Genting Casino Review - 8.1/10

Genting’s online casino is a refined, and in vogue addition, to their land based casinos. With over 30 casinos currently running in the UK, Genting’s has been one of the big names to dominate the UK and Australasian market.

User experience

The site has a glorious infusion of colour and spice from its Malaysian heritage, which works harmoniously with the British love for all things classic. These two elements work together to create the unique black and red site which oozes class. Using Playtech software, the straightforward landing page welcomes users with a clear choice of what the online casino has to offer. The conspicuous menu tabs direct players to the variety of games on display, bestowing a relaxing and enjoyable betting experience for all.

Registration is simple and Genting accepts most major debit/credit cards as well as a number of e-wallets. Should you require assistance at any time the live chat feature is there to help provide you with an instant solution to your problem 24/7 except Christmas day. But don’t worry, should you need help on Christmas day you can also email your query and the lovely team aim to get back to you ASAP.

Game Variety

Genting’s knowledge and experience in this industry means that they have generated a site that is uniform in what it offers. The design and branding is clear from the start, and this is reflected within their game selection. Genting’s Online Casino offers a good variation on the most popular Playtech games, such as Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Slot machines, and Video Poker, along with a choice of Live Dealer games.

The games are available to play for free, and at registered user’s leisure via the downloadable version or through the instant play. As with most Playtech’s software, the downloadable version offers a larger choice of games and in our eyes is the best option.

One thing which we did notice is this upmarket, and frankly brilliant, online casino is lacking in some of the old favourites (but often not the most popular) casino games. Even through the downloadable version, games such as Keno and Caribbean stud poker are missing. However, Genting Online Casino cannot be faulted for how they manage their Roulette and Blackjack tables amongst others. We trust that this decision is not a permanent thing and that they will be adding Keno and Caribbean Stud Poker to their repertoire of games soon. In the meantime, I know we are more than happy with the excellent selection of games Genting has to offer.

Promotions

Despite some missing games, Genting still offers one of the most generous and definitely crowd-pleasing match bonuses for new players. New users can collect an impressive total of £1,000 from not just 1 match bonus, but 9!! Yep, you read that right! For the first deposit, players are rewarded with a 100% match bonus, for the next 7 deposits they get 50%, and on the final deposit players see another 100% match bonus to show that Genting is pleased they have chosen to play with this casino. This generous offer is ideal for those who are getting acquainted with the online casino, and are not interested in depositing a large sum the first time. However, should you decide that, as a serious bettor and casino goer, you’ll want to deposit £1,000 at once you are automatically titled as a VIP member. Thus opening doors to a succession of larger tournaments and satellite games, this may appeal to the more serious players out there.

The progressive jackpots are worth a quick mention. They have previously crept up to the £1 Million mark, and would be silly not to have a quick look and see if one of the many games to choose from takes you’re fancy. With low stakes and high wins, these jackpots can add some excitement to your favourite game.

Our Verdict

Genting offers one of the best looking and smoothest running casinos around. The game selection is smaller than other casinos, but this simply adds to the high quality feel. With all their experience in land based casinos, this has transferred well into an online version; and the unique South East Asian twist is a welcoming touch and really helps this casino stand out for the player.

Pros

• Professional casino feel
• Impressive match welcome bonus

Cons

• Missing a few of the golden oldie games
