July 18, 2008 - The latest online casino to get reviewed here at
Online Casino Suite has been none other than
Online Vegas. Sounds a little cliche doesn't it? That's what I thought at first - you know, bringin' Las Vegas
to your doorstep...err, computer. Get it? Online Vegas. However, and that's an
italicized however, after taking a closer look at Online Vegas, I soon
found out they are anything but cliche. And besides, I think the name "Online
Vegas" kind of works. Simplicity is best, right?
Upon first glimpse of their website, Online Vegas does
indeed look like Las Vegas in a bottle. And guess what else?
It looks like Las Vegas in a bottle for U.S. bettors. That
is of course unless the red, white and blue stars and the
graphic of Lady Liberty (that's the Statue of Liberty for
all you...not sure what to call you...non-history buffs?) is
some sort of thank you for France, and in doing so, some
subliminal tactic to draw French players who speak English
very well, I think it's safe to say that Online Vegas is
largely focused on the U.S. market. Okay, breathe.
And who can blame them, right? While there still are many
online casinos accepting bets from U.S. players, the market
is nothing like it used to be before the passing of the
UIGEA. I suppose you could say the UIGEA has been successful
in that regard. But the implementation of the UIGEA and
vagueness of the legislation itself could indeed spell
trouble and less protection for U.S. players in the future
if it is not repealed or drastically amended. But that's
another blog entry altogether (and you can bet I'll be
writing it...Actually, I think I already have...a couple of
times).
What I want to talk about now is the reason why Online
Vegas is not just another cliche online casino. And in order
to do that, we have to take a look at their Welcome Bonus.
Let me put it this way first. If you love to play online
slots, and enjoy some extra padding for your bankroll, you
would be stupid not to take advantage of this bonus.
On your first deposit, Online Vegas is essentially
awarding a high roller bonus of 100% up to $500 free. In
itself, that's a great bonus. But it doesn't end there. This
is a multi-tier bonus, which is basically an ongoing reload
bonus spread out over the course of several deposits. In
this case, you're looking at ten deposits worth a grand
total of up to $5,125 Free. Here's the entire breakdown:
Deposit 1: 100% up to $500 Free
Deposit 2: 125% up to $375 Free
Deposit 3: 150% up to $750 Free
Deposit 4: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 5: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 6: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 7: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 8: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 9: 25% up to $250 Free
Deposit 10: 200% up to $2,000 Free
As you can see, holding out until the tenth deposit is
worth it. And if you think that's just too many bonuses to
play through, the wager requirement is only 10x. So
not only is this one of the largest bonuses on the internet
today, it has one of the lowest play-through requirements as
well. Just remember, that several games are exempt from
meeting the play-through. But not slots. That's why if you
love to pull the one-armed bandit, this is a bonus worth
seriously considering. For more information on Online
Vegas Casino, please read our in-depth Online Vegas Review,
