Europa Casino Review

Updated February 22 2007

Sister casino to the likes of casino giants Vegas Red and Casino Tropez, Europa casino is yet another themed casino belonging to the renowned Casino Partners Group which has been in the industry for some time now and has built up a good reputation amongst webmasters and players alike.

There are no prizes for what theme you'll be met with when visiting Europa casino but it is quite a sight in itself where you'll behold not only Big Ben but the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Arc de Triomphe. The site look and feel oozes with classic European sophistication and all the information you could need is at your fingertips. You'll also notice a variety of flags at the top of the site which represent the languages the casino offers, and how truly international their brand has become.

And then of course the thing you just can't miss is the bonus...

Welcome Bonus and Promotional offerings

Currently, Europa Casino is offering a $2,400 bonus...but before you get too excited, this is an annual rather than once off welcome bonus and translates into you receiving a 100% bonus (up to $100) on your first deposit each month on top of the weekly bonuses on offer. You will also be required to wager at least 8 times your bonus plus deposit per monthly bonus, so be aware of this before you accept this offer.

In addition to the Annual Welcome Bonus, Europa Casino is also offering a $500 High Roller Welcome bonus, so if you believe you enjoy the finer things in life and are a high roller you can make your first deposit of $1000 or more via one of the casinos preferred payment methods and Europa Casino will instantly credit your account with a $500 bonus, on top of which you'll be instantly considered for a VIP membership. As usual, terms and conditions do apply and you are required to wager at least twelve times your play bonus plus deposit before withdrawing.

Europa Casino also offers $25 weekly loyalty bonuses which you will be eligible for if you deposit at least $75 and earned at least 250 comp points each week. And there are 15% extra deposit bonuses if you deposit via Europa Casinos preferred payment options.

You will also receive a number of promotions and even notifications in your mail box so make sure you check this regularly so that you don't miss out.

Europa Casino has one of the most comprehensive loyalty programs around offering Loyalty bonuses, a VIP Club and Player Comps as well as an Open-Ear Forum for you to give your input and feedback.

Also, if you join the VIP program you can earn even more! Europa Casino offers five VIP levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.

Download and Registration

The download process at Europa Casino is relatively fast with the initial application being 480KB and only taking a few minutes on a broadband connection. Once the download is complete, you just follow the prompts to install the software and then you need to open a player account. This is done by providing personal and banking details on a secure page and then entering a username and password.

Once your account is set up all you need to do is head on over to the cashier to make your first deposit.

Banking

Casino Europa offers a vast number of payment options including Credit Card, Visa Electron, Delta Card, ePassporte, Neteller, Instacash, Citadel, myCitadel, FirePay, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, ECO Card, eWalletXpress, UseMyBank, Instadebit, Central Coin, On Demand Funds, Paysafe Card, Bank Draft, (Instant) Wire Transfer, and Ukash.

The banking on this site is completely secure and you don't have to worry about the safety of your transactions when playing here. I made my deposit of €100 via Neteller, which was credited to my account immediately and then I headed off to the casino lobby.

Games Offering

Europa Casino uses the renowned Playtech casino software suite, which has wonderful playability, great features and is a graphic pleasure.

The Casino Lobby is an experience in itself and gives you a sense of excitement...and with over 80 games, including Table and Card Games, Slots, Video Poker and Keno as well as Bonus and Progressive Games to choose from you're sure to find a number of variations in what you are looking for.

I started off with a few hands of Blackjack, and I must say the graphics were excellent and the game play very smooth with a nice pace. I then moved on to the Roulette Table where I had a sudden streak of luck, winning on 5 bets. With a bit of a bank balance boost I then decided to try my hand at Caribbean Poker which is quite entertaining although I never seem to do well at poker for some reason!

I then headed off to take a look at the Video Poker machines on offer, and found that they have quite a wide variety including Joker Poker, Aces and Faces, Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, 2 Ways Royal, Tens or Better and Megajacks. I started off with Aces and Faces and after seeing my balance rise and fall for about 30 minutes moved on to Deuces Wild where I go lucky once again and made up for my losses on poker.

Next I decided to check out the Slots as these are usually my favorite games and once again I was pleasantly surprised at the offering where you can choose from 3 and 5 Reel, Multi-line slots, Bonus Feature Slots and Video Slots. I headed straight to the Video Slots and chose to start with Captain's treasure, and then moved onto Chinese Kitchen which is really entertaining and of course, the name is self explanatory. After that it was on to my all time favorite Playtech game Cinerama, which is also a bonus, progressive game with a movie themed where you can play up to 5 lines. The game was pretty rewarding and I picked up a tidy €200 making me break even again after all the prior slots play, although I didn't hit the jackpot!

After a thoroughly rewarding experience, I decided to cashout. This was pretty quick and easy and within a few days the money was right back in my Neteller account.

Customer Support

In all my experiences at this casino I have very seldom needed to contact support but on the odd occasion that I have, I've been satisfied with the level of service I've received.

The support team is available 24/7 via email or a number of toll-free phone numbers.

The Verdict

If you're into playing at Playtech casinos, then I'd definitely recommend Europa Casino. They offer great bonuses (although make sure you read the Terms and conditions), have a fantastic loyalty club and their games interfaces are really imaginative and appealing.

With safe, secure banking and good customer support you just can't go wrong.
