About Golden Tiger Casino
Golden Tiger Casino welcomes New Zealand players with open arms.
This oriental-themed website is one of the grand old dames of the gambling world. It emerged in the early days of online casinos back in 2001 and was powered by one of the world’s leading software studios, Microgaming.
In 2022, Games Global – one of the world’s biggest iGaming companies, acquired Microgaming’s back catalogue of games and its game distribution platform.
That makes this casino highly recommended and entirely trustworthy.
Other Bonuses and Promotions
Golden Tiger Casino is a member of Casino Rewards along with other similar casinos such as Zodiac Casino, Luxury Casino and Quatro Casino.
The Casino Rewards group has been around since 2000. Once you join any casino affiliated with Casino Rewards you then get a Loyalty/VIP account.
After that, the more money you wager, the more points you collect.
When you collect 1,000 points, you can cash them in for your reward.
There are a total of six status-level programmes, and the more you spend, the better the rewards.
Rewards include weekly and weekend promotions, bigger bonuses, priority support, birthday gifts and entries into sweepstakes.
Golden Tiger Slots
Golden Tiger Casino offers more than 550 games to choose from. The vast majority are slots and they are entirely served up by iGaming specialist Microgaming.
From its HQ in The Isle of Man Microgaming developed the world’s first online casino software back in 1994.
What has made them a household name for slot fans is their progressive jackpot network.
You can expect HUGE jackpots on offer at this casino. Put it this way, Microgaming progressive slots have paid out more than €1.45 billion to date.
Top titles include:
- Mega Moolah
- King Cashalot
- Fruit Fiesta
- SupaJax
- Cash Splash
Other Games to Play at Golden Tiger Casino
Let’s be honest; there’s not an amazing choice of non-slot games at Golden Tiger.
Table game fans can enjoy roulette, video poker, blackjack and baccarat, and they recently added a smattering of Live Casino games – 10 in total – courtesy of teaming up with live dealer specialist Evolution.
Top table game titles include:
- European Roulette
- American Roulette
- Atlantic City Blackjack
- Sic Bo
- Joker Poker
Live dealer fans can enjoy:
- Live Baccarat
- Live Blackjack
- Dream Catcher
Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
One of the best features of this casino is its range of payment methods. There’s a good mix of traditional banking and eWallets. However, cryptocurrency fans will need to look elsewhere.
Methods include:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Interac
- Neteller
- Skrill
- AstroPay
- Bank Transfer
- Paysafecard (deposit only)
Supported currencies include USD, CAD, EUR, GMP and NZD.
However, if you’re not playing with NZ$ then expect a daily exchange rate when you withdraw with a conversion fee of 2.5.%.
Bank transfers also incur a charge of $50USD for withdrawal amounts under $3000 USD and $100 USD for any withdrawals over $3000 USD.
Maximum withdrawals for regular players are set at $4000 USD per week but can be more if you’re a member of the loyalty programme.
Customer Service at Golden Tiger Casino
This casino’s multilingual helpers on the hotline are available 24/7 and 365 days a year.
They’re easily contactable via toll-free telephone, email or, as you may prefer in today’s modern world, via Live Chat.
However, there are no Twitter or Facebook accounts if you’re a fan of call centre action via social media.
Golden Tiger Casino Experience on Mobile
Apps for Android and Apple are available to download from the website which is a good job because the laptop version could use a facelift. It looks a little dated. What’s particularly annoying is the website is locked down before you join it.
I have no greater pet hate in gambling than this.
Today’s tech-savvy audience would expect to be able to have a mooch around any website before they part with their hard-earned cash.
I mean, you wouldn’t hit the Amazon homepage and find it saying, “We sell pants” and “register with us to find out what shapes and colours we offer”.
You can access the website on any mobile device, but it’s best viewed on a laptop.
Review Summary – A Casino with a Perplexing Mix of Pros and Cons
You finally got to the end of this review and have one question left! Should I join?
The answer to that is both “yes” and “no”.
Yes, because this is home to some of Microgaming’s best progressive slots and if you’re a true fan of this company, it’s like watching your favourite football team play.
And “no” because this casino sometimes behaves like a drunken Uncle refusing to leave a 21st Birthday Celebration.
Let me explain further.
Golden Tiger has a huge opening offer for new players, but the first two deposits come with a ridiculous – you’d have to be 15 whiskies deep at a party to consider – 200x wagering requirement.
It has a great selection of banking methods but the affront to charge for currency conversion and bank transfers.
When it comes to game variation, it’s limited. There’s no significant Live Dealer offer, sports, bingo, lotto or instant wins. It’s more of a side shuffle party dancer than a total rock-out.
Its rewards scheme feels like a throwback to an early version of club cards, and the website is as dated as an old tweed suit.
Lastly, it has a licence but not one considered pedigree like the UK or Malta.
This casino has been operating for 20-odd years, so it must be doing something right, but when you compare it to the competition, it’s older, dated, and – like the Uncle I mentioned earlier – probably should have left the party to the young uns and gone home a while ago.
Because modern-day online casinos offer ergonomically designed masterpieces of websites designed to thrill, generous opening offers that come with no or little wagering and choice galore with thousands of games and a big focus on Live Dealer action.
This casino is a perplexing mix of pros and cons. And having spurted all that negativity, I, personally, would still join because I love Microgaming slots and I’d take the hit on the first two deposits to enjoy a 30x wagering requirement on the last three deposits.
But then I’m the drunken Uncle who never leaves a good party.
