Silver Dollar Casino Review

Updated March 25 2008

There is just something so appealing about the Wild West and the excitement of the Gold Rush that inspired those times. With this in mind, Silver Dollar Casino has adapted its casino to a funky western theme which does look a lot better than most that try it. Let's face it, Western themes are very difficult to pull off, even by the best groups without looking very cheap but somehow this casino has managed not only to pull off the look, but has also managed to perfect the feel and atmosphere, making you want to whip out your cowboy hat for an evening of fun and excitement!

Silver Dollar Casino has been online since 1997 making it a relative veteran in the online casino industry and is run by the highly respected English Harbour Casino Group. Due to their wealth of experience over the years, this group and their casino properties are able to offer players one of the best casino experiences out there.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

Silver Dollar Casino certainly has no shortage of amazing giveaways and special offers available and at any given time you could end up winning anything from a car to thousands of dollars. Whilst other promotions give you free money to play with or the opportunity to multiply your bonus points.

This casino is currently offering a 110% sign up bonus up to $110.00 on your first deposit (please note that the minimum qualifying deposit is $50.00). All Bonuses must be wagered a minimum of 20 (twenty) times before any withdrawal, which is pretty fair and reasonable when compared to other casinos that often ask between 35 and 50 times.

For regular players, Silver Dollar Casino also arranges a variety of Slots and Table Games Tournaments where you can pit your skills against other casino players in competition for prizes made up of a combination of casino credits and real cash which are awarded automatically immediately following the end of the tournament. All you have to do is check the tournaments link at the casino and then register for the one you are interested in, choose an alias and play...it really is so much fun and can be very rewarding if you end up winning.

And the fun doesn't stop here; if you're a loyal member at this casino they have a whole lot more in store for you...

Loyalty

Like most other casinos, Silver Dollar Casino's loyalty program works on comp points where you can earn daily rewards points when playing at the casino and then these are converted to casino cash and credited to your account on a daily basis. Every $1 wagered earns a comp point and points are converted at the rate of $1 per 1,000 comp points accumulated. Also bear in mind that if you make a higher deposit you earn double points.

Silver Dollar also offers a monthly Loyalty Bonus of 5% on every deposit to a maximum of $100 as part of this program. In addition they also offer level 3 players and above Weekly Deposit Bonuses where you can claim up to $750 in bonuses every week! They work as follows: Every Monday you will receive a 25% bonus on your first deposit of the day up to $250. Then on Wednesdays you will receive a 50% bonus on your first deposit of the day, again up to $250. And if that wasn't enough, on Fridays you will receive a 100% bonus up to $350 on your first deposit of the day. That's definitely something worth sticking around for and is really is a nice touch in addition to the comp points.

Download and Registration

Silver Dollar Casino is powered by Odds-on software, which is one of the lesser known software types but can still hold its own amongst the others out there. You do have the option of playing on either the Flash or download version of the casino, although this is definitely one where I would recommend the download, just for the fact that it has more to offer. The flash version is really a mini version of the casino. The one thing I do like is that for those not wanting to download the casino from the website, Silver Dollar Casino offers players the option of ordering the software on CD from the website. The only downside is that you then have to wait for it to arrive and if you're as impatient as me you'd prefer to play straight away!

Should you choose to download the casino, please be prepared...it's quite a large download, 11mb in total and it may take a while, so use the time to look around at the rest of the casino website. Once the download is complete, all you have to do is follow the prompts to install the software and then you will be presented with the new player registration which is very straight forward, requiring you to fill in the standard electronic form with your personal details.

Banking

Silver Dollar Casino offers players Credit Card, eCheck, Neteller, Firepay, Moneybookers, Wire Transfer, and Check as deposit methods at the casino; however they only accept deposits in US dollar at present.

I logged into my casino account and deposited the usual $100 via Firepay this time and then made my way to the casino to check out the games.

Games Offering

While Silver Dollar Casino does not have a huge selection of games within each genre, they do have all of the varieties that you would be interested in playing including Table and Card Games, Video Poker and slots. With over 85 games, the casino boasts a rich graphics interface and smooth game play with a variety of features.

Another thing you will notice at this casino is that they offer betting limits of as low as $2 up to $200 per hand/spin which is really good news, because they cater for players with all pockets. I decided to play Blackjack first and was quite impressed at the quality and speed of the game play. I started off with a few terrible hands but as the game progressed they improved and I walked away from the table with an extra $100.

Next up I decided to play Video poker, and could find all of the standard games on offer including Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, and Double Joker poker. I settled on Aces and Faces and as usual was impressed at the quality of the Odds on software. After losing $50 I decided to move on to the slots offering, which is not as big as other casinos out there but is good enough to keep you coming back for more. I ended up deciding to play a couple of their progressive games, which often have jackpots in excess of $1 million dollars. I spent the rest of the evening playing Treasure Trail, and Mega Money Mine which are both excellent and highly entertaining games.

After a truly fun-filled evening I decided to call it a night and cash in the $200 I'd won, and within 48 hours the money was back in my account.

Customer Support

Silver Dollar Customer support teams are available 24/7 via telephone and email. The support is very fast and professional which to me is more important than almost anything that any casino has to offer. I have tested them on a few occasions and I was answered to my satisfaction every single time. I also tested at different times of the day simply to check the different shifts - to see if the night shift is as good as the day shift - both impressed me equally!

The Verdict

Silver Dollar Casino is definitely a place you have to try out! It is refreshingly different and a whole lot of fun. Not only is the casino "make up" really awesome but the games and software are excellent too! The promotions, competitions and monthly bonuses are also nothing to be scoffed at and all in all this casino is really very cool and I'd highly recommend it to everyone.
