Aspinalls Casino Review

Updated July 18 2007

Aspinall's Online casino was originally launched as an extension of the land based casino giant early in 2000 but did not perform as well as expected, was then acquired by a Playtech group

two years later and more recently, by the Vegas Partner Lounge Group. The recent takeover made the world of difference and we hope to see Aspinall's around for many years to come.

Powered by Microgaming, this Casino has a crisp, classy, businesslike look and feel that is very appealing in an understated way promoting more of a "lifestyle" than just a brand. Right from the start all you need is laid out at your fingertips and you don't have to go searching for information, it's just a click away, which is great if you're new to the casino.

Aspinall's casino unfortunately does not allow US players due to current legislation but does make provision for everyone else offering English, German, Spanish, French and Italian versions of the casino.

Having played at Aspinall's a couple of times in the past, I cannot remember one experience I didn't enjoy and so a chance to revisit the casino and see if the Vegas Partner Lounge were maintaining their high standards was a welcome opportunity.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

Being an existing player at this casino, I could not claim any of the Welcome Bonuses on offer, but I decided to check out what they had on offer anyway and I was impressed...

First off, Aspinall's is currently offering a 100% Match Bonus up to £200 on your first deposit, which is a very generous offering compared some of the other Microgaming Casinos out there although there wagering requirements are also higher than some of the others, so it all really balances out.

In addition to their generous sign up bonus, Aspinall's Casino also offers regular, ongoing deposit bonuses whereby you qualify for a 15% deposit bonus up to £3000 when depositing via Neteller, UsemyBank, Moneybookers, Money Transfer or Wire Transfer. Alternatively when you deposit into your casino account using Ukash, Paysafecard, Eco Card, Ezipay or Click2Pay they'll give you a 10% deposit bonus – which means you can get up to £2000 free. And if that's not enough you can also use your Debit Card, Visa / Master Card or Instadebit and you'll get a 5% deposit bonus up to £2000 free!

In addition to these bonuses, Aspinall's casino also offers a "Refer a friend" program where you can get up to 20% of your friend’s deposits to play with and then there are also the surprise bonuses that the casino gives out from time to time...so the more you play, the more chance you stand of being surprised! These are my favorites as they are generally very generous and ensure that you keep having loads of fun.

Please ensure that you read the Terms and Conditions for each of these bonuses and promotional offerings before accepting these.

Loyalty

In addition to great welcome bonuses and promotional offerings, Aspinalls online casino also boasts a good, automatic entry Loyalty Program where the perks are outstanding.

The minute you open a real account at this casino you will automatically be credited with 250 loyalty points and then, like most other casinos, for every $10 you bet you earn 1 loyalty point, so once again, the more you play the more you earn. Loyalty points can be redeemed for Casino Cash at any point all you have to do is visit the cashier...oh and be aware that once again, terms and conditions also apply.

Download and Registration

As with most Microgaming casinos, Aspinalls offers both a download and Flash (no download) version for players to choose from. Both are excellent quality although the download version obviously has more games to choose from as well as a few extra bells and whistles in the software.

The download is quick and simple and you should be ready to play in minutes...the flash version is instant and doesn't take up any space on your PC...so the choice is really just a matter of personal preference.

To register an account you will need to furnish Aspinalls with the usual personal information including full name, address, telephone number and e-mail address amongst a few others and you'll soon be ready to play.

Banking

When playing at Aspinall's deposit methods include Credit Card, Neteller, Citadel, myCitadel, Money Transfer, Bank Wire, eWalletXpress, Click2Pay and Moneybookers.

Transactions are handled safely and securely using a state of the art encryption service for your peace of mind. I decided to deposit £200 via Click2Pay and within minutes I was off to the casino lobby.

Games Offering

As with all Microgaming powered casinos, Aspinall's online casino offers an outstanding variety of graphically superior games including Table and Card Games, Video Poker, Slots and a variety of high paying Progressive games. There is definitely something for everyone and I can assure you that you will be totally absorbed from the minute you play.

I tried my hand at the Slots, starting off with Loaded and then moving on to the Golden Goose series and played them all! With bonus and free spins features these games are a total delight and you can hardly tear yourself away.

On the Table Games front I chose Vegas Strip blackjack and after a few bad hands ended up being stripped of some cash which I luckily made back on the European Roulette Gold table.

Next I played a couple of Video Poker games starting with Jacks or Better and then moving on to Aces and Faces and then to Deuces wild power poker which turned out to be a real winner.

Deciding to finish off big, I headed for the progressives and played Major Millions, my balance soaring and then crashing down. With a few pounds left I hit King Cashalot and had a great deal of fun, but put the last of my bankroll into this machine.

Not needing to cashout this time I decided to call it a night but I can honestly say that even though I didn't win, I was thoroughly impressed and had a terrific time.

Customer Support

Last on my agenda was to test the Customer support at Aspinall's online casino and I'm happy to report that I really couldn't find fault with it even though I threw some rather tricky questions out.

The Aspinall's support team is available 24/7 via toll free telephone, E-mail and Live support and they really are a fast, friendly and efficient bunch.

The Verdict

Two thumbs up...Aspinall's despite the various acquisitions and re-acquisitions that have occurred has managed to maintain a sense of excellence and really does offer you a lifestyle of choice. That said, I would highly recommend this casino to you...play today and see for yourself.
