Bwin Casino Review

Bwin is one of the major European internet gaming sites – employing over 1,200 people – and provides a sportsbook, poker room and casino. As well as its Instant Play and Download Casino, they also offer a mobile casino service, to which they are adding more and more games all the time. Founded in 1997, Bwin is listed as a public company on the Vienna Stock Exchange and is licensed in Gibraltar.

There are 38 games available in the Instant Play casino and 44 in the Download casino. Most of the usual games are provided, such as Blackjack, Roulette (American and European) and Craps. There is a total of eight 3-reel and thirteen 5-reel slots, while progressive jackpots are also available (on the "Gold Pirates" machine). Bwin also has six Video Poker games to choose from, including Jacks or Better, All American and Deuces Wild.

Software

For the Instant Play casino, the software is powered by Chartwell Technology Inc., while the Download software is provided by Boss Media AB. Both of these companies are known for their reliable and trustworthy products, while Bwin also uses independent auditors to ensure their software is operating to the highest standards of fairness and security. Their Random Number Generator (RNG) has been certified by Technology Systems Testing (TST) and a payout table is published on the site.

The graphics in the Bwin casino are easily up there with the best. The table games are presented with plenty of real-life edge (the Craps table has one of the best layouts you will find) while the colourful and lively presence of the slots really adds to the excitement.

Bonuses and Promotions

Bwin offers new players a 50% Bonus, up to the value of €200 with a minimum deposit of €10. But it is important to choose whether you want to promotion to apply to the Instant Play or Download casino. A play through 40 times the bonus amount is required for the Instant Play casino, but this is only 20 times for the download version. Wagers on Instant Play Roulette are excluded from the promotion.

In addition, players have the opportunity to collect "b'inside Market Points", which can be used to claim products such as sports merchandise, televisions and other gadgets, as well as be exchanged for cash bonuses. These points are collected by playing games in the casino (€1 equal to 6 Market Points) with each game coming with a different rate of point accumulation. This program ties in with their "Status Points" system, where players are given different status levels depending on the rate they earn Market Points, with different prizes awarded for each stage.
