CS Casino Review

The first thing you probably ask when seeing the name CS Casino is what does the CS stand for? Back in 1997 when CS Casino first opened its virtual doors, it was called the Sands of the Caribbean Casino. It later changed its name to the Caribbean Sands, and finally abbreviated it to CS Casino, all of which smells like legal pressure from a well-known land based gambling corporation trying to protect its similar name. Switching from Cryptologic software in early 2009, CS Casino (and its sister Omni Casino) now sport the latest Playtech-powered games, and are backed by years of experience and solid management.

CS Casino Games

CS Casino offers both a standard Playtech downloadable casino installer, and an "instant play" flash version of the casino which you can play inside your web browser window. The graphics and sounds of the casino are both attractive and recognisable, and they are complemented by an easy to navigate user interface.

The selection of games at CS Casino is predictably large, and includes all the Playtech progressive jackpot slots, which have jackpots pooled among most of the Playtech powered online casinos. This includes the massive Beach Life progressive jackpot which was recently won at over $4.2 million. Apart from the 70-odd slot machines to pick from, you can also try your luck at table game classics like roulette, craps, blackjack, caribbean stud, and more. There are also several video poker variations which are playable in both single and multi-hand modes.

CS Casino Bonuses and Promotions

The bonuses offered by CS Casino are decent, if unspectacular. A fairly standard 100% sign-up bonus is yours the first time you deposit, and there are also reload bonuses offered for specific deposit methods, and for high rollers who meet minimum deposit levels. Perhaps the best of the lot is the weekly bonus in which you can claim an extra $/£/€100 on your first deposit made every Sunday of every week of the year. Table game players take note - bonuses at CS Casino are restricted to non-progressive slot play. CS Casino also offers a comp program where players earn loyalty points every time they wager, and these comps can later be converted to cash.

Customer Support and Banking

As is to be expected from such an experienced operation, CS Casino offers 24/7 high quality customer support via live text chat, email, and toll-free telephone. The move to Playtech software has increased the deposit and withdrawal options for players, and all major e-wallets and credit cards are accepted, along with bank transfers and cheques among others. A disappointing aspect of the introduction of the new Playtech software has been CS Casino's adoption of Playtech's standard withdrawal policy which limits withdrawals to a maximum of $10,000 per week - progressive slot wins included! Just think, you could win a $4 million dollar jackpot then wait over 30 years to receive the lot.

CS Casino is a safe choice when it comes to playing at a casino online. It has more experience than most other online casinos, quality management and support, and a great selection of games powered by the latest Playtech software. Regular progressive slots players and even high rollers may well be put off by the withdrawal restrictions, in which case we would recommend a Playtech casino that does not enforce such a policy, such as Bet365 or BetFred.
