Winward Casino
When
I first landed on Winward Casino, my heart jumped and I don’t want that
to happen to you so I will warn you. Put your volume down because there
is a pop up that plays a video. The video discusses the different
features of Winward Casino and gives a simple tutorial on how to
navigate the site. The site is not complicated so there really is no
need for the pop up.
Other than that initial surprise, Winward is one of the most compelling and active-looking onlnecasino.
Aesthetics
The site looks more active than other site online casinos I’ve been to.
This may be because of their dynamic graphics. The dominant image in
the middle of the screen has a the large 222% graphics that swings side
to side. The payment options scrolls and the top winners are shown too.
The layout hardly affects the game play but it affects how new visitors
will react to what they see. The layout of Winward Casino is
“different” but polarizing. It’s one of those designs which you will
either love or hate.
The dominant colors are black and gold.
Their main menu is a little different than that of other sites.
Particularly, they have three items that are new in my eyes: GET
STARTED, SITEMAP, and LEADERBOARD.
The GET STARTED Menu will guide you through how to download the
software and addresses some commonly asked questions. The sitemap is
like a table of contents. This is where you should go if you want a
quick link to any of your concerns.
The LEADERBORD is where you will find the names of the biggest winners.
Download and On-Site Gaming
You can download their software. You can download it two ways. One, you
can go to GET STARTED menu and you will find the link to the software.
You may also click on DOWNLOAD NOW. Click this will automatically
download the exe file. It will not take you more than ten seconds. It
is that fast. You will not even leave the page. Once the exe file is
complete, click on it and click RUN.
The software is compatible to both Mac and PC.
You may also play on-site but, as expected, there are certain games you
will not be able to access. However, both ways are fast and offer the
best kind of traffic. You wll also be asked for your name and contact
numbers.
The Games
I tried Blackjack first. They said its high limit blackjack but
it had $5 minimum. I’m not a really into blackjack all that much but
the game was okay. I enjoyed the graphics and it was fast. It’s not as
fast as I would have wanted it to be but I still think it’s okay. I won
$20 before deciding to move on to the Craps table.
It was okay, like the blackjack game. Actually, I found it slow but
another friend told me that it is just me because he found it okay. It
is, however, not too slow as to irritate me. I played it for three
minutes and lost all rounds before deciding to move on.
I tried the roulette game. I didn’t like the graphics at all but
decided that it’s a minor consideration. If I keep on winning and get
back what I lost on blackjack, I wouldn’t have mind the graphics. I
broke even. I have a bigger issue on this. They only offer American
Roulette which I found limited. I don’t like roulette all that much but
I like it to be there just as an option. It wasn’t. I also know, from
some of my friends, that European Roulette offers the best odds. I
don’t have the choice here.
I moved on to video poker. They have 10 variations including All
American, Bonus Poker, Deluxe, Dueces Wild, and others. Three of these
games serve as a bonus game for the other regular games. There is no
multi-hand version on all these games. I usually play multi-hand so
this is bad news for me.
Bonuses
The unique thing about this casino is that they have promotions almost
everyday. They have days when they will match all deposits with 50
percent of free chips, give you two times more than what you deposit,
bonus for the deposits you make on weekends, 70 percent to 150 percent

As mentioned in the opening, you will get a 222 percent welcome bonus on your first two deposits.
