Casino Splendido
As you may have noticed, there are few utterly singular casino sites that have made it to the top of the industry; most belong to groups, or are part of a network, or are supported in some way by other casinos. Casino Splendido is no exception: their sister site is the dominating Roxy Palace, and Splendido has been able to gear some of Roxy’s success to their advantage. There are some differences between the two websites: firstly, the name of Casino Splendido might be new to you if you reside in the US, as that is the most notable location from which Splendido does not accept players. They do however, accept players from most of the rest of the world, and for that reason are included in our list of reviews. The other notable difference is the focus on table games and an experience designed to closely resemble that of Las Vegas. They are powered by Microgaming, with whom they’ve worked to customize a unique look and feel to all the software.
Casino Splendido has been certified by eCOGRA, who is an independent third party auditor, and have been found verifiable. They’ve published Splendido’s payout percentages to average at about 96% across the board for all games. And there aren’t just a couple: Casino Splendido offers over 250 games to their players. The site has webscreens loaded for all games so new players can see the games and gauge which ones they’d like to try. Or, if you’re ready to jump in right way, you can access the Flash version of the Microgaming software, meaning that you don’t actually have to download anything to your hard drive. You can play as much as you want with unlimited play money. Use your time wisely to practice, as the play money/ Flash versions are identical to the real money games.
When you are ready to switch to a live, real money account, rest assured that you’re doing so with a website that keeps your security and peace of mind first and foremost in theirs. All financial information are tracked by the Cash Check system offered by Microgaming, and are processed using a 128 bit encryption. Players have access to their information at all times for their privacy- including statements that show records of deposits and withdrawals, and gamblers also manage their password secured account personally. For records of game play, the histories are recorded using the Play Check system. If you are unfamiliar with Play Check, click on Casino Splendido’s Fair Gaming link and you’ll be able to see an example of the statement available. Such simple elements to assure players that their personal information- both as a gamer, and as a responsible gambler- is secure and protected.
The bonuses at Casino Splendido are good but nothing to call your mother about. The Welcome Bonus for new players is 100% up to $120 free. They do, however, get back to you real quick: accounts approved will be up and running with the deposit processed within 45 minutes of applying. Your minimum deposit required is only $20 in order to get a matching bonus. Keep in mind that the play through requirement for Casino Splendido is 30 times, meaning you have to play your money 30 times before you’re eligible for a withdrawal. Though 30x might be a bit high, you do have the advantage that all games will contribute to the play through min, to some extent. The degrees are as follows: American Roulette, Keno and Slots 100%; Sic Bo, European and French Roulette, Casino War, Table Poker 50%; Classic BlackJack 2%; Craps, Video Poker, Baccarat, BlackJack 10%.
Real money players are the only participants that will enjoy bonuses, that are offered often throughout the month. As is true with most online casinos, the more you play, the more Splendido will give back to you to get you to continue playing. Not that we’re complaining. Keeping with the intention to simulate a Las Vegas experience, Casino Splendido is generous with the comp system. And they really do offer a great loyalty program. Once you begin play, you’ll automatically be upgraded to a “Member” status. Once there, you start to earn comp points with play- the more you play, the more you earn, of course. These points, then, will upgrade you over time to other statuses: Silver, Gold, Platinum. You earn one comp point for every 10 credits that are bet (use the same percentages as shown above for play thrus.) Additionally, every 1,000 points gets you an extra $10 in free real money to play. There are more perks at the higher status levels, like VIP eCash services, milestone bonuses, higher bonus amounts and bonus comp points.
With all that being said, once you check out the games, try out the games and are ready to play at as close to a Las Vegas casino you can find on the web, you’ll have fifteen different choices of deposit options with which you can open your account. All the ones you’re used to using are there: credit card and bank wire options, and of course, the eWallet programs. Once you’ve begin winning and are eligible to begin making withdrawals, you can do so five different ways. As far as our research can tell, Casino Splendido makes good on processing withdrawals in a timely manner, resulting in few to no complaints for the department. Take the time to look into the deposit and withdrawal methods in detail for yourself to choose you best option: all the information can be found on Casino Splendido’s website, including costs and an introduction to the online cashier.
