...completely different!
If you want to check out a unique casino concept, visit www.paf.fi - it's an internet betting company and casino that's based in Ahvenanmaa (land), an island on the Baltic Sea. Here's my review of the Casino. It's open to international customers as well.
One unique aspect of PAF is that it's a non-profit organization - all the profits (about 7 million eur per year) go to humanitarian and social funds (as required by Finnish law). So you can feel good about losing! It's also the only Casino I know of that's been certified by the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.
They have a decent payout%, about 97.7% for the Casino, and they have a slot machine with a 99.64% payout! Many of their games have been analyzed to death by crazy Finns hell-bent on analyzing everything...ahem.. and you can find reel setups, payouts and strategies on the net. The Joker Poker sucks at about 96%, but their progressive Jackpot multiline poker is OK when the progressive climbs above 4,700 eur -> above 100% expected return.
The only problem with paf.fi is that they don't have a comps program, and offer no bonuses usually, and the CS is sort of like William Hill - just not there - but they are extremely reliable, government regulated, and winnings are always paid very fast, directly to your bank account. They'll never pull a fast one on you.
They have a good progressive slot "Fisherman's Jackpot" which has a starting payout at 90% and often goes above 100% expected return at about 20,000 eur, and the progressive can be won on any of the 20 winning lines, which is unique.
The software is by a Finnish company named EGE, and the games come in Java and Flash versions. The software can't compete with Microgaming and RTG, and their servers are sluggish sometimes, their bonus features are annoyingly slow and overdone. Even the double feature is often a one-minute affair...but in general the games are OK.
All in all, a different casino. The main selling point to me is that even though they're out to get your money just like any other casino, they're out to put it to good use and use it to help those in need.
Cheers,
SM

I agree the e-mail support is very unresponsive. But you don't need much support with them I guess.
