They have a very good reputation, and have chosen the Wagerworks Flash software as the underlying platform for their casino. You will find some unusual games including slots based on Cluedo, Monopoly and Jeopardy, plus the superb free spins slot, & Cleopatra. The video poker options are also a bit different to the norm, offering games up to 10 hands simultaneously and the unusual Phantom Belle video poker – a nice game but pretty crap odds compared to other VP variants. The software is no-download Flash and therefore runs in both IE and Firefox aswell as being suitable for play on an Apple Mac. The signup bonus is not the most generous but there is a monthly loyalty bonus scheme and a players club, with the amounts on offer increasing as you climb the VIP ladder. Finally worth noting is that you can see the payouts for each game in the paytables within the software which is a unique feature of Wagerworks casinos. USA residents are not accepted and wagering is in UK Pounds or Euros only.

Paddy Power Online Casino
Paddy Power casino runs on the Wagerworks platform, Wagerworks being a wholly-owned subsiduary of IGT who make a range of popular land-based casino games. Those of you familiar with slot games in the casinos in Vegas will probably have come across games like Cleopatra nd Wolf Run and these are present at Paddy Power along with around 15-20 other slot games, many of which have the popular free spins bonus rounds. That’s not to say that fans of the more traditional casino games are ignored – of course you will find games like Blackjack and Roulette along with several video poker variants and other games.

Paddy Power themselves are an Irish based bookmaker who have branched out into casino and poker and do a very good job, although it’s fair to say that most UK based bookmakers also know what they are doing in this area. The casino is a Flash based offering, so no download required, and is licenced in Alderney, a very strict jurisdiction which also provides backup services to players who have a dispute. That said, Paddy Power run a tight ship – they have to under their licence – so disputes are few and far between. Also, the way the bonus is awarded – being credited after the playthrough is complete – means that bonus disputes are rare to the point of obscurity.

As far as banking options go, these are limited to cards (debit and credit) and Neteller. Additionally, when you have set up a deposit option, that is then your sole deposit and cashout method. This is because of strict money-laundering regulations that Paddy Power are obligated to adhere to. As far as promotions and bonuses go, I’ve come across better to be honest, but I’m not really a bonus player so it’s of little consequence to me. If you like bonuses then you’re probably better off at a Microgaming casino to be honest.

Finally worth noting: Paddy Power has a “Player Protection” policy where you can limit your deposits, wagering or losses as you see fit any time. Once you have made a change, you cannot increase the limit for 7 days. Oh…and the list of country exclusions at Wagerworks casinos is large! US and Canadians, along with Germans and French cannot play here, although UK residents are welcome.
