EuroGrand Review

Updated February 26 2007

Playtech recently decided to withdraw from the US market, so players based in the USA cannot play at any casino powered by their software and so it only makes sense that they would release a casino that caters for European Markets...thus EuroGrand was launched recently and it's instantly recognizable that it will be a success.

Visit the homepage and you'll realize immediately that this is definitely a black tie affair, with the understated elegance and sophistication that embodies all that is European, EuroGrand Casino is highly attractive with it's gold and black color scheme and "night out" theme (don't miss the "Grand Tour"). Not only is it good to look at, but it is highly functional, easy to navigate and all the information you need is just a click away. It is also available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Dutch, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese, Finnish, Danish, and Korean which just goes to show how far they have gone out of their way to accommodate all of their players.

This casino really just oozes class and makes you want to find out just a little bit more...

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

You just can't miss EuroGrand Casinos Welcome bonus partly because it's emblazoned across the centre of their site and also because it's just phenomenally generous at €/£/$1000. Being a seasoned gambler, I decided to take a closer look at the Terms and Conditions because this just seems too good to be true. Turns out it is true and if there's a high roller in you, then I'm sure you'll be charmed, although at a single deposit of €/£/$4000 to qualify for this and wagering requirements of 15x the bonus plus the deposit amount, it's a little too rich for my blood. So I decided to have a look at what else they had on offer.

Another option at EuroGrand is their tiered bonus structure where you are eligible for a bonus of 25% up to €/£/$ 250, followed by a second deposit bonus of 60% up to €/£/$ 500 and then thirdly a bonus of 300% up to €/£/$ 300 on your third deposit. Once again terms and conditions apply and you'll be required to wager the deposit plus bonus 15x before cashing out and if you are playing in pounds 25 times.

In addition to these bonuses you will also receive between 10% and 15% extra deposit bonuses when you make your deposit using one of EuroGrand’s preferred deposit methods.

A variety of other promotions are available through the EuroGrand newsletter so make sure you sign up to receive this and you'll get special promotional offers, tournament schedules and more sent directly to your mailbox.

Loyalty

EuroGrand Casino's loyalty program works in a similar manner to most others you'll come across where for every 1 €/£/$ a player wagers at the casino, they will earn 1 Comp Point. Your comp point rate depends on your VIP level which in turn is influenced by the amount of play at the casino.

So the more you play, the higher your status will be and the more you'll earn and you are then able to cash these in for real casino cash at any time.

Download and Registration

The downloadable version of EuroGrand Casino (which I always choose where possible) downloads and Install just like any other Playtech casino where you click the "download" button and then follow the prompts to install.

The initial download is 378KB but this will be higher once everything loads. The whole process shouldn't take more than 10 minutes (depending on your connection of course) and once it's all complete you will have the option of either playing for Fun or opening a Real account.

To open a Real account follow the prompts and then fill in an online form with the required banking and personal information (don't worry, it is safe to do this) and then supply a username and password to complete the set-up of your account. You should then receive a confirmation notice and you are ready to get started!

Banking

EuroGrand casino offers quite a number of deposit methods including Credit Card, Neteller, InstaCash, FirePay, Citadel, InstaDebit, Click2Pay, UseMyBank, eWalletXpress, On Demand Funds, MoneyBookers, ECO Card, Paysafe Card, Central Coin, Solo Card, Bank Draft, as well as (Instant) Wire Transfer.

For gaming transactions I always use my Neteller account but any of these methods are just as safe and convenient and so I headed over to the cashier and made a deposit of €100 which was credited to my account and so I headed off to the games lobby to try and decide where to start and what to play.

Games Offering

EuroGrand Casino offers players over 80 games to choose from, all powered by Playtech software which ensures that they have good graphics and smooth, realistic game play. This offering includes Table and Card games, some with Live Dealers, Slots, Video Poker and Progressives as well as Arcade games (which are a whole lot of fun).

I decided to start off by playing at the Tables and chose to play Casino War for a change (I usually just play basic blackjack), and this was a refreshing change and my first few hands looked quite promising although after a good half an hour my balance started to show that I was beginning to lose the war and so I skipped over the rest of the card games which include games like poker and moved on to the table games.

I found myself steering away from the Craps and Baccarat tables toward Roulette and played the American Version for a change betting on 19 and 23 in the first round and winning when the ball finally settled on 19! That was the beginning and the end of my lucky streak and from there on I just couldn't get one single win!

I needed to cheer myself up and so I headed off to the Arcade Games which you just HAVE to see. The graphics are phenomenal and the games so entertaining that you just want to keep going back for more. You can choose from the nautical Around the World, Genies Hi-Lo Jackpot where you pick your card, Jackpot Darts where you can aim for huge cash prizes, and Bonus Bowling where you can bowl for bonuses. Then there is my all time favorite Derby Day Horse Racing which is like a day at the race course and really exciting. I couldn't resist these and played all of them making up my balance here and there but not really winning anything worth mentioning.

Realizing I had to move my next stop was the Video Poker offering and once again there are quite a few variations to choose from and most if not all will be familiar to you and include including Aces and Faces, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Deuces Wild 4-line, Mega Jacks. I played Mega Jacks and hit a mini payload of €300 and subsequently moved on to the Slots on offer.

EuroGrand Casino's new 25 line slots offer superb graphics, great bonus features and big jackpots. There are over 30 slots in total including Classic Reel slots, Multi-line slots and unique Multi-spin slots. I started off with a few rounds on the Golden Tour Video Slot which is a golf themed game that is quite entertaining followed by the underwater themed Ocean Princess, but being a creature of habit I had to play the progressives Cinerama, Safe Cracker and finally I decided to end off with something new in the form of the gold rush themed Gold Rally. All of which are superb and potentially very rewarding.

After hours of fun my bankroll finally ran out and I had to fight the urge to go back to the cashier to make yet another deposit and so I reluctantly called it a day.
