Royal Vegas Casino Review FAQs

Roll out the red carpet and buff that silverware; we’ve got a reel royal treat in store.

Royal Vegas has been on the online gambling throne for more than 20 years! It’s an extremely established online casino powered by the legendary iGaming studio, Microgaming.

Launched in the year 2000, it’s furnished with more than 700 games, including pokies, live dealer, and table games.

It’s operated by Baytree (Alderney) Ltd and has a licence from the Alderney Gambling Commission. This casino is independently tested by eCOGRA all of which make it incredibly trustworthy. It’s sure to delight players in New Zealand.

Royal Vegas Welcome Bonus

In a world of flicking, clicking and swiping, opening offers have to stand out from the virtual crowd. And boy, does Royal Vegas’s opening offer do just that.

This opening offer gives you five bites of the cherry.
Firstly, deposit just NZ$1 to receive 30 bonus spins on Book of Artem.

Your second deposit of NZ$5 rewards you with 50 spins on Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah.

A third deposit of NZ$5 gives you 70 free spins on Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah.

A fourth deposit of NZ$5 allocates you 90 free spins on Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah.

And a final deposit of anywhere between NZ$5 and NZ$300 will be 100% matched.

On the face of it, that’s a stonkingly good deal but there’s a big but! Any wins will need to be wagered through 200x before you can make a withdrawal. In an industry where 40x is the average, that’s a steep ask by anyone’s book. To rub salt into this wound, any wins from free spins are capped at NZ$100.

Alternatively, you could choose the standard opening offer, which is also available, of a NZ$1200 matched deposit bonus split across the first four deposits with a reduced wagering requirement of 70x.

As always, we’d recommend you read the terms and conditions, but because we’re lovely people, we’ve highlighted the main ones below.

Royal Vegas Casino Pokies

There are more than 700 games to play at this casino and the bulk of them are pokies

Given this casino started life in the early days, it’s probably unsurprising that the main game provider at this casino is Microgaming. This was one of the world’s first online casino pokie and software studios pioneering new games and game features.

They’re also the company behind the closest that the pokie world has to a household name – the Mega Moolah series. These progressive pokies were a trailblazer back in the day and are the original accumulator jackpots that are so common today.

They offer huge jackpots. Top titles at this casino include:

Mega Moolah
Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah
Cash Splash Progressive Reel
Juicy Joker: Mega Moolah
Atlantean Treasure: Mega Moolah

Microgaming has hundreds of pokie titles in its back catalogue of games, so new players can expect plenty of features and themes at this casino.

Over the years, only a couple of other software providers have been added to Royal Vegas Casino, including NetEnt, Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play and Live Dealer specialists Evolution Gaming.

Other Games to Play at Royal Vegas Casino

This is an unapologetic slot and table games casino. Don’t expect a sportsbook, bingo or eSports when joining.

It does what it’s been doing for a very long time and does it well.

Table games include classic variations of roulette, blackjack and baccarat. There’s also video poker and scratch cards to enjoy.

Live Dealer action is supplied by specialist Evolution Gaming, and although there’s not as many live games as some casinos out there, there’s still plenty to enjoy.

Top titles include:

Live Dream Catcher
Live Blackjack
Private Blackjack
Live Casino Hold ’em
Live Caribbean Stud Poker
Live Roulette

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Royal Vegas utilises a host of top-named payment methods for their customers, making them super easy and very safe. There’s an excellent mix of new and more traditional banking options for Kiwis.

Payment methods include:

Visa
Visa Electron
Mastercard
Paysafecard (deposit only)
iDebit
Trustly
Skrill
Neteller

Overall, this casino is pretty swift when it comes to paying out. All the methods listed above should be in your account within 24-48 hours when using eWallets. Other payment methods could take between one and five days. The maximum withdrawal at this casino is set at £10,000 sterling or currency equivalent for every 24 hours. The minimum deposit and withdrawal in most cases (none offers) is just NZ$10.

Customer Service at Royal Vegas Casino

Customer service at Royal Vegas gets our Royal seal of approval.

If something should go awry, then the first port of call is the handy Frequently Asked Questions section.

After that, the quickest way to reach them is via live chat. Should your enquiry require more formal communication methods, then email is also available.

Royal Vegas Experience on Mobile

This casino is perfectly playable via a web browser when using handheld devices. It’s a content-rich, feature-laden delight.

But if you want Apps, then you’ve got them; downloads are available for both Android and iOS.

We’d always recommend using an App because more data is stored on the phone, making reloads super quick should you hit a connection snag.

Review Summary – Waging a War on Welcome Bonuses

I could say, in summary, how pleased I was to see so many games from my all-time favourite pokie providers – Microgaming.

I could wax lyrically about how splendid the App is or how wonderful the addition of Live Dealer games in the last few years has been.

Superlatives like “stood the test of time” could be scattered like fallen tree leaves as a final summation.

However, since the start of this review, a distinct ill taste in the back of my throat has been festering. And what caused it is this simple question.

What online casino in this day and age promotes a 70x wagering requirement, never mind a 200x one, as a good thing? To rub even more salt into the wound, if you do manage to turn a profit after all that wagering, free spin wins are capped at NZ$100.

In an age where fair play casinos offer no wagering welcome offers and the competition is going big on smaller matched deposits with lower wagering requirements, how can this marketing approach have merit? Are they waging war on welcome bonuses?

If you can stomach the wagering requirements at this casino, then you’ll probably enjoy it.

But there are much, much better deals to be had.
