PartyCasino review

Summary

Party Casino was launched in early 2006 by the Party Gaming Group, owner and operator of 9 other online gaming sites, including some of the largest in the world, like Party Poker. Party Casino runs on privately developed software that is fast, stable and easy to use. There’s a decent selection of games, with all of the standard card and table varieties, but a more limited number of slots and video poker games than some online casinos. They offer a generous enough first-time deposit bonus, with loads of payment options available, but does not accept US players.

Software and Extra Features

The online casino is powered by its own software brand from Party Gaming. While there are no speed or stability issues, the software doesn’t quite meek the pique expectations of players accustomed to today’s top online casino software developers, like Microgaming or PlayTech. Frequent updates are bringing about great improvements, though. Overall, Party Casino offers an appealing online gaming experience, with clean graphics and good sound effects. The ease of navigation is a big plus, offering a very user friendly interface that even novice online casino gamers should have no difficulty with.

Party Casino can be played by downloading the software, or instantly in your browser using a no-download java client. Members will find the casino to be internationally accommodating, providing 8 languages; English, Danish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

Game Variety

The game variety is just about the only setback for Party Casino, lacking the enormous selection of slots and video poker games normally associated with a well known online casino brand. This is due to Party Casino’s decision to develop its own private software, but the company is constantly working to integrate more games into the system.

The current game variety consists of 53 selections, each of which can be played for fun or real money. Players will find 7 versions of Blackjack including single deck, single hand, multi-hand and multi-player, with tournaments as well. Roulette, Craps, Baccarat, Caribbean Stud Poker, Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker, Let It Ride and a few others round out the table games.

There are 20 regular online slots (classic reels and themed video slots), with 9 progressive jackpot slots and 9 video poker games, offering up to 50 hands at once. Safe Cracker Keno is available, plus virtual horse racing and greyhound racing games that are a unique addition to the Party Casino software.

Sign up Bonus

Party Casino is paying new members up to $3000 in bonus cash for making their first, second, third and fourth deposit at the online casino. New members will get 100% up to $750 on the first deposit, followed by 100% up to $750 on the successive three deposits. Players must download the software to get the bonus, and a minimum of $25 deposit is needed. There’s a 20x play-through requirement on the deposit + bonus amount before requesting a withdrawal on the bonus.

Promotions

The Casino Manager passes out $5,000 each month to players who earn 200 or more points play real money casino games. Players who earn a piece of this prize are also eligible for a reload bonus worth up to $500. To make it easier, play slots and progressive slots during ‘Double Party Hours’ to earn twice as many points.

Make a deposit on the 1st or 2nd of the month to receive 10% cash back on the 3rd. Play Blackjack on the 21st of the month and the first 1,500 blackjacks pay 2:1. Party Casino is always running slot-based promotions, awarding extra free spins and bonus credits when playing the right slots on the right days (i.e. Saturday Night Fever slot on Saturdays).
