Royal Dutch Online Casino - New Managment And Software

NEW MANAGEMENT AND SOFTWARE IN JANUARY

Serious revamp at Royal Dutch Casino

Players who had unhappy experiences at the "old" IQ-Ludorum powered Royal Dutch Casino will be watching it's Phoenix-like rise from the ashes with interest come January 2005.

E-Ingenium Gaming LDT of Costa Rica has taken over management, and there's a new, download gambling software suite from Diamond Digital which boasts 16 table and card games, 17 slots and 7 VPs.

Royal Dutch has been operational since January 2004 with mixed fortunes, but in January 2005 the new site will be re-launched with what E-Ingenium claims are much improved facilities. These include 24/7 Support via telephone, email and livechat, a good range of financial options for players, a loyalty program and a download and registration process that is fast and easy.

A company spokesman says the new games selection will include multi-hand blackjack, European roulette, slots, baccarat, and Caribbean poker, all with favourable characteristics. For example, in Blackjack players can double down on any two cards, double down after splits, split each hand up to two times, and split on any two equal valued cards. The dealer draws a hole card and holds on soft-17.

We are told that the sign-up bonus will be particularly atractive as Royal Dutch builds up its player base. A matchplay bonus will be available, maxed at a dangerously generous cap of $1 000. WT requirements were not available as we went to press.

The new-look Royal Dutch is promising a lot, and only time will tell whether they are delivering what the players really want - fast and reliable payouts, responsive management and fair gaming. Doubts have been expressed in the past about Diamond Digital software, and the company has been low-profile for most of this year...it is to be hoped that DDS has attended to the areas on which it was criticised.
