Golden Palace Casino Review

The hands down winner in the area of crazy publicity stunts will be GoldenPalace every time. These crazy guys are always up to something and it is always sure to be very entertaining to watch. They are the ones who do things like pay celebrity streaker Mark Roberts to spend a little time in his birthday suit at some very major sporting events. We have to say by the way that we always think that is completely brilliant. All the media hoopla aside, GoldenPalace has launched their very own online casino. As exciting as they are in reality we can’t wait to see what they can do in the virtual world.

GoldenPalace prefers to show a fun vibrant image to the world, but they are consistently focused on the issue of player security. They have been working since 1995 to create a reputation for security, discretion, and integrity for their players. With all the time and effort they have put into this, there is no way they will risk it now. Not to mention if they were to let quality slip in this key area, they wouldn’t stay a popular site for very long. If you find you need more assurance, then take a look at their membership to the Interactive Gaming Council, that should put all your fears to rest.

We were very impressed that GoldenPalace offers a special site for its UK customers. We were not impressed by the overall quality that we found there. First their was significantly less new user information here than is published on the main site. Also many of the links that are necessary to move easily throughout the site did not work at all. The biggest puzzle is how the main site can be so well put together while this one is so second rate. We have a hard time recommending the UK site to new players and would suggest that they start things off at the main site first. When they get comfortable, or when things get better then they can move over if they would like.

If you start poking around under the hood you will find that GoldenPalace has gone with a very different engine than have most of their peers. They are using the Playtech software platform to serve up all the fun. In an industry that has strong preferences towards Cryptologic and Microgaming this is somewhat of a daring move, but we like it. Playtech is a solid package that can deliver high quality results from both their downloading and non-downloading formats. If you are currently using a windows based system, then you might find that you want to go with the luxury downloading package as it can have some real effect on overall game quality. Games will load faster and be presented in much greater detail with this choice. No matter which you go with you are sure to find several fun options, like live chat and live dealers, to enhance your overall experience. With over fifty games up and running on the casino floor, you’d better get started if you want to try them all.

We always hate it when we are required to disappoint all you Mac users out there yet again. At GoldenPalace we have no bad news to report in this area. We checked out the specs and found that Mac is supported by the Playtech software. Better still when we put things to the test, we had the games up and running the very first time we tried. And we are very proud to say that we did it all with no help from customer service. This is a very refreshing change from all the sites who claim to support this type of set-up and then either it won’t work at all, or it won’t work without a lengthy conversation with customer support. Way to go GoldenPalace for following through on you claim.

Another area that left us filled with joy was our experience in the promotions department. At GoldenPalace casino they have taken this segment to the next level. Even the most seasoned players will have a hard time finding this to be stale. First, all new players will get a Welcome Bonus when they make their first deposit. This generous offering consists of a 300% match on up to $200. So if you were to go for the full $200, your account would reflect $800 instead. That is some very nice math. Also there is a tempting group of player loyalty bonuses, introduction bonuses, and some progressive jackpots that might just be considered life changingly large. This is probably the best combination we have seen, so don’t hesitate to take advantage.

GoldenPalace makes a pretty strong claim to their customers when they say, “dedicated to making your gaming experience as exciting and rewarding as possible.” Well they definitely have the rewarding down to a science, just look at the current promotions if you have any doubts to that. And we really feel that they have taken the time to back up this claim on all fronts. There are some admitted issues at the UK site, but it is still very new and a work in progress. Besides even the problems we encountered there had no real bearing on the overall experience of GoldenPalace. This company has created some big shoes to fill with all their over the top marketing stunts, and they are more than up to the task. Don’t take our word for it though, stop by and check things out for yourself. Who knows? We might even see you there!
