Spin Palace Casino Overview

Spin Palace Casino has been online since early 2001, making it one of the oldest and well known casinos out there. It has chosen to use the Microgaming software for its games, so if you've played at another online casino with this platform you will know what to expect. However, although their game selection is similar to other online casinos, Spin Palace is one of the best out there for support and new jackpots/games.

This from their About Us section on their website:

Since its launch in 2001 Spin Palace has won multiple awards, making it one of the Internet’s most popular online casinos. Spin Palace Casino has been authorised by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta to offer remote gaming and specializes in providing a fair and entertaining online gaming experience. Our award winning software is powered by Microgaming Systems Ltd, the industry leader, and offers over 260 Vegas-style casino games.

It is important to note that due to the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act, Spin Palace Casino no longer accepts US customers.

SpinPalace.com Software Interface/Usability

Knowing that Spin Palace has been online for nearly 7 years, I had high expectations. Starting at their website, I was impressed. They have a preview and description of all their games and very thorough FAQ. They also have a web based instant play, but I was disappointed with this. I use Mozilla Firefox for my browser, and so do most other people I know. I tried using the instant play with it, but it said my browser was not supported. Support said I should use Internet Explorer; blah to that. Just download the casino and install it on your computer.

The lobby will always load to the home page. This will show new games, promos, and give information about their loyalty club. It's also pretty envious to check out the “latest winners” section. For example, here are some recent jackpot winners; €165,508.50 Slot Jackpot, $89,907.00 Progressive Slot Jackpot, €27,925.00 Video Poker Bonus Deuces Wild Jackpot. That's a pretty penny. There are even some progressive jackpots that have over a $3,000,000 prize!

But back to the software. I was impressed with the game selection and the interface of all the games. I played some variations of blackjack and video poker, but stayed away from slots (mainly because I don't like losing money.) While playing most table games, you can select between gold or regular. Basically the difference is Gold has better graphics and is more resource demanding. I assume they kept the regular games for people that did not have as good computer.

While playing standard, the first thing I noticed was it was slow. Very slow! You can luckily up the speed, which is nice. However, even on fastest it can still be laggy. Also, while playing it can be slightly confusing when you have a soft hand. If you have A6 for example, it will just say 17 and not 7/17. If you play a lot of hands you are bound to make a mistake with this. There is also no warning for strange actions, like hitting on a 19. On Gold, the soft hand problem is solved, which is nice. However one of the most annoying features I noticed was playing at a blackjack table when you can surrender. Instead of just having an action button to surrender next to hit/stand etc, it asks you before any action. If you're playing 5 hands at a time, this can get very very annoying. It will go through and ask “Surrender? Yes/No” every single time. I could not find an option to turn this off, so I just avoided games when you can surrender.

A couple of nice features in the lobby are the favorites tab, which will log recently played games. Also, the lobby and games are available in 14 different languages.

Spin Palace Casino Games, Variety, & Blackjack

At Spin Palace you will find 55+ table games (some gold, some regular), 120+ Slots, 15+ Video Pokers, and some other games like Craps, Keno, Scratch Card, and more. Like most other Microgaming platforms, you will not be disappointed at their game selection!

Since blackjack counts towards the wager requirements, that's what I was playing. I talked about the software above, but will go into a bit more detail here. You will find 13 variations of blackjack, including Atlantic City, Big Five, Classic, Pontoon, Spanish 21, Vegas Single Deck, and more. Now if you're familiar with 21 games, these will be similar except have a few different tweaks. For example, at Pontoon dealer stands on soft 17 and on Spanish 21, dealer hits 17. There are many differences, and some you can even see the dealers cards! Check the table or lobby for rules and payouts, because it should change how you play.

If you play standard and not gold series, you can enter the expert mode by pressing the Expert button. With this enabled, you can use the auto play feature. This is a pretty extensive addon you can use, and can adjust what strategy you want to use. By pressing strategy, you can adjust what to do on your hand based on the dealers hand, and can create other formulas by using the “if” and “otherwise” functions. It's pretty basic once you do it a few times. After you have your strategy, you can autoplay based on x number of hands and stop when you win, or lose a specific amount. Pretty nice feature for degenerate gamblers!

I tried out a couple video pokers, and enjoyed the Deuces and Joker Wild 100 play games. There are many more you can chose from, and can play 1 through 100 hands at a time. By enabling expert, you can turn off that pesky tempting “double” button, which you should always. One thing I liked about this was the auto hold, which automatically holds the cards that are most profitable. This helped me because I did not know it was better to hold three to a straight flush over a smaller pair, just for one example.

If you are looking to score big while play at SpinPalace, you can try one of the 21 games that have a progressive jackpot. Most of these are slots, and like said earlier some have a jackpot of over $3 million! It is pretty tempting after seeing all the large scores, but slows are a very big -EV decision.

Spin Palace Casino Bonus & Other Promotions

Spin Palace has one of the most unique bonuses offered. By signing up for a real money account, you will be able to try their $1000 1 hour free no deposit bonus. This is how it works:

a.No US customers
b.You get $1000 to play with for one hour. You must click the “Start Free Play” button and start playing immediately. Even if you log off or lose internet connection the timer will still keep going. After one hour you are done.
c.During the hour, you must place at least 100 bets and can play any game.
d.Minimum amount allowed to win is $20, and maximum is $100.
e.In order to claim your winnings, you must make a minimum $50 deposit then wager 30x your winnings. If you won $100, you would have to wager $3000.
f.You can play any game to meet the wager requirements (different games have a different % towards wager requirements)
g.After the one hour promotion is complete, you have 7 days to meet the cashout requirements or your winnings become void.

So basically you're given $1000 “funny money” and get to play with it on real money games. Don't try to be stingy though because the max you can win is $100. After your hour is over, you must make a minimum $50 deposit, they say it is for verification purposes. The bonus will be cleared after you wager 30x, and all games count towards the WR. However, different games earn a different percent; Slots, and American Roulette 100%; Table Poker, War, and Sic Bo 50%; Video Poker, Special Blackjacks, Craps, Baccarat 10%; Classic Blackjack 2%.

If this doesn't work out for you, they offer a tiny 100% up to $25. This is one of the smallest bonuses I have ever seen offered, and almost isn't even worth it. However, if you only have a little bit of money and want to start your roll, it might not be a bad opportunity. This bonus is earned the same way as the free play bonus.

Spin Palace Casino offers a loyalty club, which rewards players for making real money wagers. You earn points that can be redeemed for real money and other benefits:

1)For every €10 you wager at Spin Palace you will earn 1 Loyalty Club Point.
2)For every 1,000 Loyalty Club Points redeemed you will receive €10 in free casino credits to your Bonus Account!
