This morning I received a promotional e-mail from one of my favorite Playtech casinos and realized that it had been quite some time since I last visited Vegas Red Online Casino and so I decided I’d pay them a visit to see if anything much had changed since the last time I played there (I really hoped not!).
Vegas Red Casino is in my honest opinion is one of the few Playtech casinos that is run in an outstanding manner…part of the same group that owns the player favorites Casino Tropez, Del Rio and Europa Casino, it is highly evident that professionalism and providing a player “experience” are high on the list of priorities at this establishment.
I typed in the URL and was directed to the casino page, which is definitely one of the few casinos out there that immediately brings a smile to my face. The design is nothing short of amazing and somehow serves to capture you and transport you to a world of entertainment drawing you in with an atmosphere of exhilaration, excitement that will leave you tingling with anticipation…you really just need to experience it for yourself to see what I mean.
Not only are the design and graphics fantastic, but the layout is highly functional too and all the information you will need regarding promotions, customer support and banking are all at your fingertips. The only irritation is the pop up that keeps asking you if you’d like to visit another casino…it gets quite annoying after the 10th time you push cancel!
The site is very user friendly and other than accommodating the English market, also caters to those whose preferred languages are German, Japanese, French, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Korean. I think that’s one of the most comprehensive language offerings I’ve seen for quite some time!
Seen as though it was a promotional teaser that had brought me back to the casino again, I selected the “Promotions” tab and went to check out what they currently had on offer.
The promotional offerings on this page are mainly limited to the welcome bonus.
You are also eligible for a highroller bonus on top of these if you meet the additional deposit requirements. Bonuses are credited to your account immediately. As with all promotions, terms and conditions apply and the wagering requirements for this bonus are a minimum of eight (8) times your play bonus plus deposit (8 x (bonus + deposit) before requesting a withdrawal.
In addition to the welcome bonus, Vegas Red is also offering up to $250 free every month plus 15% extra when depositing via selected payment options. When using Firepay, Neteller, InstaCash, Moneybookers, EcoCard, paysafecard, eWallet, Citadel, Instadebit, UsemyBank, CentralCoin, OnDemandFund, Ukash or epassporte, you will be awarded with a 10% bonus free in cash! AND if you make a deposit using Wire Transfer or Bank Draft they will award you with a 15% bonus free in cash. Terms and conditions do apply!
The last promo regarding Free Comp Points led me to looking into the Loyalty program to see just how many points I’d accumulated from previous play.
At Vegas Red, the more you play, the more you earn. Being a member of the Loyalty program automatically qualifies you to receive regular free cash bonuses and player comps, which come in handing when you’d like to try new games, learn new strategies, and win huge jackpots.
There is also a VIP Club, offering five VIP levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. I’ve only just become a Silver member, so still have a long way to go! While they don’t publish the top player benefits, the ones I’ve experience are Generous VIP club welcome bonuses, Improved Comps-to-dollars ratios, Faster withdrawal times , having my own host or “account manager”, Access to a variety of promotions, contests, and deposit deals as well as receiving Luxury gift items from time to time. YEAH!!!
After being reminded again why I play here (as if I needed it) I headed off to the casino lobby to check out the games…
Due to the fact that I’ve played at Vegas Red before, I already had the software on my PC but if you don’t there are both non-download and download options and the registration process is quite quick and easy.
Eager to get started, I headed to the cashier and checked out the extensive range of deposit methods which include Credit Card, Visa Electron, Delta Card, ePassporte, NETeller, Instacash, Citadel, my Citadel, Firepay, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, ECO Card, eWallet Xpress, UseMyBank, Instadebit, Central Coin, On Demand Funds, Paysafe Card, Bank Draft, (Instant) Wire Transfer, Ukash, PandanyCard. I elected to use my usual deposit method, Neteller and my transaction was completed instantly. With my account funded, I made my way to the games lobby.
As with most casinos, Vegas Red allows you to play for fun, which is a great way to test out the games and see which ones appeal most to you. Seen as though I already have my favorites, I played on my existing player account, heading straight for the slots. While the selection is not as large as at some other casinos, I’m convinced that there is a slot for everyone. Fruitmania is one of the most highly publicized games and is definitely one of my favorites, probably because of the huge progressive jackpots that are on offer…the tickers are just SO tempting! Other slots include Captain’s Treasure, Goblin’s Cave and Triple Profits Video Slots as well as a variety of single and multi-line slots. There is also Video Poker and Keno on offer if you prefer these.
Once I’d had my fill of slots it was on to the Tables to try my luck. There are 13 Table Games to choose from and all the usual favorites are available including varieties of Blackjack, Roulette and poker. The most fascinating of the table games for me was the Live Blackjack, which is only one of the four table games that offers Live Dealers, although you do need alot of time and patience as the game pace is relatively slow, but nonetheless, still something unusual and quite entertaining.
After a thoroughly enjoyable player experience, I decided to cashout. Now, having played and cashed out at this casino before, I was aware of the fact that withdrawals take quite some time to process (can be a couple of days). I decided to contact support about this anyway, just to test their current standards and received a reply a couple of hours later (which to be objective is quite a bit longer than most) but nevertheless, the response was very polite and detailed, ensuring me that my withdrawal would be processed within a day due to the fact that I belong to their VIP program….YEAH!
While your first withdrawal may take a while to process, it will be hassle free and you will definitely be rewarded should you play here regularly. Oh, and you’ll learn to ignore the annoying pop up when you leave the casino. Other than that, as you can tell Vegas Red is one of my favorite casinos to play at, and I would highly recommend it to you, I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time!
