Mansion Casino Review

With a launch date of September 2004, Mansion Casino is a relatively new site in the online gambling world. However, there's no question that Mansion intends to be a big player in the gambling business, having just splashed out £34 million on shirt sponsorship for premiership outfit Tottenham Hot Spurs (a major league soccer team in the UK). This is just another example of how the online casino business has increasingly progressed into a truly professional industry. Back in 2001 a certain online casino (Golden Palace) sponsored a flasher to invade a major European soccer game - five years later an online casinos are sponsoring major football teams across Europe.

As Mansion is a clear front runner in main stream marketing trend, we should expect that they have a hot online casino to offer. So I thought I better give them a visit and see what there all about. Mansion Casino is licensed and regulated by the government of Gibraltar and the company also operates hotels.

The first thing that needs to be pointed out, is that Mansion is not only a casino but an entire gambling site, including a sports book, sports exchange, poker room and cell phone casino. This offers the player the benefit of being able to use casino balance to make sporting bets or play poker, etc, from one web site and one account. This certainly must be of interest to players who are not exclusively casino players.

Mansion Casino is quite rare, as it's completely non-downloadable, with all games, cashier transactions and account management done from within your internet browser. The casino software is also completely exclusive to Mansion.com, so you are not going to find Mansion's games anywhere else on the internet.

To start Mansion Casino you first have to register an account at Mansion.com, which turned out to be a quite a slow process because my browser was unresponsive at the time. However, once registered I managed to load the cashier and make a swift deposit of $130 dollar using NETeller.

As an internationally geared online gaming site, Mansion offers you the opportunity to deposit and wager in 14 different currencies. There's also a massive selection of deposit methods. The casino offers one of best sign up promotions I have ever encountered online, a massive 100% up to the value of $1,000.

The online casino bonus only carries a 10x (bonus + deposit) wagering requirement. However, when you make your deposit the bonus will only be issued to your account after you have reached the majority of your wager requirement (I think about 80%). Up to that point you can withdrawal your balance at any point, making this a non sticky bonus. These are very fair terms and conditions, for a sign up bonus (especially for one this size) and this is what makes it such a great promotion.

To make the promotion even better, Mansion offers a 50% match bonus up to the value of $500 on your second and third deposits. Check the website for current promotions plus there terms and conditions.

To play a casino game, just select one from the browsers casino lobby and wait for it to open in a new browser window. The games may take a few minutes depending on your connection, etc. My first call was the Roulette table, which was not graphically as impressive as what your find on major software casino, but it still looks pretty flashy. Having wagered on a handful of spins I came out with a couple of winning rounds and finished a couple dollars up. After that, I toured around some other table games on offer, including Blackjack, Casino War, High Low, Baccarat and Sic Bo. Others available which I didn't grace with my presence were Blackjack single deck, and Caribbean Poker. During the table game tour I was totally impressed with the games, which worked fine and seemed to be offering a good chance of winning.

Next I sampled a couple of Mansion Casino's slots, starting with 'Safari Sam' a 5 reel x 9 liner. The game turned out to be a real joy as it offered loads of feature such as scatter bonus feature and wild, which happened to provide me with some winning spins. A very similar game I played was called Robin Hood, I also made some nice wins here and enjoyed playing the game. After sending some time on these two slots I took a quick look around the many of the other slots at the casino. It turned out there isn't a massive selection of slots at Mansion with only about 10 games, however I would recommend trying the slots mentioned above.

Mansion Casino's games portfolio is strongest with regards to video poker, having six different versions; All American, Joker Poker, Jacks or Better, Bonus Deluxe, Double Bonus, Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker and Double Jackpot. What makes Mansion's video poker stand out, is that you can select which version of poker and the number of hands you want to play either 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 (see screen shot). This is a nice feature, allowing you to customize your video poker. Unfortunately, in my case the only good hands I managed to hit seemed to happen on the small wagers.

By this point in the casino session I was a couple of dollars up on my deposit. I made two consecutive winning $25 wagers on Casino War, giving me a balance of $175 which I decided to withdraw.

To make your first withdrawal, you have to send a copy of your picture ID (e.g. passport) to the casino support. This can be a little bit of a hassle, but as it's for security reasons we can't complain. I emailed my passport but didn't hear anything from support during the next couple of days, so decided to try and withdrawal.

To my surprise the withdrawal was processed almost instantly, finding its way to my NETeller account as soon as I could login. It's rare to find an online casino so efficient on their withdrawals, and it's certainly a massive plus when you do. Mansion say allow up 24 hours for online wallets withdrawals (my experience suggests they are often less) and up three days for other methods such as credit cards.

To test out support - I gave them a call on their toll free number and was impressed with the level of customer service provided.

If you're looking for an honest, minimum hassle casino, then Mansion certainly is the one for you, it's a no-downloadable casino whose games consistently work and there's no problem with getting money out of the cashier. As a winner I left the casino with a smile on my face, and I'm sure to be back in the future.
