The software is available in a download version and a version made in flash that can be played in your browser without downloading and installing any software. My casino review is based on the download version of Captain Cooks Casino. I did not have to download and install any software - because I am a regular player at Captain Cooks Casino - actually I am VIP player at Captain Cooks - so they keep offering my monthly bonuses and VIP promotions. It's not hard at all to become a VIP Player at Captain Cooks - all you have to do is to send them an email once you have made deposits worth $600 or more.
For this casino review I opened the casino program and made a $100 deposit into my casino account. New players at Captain Cooks Casino can get some cool bonuses when they sign-up. Currently Captain Cooks offer a matching bonus of $50 for $50.
I started out playing at the European blackjack table. The minimum bet is $2 - the maximum bet is $200 per hand. Captain Cooks offers several variants of Blackjack such as a multi-hand version where you can play on up to 5 spots in one round - Atlantic City Blackjack - Spanish Blackjack - Triple 7's Blackjack - Vegas Downtown Blackjack and Vegas Strip Blackjack can also be played at Captain Cooks Casino. I was betting from $2 to $10 per hand and won a bit, but I was not really going anywhere so I moved on to test my luck at the slots.
The Oceans 7 Slot is a classic slot machine with a single payline and 3 reels. You can adjust the coin size from $0.25 up to $5, and you can choose from betting 1 - 2 or 3 coins per spin. To be able to win the jackpot of 4000 coins you will have to bet 3 coins per spin - so I was betting 3 coins per spin - $0.75 per spin - with the minimum coin size of $0.25. I won a lot of spins on this slot machine - but as you can see on the screendump to the right I was not really winning or losing much.
The Captain Cash Slot Machine is a unique slot machine that you will not find at any online casino other than Captain Cooks Casino. This slot machine has 5 paylines and 3 reels. You can bet from 1 to 5 coins and the coin size can be from $0.25 and up to $5. So, if you activate all 5 paylines it's $1.25 and up to $25 per spin depending on the coin size. I experienced frequent wins at Captain Cash - but nothing big. As you can see on the screenshot I took while playing this slot machine, the Captain Cash symbol is wild and will substitute for any symbol.
Captain Cooks Online Casino also offers many variants of video poker - there are video poker variants where you play 4 hands in one game, and video poker variants where you can play up to 10 hands in one video poker game. When I made this casino review I tried the regular single hand Jacks or Better. If you are a fan of video poker games; Captain Cooks - or any other casino using the Microgaming Viper casino software - is a great pick in my opinion.
Cool Buck is a fun slot machine with 3 reels and 5 paylines. The coin size can be from 0.25 up to $5. When you activate all 5 paylines you will be betting from $1.25 and up to $25 per spin. The Dollar symbol is wild and can substitute for any symbol. The jackpot of 6000 coins is won if you manage to line up 3 dollar symbols on the 5th payline. Even though I was betting with the minimum coin size, I hit some good wins on this slot machine - among others I managed to line up 3 blue 7s on the payline. That spin paid $87.75 and I kept winning at this slot - when my bankroll reached $200 I moved on to try another slot game.
The Carnival Slot has 9 paylines and 5 reels. The coin size can be from $0.25 up to $5. Betting on all 9 paylines a spin will cost you from $2.25 and up to $45 per spin. I was betting $2.25 per spin. The carnival slot has wild symbols and scatter symbols. I had fun with this slot machine for a very long time, but you can expect your bankroll to go up and down like a roller coaster. I had some good wins on Carnival Slot; among others I won $50 on a single spin, then the very next spin paid $40. At one point my bankroll passed $240 - when it went below $200 I moved on to something new.
I also tried out some of the table games. I broke about even at the craps table and at the Sic-bo table. At the European single zero roulette table I covered number 17 with 9 units - $1 chips. I placed one straight bet on number 17 and the rest of the 9 chips I placed on every corner and border of number 17. On the 9th roulette spin the ball landed straight on number 17 and I won $144 on that $9 bet - you can see the screenshot of this spin to the right.
I played a few other games and ended up cashing out $200 - so that was a small $100 profit for me on my initial $100 deposit. I can definitely recommend Captain Cooks Casino to you. The service is great - the software is the award winning Microgaming Viper software, and the customer support is fast and friendly. New players can get some great bonuses - and there are ongoing monthly bonuses and special offers for VIP players every month.
