Vegas Paradise Casino Review

Most of us will never be rich and famous. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want the glamour, popularity and prestige that comes with it. Slick and classy, when entering Vegas Paradise Casino you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a limo and are about to be greeted by a valet, butler and personal accountant.

Formed in 2012 and operated by Progress Play Ltd, Vegas Paradise immediately makes you feel part of an exclusive elite. It has a neat black background and everything has been carefully designed so it’s easy to find. Though Vegas is referenced in the title there are none of the Elvis impersonators, exotic dancers or showbiz glitz that you might expect. It already knows you’re ready to roll and are here for business.

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Like Vegas itself, this is no place to be hanging around. It’s only a quick two-stage form to sign up and you have a week to activate your account before they delete it so no good hanging around in the foyer here.

It starts off very nicely. The best value is having your initial 200 pounds, euros or dollars being matched, though they’ll also match you down to 10. In order to withdraw these bonuses, a rather high minimum of 50 times the bonus amount must be wagered.

There is a rather sinister warning note that Vegas Paradise can cancel the promotion at any time and without notice, or at their discretion, disqualify a player from using it. That same message runs through all their promotions. Hopefully that’s unlikely to affect you. Just by introducing yourself to the in-chat service you’ll probably be offered a discretionary bonus.

Promotions Are Always a Bonus

The bonus offers are very easy to find, clearly labelled, carefully explained and with no small print. That’s always worth a smile. You get a Complimentary Bonus by registering and activating your account with valid details. While it can’t be withdrawn or redeemed for cash, you can take out the initial winnings as long as you have wagered at least 50 times an amount equal to the initial bonus and winnings.

You may also find a welcome surprise with Free Play Bonuses, either in the form of bonus money or free spins. You won’t want to mess around as you only get five days to make use of it. A week may be a long time in politics, but it sure isn’t here.

There’s also a neat mix of regular and seasonal promotions. Kick Off was a hugely ambitious competition with incredible football-related prizes, including a main prize of watching three football matches in three countries within a week. Though it has now ran out, here’s hoping they continue the theme with other sports. The temporary Sizzling Summer Surprise looks fun if you’re into slot machines and feeling confident with winning on up to the nine possible promotional codes available.

But if you prefer your bonuses a little less sport themed and summer related, and more regular, this is the place for you. The Big Cash Vegas Paradise Race to Riches is monthly, Game of the Day is on Wednesdays, and there’s also a Weekly Bonus Surprise which involves surprise bonuses being handed out randomly on Tuesdays.

Game On!

A little bit of everything really. There are 223 slot machine games, including the usual suspects of Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest and Game of Thrones. There’s also a healthy selection of puntastic ones like 5 Reel Drive, The Cashanova and DinoMight. However, they aren’t listed alphabetically and there’s no search box.  If you’re looking for a specific game that’s going to be annoying and slow you down, especially as there are 19 pages.

If you’re into roulette or blackjack you’ll want to make yourself comfortable. They are spread within 18 table games, with live action available through a table each for roulette, bacarrat and roulette. If you want another form of adrenaline rush you can try out one of their 12 jackpot games, or even play one of their three casual games, Keno 3, Enchanted Woods or Germinator.

This isn’t the place for poker, however. There are only two versions of the game (Double Bonus and Triple Pocket Hold’em Poker Gold Series), none of which is live. Something Vegas Paradise will need to consider if it is keen to develop.

Better news is that 112 games are available on mobiles, and can be seen in their own category. Within other sections, games that aren’t mobile-friendly are clearly labelled as such when clicked on. As well as the wide selection easy to navigate, what really stands out is how carefully each game is explained. If you try out the site before registering, it’s even possible to play the slot machine games for practice.

Will It Pay Off?

For depositing money, there’s Visa Mastercard (which covers most of the main cards), Charge to Mobile, Skrill, Neteller or Trustly. Withdrawing can only be done by Visa (with similar cards to above), cheque, Bank Transfer or Trustly. The minimum amount for depositing is £10, with a maximum of £5,000. Withdrawing has a minimum of £20 with a maximum withdrawal of £3,000. Manual flushing is not allowed.

There have been some complaints about withdrawing, especially due to the three days pending period and one day processing time, before taking into consideration the time in transfer. It’s also worth noting that Mastercard and debit card are not available due to issuer restrictions.

You can also find your gaming and bonus history, and a conversion rate for VIP status, as well as an account of your VIP transactions. Like when registering, there is a direct link to the live chat box which is a nice touch. You can also set your own self-limitation if you want to be more careful with your spending.

Valued. Important. Precise

As befitting a website with its sleek design, Vegas Paradise sure knows how to take care of its elite customers. Its carefully put-together VIP programme is one of its biggest selling points. While gold may be the dream of Olympic athletes this summer, here it is only the third tier out of five. Beginning with bronze and silver, you can reach even higher by obtaining platinum and Diamond statuses.

The different benefits with each one can be seen in the table they show, which has 11 different categories. Lower down on the list is the online VIP room status and monthly newsletter. Higher up points wise and you can have your own personalised gifts and anniversary bonus. You’ll feel like your very own rockstar.

Paradise Online

Like with Vegas itself, there’s so much to like here. Vegas Paradise Casino is so well designed, including the fantastic cityscape backdrop that you will get the sense that you’re away from everything. The site is easy to use and with its tight security checks and friendly in-box chat, you really do feel in safe hands.

You’re largely spoilt for choice with so many games in different formats and its great loyalty programme. If what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, then you most definitely won’t want to leave.
