Betting

Once inside the nostalgic theme is carried through to perfection with table games including roulette, blackjack, baccarat and craps all with the perfect font for the period.

There’s also a live dealer section that includes interactive game show style offerings such as Dream Catcher.

Fans of Video Poker can indulge themselves on this site which also has Blackjack and Slot Tournaments.

There are also scratchcards if you have an itch for those types of games.

If you love Keno then this casino is for you. This mashed-up version of bingo/roulette/lottery is a fun game.

It’s surprising more casinos don’t have it!

Software & Games

With more than 500 slots on offer you can have a rootin’-tootin’ time at River Belle Casino.

Originally the company paired up with Microgaming to power the games on this site. However, they’ve since added NetEnt and Evolution. Whilst they may not have the 100 plus games providers of other online casinos they’re extremely well themed in terms of the wild west style so what they have works extremely well.

Enjoy video slots, classic slots, progressive jackpots and MegaSpin slots.

There’s a great mix of games on offer from Norse mythology games such as Thunderstruck 2  to joining King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table on Grail Quest.

Vampires, detectives, superheroes, gangsters whatever you’re into then the likelihood is you’ll find it here.

What’s really good to see is that there’s a link to a list of Return to Player percentages. This means you can check out what the percentage paid out over time is before you choose what to spin on.

Deposits and Withdrawals

If this was the wild west then you’d be handing over a gold coin whilst some bartender bit into it to see if it was real. When it comes to banking, River Belle offers a good range of modern and traditional banking methods for players in New Zealand. The maximum daily withdrawal is $4,000. Both minimum deposits and withdrawals vary depending on the method used but are between NZ$5 and NZ$20. Speed-wise you can expect your money in less than 48 hours when using an eWallet but traditional banking, such as bank transfer, could take up to seven days. 

Casino Licenses

This casino is operated by Baytree (Alderney) Limited and licensed by Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Baytree is a very respected branding in gambling circles and operates scores of online casinos including Platinum Play and Ruby Fortune. A licence from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission may not be as well known as, say, one from Malta. However, it is globally recognised for its high standards. 

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

From the minute you join River Belle Casino you’ll be able to reap the exclusive rewards that their free to earn loyalty programme offers.

Every time you wager you will be clocking up Loyalty Points.

Once you reach a Loyalty Level and unlock it you’ll get unique rewards.

Player Protection

I do like an online casino that takes responsible gambling seriously.

And River Belle Casino does just that!

They make two things very clear on their responsible gambling section. One, that gambling should be seen as entertainment not making money and two, they advise all players to keep track of money and time whilst playing.

If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour you can self-exclude for a minimum of 24 hours up to six months.

You can also set daily, weekly or monthly limits at any time.

To exclude or set a limit you simply need to contact customer support via Live Chat or email.

There’s also a handy questionnaire so you can self-check if you think you’re developing a problem. The page also includes third party links to support groups.

Winners

Unfortunately, there’s no section on this site dedicated to previous winners. However, they make a point in their T&Cs that “if you win a sum of money or any other prize regarded by the casino as worthy of publicity then you agree to make yourself available for any event of such a nature arranged by the casino”.

What they do have is a Blog. And in this lovely Blog is a story about a River Casino member scooping €7.7M on Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah in 2020.

WOW!

Blog’s are a great way to communicate with customers, it’s a shame more casinos don’t have them

Well played River Belle!

Conclusion – A Trailblazer Still Going Great Guns

River Belle is one of the true trailblazers of the wild west of online casinos. It first emerged in 1997 and its nostalgic branding still works wonders. Sadly, it does use a rather outdated marketing method of not allowing you to browse the site unless you sign-up. To me, that’s like joining a gym based on external signage alone. 

Having said that, this online casino is as appealing as a hot bath after a day on the ranch.

It oozes character. It has quality games and is more than enough to keep you interested. There’s popular payment methods for New Zealand players and a great loyalty programme.

They rightly point out that online casinos should be viewed as entertainment not a way to make cash. This is a very entertaining casino. Round up the posse old-timer and pour me some rotgut because this cowboy is saddling up for some spins.
