Littlewoods Casino Review

In 1923 a company named Littlewoods Pools was born. Since that time they have grown into one of the most trusted names in real world betting. In fact, there are very few companies who can claim the history and heritage that Littlewoods can. Now remember that we are taking about the gaming side of the board rather than the other side of the Littlewoods empire which is famous for their catalogue. Now Littlewoods is hoping to entice you with a new offering in the form of their very own online casino. We have high standards for this group. Why don’t we go see just how the measure up?

This is not our first visit to the Littlewoods Casino, and they have obviously been very busy since we last stopped by. Before the design was overly cluttered making if difficult to find your way around and causeing the pages to load slowly. Now everything was tidy and loaded up just fine. We also really like the new section outlining important player information. Everything is very well laid out, easy to understand, and easy to find, just the way we like it. Female players will be happy to note the lack of a boys club feel here as many of the overly cheesy graphics have been toned down quite a bit.

Since Littlewoods runs their games using the Cryptologic software package you will have some software to install before you can play. For those of you still wrestling with an ever slower dial-up connection, the site will mail you your very own copy of the software on a CD. This way you can do your installation off line and then log on for all the fun. If you don’t want to wait for the snail mail to arrive then the file size isn’t that large. You’re not going to be setting any speed records, but it shouldn’t take a huge amount of time. Another downside here is that Cryptologic is only friendly with Windows based systems at this time. With no Instant Play games the door is firmly shut on alternative systems.

If you do have the system for it, then the installation process should prove to be no trouble at all. We like the fact that not all the games try to download at the exact same time. No, what happens is that a few install right away. Then you have the option of demoing these games while the others load in the background. As new games finish loading they become available for trial as well. This is a great way to really get a good feel for what Littlewoods has to offer before you made a cash commitment.

The actual game play is everything that we have come to expect from the Cryptologic software. The environment is rich and life like with amazing customization options. All-in-all this is just a very luxurious package any way that you look at it. Some players might miss the expert options that are available on the other big name package, Microgaming’s Viper, but we really don’t think that it takes away from the overall experience. These games are extremely user friendly and very artistically presented no matter how you look at it.

One fun feature that Cryptologic does support is multi-player tables. When this is an option on the casino floor it brings back a piece of the social aspect that you so often lose with online games. Being able to play live with others who share your passion goes a long way towards making your experience as life like as possible. You should note that none of the chat functions are available during free play games. This option will only open up to you when you move into the real money side of things.

New players will find themselves treated to a nice welcome bonus when they sign up to the site. It is a great perk, and one that is competitive with what else you can regularly find out there today. The real shining star here is the Millionaire’s Club. The progressive jackpot on this three reel slot was topping 4 million pounds the last time we stopped by. Numbers like that are sure to attract plenty of attention.

Even though we would expect nothing less from them we were still very pleased to find excellent customer support at Littlewoods Casino. Customers can find help using either the sites e-mail system or through a free phone number. We tried both and can recommend each equally. It depends on your own personal preference as both options offered first rate service.

The Littlewoods name is enough to make many players stop by and see what they have to offer. But they prove to be much more than just a name. The name may inspire the confidence to play, but it is the games that will keep you coming back for more again and again. Littlewoods puts together a fantastic overall casino that is perfect for players of any level. It is a shame that their is no ticket to the fun for Mac or Linux users, but we have faith that that particular problem will be a thing of the past in no time at all!
