Party Casino
Established in 1997, Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment plc, also known as PartyGaming, has grown to encompass six major areas—Poker, Bingo, Bets, Backgammon, Financial Trading and Casino games. PartyCasino made its debut in 2006 with a large selection of gaming choices, from Slots and Video Poker to Table Games. Now listed on the London Stock Exchange from its base in Gibraltar, PartyCasino pays out more than $300 million in winnings a month, making it the world’s largest online casino.
Because PartyCasino is bigger and has more players than most other Internet gaming web sites, it can issue more payouts. Its progressive jackpots are worth over $4 million. Sheer size also allows PartyCasino to serve players at all levels of experience. The betting here starts at just a penny and reaches as high as $1,000 per wager, depending on the game.
Currently, more than 160 games are available, including about 100 Slots. The software that powers both the Download and Instant Play versions of the casino has been developed by Betsoft, Bwin.Party, CryptoLogic, Electracade, Evolution Gaming and IGT and licensed in Gibraltar. English is the web site’s primary language, with support available in more than a dozen other languages. Accepted currencies are Euros, U.K. Pounds, U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollars. All games can be played for either play money or real cash.
Slot enthusiasts will appreciate the special Marvel section that has been created. It features the Amazing Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four and Thor. Traditional slot games with up to 20 paylines on five reels are provided in abundance, with titles that reflect blockbuster movies, famous brands and video game tie-ins as well as classic games. New 3D games such as Jenga have been installed, too.
With 20 different Jackpot slots, PartyCasino’s “bigness” really shows. The highly popular five-reel, nine-line Mega Wheel of Fortune offers a shot at winning millions on just one spin. Other big payouts can be found on Cash Cruise, Golden Oasis, Melon Madness, Snow Business, Super Mystic and Sweet Hawaii, to name a few.
For Video Poker fans there are 14 variations from which to choose, from traditional Jacks or Better to innovative Flamingo Poker and Kanga Cash, which features a nugget bonus and gold panning. There is multi-hand Video Poker, too, including Tens or Better 25 Hands and Joker Poker Deuces Wild 100.
Of course, nothing is missing at PartyCasino when it comes to Table Games. There is a separate section just for Blackjack and Roulette, with nine different versions available. Other favourites, such as Baccarat, Let It Ride, Three Card Poker and Paigow Poker, are well represented, as are novelties like Red Dog and Casino War.
A Live Dealer section has bee added to PartyCasino, featuring eight young lasses who not only shuffle, deal and spin but also chat with players via text messaging. It only takes a click to access live-action tables for Baccarat, Roulette and Classic 21.
Perhaps the polar opposite to live table games is virtual gaming, and PartyCasino offers Virtual Horses and Greyhounds for non-stop round-the-clock action. The Games area also offers Safecracker Keno, scratch cards and “cascade games,” such as Chain Reactors and Bejeweled. And it only takes a click on the links at the top of each screen to be directed to even more fun at PartyPoker, PartyBingo, PartyBets or PartyGammon.
A huge Welcome Bonus worth up to £3,000 is currently being offered to new players at PartyCasino. It is delivered in the form of a matching bonus, worth 100% extra up to $/£/€750 on the first four deposits a new player makes. The very first bonus is delivered automatically, with no bonus code required.
PlayerPoints are also awarded for cash play, with amounts determined by the type of game selected. The points accumulate until they are redeemed for prizes and cash. Points are also used to determine player status, graded by “key level” from Bronze, Silver, and Gold to Palladium Elite.
