Zodiac Casino Review

Updated August 05 2007

Believe that your destiny is written in the stars and determined by the planets? That your fortunes are soon to change as you enjoy your favorite casino games? Then Zodiac Casino is definitely the place for you! This astrologically themed casino, complete with its stellar design which integrates the various star signs and casino aspects is really is appealing to the senses and who knows, it just may be your lucky day!

Part of the well-known and respected Casino Rewards group, Zodiac casino has been in operation for just over 4 years now and enjoys the same excellent reputation as the other casinos within this group. Powered by Microgaming and with this kind of backing, it's definitely a casino you can trust and one that I would recommend.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

There is always something for everyone at Zodiac Casino from their unique sign-up promotion to their excellent Casino Rewards VIP loyalty program.

Instead of the usual match bonus offered by most other casinos, Zodiac Casino is currently offering 50 Free Spins on the Starscape, the celestial Video Slot, with No Purchase required and you keep what you win (the catch is that you will have to deposit to claim any winnings though). In addition to this, once you have claimed your free spins, you can then increase your bonus with another offer of $40 free when you make your first purchase of $100. However terms and conditions do apply so please ensure that you read all of these carefully before accepting any offers.

Zodiac Casino also offers regular players a chance at winning $55,000 sweepstakes (simply sign up to qualify) as well as regular promotions and bonuses at the beginning of each month. There is also a Refer-a-Friend promotion on offer which works on a unique 3 tiered referral system. You have to refer on of your friends to Zodiac Casino or Casino Rewards member casino and then all you have to do is watch the money roll in as your friend wins.

Loyalty

Then of course there is the Zodiac Casino loyalty program which is actually part of the larger Casino Rewards program. Basically, when you play for real at Zodiac Casino you'll be given automatic entry to their loyalty program and awarded VIP loyalty points for your play. Every 100 points is worth $1 in casino chips. You will also be notified of numerous promotions which earn you VIP points and once you reach 1000 of these, you will be able to redeem them for real casino cash.

The great thing about this program is that under the Casino Rewards program you can combine points earned at any of the casinos in their group and redeem them at any of the member sites too.

Download and Registration

The Zodiac Casino Download is quick and easy to run with the initial application being 345KB and it shouldn't take long before it is downloaded and installed on your machine. Once that is done you will be given the option of registering either a Guest or Real User Account and will have to fill in a short registration form with a few of your personal particulars to do so.

Should you register a Guest Account you can check out and test most of the games (except progressives) with your free casino balance before depositing. Should you wish to register a Real Account you will then need to pay a visit to the cashier to make your deposit.

Banking

Zodiac Casino offers players a wide variety of major deposit options including Credit Card, Debit Card, E-Check, Neteller, Click2Pay, FirePay, Electronic Check by Citadel, PaySpark, UseMyBank, MoneyBookers, ECO Card, and Wire Transfer. You are also able to deposit US dollars, Euros, Great British Pounds and Canadian Dollars.

As with all Microgaming Casinos, banking transactions are all processed through a state of the art, highly secure encrypted system to ensure your safety and peace of mind.

I made a deposit of $100 via Neteller and immediately headed off to the casino lobby to check out the games on offer.

Games Offering

Powered by Microgaming, Zodiac Casino offers players over 170 state of the art casino games encompassing Table and Card Games, Slots, Progressive Jackpots and Video Poker.

Unable to resist the Microgaming Slots which includes all of the usual classic reel slots, and multi-line slots as well as some amazing Video slots, I started off with Avalon the mythically themed slot which transports you to the age of King Arthur. The bonus game which I entered into after only 5 short spins was highly entertaining and turned out to be quite lucrative too. Next I played Hitman which like Tomb Raider is a Video Slot based on the popular video game and maintains the same rather sinister air about it, although it's a little more fun and even though the game seemed to have a hit out on my bankroll I still enjoyed it.

Having to drag myself away from the slots I proceeded to check out the Table and Card Games section of the Zodiac Casino Lobby which is comprised of over 50 games including 16 different blackjack games, 4 roulette variations and then additional games like Poker and Craps. Not being a poker or craps fan and not really in the mood for Roulette, although the Microgaming Roulette is superb, I settled on a game of Vegas Strip blackjack and had a really good time playing and just when I was about to quit after a dismal 5 hands, I hit Blackjack!!! This was great because I really needed the funds after my flutter on the Hitman Slot.

Next I took a look at the Video Poker offering which includes quite a selection of games such as Aces and Faces, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Deuces Wild 4-line, and Mega Jacks. Not being a fan of the multi-hand poker at the moment (way too much going on and while there's a lot to win, it does get expensive!) I settled on a game of Jacks or Better and again, really enjoyed my time spent on the machine and while you can play for a few hours, I just wasn't having any luck!

With $100 left in my account I decided to play all or nothing on the Major Millions 5-reel progressive jackpot, betting the maximum of 15 coins per spin...funny how fast the money goes and alas, I didn't win a cent! And with that my evening at Zodiac casino was brought to an end.

Customer Support

Zodiac Casino offers customer support 24/7 via toll free telephone, e-mail and Live Help and on the odd occasion that I've had to deal with this team, I have never been disappointed at their professionalism and level of service.

 

The Verdict

Although I didn't win this time, I've always had good experiences at Zodiac Casino and can't really fault them on any level. With a good solid reputation in the market, unique promotional offerings, an excellent VIP program and great customer support, I have no hesitation in recommending this casino to players of any level.
