Software

Plaza Royal Casino supports all the games you would expect to see on an industry-leading site. It is therefore possible for players to immerse themselves in Live Casino, and Slots, as well as play all of the prerequisite table games such as Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, and Craps. 

These games are provided in stunning HD picture quality and surround sound delivered by the world’s leading software firms. Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Microgaming games are all supported on the Plaza Royal platform. 

These tie-ups mean that you can play Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Big Bass Bonanza, Legacy of Dead, Sweet Bonanza, and John Hunter and the Book of Tut at Plaza Royal. 

Betting

Plaza Royal Casino has collated an interesting mix of games for its customers to try out. Of course, the website is highly focused on pokies, but this is a given at all online casinos. Not only do these games allow random number gaming (RNG) technology to be used at its limits, but it also allows casino providers to stack their platforms with content that offers a lower RTP. Return to player rates tend to average out at around 90% on slots games which is much lower than the 97% that customers are expected to win back at the Roulette table. 

However, for those who like to be adventurous, Plaza Royal also gives its clients the chance to invest in its range of scratchcards. These products are ideal for players who are lacking in time, but who still wish to have the opportunity to land a sizable pot. Many scratchcards that are available in today’s market offer top prizes of at least 1000x the stake, something that can not be easily passed upon.

The only discernible downside that you might notice about the Plaza Royal Casino website is that there is no opportunity to bet on sports events. I was a bit surprised that this was the case on this website. As a close relation to Mr Play (which hosts a sportsbook facility, I thought that Plaza Royal would possess something similar. If a sportsbook was added to this site in due course, this would certainly enhance the offer.

Games

Plaza Royal does not have the biggest range of pokies or table games, but those that it does support are high-quality titles. In all, the platform gives you the chance to play 750+ individual titles. Included in this count is over twenty jackpot games, and for those of you who love to drop and win style games, ten separate Megaways slots games can be accessed. 

On the table game front, Evolution Live Gaming technology comes to the fore. Lightning Roulette, Lightning Baccarat, and Lightning Dice can all be played in the company of a live dealer. While live game shows such as Crazy Time and Monopoly Live add to the glitz that Plaza Royal aims to convey. 

Withdrawal Times, Limit and Methods

Plaza Royal Casino adheres to the philosophy that Customers Are Really Everything (C.A.R.E). Although I can only imagine that this is a buzz phrase that has been dreamt up by a canny marketing executive at Mr Play towers, it does seem to drive the firm’s withdrawal policy. In comparison to many of its rivals, Plaza Royal Casino delivers effective withdrawal times, limits, and methods.

Withdrawals can be completed for no fee, by a variety of methods, with the expectation that you will receive your funds promptly. The withdrawal limits that Plaza Royal have set are also in keeping with market averages. A minimum withdrawal limit of NZ $10 is to be expected, while the upper limit of NZ $10,000 per month is enough to satisfy all but the luckiest! 

If an NZ $10000 maximum is not enough, the generous VIP that Plaza Royal Casino has also designed provides an opportunity for this rate to be negotiated. 

Deposit Methods

You only need to have a glance at the table below to see how flexible Plaza Royal Casino are when it comes to depositing methods. Out of many casinos that serve the New Zealand market, it appears that Plaza Royal is one of the best when it comes to accepting funds by all of the most popular banking options. I must strike one note of caution, however.

And that is that Kiwis can only fund their accounts directly in New Zealand Dollars if they perform these transactions by using a VISA or a Mastercard. For those of you who wish to use e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill, or Neteller, to boost your bankroll, New Zealand dollars will be converted into Euros or Pound Sterling to complete this operation. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility that you may be hit by transaction fees and losses relating to exchange rate volatility, but hopefully, this cost will be minimal.

Casino Licenses

Plaza Royal Casino is in the enviable position of being licenced by two of the world’s most illustrious awarding bodies, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Holding licences from these two agencies brings with it both benefits and responsibilities. In terms of benefits, casinos that have been approved by authorities in the U.K. and Malta see their reputations enhanced. Being a trusted organisation can only be good for the profitability of a business in any sector, although I suspect that this is even more important when it comes to online casinos. 

In terms of responsibilities, casinos that are licenced by the UKGC and MGA must meet high ideals. These can mean that firms are required to ring-fence customer deposits, use the latest SSL encryption technology to protect player data, and make significant investments to protect players against the danger posed by problem gambling.

So although these licences have no direct impact on how businesses deal with their New Zealand based customers, they do suggest that firms holding such accreditation will be responsible when trading in different jurisdictions. 

The UKGC has awarded Plaza Royal Casino, through its owner’s Aspire Global International Limited, licence 39483. 

The MGA has awarded Plaza Royal Casino licence MGA/CRP/148/2007.

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

The rewards system that Plaza Royal has set about creating is a little complex, but at the end of the day also looks lucrative. All players are invited to join the exclusive club at Plaza Casino as New Members. As players spend more on the site, they earn more loyalty points. The more points you earn the higher you can climb up the club ladder.

For those who manage to reach the dizzying heights of the Platinum level, VIP membership awaits. Although gaining VIP status is a matter for head office and is therefore by invite only. Being a member of the exclusive club at Plaza Royal brings with it a multitude of benefits. These range from a birthday bonus to weekly free spins via the Sunday Spins reward offer. VIP membership brings with it express pay-outs and the chance to negotiate withdrawal limits. All perks are well worth accepting if the chance arises.

Player Protection

Plaza Royal Casino has all of the player protections in place that you would expect from a casino that is licenced by both the UKGC and the MGA. Indeed, the responsible gaming section of the site provides detailed insights into how players can detect whether they have a gambling problem and if they feel that this is the case, what they can do to rectify this situation. 

The account restriction tools, that players can set up via links in this tab, are viewed as being one of the key ways in which the impact of problem gambling can be reduced. 

• Deposit Limits
• Time Out Periods
• Self-Exclusion
• Reality Checks

Can all be set up to reduce the time or cost of a player’s visit to the site. 

Deposit limits can be set up for daily, weekly, or monthly periods. 

Time out periods can last for any length of time between one day and six weeks.

And, self-exclusion periods can be activated for between six months and five years. 

All of these are vital ways of protecting players from their behaviour patterns where this is deemed to be necessary. 

If players need help in activating any of these restrictions, they should contact the support team at support@mrplaypartners.com 

Winners

Even though Plaza Royal Casino was only established in 2020, it has quickly realised that one of the best ways to keep players interested in its platform is to provide updated information regarding clients who have been lucky on its site. Plaza Royal takes this marketing message to extremes.

There is, in fact, a constant thread of information on-screen at all times in the main lobby area, that highlights exactly who has won a big prize and what they have won it on in real-time. At the time of going to press, I can confirm that Dejan B. had recently won $3500 on Rainbow Riches Megaways, Manfred had won $6300 on Bigger Bass Bonanza, and Gabriel M. had won $2700 on Blackjack the Strip. No doubt the marketing team at Plaza Royal will be giving you constant updates on this theme.
