Pure
Vegas Casino runs on Real Time Gaming (RTG) software. They are fairly
new in the game. If you search for reviews, you will see some
complaints about the low withdrawal limit of $2,000 per week. More
sites allow $3,000 per week withdrawal.
However, the withdrawal process itself is not that bad. Like any other
site, you will be asked to wait 48 hours while they perform some
security checks but you will get your money after 48 hours. That being
said, the site is alright given all the other factors to consider.
Aesthetics
The software was made by RTG. However, the homepage is usually done by
someone else. This is the primary reason different casinos have
different looks. This one is simple but a little too cluttered for me.
There are a lot of elements on the homepage. I usually look for three
things immediately when I get on the site: The Game, Banking Policies,
and Contact details.
The site displays too many things on the website and the font of the menu is hard to read.
However, all the links work and it’s fast to load.
Download and Flash Version
As in any RTG supported site, you can play two ways. You can download the software or play the flash version.
When I am new to the site, I usually play the flash version first and I
always look for the test level. Luckily, this site has both. I was able
to register and have “fake” money. It’s just to allow me to test the
games. I did that and after about 30 minutes, I decided to download the
software.
There’s nothing complicated about downloading and installing the
software. The file is less than 500 KB. Downloading it will take no
more than 30 seconds to download and no more than five minutes to
install. When you register for the “trial” game, you will be able to
use the same details for the “real play” game.
The Games
They have more than 150 games and they keep on adding more. They have
four game categories: CRAPS, ROULETTE, BLACKJACK, and SLOTS.
Just make sure that if you want to play the Flash Version, click the
link that says INSTANT PLAY first. Don’t click the links of the any
games as that would automatically download the software.
I tried several games per category but naturally spent more time in
slots because they have more than 80 slots games. The graphics and game
play is efficient. It didn’t feel any different than when I play on an
actual casino in terms of the way the machine was functioning and in
terms of the look.
However, I didn’t win all that much. After trying out more than 20
slots, I ended up with a little less than $50. That is over and above
the $100 deposit I made. There were some games where I would lost more
and some games where I was able to recover the lost. However, the $50
is low for me. I am not saying that I expect casinos to make me win all
the time. Besides, that’s what gambling is all about.
I tried their Table game and won 30 after three hours of play. I also
played Video Poker and lost $20. That essentially evened out everything
for me.
What I didn’t like the most is the time it took for the game to load
when I tried the flash version for the test game. I waited for more
than three minutes. That may sound like it’s not a lot but when you are
doing the actual waiting, it’s just unreasonable.
They also have a link that leads you directly to their new games. I tried all the featured new games as well and broke even.
Bonuses
I always discourage friends from getting bonuses because it subjects
them to terms and conditions that limits their withdrawal amount. I
have also encountered a lot of sites where it becomes extremely
difficult to withdraw even when you have wagered all the money you got
from bonuses and are already using the money you deposited.
However, if you like bonuses, this site offers a lot:
• 100 percent bonus on your first deposit with $800 limit
• 100 percent bonus on your second deposit with $800 limit
• 100 percent bonus on your third deposit with $800 limit
They also have a winner’s welcome bonus, blackjack special bonus, slots
special bonus, weekly bonuses, second chance chip, weekend bonuses, and
others.
Banking
You can pay through:
• Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Diners Club International
• Eco
• Ipoint
• moneybookers
I didn’t have any problems cashing out my money which is more or less
the same amount as I deposited. The 48 hours wait was all I had to do
aside from the standard checking procedure.
Support
They have live chat available 24/7.
