Casino-X Review

Pokies

We’re all here because we love the pokies, so with a current total of 1013 to choose from, (and climbing), Casino-X is a good place to search for the top games along with many less well known but no less interesting titles. There isn’t room to list them all, but finding some favourites is made pretty easy, with simple site navigation buttons opening up the latest releases, most popular games, progressive pokies and there’s also a search button for those players who know which ones they are looking for. A really useful function is a slider that players can adjust from low to high volatility, so anyone who likes lots of smaller wins should slide it to the left and anyone who prefers fewer, but generally higher value prizes can slide right.

No online casino is complete without having a mobile option, and Casino-X works across multiple devices, having the same basic layout as the desktop version and taking punters to their pokie games in just a click or two.

The list of most popular pokies will change from time to time, but generally speaking, there’s classics such as Immortal Romance, Game of Thrones, 300 Shields, Green Lantern and Emerald Isle filling the top spots, along with the famous Mega Moolah and Treasure Nile progressive jackpot games. Some other notable ones are –

• Judge Dredd
• Chilli Gold
• Vikings Go Berserk
• Dragon Dance
• Book Of The Dead
• Golden Fish Tank
• Pimped
• Grim Muerto
• Jurassic Park
• Fire Joker

It’s not an exhaustive list at all, and a review of the actual site is the only way to appreciate the full spread of pokies offered.

Other Games

There’s huge collection of traditional table games, cards, Video Poker and casual games as well, all accessed in the same convenient way as the pokies. Live dealer tables are given their own section, where players will find among others, Baccarat, Blackjack, Casino Hold’em and Roulette. We had to take a closer look at Russian Roulette, but thankfully it turns out to be a standard game aimed at the local market rather than a deadly sport played with guns.

Other Roulette games include the conventional US version which has far worse odds than the European type and should therefore be avoided at all costs, but apart from this, there’s highly recommended types like Premier, Multi-Wheel, French, La Partage and more. Blackjack comes in multiple varieties as well, as does Baccarat and Casino Poker, although there’s no Craps games at all, which is a shame.

Customers will, however, find the following –

• Mahjong Exchange
• Pai Gow Poker
• Triple Pocket Hold’em Poker
• Super Fun 21
• Vegas Strip
• High Streak Blackjack Gold
• Cyberstud Poker

There’s currently 8 Video Poker games, including the classics such as Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, Deuces Wild and Double Joker, which isn’t an extensive collection but it certainly covers the basics. Like all games at Casino-X, there’s no requirement to install any special software onto a PC or mobile device, so they can be opened up on any computer available in most countries, including New Zealand.

Bonuses

Launching the Promo page reveals a picture of a blackboard that shows how the new player offers work. There’s two distinct benefits to claim, with bonus funds on top of the first few deposits made into a Casino-X account, plus free spins on selected pokies, giving punters a great start.

Everything is listed in US Dollars, but the deals are open to all their customers. The first deposit bonus is a flexible deal where players can decide on higher percentages to a lower maximum limit, or a straightforward 100% promotion that doubles the amount available to play with and adds as much as $2000 to the opening balance. Second deposits can also be doubled with up to $300 in bonus funds, plus there’s 50% and 25% boosts on the third, fourth and fifth times that funds are added. Players also get 20 free spins each day for the first 10 days as a customer, with no wagering requirements before they can cash out any winnings.

Regular players will benefit from further promotional offers, but there’s no loyalty scheme or fixed schedule of bonuses for further deposits beyond the initial five payments. Plenty of tournaments, for tables games, cards and pokies are offered and there’s prizes worth thousands of Dollars for the top-placed contestants.

Software Options

To get the impressive range of pokies, Casino-X have sourced games from multiple developers. Microgaming, Playson, Thunderkick, Elk Studios, NextGen, Evolution Gaming, Quickspin, Ainsworth, 2x2, Genesis, Lightning Box, Rabcat, Yggdrasil, Push Gaming, Play n’GO and Bet Digital ranges are all found there, and if players have any favourites among these, they can simply tick a box to get the individual developers games all in one place.

Banking Options

The Netherlands Antilles (Curacao), e-gaming license ensures not only that the games are fair, but also that the banking facilities are operated securely, so customers can deposit funds instantly and withdraw winnings with the minimum of delay, without having to worry about accounts being compromised by malware.

Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Skrill, Neteller, WebMoney, Yandex, EcoPayz, Moneta Ru, Qiwi and paysafecard are just some of the accepted payment systems, along with the Bitcoin virtual currency, but not all forms of e-wallets are available for use in all countries. Some of these are exclusively for Russian customers, but New Zealanders can use their credit or debit cards, Neteller and Skrill for example.

The Bottom Line

Those players searching for a huge list of games, from just about all the top developers in the business, (with the notable exception of Playtech), should certainly take a good look at Casino-X. It’s a massive number of pokies, all with good returns and all found via an easy to use interface.

The best bonuses are largely restricted to newer customers, as once the initial few deposits have been made the offers tend to drop off a little, but there’s enough additional free games, tournaments and so on to keep New Zealand-based punters coming back time and again.
