be a very safe place to play. More info when I have it.

I recently learned that Sky Vegas casino accepts Canadian players, although quite how easy depositing will be bearing in mind the current banking climate on that side of the pond I can’t vouch for. But a Canadian player I know said she’d managed to sign up no problem, and a call to the casino backed up the fact that they do accept players from Canada (but not the USA).

Now, why is this unusual? Well, basically Sky Vegas has recently started taking onboard more of the IGT slots from subsiduary Wagerworks. Up until now, players there were limited to Cleopatra and players from Canada only had the option of playing Cleopatra at Paddy Power, and even then only via their “Games” product rather than the casino. As of today they have added Cleopatra II, Davinci Diamonds, Triple Fortune Dragon and Wolf Run, all popular Read the rest of this entry »

I have played at Club USA since it left the Chartwell sofwtare platform and signed up to Realtime Gaming and it’s one of only a few RTG casinos that a) I can trust and b) recommend. It’s not perfect - what casino is? - but the games are very good, slots in particular, and the service and cashouts fast. That’s what I look for in an online casino. Cashouts are processed every day, and while US players do have to be more careful about Read the rest of this entry »

OK I’ll try and keep this as brief as possible as there is a lot to cover. For those who get bored of reading quickly, scan down for a resumeé of those online casinos who offer the best solution for US residents or view a list of online casinos listed by US State.

But first a bit of background. In October 2006, the US passed the UIGEA, an Act designed not to ban online gambling, but to make it difficult for North American residents to deposit and withdraw. It has had limited success in achieving it’s goals…the banks are not big fans because of the fact they are now responsible for checking every transaction. In a nutshell, the law turned out to do exactly the opposite of what its protractors claimed- to “protect family values“. Clearly designed to capture the votes from the moral crusaders for a presidential campaign that floundered, it’s unfortunately backfired. I’ll explain:

What the law did manage to do was to remove many of the best online casinos Read the rest of this entry »

Casinoshare (Microgaming) have launched a brand new slots promotion for new players in time for 2008 - get $2008 (or euros or UK Pounds) free and 60 minutes to make as much as you can from it. These type of promotions have been around for a while and proved very popular. Of course, nothing is quite as easy as it seems - there are limits to what you can cash out, but as a way to see and get a feel for a casino, this is easily one of the best.

Casinoshare, being on the excellent Microgaming Viper Read the rest of this entry »
