Surprising Casinos of 2009

[Bencuri]

My question is simple:

Which new casinos were the biggest surprise for you in 2009?


-For me one is the new William Hill Casino (the Playtech one). I am glad they kept the bonus scheme of Corwn Soultion Gaming that I really liked, and even made it more favourable with including all games in the allowed games list when playing with bonuses. This casino also have very good limits and features on table games.


-The new Expekt casino (Microgaming) was the another big surprise for me. Many Microgamings that allowed cash-out of winnings before completing bonus WR changed its rules by the beginning of the year, and don't allow it any more. So it was really great to see a real newcomer who introduced these good old rules, and demonstrated a good example among the many bad ones. Moreover from the beginning the Microgaming casino at Expekt was available in Instant version as well that can be run on MacOSX as well, that pleases me, as most Microgamings do not run under MacOSX, no matter they have an instant version.

-As far as I know none of the RTGs allowed all games to be played with the bonus before WR was met, so seeing a newcomer allowing it were big news! I am talking about Grande Vegas. I don't really play in RTGs, but this gesture is amazing under such circumstances.

So thumbs up for them!



Which new ones pleased you the most?

I would have to say Titan, Jackpot Capital, Vegas Regal, it may not be new but i sure do like it as far as Rivals go. I think Slotastic will be looking good for the new year tho they just launched and seem to be doing pretty good just like their sister casino Jackpot Capital, I cant remember if Lucky Red and Aladdins launched this year or last?

Its been a good year for new casinos and i hope they continue to keep us entertained and happy.............laurie

I have to give it up for InterCasino (Crypto). After years of doing nothing new with table games in favour of more profitable slots, they've remade all of their BJ, Roulette, and Casino Poker games in stunning quality and with big improvements in the way the interface is set up. Blackjack offers a bunch of different variants with different numbers of decks and rules; some Euro-style with no hole card and others like the North American style. They've even added some 10-cent minimums for a few of the games.

Add that to the upgraded lobby that replaces their outdated, tough to navigate old menu and that's the best surprise of the year for me.

The biggest surprise is that William Hill would choose the dodgy Playtech product over Crypto and leave all these new games (along with their usual assortment of new, branded slots) to Inter.

For me the best newcomer has to be AllStar Slots followed closely by Titan.

Not so "new" but "new" to me I was most pleasantly surprised by Red Flush. I've tested a fair few casinos this year and that one left the best impression. A 12 hour reverse and the cashouts were painless. The only downside is that they don't actually flush, despite the name LOL. If they did, or followed 32Red's example of allowing players to select their own reverse time, it would be right up there competing IMO.

Thank you for your replies. However I am interested in your opinions on real newcomers. Intercasino has been around for a long time, that is out of cathegory now, also InetBet. Tell me those that were not around or that were transferred to a different software provider and the casino changed significantly (like Expekt, or Intertops).

Many interesting new casinos launched in 2009. From the personal experience I had so far I would point out Bingolasvegascasino and Tropica. Fast cashouts, good customer care for loyal players; their representatives on casinomeister are very responsive and helpful.

Yes, Bingo Lasvegas was also an insteresting newcommer with its 100$ no deposit bonus, that had very good terms I think.

ALL STAR SLOTS

I have to say that I have really enjoyed ALL STAR SLOTS. More playing time and I am a low roller and you actually get a bonus here and there. Some of the slots I have played lately are just so tight.

Because it has the bingo market covered?

Maybe you're looking at the BingoLasVegas site?
That's a Bingo site. (Not related to the casino).

BingoLasVegasCasino is a Net Entertainment casino, which sadly you can't play at, due to the actions of your glorious former President...

The Most Surprising Casino 2009 has to go to... Lucky Network!

Really STUPID name for a casino, but someone somewhere must have invested masses to create this unique software with over 20 top quality slot games with inventive and amusing themes.

But the owners, instead of getting their product out in the marketplace & making a niche for themselves, decided to stay low profile, whither & die...

So for me, this was my biggest surprise casino - that anyone could be so stupid to just throw vast amounts of money down the drain...

Maybe it was just for money laundering by the owner

I have checked their bonuses, but they seem to offer only 100% on first deposit with 20x WR. Or you got a bigger bonus on sign up? If yes, what was the coupon?

Lock casino

Best surprise for me must be lock casino (RTG).

Casino lobby with great look, excellent customer service, many bonuses and most important: I had two instant cashouts and the third was in my moneybookers account wihin 20 minutes.

Wow, that is really remarkable that a cash out goes that fast. I have also tried this casino, and indeed the lobby looks very innovative.

You can say that again! The slots were so tight at All Star SLots this last week . It was horrible!.

The customer service is superb, though, and I had a great live chat with Denny the other night. Very friendly and great service but MAN!..the slots were horrible. I won't play again there until after the new year.

Although, I know I can't win all the time but this weekend especially was just the pits!
