Rival Casino Review

Update: Currently as of 4/15/2010,  there are some problems with some of the Rival Gaming casinos not having correct payouts on their blackjack games and there may be other issues which are involving whether the parent software provider, Rival Gaming, or the individual casino,  can set the rate of payback on games?

If you trust the casino, then it is not a problem. Otherwise, you might be walking into a casino with their slots set to pay back at a very low percentage.

Rival casinos are graphic rich. That's the first thing I noticed about SlotO'Cash which was the first of the bunch that I visited. My Visa was denied but the usemywallet (quicktender) option was there and yes one is the same so if you see a usemywallet logo you can use quicktender through that service.

Please note at this time that at the time I wrote the Rival casinos review that it was done how I do everything here, which is to check it out myself. Unknown to me at the time, my account had been as they later termed it "flagged" and as such rather than seeing the full amount you can wager what I saw was a restricted amount. I did not know so I wrote accordingly. *The flagging had to do with my being an affiliate and sending myself through the process. I usually use testers but that is only when it's a software that I am familiar and this is a new one to me. Anyway the actual wager amounts are going to be at the bottom of this article as wrote to me by ThisIsVegas online casino.

Video poker was my first stop to see if the odds were to my liking. Full house paid nine and the flush paid six so I found that acceptable.

Blackjack minimum wager is one dollar and maximum is one hundred dollars. I can see the casino taking it on the chin with a spread like that and blackjack players will understand what I mean. Usually the minimum is five dollars and the maximum one hundred or sometimes two hundred but in either case it is a number assigned to prevent the gambler from winning all their money back in one large bet.

Slots are my next stop and i-slots are the specialty at SlotO'Cash and they're good looking games. They take a short while to download however and I'm on a cable connection. One of the games I downloaded had a minimum wager of 1 cent and a maximum wager of fifty cents which maximum wager came to seventy-five cents and thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents, respectively. Upon further examination it would appear that all the i-slot games have similar wager situations.

Wheel of Cash video slot game has a two dollar minimum wager and fifty dollar maximum wager as are all of their video slots. Interestingly they have some games that mimic the look of the games found in many USA casinos such as the slot game which has all the sevens in different colors and I've mentioned the Wheel of Cash game well they also have the Reel of Fortune. Several other themed video slot games add to those mentioned to make up a nice variety of video slots.

Three reel slots also are available and in fact that is what the sevens game is about. It is called Sevens and Bars. There is also a nice variety of three reel slot games all in different themes and all have the option to go from a two dollar maximum wager to a fifty dollar maximum wager.

Progressive slot games at SlotO'Cash are called Major-Moolah and Strike Gold.

Here are the correct wager maximums:

For the short answer default sizes for VP single line are $5/spin [max $25/spin], 4 line are $20/spin ($5/line). Blackjack is $200/hand [max $500]. The slots can vary but most of the defaults are at 0.25 coins where the max can be 0.5 or 1. In some cases the coins can go up to $10.

Example Scary Rich max bet is default $50/spin but for max is $100. Any player that's VIP has the high limits available.
