Located at www.grandevegascasino.com, Grande Vegas Casino is a mobile online casino that accepts Bitcoins and US dollars. It first opened its doors in 2009 giving it a 10+ year track record.

The platform is powered by Real Time Gaming (RTG) software, with the bulk of games being slots, with an impressive collection of video poker games too. A few card games can be found under table games while specialty games make up a small balance with American/European Roulette and craps.

Grande Vegas Casino free play casino games are available to try. However, an account will first need to be registered that takes about 10 minutes. Players don’t need to make a deposit to play for free. Additionally, the casino offers a no deposit sign up bonus of $25 simply by registering.

Although we were told by customer support that Grande Vegas Casino is licensed, it does not display any details. The operator uses encryption (SSL) to ensure that transactions are protected.

American players can make a Bitcoin or USD deposit to Grande Vegas Casino using a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or in Bitcoins from a Bitcoin wallet. Furthermore, players can make a Bitcoin withdrawal, as well as a USD withdrawal via bank wire, Overnight Express or MoneyGram.

CASINO REVIEW OF GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

At the bottom, players can find further links, including to the Terms & Conditions.

When logging in, players can see major categories of games listed under one another on the left side of the screen. Within each, it’s possible to filter down further. Unfortunately, there are no live dealer casino games at Grande Vegas Casino.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

The ‘Support’ page has a less-than comprehensive set of FAQ, but it doesn’t hurt to check there first. On the other hand, the T&C has a lot of information, and you should read it anyways.

LIVE DEALER GAMES AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

A drawback of the casino is the absence of live dealer games.

GAMES FOR REAL MONEY AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

Grande Vegas Casino real money games are meant to provide entertainment. While players should not equate winning with fun, there is the chance of cash prizes when playing for real money. Also, all bonuses and rewards are only applicable to real money wagers. While players can enjoy free play games at Grande Vegas Casino, it’s just not as fun in the long run.

ONLINE TABLE GAMES AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

Online casino games categorized under table games are card games that mainly include baccarat, blackjack and poker. Of the poker games, you’ll find Caribbean Hold’Em, Caribbean Stud Poker and Let ’em Ride with progressive jackpots. In total, there are 15 games in this category from RTG, which is not very significant.

VIDEO POKER GAMES AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

At 56 games, Grande Vegas Casino video poker represents an impressive range from RTG. Included are single-hand and multi-hand variants that are immediately recognizable. For example, there’s All American Poker, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild.

SLOT GAMES AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

Grande Vegas Casino slots represent by far the greatest collection of games at around 140. It’s possible to filter these by 3-reel, 5-reel, 6-reel, bonus round and floating symbols. From there, a player can decide on games based on the theme they prefer, the number of pay lines, etc.

There are a good number of progressive slots for players who enjoy high risk/high reward. Most of these have local jackpots, such as Cash Bandits 3, but Aztec’s Millions has a pooled progressive jackpot that can grow to millions.

SPECIALTY GAMES AT GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

With just over half a dozen, Grande Vegas Casino specialty games count 1 American and 1 European online roulette game, 1 keno, 1 scratch card and 1 craps game among the constituents. The count is not stellar, so we hope the casino remedies this by adding additional providers.

GRANDE VEGAS CASINO MOBILE ONLINE CASINO

Access Grande Vegas Casino mobile from an instant play web browser, just about anywhere. All you need is an Android or iOS device. As with most casinos nowadays, there is no downloadable Grand Vegas Casino app for handheld devices. It’s really not necessary anyways as the internet has become faster and more reliable.

Browsing through the site is really no different than from desktop. A hamburger menu to the top-left makes searching for the most common links more efficient. All functions performed over a desktop are available over mobile and tablet. This includes performing a mobile deposit or withdrawal, live chat support, bonus claims and participating in games and tournaments.

WHAT WE THOUGHT OF GRANDE VEGAS CASINO

Generally, we do like RTG games, but since we believe in choice, it would be nice to see some other developers added to the platform. In particular, we’d like to see more table games and specialty games and the addition of live dealer – where the selection is weak or non-existent.

Americans will find the deposit options of credit card or Bitcoins pretty standard. However, withdrawal options give a little more choice than the typical casino that accepts American players. Unfortunately, withdrawal fees are unclear, so speak to the casino first. The $10,000/week withdrawal limit is super but is more likely going to benefit a high roller rather than a casual player.

We liked the inclusion of a no deposit bonus for new players and the 25% cashback for existing ones in addition to other perks including Comp Points, VIP, slot tournaments and raffles.

The casino says it’s licensed, but we would still like to see the casino provide a seal or logo for comfort. The other thing we’d say is that the website could do with a redesign to appeal to a fresher and more enthusiastic American audience.
