Vegas Red Casino Review

Vegas Red Casino is one of four online casinos owned by the major software provider Playtech, the other three being Casino Tropez, Del Rio Casino and Europa Casino. These are all well thought of casinos, so I thought that I should give Vegas Red Casino a visit.

What's worth noting for non native English speakers is this that the casino download is available in numerous languages, including German, Korean, French, Spanish, English and many others. This review is based on the download version, but there is also a non download (Flash) version available. I took a quick look around the non download version, which takes only a matter of minutes to get up and running and has attractive gaming graphics.

On this occasion the download process took a good ten minutes, but has to be said that my internet connection wasn't running at its usual speed on the day. If you do face any problems with the download, then a step by step guide is available on the casino website. One disappointment which I encountered with the website, was every time I closed the site a pop up window asked me if I would like to visit another casino, on selecting 'cancel', I was directed to a casino promotional page anyway (casinos affiliated to Vegas Red). Personally I just not think this good practice by a casino, and certainly became irritating after several visits to the web site.

Once you have the casino up and running, you find the registration process is quick and easy. There's an extensive range of options for making deposits into your real money account, I took the NETeller payment option and the transaction was competed instantly. The casino can be played for fun, meaning with pretend money, allowing the paper to sample the games before you put your money on the table. This is regular for online casinos, but what I discovered with Vegas Red is you can play for fun without connecting to the internet (this must be case for all Playtech casinos). This is nice bonus if you have a notebook and want to play some casino games without hooking up to the internet, so on this account it could be worth downloading the casino for the free software even if you have no intent on playing for real.

Now theirs a couple of promotion options for the first deposit player to choose from, a massive $888 bonus and 100% match bonus up to the value of $200. I took up the 100% match bonus with a $100 deposit, giving a balance of $200 dollar to play with. What has to be pointed at from the start with first deposit 100% match bonus (and some other bonus money) at Vegas Red casino is that they are only 'playable' bonuses. Meaning that they cannot be withdrawal under any circumstances, you can only withdrawal winnings that you make from the deposit. Yet, wagering requirements still have to be meet before you can withdrawal any of your winnings and deposit, in the case of the 100% match bonus a wagering requirement of 8x the deposit and the bonus. In my opinion this doesn't make the bonus offer the most attractive offer on the net and any player taking up a bonus at Vegas Red should take a look at the terms and conditions, as should be done at all online casinos.

At the time of playing the casino was hosting a promotion on comps, offering a disproportionate larger comp to dollar conversion rate the more comps you earn on slots, for example 100 comps earns you $10, while 700 comps equals $100 bonus. The bonus has a fare wagering requirement of x5. There are plenty of nice promos like these available, for example the latest offers visit Vegas Reds promotional page on the website.

So I started my gaming session having a few small spins on a couple of slots, one of which was a 5 liner 5 reel called Fruitmania. Testing the water I made a couple of $1.75 bets and only on my second spin I got a nice little of win near on $15 dollar. At the time the game was flashing a progressive jackpot of $28,000, thus I more then tempted to give the machine some more spins of the reel. After a few minutes of playing I left the game, having had some nice little wins and making a bit of profit overall. Next on the agenda was Vacation Station and 8 liner 3 reel slots. I made some larger wagers here, and only managed to get one win above what I was wagering out of the hand full of spins I played. Hence I came to conclusion it was time to move on and decided to move and try some others games at the casino.

Vegas Red Casino hosts a large collection of arcade games I choose to start my gaming on Jackpot Darts. It's basically a darts stimulation game, whereby you wager on where the three darts will land on the board. You can get odds as short as x2.2 for two singles out of three darts, and as long as x125 for one hitting the inner bulls eye (bet limits from 10 cent to $100). You can also bet on the score range that the three darts will make, and go for the progressive jackpot. When I was on the board, there was a $94,000 progressive jackpot up for grabs. The jackpot can be won, if all three darts hit the inner or outer bulls eye. Another arcade game I spent some time playing was called Bonus Bowling. Spending some serious time gambling on Vegas Reds arcades games, I then took a tour around some of the video poker machines.

There are 13 table games to choose from in the lobby and all the casino favourites are on offer, only a handful can be mentioned here. The first port of call was Blackjack Live version, which is one of four games offered with LIVE dealers at Vegas Red Casino. On the few hands that I played on the table I was lucky enough to pull out winning hands every time and a one blackjack. However, the game is deadly slow and my patient was running short at the time so I made an early exist from table. The next table on the agenda turned out to be Pai Gow Poker. What has to be said, I really hit some luck on this game and pulled out some nice wins on my larger hands, please see pictures. I was quite happy to play on this table for well over forty minutes and was more then pleased to walk away with a $75 heavier balance. Thereafter another table game which I paid some attention too was Red Dog, where unfortunately I dropped a few dollars on the cards.

By this time I had more then meet my waging requirements on the sign up bonus and was $30 up. I decided to take a bit of a gamble on blackjack, but ended up down on the session. So I decided to test the withdrawal process and take out $101, dropping the $100 'for play' only bonus. I waited three days and as my withdrawal had not been processed, I decided to send an email to support inquiring on its progress. Customer support politely replied within hours to inform me that the withdrawal would take up to three more days to be completed. True to their word the money was in my NETeller account within the time they promised. While it may have taken some time for the withdrawal to be completed on this occasion, the casino website indicates that regular players which are invited into the VIP club are privileged with faster withdrawals (one day for NETeller). As well as more attractive comp conversion rates and access exclusive VIP promotions.

Vegas Red is operating a professional casino, with great software, customer service, promotions and cashier and is a establishment that I can recommend to the reader While the first deposit bonus is a disappointment, there are plenty of fare promotions for anyone who wants to play more regular.
