Rich Reels Casino Review

On Monday, October 25, 2010 0 comments


A new online casino from the management team at Villento, Rich Reels caters to slots players and lovers of Microgaming.
Rich Reels Casino is a new online casino to fall under the highly esteemed Villento Brands Group, whose management team is arguably one of the best on the Web. A highly transparent online casino with the best industry credentials, outstanding customer service and ongoing bonus offers, Rich Reels is poised to follow in the footsteps of their sister site, Villento Casino Las Vegas - and gets our top recommendation for all players.

Rich Reels is powered by Microgaming, and like their sister site, is audited by eCOGRA for game fairness. Being such, financial audits and payout percentage reports are prepared by eCOGRA on a monthly basis. Players should expect to see high numbers in the upper nineties percentile at Rich Reels. To give you an idea of the payouts, on a recent average day, Rich Reels paid out over $40,000 to players just in multi-thousand slot jackpots - not even counting all of the accumulated smaller winnings. To see the latest big-money winners, visit the Recent Winners page on their website.

While many new online casinos offer large start-up bonuses to get the gambling community's attention, Rich Reels stands on the reputation of the Villento brand and Microgaming, which is great customer service, fast payouts, well-managed bonuses, high payout percentages, great odds and the largest selection of graphically advanced online casino games. And the promotions here are still above average (more details below at the bottom of this online casino review).

On the Cashier Page of Rich Reels Casino Website, a list of all available deposit methods is displayed (unfortunately, Rich Reels is no longer open to U.S. players). Once logged into the software platform, which can be accessed via Flash or through download, if you are still unsure about which deposit or withdrawal method to use, players are advised to visit the cashier lobby, which will guide you through the entire depositing process.

Keep in mind that since this is a Microgaming powered online casino, all financial transactions are protected with 128-bit encryption and are tracked by the CashCheck system, which allows players to securely login via the software platform for viewing personal financial statements that share details on the status of all deposits and withdrawals made by the player. Another feature exclusive to Microgaming softare is the innovative PlayCheck system, which like CashCheck, allows players to login to a personal statement for viewing all hand betting results, including wager amounts, cards dealt and finished hands.

As mentioned, Rich Reels offers a large selection of casino games, with special emphasis on the slots of course. In fact, right from the moment you visit the Rich Reels Casino Website (so long as you have the necessary Flash components installed on your computer), you will have an opportunity to give their slots a spin. At the time of this review, a playing screen for the popular "Break Da Bank" opens on the homepage with 100,000 free credits.

You could also simply open a free "Fun" account, which is an exact mirror of the real-money software platform, yet gives access to playing all of the games (except progressive jackpot games) with an unlimited amount of free credits (not for cashing out, of course). Overall, there are 340+ games available through download and over 200 of them are online slots, ranging from 3-reel, single line machines to five-reel multi-line video slots and giant wide area progressive jackpots.

For players who do indeed decide to open a real money account, Rich Reels Casino offers some extra incentive for doing so in the form of a 100% Match Welcome Bonus up to $150 Free, followed by two additional offers totaling up to 1,000 Free in bonus cash. The second deposit returns 30% up to $225, third deposit pays 50% up to $105 Free and Terrific Tuesday's award 40 free spins every week for a full year (a minimum of $100 must be wagered each week to be eligible for Terrific Tuesday's). Be sure to use the bonus code RR100WB when claiming the initial welcome bonus at the Promotions login page.

Using the Microgaming Bonus System to quickly award bonuses and manage and track play-through requirements, which for this bonus is a low 15x the deposit and bonus amount, Rich Reels makes cashing our your bonus money a hands-free and worriless process. Just remember to abstain from cashing out any funds before the wager requirement is met. See the bonus terms and conditions for the "percentage weighting" of games. In other words, some games contribute a different percentage of each wager amount to meeting the play through.

In addition to regular slots and table game tournaments, weekly lucky draws, personal offers and free giveaways, one last promotion worth mentioning is understandably geared toward slots players. It's called the Double Spin Double Win promo and takes place every week at Rich Reels Casino.

Over four days, a suite of slot machines is selected by casino management for the promo. At a minimum, any wagers made on these games will receive double loyalty points. Players with a Silver, Gold or Platinum loyalty status will receive quadruple the loyalty points for each wager. And after participating in two Double Spin Double Win events, players will receive an additional free 20,000 loyalty points. Four events under the belt earns 40,000 points and 6 events earns 60,000 loyalty points. In terms of comp point promotions, we have yet to see an offer this good. It's a great note to end this review on.
