Harrods Casino. Great Service.

mitch · Jan 12, 2005

<div class="bbWrapper">Just want to give a big <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/thumbsup.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbsup :thumbsup:" data-shortname=":thumbsup:" /> to Harrods.<br /> <br /> Right from my first contact with them they have delivered a great service.<br /> <br /> Initially I had problems downloading their software. However they did everything possible to solve the problem even getting Jody from their CS to post to this forum with possible solutions. Eventually their 'techies' e-mailed me a link to a site which gave the solution and I was able to alter my computer software enabling me to download their software as well as solve problems I had had with other casino downloads <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> .<br /> <br /> The casino then gave me a free bonus of 50 for persevering with them. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> I recently made a largish cashin and they requested ID (I had made previous cashins for smaller amounts which had been processed quickly with no trouble). <br /> They were quite apologetic over the need to send my docs and offered to credit my account with 25 when I had complied. <br /> <br /> I sent my docs, the cashin was subsequently cleared the same day and 25 went into my account. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> As well as this great service their ordinary blackjack has the lowest house edge of any casino that I know of. Their baccarat only takes 4% on the banker bet for an house edge of only 0.6%. Anybody know another casino that can beat these odds?<br /> <br /> Whilst they don't offer monthly match bonuses they seem to offer 2 or 3 other innovative bonuses every month with low WR which can be played through on all their games. (The variety of games on offer appears to be their only weak point). Just played a seasonal deposit bonus of 100 for instance with only a 2000 WR <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> With all these casinos out there with poor CS, rubbish bonuses and restrictive or plain laughable WR that get custom from members here I think we should be supporting and giving our custom to casinos like Harrods. That might encourage these others to give us a better deal.<br /> <br /> (meister how do casinos like Harrods get on your reputable list?) <br /> <br /> Mitch</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Seconded <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/thumbsup.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbsup :thumbsup:" data-shortname=":thumbsup:" /> I also got a nice bonus when they asked for ID after making the same 1000 deposit I think you must have made this weekend. Makes a change from the majority of casinos that treat you like a criminal when asking for ID/scans, or just use it as a ruse to delay payment.<br /> <br /> Now if only they'd start giving me their quirky weekly offers again. I promise not to make a profit this time <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/wink.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Question for the Harrods fans out there:<br /> <br /> Say I want to check out their casino and take advantage of the 50 pounds bonus offer.<br /> <br /> I've never deposited in pounds before, always dollars. Would I need to simply figure out the equivalent in dollars and deposit that?<br /> <br /> Or does Harrods software do the conversion automatically?<br /> <br /> Appreciate the help. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/thumbsup.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbsup :thumbsup:" data-shortname=":thumbsup:" /></div>

I cannot believe that there isn't any restriction on the individual stakes or on the total amount refunded or some extra condition like you have to wager the refund 25 times on slots. If there are no extra conditions or restrictions, then jump in and play at the highest level you can afford.<br /> <br /> The probability of BJ is 4.7-4.8%, depending on the number of decks, so even if you only get half of your stake back if the dealer has BJ and you have not, the promotion adds more than 2% to the theoretical return of the game, so you will have a player's edge of about 2%. <br /> <br /> If you bet 25 playing 300 hands/hour, 8 hours/day for 5 days, you expect to win about 6000, with standard deviation about 3200.<br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="" data-quote="gfkostas" data-source="" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> gfkostas said: </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> Btw they claim to have roulette with no maximum limit.Shouldn't martingale break the bank? </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote>Martingale is more likely to break your bank first. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

They must realise that it is basically free money to a half decent blackjack player and limit the total payout to the player from the promotion to 100. (Not to be sniffed at though!)<br /> <br /> Looks like I'm going to have to make my millions somewhere else. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/wink.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> <br /> <br /> Went in last night and played a session, not surprisingly ended up winning. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> Thanks Grandmaster for the info on the players edge under these rules.<br /> <br /> Have you got a view on the edge on the roulette promotion if you were betting the even chances and getting your stake back when 'lucky' seven turned up?<br /> <br /> I have a feeling that even with the 'La partage' rule running there is still a minimal house edge. But hey what do I know!<br /> <br /> Mitch</div>
