Reviews: Nostalgia Casino

Nostalgia Casino is one of the newest online casinos to surface from the Casino Action Group, who now operates a total of six different online gaming sites that include internet poker rooms and casinos. Nostalgia Casino is licensed through the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada, which is located near Montreal in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada - considered to be the most highly respected online gaming regulators not only in North America, but in the World. As such, players are guaranteed to receive a highly fair and secure betting environment through 24-hour protected and monitored gaming servers and 128-bit encryption when logging into the Nostalgia Casino lobby. And in this particular case, they are doing so in a nostalgic playing environment created by the talented developers at Microgaming Software.

Over one-hundred sixty "classic" and modern casino games are available on the latest Microgaming Software platform upgrade at Nostalgia Casino. In addition to all standard table games, twelve versions of blackjack, four versions of roulette, video pokers, slots and nineteen different progressive jackpots tied into the vast Microgaming network of casino licensees, Nostalgia Casino also offers several branded bonus games, including Nostalgia Keno.

The software is available in download or Flash, and features an ultra-fast login capability, 3D graphics and computer animation, easily accessible Comp and Player Awards tools, real-time game results and deposit/withdrawal histories, customizable game features (playing speed, sound effects, full-screen slot machines and card size), a Favorites game menu, live chat support while logged into the casino lobby, several playing modes to choose from (multi-player, single, private group and multi-hand) and an auto-play slots feature that let's players gamble with hands-free operation.

Nostalgia Casino seems to prefer multi-deposit matchplay bonuses. While exact figures change over time, the bonus numbers at the time of this review were adding up to $200 Free, over the course of two separate deposits - both matched with a 50% bonus. In other words, an initial deposit of $200 would net a player $300 to gamble with. A follow-up deposit of another $200, would give the player an additional $100 free to gamble with.

As mentioned earlier, there are over 160 games available in the Nostalgia Casino lobby. The Flash version of games alone offers over 100 games with seven different progressive jackpots - a rarity for Flash software casino games. This is an excellent incentive to players who do not want to download the software, but still want to view for large jackpots not normally associated with Flash casino games. Fourteen total progressive jackpots are available with the software download, which have a combined total consistently exceeding $1.25 million. The Microgaming suite includes recognizable games such as King Cashalot, Treasure Nile, Major Millions, Cash Splash, Fruit Fiesta, Cyberstud Poker and the new Roulette Royale, which has been acquiring hefty sums as of late. Most games are enabled with low betting minimums, such as the $.50 blackjack tables (up to $1,000 per bet) and large variety of penny games.

As mentioned earlier, Purchase On Net Ltd. handles all financial transactions for Nostalgia Casino, who in turn, protect each players financial details and account information with a Secure Socket Layer and high-bit encryption. Deposits can be made in four inter-exchangeable currencies (Great British Pounds, US Dollars, Canadian Dollars and Euros...designated at the time of account registration), and all with a variety of services, including MasterCard and Visa (in some cases), Diner's Club, ECO, Delta, FirePay, NETeller, Citadel, Instadebit, ACH, UKash, PaySpark, Click2Pay, UseMyBank, eChecks, wire transfers and MoneyBookers.

When it comes to timeliness, gamers will be hard-pressed to find an online casino as responsive as Nostalgia Casino. That is because their customer service department guarantees all emails to be replied to within thirty minutes - and not just with an auto-reply message either. True to their word, all inquiries will be individually replied to, and most likely resolved, depending on the nature of the request. And for those players who like to carry on live chat, Nostalgia Casino has this capability as well. Users simply click on a "Live Chat" icon, after which a dialogue box will appear and an operator will initiate the conversation.

Nostalgia Casino has been awarded a Top Casino Software Award for their affiliation with Microgaming Software. The jungle-themed graphics do indeed speak for themselves, invoking an atmosphere that is fun and deserving of the honor.
