PartyCasino Review

Poker rooms and casino games go hand in hand most of the time, but for the average card sharp it’s often a bit of a gamble as to who to trust away from the poker tables, especially online – so we (or rather, I) have done the hard work and found an excellent spot for you to take on the house, and have a party while you’re at it.

On the back of Gus Hansen’s ‘great summer’ which saw the Danish legend put in the hours in a place he loves and came out with a huge smile on his face, my remit was to find a place that was not only extremely trustworthy, but also with a wide range of games available – one that also had something a bit extra to make it fun, with a decent chance of winning money thrown in – pretty much exactly how I would choose an online poker site.

Now, almost every poker room offers a casino option, and there are countless standalone online casinos out there too, so how to narrow it down to just one?

Well, Google is our friend (unless you live in China apparently, but let’s leave that one for now!) and a quick search using the key criteria listed above threw up a few interesting options – and PartyCasino was pretty much top of the list…

Is my casino site safe and secure?

First up for choosing any potential virtual casino is security and integrity, the number of fly-by-night shysters not exactly scary, but naturally to be body-swerved at all costs.

The phrase “PartyCasino was reviewed with 4 out of 5 stars by scams.info” was a very decent start to the search. Of course 5/5 would be better, but who would trust something that had no flaws? Perfection is as fishy as it gets to anyone with the slightest knowledge of online poker or gambling of any sort, so 4/5 works just fine for me, especially when you realise the hugely-respected GVC Holdings is the parent company.

Fully-integrated since 2011, and boasting over 500 games covering live table games, slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker to keep the ‘hold’em’ crew happy and a swathe of others, PartyCasino ticks all the basic boxes. But does it have that extra something to drag us away from whatever our long-time favourites are? Or to attract new players?

The PennyHill Party

How about live VIP events for those who don’t just live in their parent’s basement? $6000 in cash and a prize draw for a Porsche 911 would drag most people out to attend an upmarket summer dinner, drinks and casino night for sure!

This is the ‘Gus Hansen’ element I was looking for, of course, but if you’re content to just play instead of play and party, does PartyCasino live up to the hype?

Bonuses

This is where it’s at whether you’re a casino grinder or newbie to the whole scene – you want extra bang for your buck. How does PartyCasino stack up in this respect?

Starting with a ’50 free spins’ welcome bonus is a decent effort, given that there is no wagering required to take your winnings and run if that’s your thing (it’s not mine, but I weigh 250lbs so running isn’t exactly my thing ever!) Add in the cashback scheme, tiered by the type of game you play, and you’re already talking about making money just by playing if you’re clever about it.

As a VIP player on the site, however, you start to be treated like a king rather than just a prince – tailored cashier service, bespoke bonuses and personal account managers? This is a serious site when it comes to serious casino play, all backed by regulated UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar Gambling Commission licenses – another huge nod to site safety.

What games are on offer?

Those in the know, know that games are provided to online casinos by all kinds of different game design companies, and PartyCasino certainly doesn’t appear to fail behind in this area either, NetEnt, Microgaming and NextGen are all there, and EvolutionGaming is behind the excellent LIVE dealer games offering.

Overall, games-wise, I was very hard-pushed to not find my own favourites – and discovered a fair few new offerings that kept me busy (and distracted from writing, but don’t tell my editors!)

Conclusion

Is PartyCasino the best online gambling haven, or heaven, you’ll ever find? 

Always a difficult question when you enjoy something a lot – and people have different tastes of course – but it’s certainly up there with the very best online casinos I’ve played on, and it boasts an incredible 24/7 (really 24/7, not just an empty claim and 3-day wait) customer service team. 

Remember, nobody ever gets a clean 5/5, but 4/5 and heading upwards isn’t too bad!
