Crazy Vegas Casino Review

Updated October 23 2006

One of the most popular casinos in the highly respected Vegas Partner lounge group, Crazy Vegas Casino is yet another eCogra certified, Microgaming powered casino that has found immense favor amongst players out there. There are a number of reasons for this popularity, but the main attractions are largely based on their award winning customer support, ongoing bonuses and promotional offerings as well as low betting limits on certain games.

Visit Crazy Vegas Casino and you'll be met with their logo, which is one that always sticks in my head, largely because it's characterized by an icon of a Crazy looking, smiling guy with chips and cards in the one hand and a set of craps dice in the other, which seems to have become synonymous with the Crazy Vegas brand. Other than that, the site is not the most attractive I've ever seen, but it's quite functional and has a number of attractive bonus offerings on it as well as progressive jackpot tickers which are quite irresistible!

All the general information you'll need is set out in an easy to navigate manner as are the languages and currencies available at this casino. Being an existing player at Crazy Vegas Casino for a number of years now, for the sake of this review I headed off to the promotional section of the site to find out just what new players are currently being offered.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

Currently Crazy Vegas Casino is offering what it describes as "insane" promotions. For starters, there is an incredibly high $75 free, no deposit bonus on offer, this allows you to get a feel for the casino and to play for real money before making a deposit of your own. Basically what you have to do is download the casino software, register a Real Player account and within 5-8 hours you'll get $5 credited to your account. Upon registering a credit card, you can request your additional $6 free.

The great thing about this promotion is that is can be combined with the other promotional and bonus offerings for new players, so you don't lose out. In addition to this, there is also a 100% match bonus up to $100 and within 5-8 hours of your first real deposit, your account will be credited with the relevant amount.

Continuing with the "craziness", Crazy Vegas is also giving away Free Money with every deposit you make at their Casino. Once you're a real player, you will get a Deposit Bonus of up to 15% on all your deposits, with potential earnings of up to $3000 in free money every month. But that's not all, deposit via preferred methods and you will be eligible for between 10-15% additional bonuses. Just note that these bonuses will not be credited to your first purchase match bonus but will apply for each subsequent deposit.

As usual, casino and promotional terms and conditions apply for each of these bonuses and promotions. At Crazy Vegas Casino Bonus amounts credited to a Player’s bonus account are subject to 30 times play through before they may be cashed in. Please ensure that you always read the terms and conditions before accepting any offers to ensure that there is no confusion and that you are not disappointed.

So, not being able to refute Crazy Vegas’ claims to "insane" promotions, I decided to see what they had up their sleeve when it came to their loyalty program.

Loyalty

The Crazy Vegas Casino Loyalty Program is for the most part similar to the other Microgaming Loyalty programs out there where the more you play, the more points you earn and the more free tokens you receive in return. The nice thing about Crazy Vegas Casino is that you start with 250 loyalty points when opening a real account (you are automatically registered). Once again, terms and conditions apply and games are weighted, meaning that some count more than others, for example, blackjack does not count at all and slots count triple (300%). But all in all I can tell you that this is a good scheme and you'll be amazed at how quickly those points add up to some free money which goes along way at the end of the month!

Download and registration

Crazy Vegas Casino uses the VIPER online gambling platform developed by Microgaming Software, which could be considered to be the most realistic and cutting-edge internet gaming software out there. Like most Microgaming casinos, Crazy Vegas offers you the choice of playing on the full download version of the casino, or on the no download Flash version with both fun and real play modes. As usual, I'd recommend the download version as it just offers so much more in terms of games variety and numbers.

The download and installation of this casino doesn't take more than a few minutes (if memory serves me correctly) and all you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions and prompts. After this is complete you will have to register an account by providing some personal information and will receive a username and password to your account.

Once all that's done you'll be ready to play!

Banking

As I mentioned earlier, I already have an account at Crazy Vegas and so all that was necessary was a login and I went straight to the cashier to make my deposit of my usual $100 via Neteller.

However, Crazy Vegas Casino also accepts Credit Card, Wire Transfer, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Solo/Switch/Delta Card, Citadel and Paysafe Card, with various deposit bonuses on each of these.

All financial transactions are process with 128-bit encryption through the services of Borth Holdings Ltd and PROC-CYBER-SERVICES - a gaming industry standard and authority electronic online cash merchant which means that you never have to worry about the safety and security of your cash when dealing with this casino.

That said, I was off to check out the games...

Games Offering

Like most Microgaming Casinos, Crazy Vegas Casino offers a huge variety of games (currently standing at over 250 and counting!) with new games being added on a monthly basis.

I decided that for a change I'd start with Blackjack, and always find it difficult to choose a game from the variety on offer which includes single, multi-hand and bonus varieties. I decided to start off with Triple 7's with offers quite a generous bonus. Betting limits on Blackjack usually vary from about $1 upwards with a separate table for highrollers with considerably higher betting limits.

I was up and down on the blackjack tables for the better part of an hour, but really had a lot of fun as the games are graphically very well designed and game play is smooth with a good pace. Finishing $100 dollars up I moved on to the table games on offer and tried my hand at Red Dog, 3 Card and Cyberstud Poker, then moved on to Sic Bo, Craps and finally Baccarat. I really didn't have much luck on any of these and decided they probably needed a lot more time and practice in future.

Moving on I finally came to the slots on offer, and I was truly impressed at the offering. Crazy Vegas Casino has everything from single to multi-line, reel to video and progressive slots, and you're spoilt for choice within each of these sub-categories. I decided to play Loaded, which I haven't done in a while and as usual this game paid off. Next I tried the Wheel of Fortune Slot which is based on the Wheel of Fortune game found in many Las Vegas casinos, but although I got quite lucky, I didn't enjoy it as much as the real thing. So I moved on to some of the newly added games and had hours of fun on Avalon, The Age of Discovery and once again, Dolphin's Tale.

To finish off I moved on to the video poker machines which always seem to give my bankroll a kick. Once again, the offering at Crazy Vegas was pretty impressive (in fact it requires a separate menu to pack in their entire selection). I started off with Joker Poker and then moved on to Jacks or Better and literally spent another hour or so playing.

Deciding that I'd be back soon I didn't cashin straight away, but from past experience I can assure you that cashin's are handled quickly and efficiently and your money will be back in your account relatively quickly.

Customer Support

As I mentioned previously, Crazy Vegas Casino has been the recipient of numerous Customer Service awards from leading player polls for their overall professionalism, responsiveness, honesty and courtesy.

As part of the Vegas Partner Lounge group, Crazy Vegas as part of their network welcomes player contact via e-mail, live chat and telephone with operators available 24/7, all of which is run and overseen by VPL themselves. I don't have anything but praise for their call centre and customer support staff, in all my dealings with them they have been phenomenal, proving that they are worth every inch of their rewards!

The Verdict

This casino just has the right combination of promotional and games offerings and service. I have continually been delighted with it and I'm sure you'll experience the same time and time again. If you miss it, you're definitely missing out.
