Vegas Casino Online - May 2013 Casino of the Month

Vegas Casino Online brings the real life gaming experience of Las Vegas to your home computer. Since gambling first became popular in Sin City, millions upon millions have made the trek and tried their luck at a live casino game. Since the internet opened a more convenient door in the mid 90s, that number has grown even larger. Vegas Casino offers fair and fun games while placing a strong importance on security. The casino is licensed with Cyprus, and is Technical Systems Testing certified. Breaking a common trend of online gaming venues in today’s industry, Vegas Casino Online is even allowing U.S. players to participate in the action.

This site, though available to a rather large audience, is English-speaking only, and caters mostly to North America - the U.S.A. and Canada. Although the numbers of European citizens compared to the number of U.S. citizens makes America appear small in the gaming world, over 60% of all online gaming revenue comes from the U.S.; the number’s still competitive with gaming restrictions. Needless to say, North America is a gigantic market, so Vegas Casino Online isn’t suffering.

Vegas Casino Online has a decent amount of support, offering a Live Support feature, email addresses, and toll-free phone numbers for the United States and Canada. The support is available 24/7 for help with depositing, downloading, bonuses, or another other problem you may have. There is also a thorough FAQ section to look at for minor issues.

The entire front page of the casino is taken up by a huge banner for the site’s $500 Welcome Bonus. The bonus structure tends to be a bit complicated when you get into it. Instead of simply giving you a deposit match of up to $500 or throwing some free money your way in that sum, Vegas Casino offers a 125% initial deposit bonus. If you deposit between $20 and $100, you’ll receive the 125% bonus. Or if you deposit from $101 to $100,000, you will receive $125 free on the first $100 plus an extra 25%. There’s also a Preferred Method bonus that gives you a 15% boost for using one of the site’s chosen deposit methods: Neteller, Instadebit, or eWalletXpress.

The progressive jackpots at Vegas Casino Online aren’t as rich as some of the competition, but they’re basically still the slot and video poker varieties made famous by online casinos. Other games include Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, War, Craps, Video Poker, Slots, and more. There are over 90 games in total at the casino, and most are available via the Instant Play, no-download version.

The depositing and withdrawing methods here are rather vast for an “American” casino, but it’s still a good idea to check to see which method will work best for you. You have Money Order, eWalletXpress, MasterCard/Visa, Debit, ClickandBuy, Neteller, Moneybookers, and Instadebit as your options.

Pros: U.S. players allowed; good support, good graphics, and plenty of deposit options.

Cons: The bonus is complicated and it’s not even worth going for the complete $500 offered, not to mention that the casino’s lacking in all-around promotions.
