888 Casino

The website offers around 10 language options including English, Chinese, German, Russian and more whilst also accepting multiple currencies. Contrastingly there are a number of restricted countries, roughly 40 including parts of the US and Australia.

Layout & user interface

The dark theme of the website is easy on the eyes and the layout is intuitive, with a home page featuring lists of top games, new games, exclusive games and so on. It takes no time to find something to your liking and if you’re wanting to find something slightly more obscure or niche then you can utilise the search feature. Alternatively if you want to look at a particular genre in more depth you can navigate to them via the sidebar to access pages such as, jackpots, live casino, casino games etc.

The 888casino website benefits from focusing on providing an excellent online casino experience unlike other companies that are splitting their efforts betweens this as well as other betting such as sports. This shines through in the interface of this website compared to others. All your important information such as account balance is shown clearly and concisely at the top right of the page.

Unfortunately the loading times aren’t quite as glamorous, they aren’t bad, in fact in comparison to other websites they are just fine and at least average in the overall picture. However given the lack of a sports book to be run on the site it would have been nice if some of the time that is usually be spent working on that, could be utilised to improve the loading times particularly on the live games as they sometimes take a while to load.

Software & game providers

888casino uses a large array of developers including some very popular developers fans of whom will be happy about, such as NetEnt and Microgaming. Other developers consist of, Thunderkick, WMS, NextGen Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, Yggdrasil Gaming, Realistic Games, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger Gaming, IGT (WagerWorks), Lightning Box, Barcrest Games, Play’n GO, Quickspin, Eyecon, Big Time Gaming, Reel Time Gaming, Playtech.

However, where 888casino really shines is in its use of its own software, 888 Gaming, which is fantastic for creating a unique and exclusive experience that isn’t replicated on other websites. They update the software to keep things fresh and relevant and this really shows in the softwares use of fantastic graphics, animations and sound effects that stand out from other sites using the same providers.

To play you can download the software onto your desktop for convenience which is nice for regular customers as it’s quick and easy with faster access to the games you want to play. However generally the trusted and tried method of playing through the website will suffice.

Bonuses and promotions

888casino has a 100% bonus on your first deposit up to £100. This sounds reasonable but what are the terms and conditions of this offer?

• Winnings generated through the bonus are capped at £500

• Deposits made with NETELLER or Skrill are not eligible for the welcome bonus
• Winnings can only be withdrawn after you have met your wagering requirements

It’s also important to look at what games you can play whilst contributing to your wagering requirements through this bonus. The games that offer 100% contribution to your wagering requirement are as follows, Video Slots & Slots, Scratch Card, Keno, Race, Arcade and Dice. All other games offer a 20% or less wagering contribution so aren’t really worth your time if you want to meet it within the time frame provided. Particularly Blackjack, Live Blackjack, Hi-Lo, Video Poker, Power Video Poker, Baccarat, Live Baccarat, Live Casino Hold’ Em, Live Roulette and Craps as these are 10% or lower wagering contributions. See full T&Cs.

Whilst this offer may be slightly lower than other casino welcome bonuses, the low wagering requirements in comparison to other offers makes it a very worthwhile bonus indeed.

888casino even has a separate promotion for every day of the week with small play-through requirements.

888casino also has an £88 free play, no deposit bonus for people who want to experience free play, however, you obviously won’t be able to exchange any of your winnings for cash.

888casino really provides a truly authentic experience and is as close as you can get to replicating the feeling of playing in an actual casino from your home.

Slots

The main pro here is choice, 888casino provides you with around 500 types of online slots on its website so there truly is something for everyone, they also offer exclusive to 888casino slots which provides something others aren’t able to offer. Some exclusive slots are, Greedy Dragon, Wild Saloon, Trail of Treats and more.

Thankfully 888casino has recognised the fact that they have so much on offer and have split the slots into subsections for ease of browsing to find what really suits you.

Video Poker

Unfortunately this isn’t 888casinos strong suit, it only offers 7 video poker games which considering the range of selection in their slots department, 7 is slightly underwhelming, these include All American Double Up, Jacks or Better, Joker Wild Double Up and Deuces Wild Double Up. They are definitely fun to play but given how huge video poker is these days, the lack of diversity in this department is disappointing.

Table Games

Variations of Blackjack and Roulette, 888casino offers the mainstream versions of these games including but not limited to, European Roulette, American Blackjack, Multihand Blackjack, Low Stakes Roulette.
