Thebes Casino
Kiwis are welcomed at this Egyptian-style casino.
Players from United States not accepted
VISIT CASINOAnyone with even a passing interest in online casino gaming can’t help but notice that the topic of ancient Egypt is one of the most popular around. There’s numerous pokies filled with images of Pharaoh’s, pyramids, hieroglyphics and scarab beetles and now we have an entire casino themed around the topic. Thebes was a major city when Egypt ruled much of the Mediterranean and its ruins, which will be familiar from several films like Transformers 2 and The Spy Who Loved Me, still stand in Luxor.
Fortunately, Thebes Casino is much more up to date and isn’t completely given over to the theme. Instead we have an Egyptian-style logo and plenty of pokies that stick to the subject matter, but otherwise it’s a site filled with a diverse range of games from a couple of different sources and packed full of special bonus deals.
Because Thebes Casino runs under the terms and conditions of an e-gaming license issued in Curacao, they are able to welcome players from many countries, although not the UK or USA. It means that New Zealand based customers are very welcome to sign up, however, and once they do, there’s free spins and a nice match bonus to claim, while it also means the games are fair, customer service is always available and banking facilities are safe and secure.
Betsoft, Octopus Gaming, Rival, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming provide the pokies at Thebes Casino and it’s an impressive collection that covers just about every mix of themes, styles, bonus features and payouts. The games can be viewed as thumbnail images before opening them up, while they can also be seen in an A to Z list, by provider, by popularity, or players can check out the latest releases all in one place.
Unsurprisingly, some of the biggest pokies follow the Egyptian theme, with games such as Treasures of the Pharaohs, Tales of Egypt, Lost and The Ghouls all set in and around ancient lands. But of course, there’s lots more besides and some of the best-known pokies here include the classic Good Girl, Bad Girl, Under The Bed, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Forest Frenzy and 2 Million B.C. A few games such as The Slotfather and Black Diamond come in progressive jackpot versions where players who line up the right symbols will scoop huge prizes, but all pokies have the potential to pay out some big wins.
Which ones become personal favourites is all a matter of taste, but the selection is wide enough that everyone is going to find plenty of pokies that they keep coming back to. It’s not really practical to list the whole range, but here are a few of our top choices –
The pokies collection is enhanced by a wide range of video pokers, table games such as roulette and plenty of blackjack, casino poker and baccarat card games. Among the most popular are those hosted by live dealers, where real croupiers hand out the cards or spin the wheels at a wider range of tables than most casinos are able to offer. Alongside the traditional versions of these classics, we also find 3D style games, American and European Blackjack and Roulette, plus a Super 6 game.
At the main software-based section of Thebes Casino, there’s all these and more, and like the pokies, they are all fair, reliable games that can be trusted to deliver a great return to player percentage. The chances are that any player will find their ideal version of each type, while there’s also some unique features such as the opportunity to bet on stocks and the financial markets.
Scratchcards, Keno, some specialist Egyptian style video poker versions like Pyramid Double Jackpot and Pyramid Jacks or Better are also found here. Some more examples of the top games at Thebes Casino are –
The bonus deals can be broadly divided into three types, the new player offers, VIP loyalty points scheme and re-deposit bonuses that can be claimed daily. As soon as a someone registers to play at Thebes Casino they will be granted 25 free spins on promoted pokies and then first five deposits will qualify for a very generous bonus.
It’s a great introduction to all that this casino has to offer and once wagering turnover requirements have been met, any winnings made with bonus money can be withdrawn as real cash. While a nice introduction to an online casino is all well and good, perhaps more significant are the on-going promotional deals and Thebes Casino has some pretty special ones waiting to be collected each and every day.
There are generous bonuses on top of deposits over a certain size each day and for each dollar staked on the games, win or lose, players earn VIP loyalty points which can be exchanged for bonus cash once enough have been collected.
There are several tiers to the VIP club and those at the higher levels will get even more rewards, such as exclusive bonuses, entry to special tournaments and right at the top, there are even invitations to sporting events and other occasions. Tournaments are being run all the time, including special ones for new players and some of the competitions have massive prizes including cars.
Thebes Casino is a no-download site where all the games can be played via a browser on any authorised PC. It’s all compatible with Android, Apple and Windows mobile devices as well, with all games adapted for use on phones and tablets, and again there’s no need to download anything which makes it easy to access their games from wherever a player may be.
As well as Betsoft and Octopus Gaming, there’s a couple of other sources including Vivo and VIG who specialise in the live dealer tables, but no matter which games are being played, they are all opened in the same way and there’s no obvious changeover from the range of one developer to the range of another.
Most New Zealanders will have access to either Visa or MasterCard, ecoPayz, and Flexepin, and these are the main ways to deposit funds at Thebes Casino. These are safe, easy and quick methods, with everything processed over the latest Secure Socket Layer (SSL) systems for complete peace of mind.
There is a new alternative however, as the Bitcoin crypto-currency is also accepted here. Anyone using this method will be eligible for special bonuses and the games will be displayed in BTC’s rather than Dollars. Bitcoins also have the advantage that there’s no national boundaries and no need to move funds around using potentially sensitive financial information.
In many important ways, Thebes Casino sets itself apart from competitor sites. Notably, it’s the range of games which is a unique mix only shared with other sites in the same group, but even then, the style and theme make it distinct.
Impressive bonuses which extend far beyond the opening offers are a real highlight, with players able to collect a different offer each day and by signing up to their newsletter, any extra deals will be emailed straight out to them. VIP points and the potential to get some big wins in the tournaments are some other attractions, while the peace of mind that comes from playing at a fully licensed casino is something that you can’t put a price on.
