VC Casino Review

VC Casino us just one part of a larger group of gaming sites which are “powered by Victor Chandler.” Now while this just gives a wonderful mental image of some little man locked away on a treadmill the truth is not quite that entertaining to think about. No, The Victor Chandler Group is a very well known UK bookmaker that first got their start in 1946. The company has grown and moved since that time as they now operate their world wide operation out of Gibraltar. We like the fact that throughout the entire history of The Victor Chandler Group they have prided themselves on operate on the principles of honour and integrity. In fact their decision to leave the UK in favour of Gibraltar is believed to be the spark that convinced the British government to un-veil tax free betting in the UK. When you take all this in, you are faced with a company that is more than capable of providing full player security. With their company slogan claiming “60 years of trusted gaming” who are we to contradict them?

With any security questions we might have had soundly answered, it was time to check out the actual site. VC Casino claims that one of their main goals is to operate with “simplicity and efficiency.” We think that they hit the nail on the head with the design of their casino. You won’t find all the bells and whistles going off in every direction here, but will be met instead with a very tasteful tidy site. The layout is very clear and easy to follow on all counts. New users will have no problems finding anything they could possibly need for their visit. You will find clear directions covering everything from registration and money transactions to game rules and basic strategies. We think that the strategy piece of this is a nice touch as it is something we don’t come across that often, but it can be very helpful to new players.

As far as their games go VC Casino has gone with a quality not quantity approach. They currently operate 45 games on their casino floor and all are offered in an instant play non-downloading format only. This is a very conservative number of games when you take into account that many of their competitors are getting close to the 200 mark, but they are each one unique and very well presented. VC Casino covers all the basics as far as your classic table games and also delivers a nice offering of Slots and Video Poker, so there really should be something for every player. What are missing from the mix are multi-player games and progressive jackpots. If these are on your must list, then you probably don’t need to read any further.

The whole site runs off of the Flash software platform which is very widely available. In fact most users will find that it is already installed on their home system. Using Flash rather than one of the other popular packages opens the site to a much wider variety of users and systems. The actual games load using the Chartwell software and are very well delivered in both the audio and visual departments. Having non-downloading games means that the software has to stream from the site rather than loading on your computer. Dial-up users will be happy to know that the file sizes are conservative enough for even their connection to handle. Player will find that even through the software does not download, they can still customize up to a point. For example, you have the option to mute the croupier’s voice without losing all the casino noises. It is very nice to be able to interject some of your own preferences into your experience rather than having to just deal with what you are given.

VC Casino has made a lot of very bold claims pertaining to their aspirations and they have managed to make good on every single one. We were very pleased to find that customer service was no exception to this rule. VC Casino offers customer service via a wide range of options including freephone and e-mail. We tried both during our review and found them to be efficient and helpful each and every time. We also appreciate that both of these options are available at all hours day or night as that is not to be found everywhere. Promotions are alive and well in the form of a wonderful welcome bonus as well as incentive rewards to new and veteran players. We liked that all of the wagering requirements were very clearly laid out and easy to understand.

VC Casino is a great all around site that shows consistent attention to details in all areas. They are not concerned with providing every game under the sun, but want the 45 games on their floor to be the very best they can. If you want to take advantage of the free play you will have to sign up for an account, but it is a quick and painless process all the way around. The classic design and worry free gaming make this a great choice for just about any player. In the end, VC Casino is one VVGB, very very good bet!
