Casino Lux

Hello everyone! I do not know if you read my last reviews, but this is the second month I have decided to try one casino each day. Well, today on my list of casinos I stumbled upon this casino: Casino Lux. I never heard of it but thought it was worth a shot. Plus, it has a grade of 7.8 on askgamblers.com, which is not good, but not the worst either.
The casino’s games are powered by Ash Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, CryptoLogic, Electracade, Grand Virtual and Playtech. Microgaming is my favourite, for various reasons that I do not think need to be explained, since everyone that has little experience with casinos know what i am talking about.

The casino’s website has a cool picture of the Avengers and underneath a Marvel Jackpot, which was very high. I like the fact that the website is very helpful and you can not find info fast. The casino can be played only by downloading the casino’s software. The online version, is anyway, in my opinion not very helpful, since it is not very comfortable and I always find myself having issues when playing this way. There is only one deposit bonus, which matches 1005 up to 200. This is very disappointing for a casino with a relatively average to high grade. The wagering requirements are 40x, which are quite high.

I deposited 30 euros and started playing some slots. I was very curious to see what extra slots they have (besides Playtech) and if they are any good. I found some nice, but not compared to Playtech (not even talking about Microgaming). I lost all my money, even though the slots were paying quite well. Sometimes i won big, but most of the time I did not win anything. I do not necessary recommend this casino, I think there are others worth your money.

My ratings are as follows:
Software: 8/10 Ash Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, CryptoLogic, Electracade, Grand Virtual and Playtech
Bonuses 6/10
Support:?
Cashouts: ?

Casino Lux is running a GigaMedia software. I never played on that kind of casino and I decided to give it a try, a few months ago. I wanted to use the live chat to contact the support team, but they were unavailable. They apparently are not available most of the time, because I never ever saw they were online. It is distressing fact to see the inexistence of instant communication on an online casino. It is more heartbreaking to feel that an online casino do not spare any effort to draw gamblers attention when others are doing their best and pay meticulous attention to every detail to bring the highest quality service and increase their website’s traffic.

Although I downloaded the software and finished registering very fast, I was disturbed with another annoying fact: when you go to the download option, the download starts instantly!!! Someone that is only looking to read some information could be taken by surprise when hitting that page. These hidden incitements can chase away the clients. Besides, there is no flash version available: we live in a world in which competition is becoming tougher and tougher. This is unacceptable, for me!!

Casino Lux offers an interesting bonus with 100% match for the first deposit up to $200 with very fair wagering requirements on Roulette, Blackjack and slots.
The graphics and animations are not to my taste.They are less appealing than the graphics of other online casinos. I felt a quite different atmosphere, and I think that is due to the GigaMedia software with which I am not familiar.

Nevertheless, Casino Lux offers a wide range of games that can whet the appetite of every type of gambler. One of the most popular games among the players I found particularly entertaining is Game Show. In the end, I will give an overall average mark of 4.5/10, because of all the disadvantages listed above.

Casino Lux has a simple looking website and is one of those casinos that pick and choose casino games from all over to get the best selection to your doorstep. Signing up is quick and simple - you just have to sort through one of their forms and in a minute you can download and start playing. They have a lot of payment options and they have some decently sized jackpots. At the last count I saw about $4 million being up for grabs which is no mean amount to play for. There is no instant play option - this is download only - it does seem as if the owners have skimped slightly on the site - there is no live chat there, you can only access the live chat via the downloaded lobby - the website is essentially a download link for their casino.

The casino is well designed - loads of games, loads of options. It may just be me, but I am not a fan of the presentation of their games. The graphics and animations may suit some players, but I found them to be dated as opposed to quirky but that is a personal taste. I also did not like the sound effects and found them annoying. A simple bleep is enough for me to start the game and not a woman repeatedly saying the same thing over and over. Even so there are all the games options you would expect - variations of blackjack and roulette. The slot games include video slots - these are perhaps slightly on the disappointing side in terms of graphics as well - I am more used to high tech graphics and what you got was just enormous fruit machines. This casino is worthwhile joining if they have a decent bonus offer otherwise there is more entertainment elsewhere.

oh side. the youtube video of the guy showing you how to win on william hill casino craps with the 3 steps actually does work pretty good. i manged to take $15 and get it up too $40 in a couple hours. granted i mainly did min bets which was like 0.20 cents on the line and maybe 0.02 cents on the hardways. i image if you were willing to up the ante and risk a little more you could profit pretty good.

Wouldnt recommend this, i signed up soley to play craps on it. ill admit the craps table is the nicest around, little smaller visually but the features where made nice.

-dealer voices had almost full range of lingo/slang
-come out roll you were allowed to chose from 5 dice. although they were randomly set to a certain. if im correct the order was 3, 6, 1, 3, 2 which allowed you too choose 2 dice how you wanted
- also rolling the dice it went to another view showing an arm with dice in your hand you could move the arm along the railing and clicking the mouse button you could toss the dice. at the same time if you held the mouse button down and flicked the mouse faster and released the button you could toss the dice faster.
-nice feature after winning you get a popup option to rack your winnings in, double it up, or clear all bets.

Besides all the little bonus on the table. i found the game ridiculously far fetched just like any other online craps game.

Started with 20 cash they gave me 50 bonus. at first i got off to great start. usuing only the min bets of $1 i had the 6,8 and the hard ways covered. rolling was great seem reasonable, i was rolling for good stretched and hit a few hardways. managed to get up too about 90 bucks from 70 with in half hour.

Then it all went to hell. anything i choose or double up bets they would lose.and it always seem to be just one bet away, id bet on any 7, lose then next roll be a 7, i would bet on horn bet, miss and the next bet would hit the horn. i would bet 6. 8 hardway and 2,10 would hit vis versa

Then id figure maybe ill raise the stakes and play pass/dont pass simple enough. betting $5 hit a few but in the end same thing. anything i bet would seem to be the opposite. the table even has a chart on the side like roulette where it keeps track number rolled.

Bottom line. lost it all, i never planned on investing more than the min. $20 cash. i stuck to the basics and played min bets majority of the way, picking pass and dont pass pending how the table was going. played only 6, 8 a few hard ways and few horn bets for a dollar. like i said anytime i picked the darkside the point would hit, anytime i picked pass, i would seven out.

I say play at your own risk.i have tried a lot of craps games from basically all available casino sites and none are worth it my opinion now i only play for fun and wager min amounts so its something to waste time. the only true site i can recommend if any would be william hill casino. not casino club version but the regular one which allows min of 20 buy in, instead of 60

Good table with large view and dealer will cal out the numbers but no lingo. only plus to this is there min bet is 0.50 total at any time so drop 10 cents on the pass and 20 cents each on the 6,8 and made for a good and made my 20 last. after hitting the min. 0.50 bet you can actually place penny bets on anything else so playing all the hard ways for 0.04 cents and winning 8 cents was nice to see.

Hope this helped, my recommendations:

1/ william hill casino - very cheap wagering, money last a long time
2/ casino lux - graphics wise and fun features
3/ between trying win palace, spin palace, 777 dragon, highnoon, rushmore, basically anything on the internet search that came under top 10/best online casino / craps i tried and there no better than the first 2 picks they were all uninstalled after about 5 mins of testing.
