More and more online casinos are appearing in today’s climate, despite struggling economies throughout the world. Corporations like Global Entertainment Antigua Limited (GEAL) are growing and implementing fair and exciting new games for the public to enjoy.

At Carlos Casino, the measures taken to improve gaming experience shines through. The site places a great deal of emphasis on the payment system. This makes for easier and faster payouts, as well as a more secure payment structure. The casino has been around since 2003, but has recently made improvements in the way it operates. GEAL are officially under the laws of Antigua as of 2006 and are also licensed in Costa Rica.

Carlos Casino’s software is somewhat unique to the online gaming world. They use Evolution Gaming and NetEnt software, which is used by a group of 15 other sites. Although the software brand isn’t a giant of the field, it still provides a decent selection of fun, fair and realistic games. The casino is available in multiple languages, including English, Turkish, Greek, French, German, Finnish, Spanish, and more.

The site’s support features are lacking overall. Although they have an easy-to-use "Helpdesk" feature, with a thorough FAQ section, the only way to contact Carlos Casino for inquiries is to send an email.

There’s a decent and original selection of games on the website, but there aren’t many to choose from. You will find your favorites like video poker, slot machines, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, craps, and a few other choices, but there’s no abundance of games. There is a quick-play feature however, so you won’t have to download software, and there are also a few Lottery Games - Carlos’ version of progressive jackpots.

As a welcome bonus, Carlos Casino is offering a 44% bonus of up to €44. It isn’t a lucrative bonus, especially when compared to some other casinos, but it is an extra €44 that you can play with immediately. The rules are as follows: you must wager at least 60-times the sum of the original bonus amount in order to withdraw. This is really the only bonus the site has going.

There are some bonus games taking place in the form of scheduled tournaments. These games happen nearly every day and range from video poker to blackjack and everything in between.

The payment options for the casino are slim, especially if you live in an accepted country that still has various restrictions on e-wallets and other online payment options. In order to deposit with Carlos Casino, you will need MasterCard, Visa or Neteller. Although there may be a few more options, depending on when you sign up, these are the options for the time being.

Pros: The software used is unique and makes for a good gaming experience. The site is very secure and has a quick payout structure (bonus notwithstanding).

Cons: No USA players; limited game selection; limited payment options; no legitimate bonuses to entice action; and there’s really no support on the site to speak of whatsoever outside of an email address.
