COOL NEW WEB CASINOS

There's been a dearth of well built online casinos recently, but the draught has been broken by the launch this week of two operations belonging to large, well-established groups.

Vegas Splendido Casino joins sisters Roxy Palace and the recently acquired Cabaret Club in The Palace Group using Microgaming software. It's a typically big, bold and professional MGS site carrying over 100 games of all types, including a full range of progressives. It is backed by 24 hour Support and a sophisticated banking system that embraces Neteller, Firepay and Click n Pay in US, UK, Canadian and Euro currencies. The licensing is Kahnawake, and the site has loyalty facilities, Cashcheck, Playcheck and everything the player needs. Being a new online casino, this operation does not yet qualify for the eCOGRA Seal, but the parent group is fully accredited and the services are therefore likely to be top-notch. The launch was marred by an unpleasant public spat between its owners and Vegas Red, which claimed their site had been plagiarised and resulted in some changes.

Latest from the Playtech people is 50 Stars Casino which also joins an established group - IOG Casinos Limited out of Antigua, which has just broken the record for a progressive win at $1.8 million. Sister casinos are SCasino, Casino Las Vegas, Casino King, Magic Box and Fair Poker. The presentation is workmanlike and clean with a large Playtech download gambling suite that offers a diversity of games to suit all tastes, backed by full Support facilities and a good range of financial options that includes Neteller InstaCash, Firepay, Moneybookers, 900Pay and Citadel. There is a wide range of bonuses available to encourage both newbies and loyal players - the signup is 150 percent maxed at $75, and there are interesting cashback offers such as a 20 percenter over six months, and a 125 percenter maxed at $200 on second deposits.
