888 Casino Review

Software and Games (rating: 8/10)

888 Casino is easily accessible by anybody with a computer and the latest version of Flash Player installed. Once you register and launch a game, you'll be able to choose between hundreds of games, including some of the best online slot machines for real money that any casino has to offer.

, which is quite nice if you want to practice with fun credits first and then start wagering real cash. The gaming catalogue has been stocked by NetEnt, Nyx, Blueprint Gaming, WMS, Big Time Gaming, PariPlay, Quickspin, Random Logic, Merkur, Skillzzgaming, Ash Gaming and Sigma Gaming.

Games are, as usually, grouped by category, with slots filterable in several different ways. One can either display new ones, those featuring jackpot, titles with 1-25 lines or the ones paying over more than 25. Casino Games tab displays sub-categories to allow easy access to Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker and Other games. Among 30 available options, you'll find European, French and American Roulette as well as variants adapted to low and high-rollers, Blackjack games with or without side bets, Punto Banco and standard Baccarat, a range of Video Pokers, Red Dog and Keno.

Head to 888 Live Casino if you wish to enjoy a realistic land-based gaming alternative provided by Evolution Gaming, but be prepared for a difficult task of choosing a single table among 100 offered. Roulette alone is played at close to 30, with game variants such as Lightning, Speed, Auto and Immersive, plus a number of games hosted by native dealers from different countries. Blackjack fans face an even bigger choice with varying table limits and numerous VIP tables. Baccarat plays as classic, Speed, No Commission, Squeeze, Punto Banco and Dragon Tiger, and Poker as Casino Hold'em, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Three Card and Caribbean Stud.

The operator's mobile app is accessible directly online as long as you've got an iPhone or iPad version iOS 9.1 and above, or a mobile device running on Android 4.4+. Players from the UK and Ireland also have the option to download 888 Casino App from Google Play Store. Mobile gamblers get to choose among 200 slots and table games and join one of 100 tables hosted by Evolution live dealers.

Slots (rating: 9/10)

Collection of slots is exceptionally diverse thanks to the fact so many developers contribute to a library counting only about 200 titles. You'll find that many of those are 888 in-house games not available elsewhere, so it may be a good opportunity to try spooky The Unholy, cute Spin or Treat, and charming Cafe de Paris. City Life plays with a Scatter which multiplies your total stake by as much as x500, two Wild icons, and a Streetwise Bonus game. Launching the bonus round sends you strolling through a rough part of town, which is where you'll run into 5 shady characters to outwit. The one you choose will ask that you find 3 missing pieces of stolen merchandise and reward you appropriately if you succeed.

Assuming you're well familiar with the likes of Gonzo's Quest, Big Bad Wolf, Foxin' Wins, Taco Brothers, Esqueleto Explosivo and Amazon Queen, I'll recommend that you try something different and launch NetEnt's Planet of the Apes, Fishin' Frenzy by Blueprint Gaming, or X-O Manowar from PariPlay.

If it's mega wins you're after, you'll have 30+ progressives to pick from. The biggest jackpots of €1.5 million are currently within reach if you play Rise of the Pharaohs, Irish Riches, Millionaire Genie, Pirate's Millions and Santa's Super Slot, all 888 titles.

Deposits and Withdrawals (rating: 9/10)

Kudos to 888 team for making relevant banking-related information readily available. It takes only one click to display a long list of accepted payment methods and see that one can fund their account via Visa credit and debit cards, MasterCard, Diners, Neteller, Skrill, PayPal, iDebit, ApplePay, Postepay, AstroPay Card, EntroPay, WebMoney, Giropay, Trustly, Boleto, Todito Cash, Nordea, Sofort, InstaDebit, Instant Banking by Citadel, Transferencia Bancaria, Multibanco, Yandex Money, Op-Pohjola, Verkkopankki, Payr, Qiwi Visa Virtual, Visa Qiwi Wallet, EPS, Wire Transfer, and Bank Transfer.

Most of the above will allow you deposit a minimum of €20, with the exception of Todito Cash (€10), Neteller, PayPal and Boleto (€15), and Wire Transfer (€75). One can collect as little as €15 per transaction and up to €30,000 per month, following the 3-day processing period. One way to get your money faster is to qualify for Gold VIP membership and consequently see your cash released within 1 business day.

Licensing and Security (rating: 10/10)

The 888 Holdings Group is one of the largest gambling companies in the world and, unlike some of their competitors, it has managed to operate for decades without major incidents. Being listed on the London Stock Exchange means there's shareholders to answer to, and these ladies and gentlemen would not appreciate newspaper headlines causing stock prices to fall. The Casino additionally boasts multiple industry awards, among which Digital Operator of the Year 2014 at the Global Gaming Awards, and Casino Operator of the Year 2015 by Gaming Intelligence.

They've been given green light by the Gibraltar Licensing Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, as well as Ireland's Revenue Commissioners, so the team has no choice but to operate according to highest standards and treat their players fairly and with respect. Credit card details are stored on firewall-protected servers and all data transferred via the internet encrypted so that no third party can get hold of it. Monthly Casino payout percentages, reviewed and certified by eCOGRA, are accessible directly from 888 website.

Customer Support (rating: 10/10)

The Casino has provided an excellent FAQ list with content neatly arranged under the headings of Registration, Login, Deposit, Withdrawal, My Account, Games, Bonus & Promotions, and Technical Issues. It's highly likely you'll find all needed information within this section, but if you don't, reach out to the operator's well-trained, courteous support agents. They work 24 hours a day and offer assistance in 11 different languages by Live Chat, phone and email. What's more, 888 Casino has both Facebook and Twitter profiles, posts on regular basis, and responds to questions and comments pretty much immediately.
