7 Sultans

The Wizard of Odds - "7 Sultans offers Microgaming software in a flash format as well as a download. I played the Flash format, which looks just as good the usual Microgaming download.

 

"The Sultans are nice enough to offer a free $75 for an initial purchase of $75. They promise the bonus within 24 hours of player playing through the initial deposit. This promise was indeed kept in my case without having to request it. The bonus must also be wagered before cashing in.

"I blew the entire $150, so I can't comment on the expediency of honoring withdrawals."

 

Shangri-la Casino

           

By coincidence a number of the casinos I've visited lately have been Java sites. Shangri-la Casino is a recent example and it compares reasonably well. But the competition for good Java games is getting stiffer and the better ones are starting to cut into the high-end that's typically been the domain of download sites. Java has come a long way so it's fair to expect a decent game. Shangri-la offers that but not much more.

 

The website is a clean but simple affair. I think it's attractive and understated, but the Pit Boss finds it a bit dull -- to each his own.

 

Shangri-la offers an unusually wide variety of the basic casino ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล games. For instance, there are five types of Video Poker. In Blackjack, you can play at $10, $50, $100 and $250 tables with one or six decks. After registering, you can play for fun or money.

 

As I indicated earlier, the games themselves are not cutting edge Java. Perhaps they're best described as utilitarian: okay to look at, and they play without glitches.

 

On the support front, Shangri-la offers a number of FAQ pages, as well as email. You probably know by now that email-only support is one of my pet peeves, so I won't rant about it again. Suffice it to say that it's something Shangri-la could do to improve their site.

 

Sign-up bonuses are decent: deposit $100 to $499 and get a $25 bonus. Anything over $500 will get you a 15% bonus. At the cashier's cage you get one free withdrawal per month with a cost of $10 to $40 for each withdrawal thereafter depending on whether you want it mailed or Fedexed. The Bank Wire option is also available.

 

Silver Dollar

 

This casino is part of the English Harbour family. The Caribbean Gold, English Harbour, and Silver Dollar all operate in the same way. All three use dependable Microgaming software and have a very nice Playcheck interface to keep track of all your betting activity.

 

What motivated me to try these was the 20% bonus on wire transfers, up to deposits of $5000. I deposited the maximum $5000 by wire to each of these casinos. All three times the transactions went down very smoothly.

 

The only problem was my bank wanted to know the city and country where the money was going to. This information is not clearly spelled out on their web site, the answer being Saint John in Antigua.

 

After making a withdrawal a check arrived by Federal Express in about ten days. There are no fees for deposits or withdrawals. This is what good online gambling is all about.
