Joy Casino Review

A seemingly endless list of pokies is available, but special mention should be made of the progressive games like Mega Moolah and Major Millions, where fortunes can be won by a single player. Other notable games are themed around movies like Jurassic World, Terminator 2, or Bridesmaids, comic characters like Judge Dredd and the Green Lantern, or famous faces including James Dean, Jimi Hendrix and Guns N’ Roses.

This is just a small sample of the pokies available, and a few others that are particular favourites include the following –

• Sakara Fortune
• Razortooth
• Vikings Go Berserk
• Superman
• Machine Gun Unicorn
• Lucky Leprechaun
• Gold Strike
• Max Damage
• Treasure Nile
• Basketball Star
• Avalon

Other Games

While pokies are the most numerous game category at Joy Casino, they are by no means the only ones here, as a full suite of table games, cards, Video Poker, Keno and virtual sports is provided. Live dealer Roulette, Blackjack, Poker and Baccarat tables are particularly popular, all hosted by attractive croupiers linked by webcams from a casino setting.

The biggest games come in multiple versions, so players will find US and European Roulette for example, along with others like –

• Mini Baccarat
• Pai Gow Poker
• La Partage Roulette
• Double Exposure Blackjack
• Mahjong Exchange
• Virtual Soccer
• Casino Hold’em

A couple of Video Pokers are also found, so although it’s not a massive list of games, most players should find a few of their favourites here.

Bonuses

New customers will be able to decide which first deposit bonus they want to claim, depending on how much they open their account with. The options are for a 50% bonus of up to $50, while higher rollers can get a 150% deposit bonus worth up to $300, and there’s a 100% up to $2000 offer, but all new customers also receive 20 free spins on selected pokies on each of the first 10 days as members of Joy Casino.

Second deposits will qualify for a 100% bonus that doubles the amount available with up to $300 extra, while the third and fourth times that a customer adds funds, they will be able to claim a 50% bonus. Fifth deposits also get a boost, with a 25% deal to a maximum of $750 in bonus credits. Once past this point, there are a limited number of further offers, but a loyalty rewards scheme, daily tournaments with big cash prizes and occasional special deals can be found. The Comp Points system is a way for players to earn extra cash in their accounts, with ever-improving rewards and improved conversion rates as they rise from the Novice level through to VIP status.

Pokie players are particularly well catered for with the tournament schedule, and each day sees games with similar themes grouped together for punters to compete against each other for the top prizes. The overall topics will change each day, but examples include ocean adventure tournaments where pokies such as Fish Party and Sails of Gold are featured, or monster-themed contests that encompass games like Lucky Witch and Wild Blood.

Software Options

An impressive list of some of the most popular online casino games developers have their pokies featured at Joy Casino, along with many smaller companies who may not be as well-known, but provide equally innovative and exciting games. The list includes the following –

• Microgaming
• Playson
• Thunderkick
• Elk Studios
• NextGen
• Evolution Gaming
• Quickspin
• Ainsworth
• Bet Digital

Banking Options

Although not all deposit and withdrawal options can be used in all territories, some of the most popular credit and debit cards or e-wallets can be used by Kiwis. Players come from all over the globe, so as well as multiple languages being supported, New Zealand Dollars, Euros, US Dollars, Norwegian Krone, Swedish Krona, Russian Rubles, Canadian Dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan are all accepted.

As part of the licensing terms under which Joy Casino operates, the banking facilities are safe and secure. Players can use the following payment methods to add funds to their accounts –

• Visa
• MasterCard
• Maestro
• Eco Card
• Moneta Ru
• Neteller
• Skrill
• Western Union
• Web Money

The Bottom Line

Joy Casino has an interesting design, but is far more than just a pretty face, as their collection of pokies is very impressive. The table and card games, along with Video Poker collections are less broad, but most categories are covered by at least one or two versions of each type. Good return to player ratios are a common feature of their games, and all have been independently verified as fair and trustworthy.

Bonuses are aimed mainly at newer players although the Comp Points can add up quickly and the tournament schedule is a particular feature that can see some substantial prize pools awarded to the top-placed competitors each day, making these an attractive proposition for pokie fans.

While it’s open to a worldwide customer base, New Zealand based players should have no trouble signing up, depositing funds and collecting bonuses, while the customer service team are ready to assist in English as well as multiple other languages.
