Gala Casino Review

Gala Casino is one of the biggest casino chains in the UK with a total of 32 outlets, and 30 of them are based solely in the UK. Currently, Gala Casino holds 20% of the UK market for casinos which is equivalent to an estimated 1.3 million player-members. This phenomenal growth started only in late 2000 for the casino arm of the company. Initially, the company was mostly into Gala Bingo a decade earlier but the income generated by this venture made it possible for the company to acquire the first 26 casinos for Gala Casino. This tells you that while playing online at Gala Casino, you know that the casino is backed by a solid bricks-and-mortar business that is unlikely to disappear overnight with your money.

No Downloads to Install

Gala's online offering is powered by Chartwell software which works inside a popup browser window, meaning that there is no software that you have to download and install. Another plus is that you can just visit the site and try out most of the games for free, although you may have to sign up for a free account first.

The casino offers a relatively modest collection of games, covering almost all the well known table and card games, plus a small selection of slots. One new game of notice is Deal or no Deal, based on the popular television game show where contestants must eliminate boxes with money prizes inside while being offered deals by the banker to stop. In the online version, you stake an amount of money and the prize box amounts are adjusted accordingly and from there on, if you've watched the show you'll know what to do.

Bonus Offering

The £50 welcome bonus is quite a decent deal, and at 25 times bonus wagering requirement you'll need to wager £1250 before you will receive your £50. There are very few restrictions on the games you may play, so if slow-playing small blackjack hands is your preference, you'll be fine at Gala Casino.

Gala Casino is a solid online offering backed by a reputable real world business. Definitely recommended.
