Casino Splendido Review

Updated March 25 2008

Casino Splendido is certainly that...splendid! This casino was launched in 2005 and received the best new casino award for that year, since then they have grown tremendously, undergone a very sexy yet classy makeover and just seem to be going from strength to strength! They are powered by the Microgaming on the Viper software platform, which means that they get new games on a regular basis, so you get to play all the best games immediately.

We have been working with their sister casino Roxy Palace, for many years now and as anybody who has ever played there will tell you, they are a solid and very professional outfit who are committed to customer service which ensures that you will only ever be delighted with your game play here. Based on this, as well as the fact that Casino Splendido is one of the few Microgaming powered casinos that offers fully translated software and support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Swedish, and was one of the first casinos to obtain a European license, it really has become one of the most popular places for players all over the world to play.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

Casino Splendido is currently offering a 100% sign-up bonus of up to $120 in Free money to all new real money players on your initial deposit of $20 or more. By depositing and wagering your deposited amount (to a maximum of $120) once in full, you will receive the 100% match bonus on your first deposit...this is really a great promotion as most other casinos have ridiculous terms and conditions associated to their bonuses, which Casino Splendido doesn't. What's more is that your casino account will be credited with your bonus within 45 minutes of qualifying...now that is fast and efficient service!

In addition to their sign-up bonus, Casino Splendido also has a number of promotions available which are advertised in their bi-weekly promotional mailers, such as their weekly Slots Magic competition, Additional player's club points on certain games during promotional periods as well as some great prizes! So make sure you sign up for these and don't miss out!

Loyalty

The Casino Splendido Player's Club is one of the most advanced online casino loyalty programs around. Whereas other programs just award points for play, with their program you earn bonus points and move into different tiers with bigger benefits including special promotional offerings and more, so make sure you look out for these in your inboxes.

Another great thing is that from the minute you start playing for Real money at this casino, you will become a member of their loyalty program and will start earning points right away which is great as there is no need for you to have to go through the hassle of registering like you have to do at many other places.

Download and Registration

Casino Splendido offers both Download and Instant play Flash versions of the casino...what's the difference you ask? Well, the only difference is that the Flash version of the casino currently offers a few less games than the download version of the casino, so for larger selections, it is advisable that you download the casino software. Surprisingly though, the Flash version doesn't experience the lapses in game play that some others do, so if you decide to go with this, you won't be disappointed either!

I have the software downloaded already, but if you don't all you have to do is select the download prompt on the casino homepage and then follow the prompts to complete the download and installation. They have recently increased the bandwidth on the casino side, so this whole process shouldn't take more than a few minutes (also note that you can download the casino in your preferred language and the software is fully translated which is really unique!).

Once this is done you can either play for fun or register a real account to start playing for real money.

Banking

When it comes to banking, security is a top priority and Casino Splendido makes use of sophisticated encrypted systems for all transactions. They also make sure that you make your deposit quickly and easily, offering a range of convenient deposit options including Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Click2Pay, Firepay, eCheck, MoneyBookers, UseMyBank, Payspark and Citadel. Deposits can be made in US or Canadian Dollars, Euros or British Pounds.

I made my deposit of $200 via Neteller, which was credited instantly and then made my way to the casino to have some fun!

Games Offering

With over 250 games on offer, Casino Splendido offers players a wide variety of games to choose from including, Card and Table Games, Video Poker, Reel, Video and progressive slots and more, all powered by Microgaming which means that the graphics are truly amazing! In addition to this, Casino Splendido also launched 4 new games every month, so every time you visit there is something new to play!

I started off with a few hands of Multi-hand Blackjack and while I was on a winning streak moved over to the Roulette tables and then the craps tables, all of which are well designed with smooth game play. The one thing I did notice was that the betting limits on this casino are quite low in comparison to some others, so high rollers might not be so happy about that. After a number of bets that weren't as fruitful as my hands in Blackjack I decided to move on and take a look at what the casino had to offer in terms of Video Poker. When it comes to Video Poker, Casino Splendido offers over 20 video and power poker games with multi-hand play of up to 100 cards at a time on games like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Tens or Better, Double Joker Power Poker and many more. I elected to play Deuces Wild and as always really enjoyed the fact that you can play this game for hours without losing all of your money!

Next it was on to the Slots, I have always been a Tomb Raider fan and so I just had to try out the new Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword Video Slot, being re-united with Lara Croft in yet another exciting game, which, if I dare say so, is just as good as the original. So good in fact that I had to tear myself away from it to try any other games. I then played the new Rainbow's end Video Slot which is also good as well as Gypsy Queen classic slot (but to be fair, everything paled in comparison to the new Tomb Raider game as this point). So I ended up blowing my entire balance on Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword, which was worth every single penny!

Customer Support
