MICROGAMING CASINOS
Introduction
In my opinion, Microgaming Viper is the best casino software in use today. Games have excellent graphics and general quality. Game variety is greater than other softwares. Most games have an autoplay feature and analysis of results, including table games like blackjack. Most video poker games indicate optimal strategy while playing through an autohold feature. One downside of Microgaming casinos is their large file size. Downloading the full suite of 250+ games can take over 1GB of hard drive space. Microgaming casinos are generally considered to be reputable. However, several groups are developing a history of player disputes, as indicated by the Fortune Lounge, Casino Rewards, and MiniVegas group warnings below.
Game Selection & House Edge
The table below lists the available games and corresponding house edge.
*House edge of Slots is estimated based on payout audits and simulation data from a small number of games
*Cyberstud Progressive and Roulette Royal have mandatory jackpot side bets, resulting in varying house edge
*Jackpot Deuces & Supajacks Video Poker house edge varies according to size of jackpot
Bonuses
Most Microgaming casinos offer a "Clearplay" bonus, which is described in detail in the Clearplay section. Under traditional implementation of a Clearplay bonus, a player can cash out winnings at any time, whether wagering requirements have been met or not. However, a growing number of groups now require players to complete wagering on the sign-up bonus. All games are usually allowed, but some count little towards wagering requirements. Some Microgaming casinos offer free play bonuses where a player is given a bankroll of up to $1000 in a flash version of the site without a deposit. Winnings on the free play are given to the player as a bonus with his first deposit. A minority of Microgaming casinos offer traditional cashable bonuses with a wagering requirement.
Country Restrictions
Most Microgaming casinos allow players from all countries that get a good amount of traffic on this site, except for the United States. As of November 10 2008, Microgaming casinos do not allow new USA players. Several groups still allow existing USA players. The Grand Prive and Mini Vegas groups restrict players from Finland. Betway restricts players from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and the UK. Ladbrokes restricts players from Germany. Players can usually claim the same size bonus in their home currency. For example, a bonus might be $100, €100, or £100.

Table Definitions Group -- Casinos often are linked together in e group. These groups are listed in the table. I recommend not simultaneously playing two sign up bonuses from the same group. Wait until payment is received, then play at the next casino. Bonus EV -- EV stands for Expected Value. Bonus EV indicates the average expected gain of the bonus with the following play: Cashable and Post-wager bonuses -- Playthrough the bonus on the listed game with unlimited banrkoll; Sticky and Clearplay bonuses -- Make high variance bets to a 2x target, then playthrough bonus; Free Play and Unique bonuses -- See the listed strategy. Max Bonus -- The bonus that is given with the maximum allowed deposit for that bonus. If the max value is expressed as one number + another, then there are two bonuses, usually one signup bonus and one deposit method bonus. If the value is expressed as a range, then the bonus is dependent on return from a free play offer. Bonus % -- Bonus % indicates the ratio between the bonus and your deposit. If a $300 bonus is given on a $100 deposit, the bonus % is 300%. Wager -- Wager indicates the wagering requirement for the bonus. All wagering requirements are expressed in terms of the bonus. For example, the wagering requirement at Golden Palace is 20x(bonus+deposit). With a $100 deposit, the wagering requirement would be ($300 + $100)x20 = $8000. $8000 is 27x the $300 bonus, so the value in the table is 27xB. Clearplay bonuses may list two wagering requirements -- the minimum wagering requirement and the wagering requirement on the game French Roulette. "0xB / 60xB" indicates that you can cash out your winnings immediately (0xB), and if you complete the playthrough on French Roulette there is a 60xB wagering requirement. Type -- Six types of bonuses are listed in the table: Cashable, Post-wager, Sticky, Clearplay, Free Play, and Unique. Cashable bonuses are given at the start of wagering and become withdrawable after completing wagering. Like cashable bonuses, post-wager bonuses are withdrawable after completing wagering. However, they are not given until completing wagering. Sticky bonuses can be bet, but cannot be cashed out. Clearplay bonuses are a special type of cashable bonus offered by many Microgaming casinos games are weighted at different percentages and bonuses are gradually converted to cash while completing wagering. Free play bonuses involve play without making a deposit. After finishing the free play, winnings are credited as a bonus. Unique bonuses have unique rules and do not fit in any of the categories above. Game -- Game indicates the recommended game to play the bonus. Notes -- Notes indicates other important things to take note of, such as associated warnings. |
