Golden Euro Casino

Any online gaming site that has been in business for over 10 years is likely to have had some player issues of some sort; whether their fault or the fault of circumstances around regulation or software, if you dig deep enough, you will find someone who has a complaint.

The folks behind Europa Casino have had their fair share of complaints in the past with some other brands, but I like to give every site I review a clean slate when I start my reviews.

Here’s what I can promise: by the time you are done reading this review you will have an extremely honest review of the company, blemishes and all.

About Europa Casino

Europa Casino has been in business since 2004 and has had an apparent change of ownership along the way. While the casino was at one point owned by Imperial E-Club Casinos, which had received many complaints about one of its other sites. Now, if you look at the website, the owner is listed as Universe Entertainment Services, a company based in Malta. I can only assume the company has changed hands, although I have not been able to find out when that might have occurred.

The casino has a gaming license from the Malta Gaming Authority, which is also new. They used to have a license from Antigua and Barbuda, but it would appear that in an attempt to clean up their image, they moved the licensing over to a more thorough jurisdiction.

Who Can Play at Europa Casino?

As a result of upgrading their license from Antigua to Malta, the owners of this casino had to implement changes to their Restricted Countries list. While this is disappointing for players who once could access the games, it is better for everyone as a whole as the players who continue to make deposits are much more protected by the regulatory board who approved this gaming license.

Here are the countries that are now not allowed to play at Europa Casino:

• Afghanistan
• Antigua & Barbuda
• Bahamas
• Barbados
• Belgium
• Bulgaria
• China
• Cuba
• Cyprus
• Dominica
• Estonia
• Finland
• France
• Grenada
• Guyana
• Haiti
• Hong Kong
• Iran
• Israel
• Jamaica
• Latvia
• Libya
• Macau
• Netherlands
• Romania
• Serbia
• Singapore
• Spain
• Kitts/Nevis
• Lucia
• Vincent
• Sudan
• Syria
• The Philippines
• Trinidad
• Turkey
• United States

Software Suppliers

Europa Casino has only one software provider, but it is a good one. They have chosen to work with Playtech for their offering. The Israel-based developer is at the top of the heap when it comes to quality of the product; they built their software with an equal dedication to the players and the operators, and it shows when you tour the platform. Also, having Playtech as their supplier gives the ownership group more credibility; these guys don’t work with shady operators.

The Playtech games are available both via a downloadable client and through their browser-based Instant Play format.

The majority of the games have been modified to fit the screen size of most tablets and phones so you will be able to play your favorite games from wherever you want.

The Good Stuff

Eight Figures of Jackpots

The first thing I saw when I accessed the site was right in the middle of the screen: a scrolling banner of a number of jackpots available to be won at this casino, with a grand total of over $100,000,000! That is a crazy amount of possible life-changing moments, including the largest Playtech network progressive, Jackpot Giant, which on its own stands at over 10 million. Do yourself a favor and jump into those games while the prizes are this high…they are ready to burst at any moment!

Excellent Troubleshooting Section

Most people have the same customer service issues at an online gaming site; the smart operators compile the answers to these questions and post them in a set of Frequently Asked Questions. Not only does Europa Casino have this page, but they also find a way to make it much easier to navigate to the exact page and solution you are looking for.

I think more casinos should follow this operator’s lead on this; so many support tickets would never need to be opened as a result.

The Bad Stuff

Account Opening Restrictions

Whenever I hit up a new casino, I like to quickly look to see what the casino has to offer in the way of promotions, VIP program, etc. Unfortunately, at this casino, to see the full site, I had to create an account. That is a bit of dirty pool from Europa Casino; this practice doesn’t please me at all. In fact, all it made me want to do is put in fake information so they wouldn’t contact me (I didn’t because for this review I want the promotional emails).

Legacy Player Issues

I never like to read about a large number of player complaints about a casino, especially when its owners then open other brands. I have seen any old complaints about one of the sister casinos to Europa Casino (Winner Casino).

I am hopeful that these complaints were the result of some management decisions that have since been dealt with; for the time being, I remain cautiously optimistic about the direction Europa Casino is headed.

Game Selection

Live Dealer Games

Playtech has built their own Live Dealer studio, and as a result, all of their licensees have the option of adding these real dealer games to their current offering. Thankfully, Europa Casino takes them up on this idea, and you can find the following games under the Live Casino tab of the lobby:

Starburst by the numbers

Eurocasino Login

Starburst has an RTP of 96,10% and has five reels and ten paylines. Thus far, nothing out of the ordinary. The gameplay is really just ‘what you see is what you get’. The classical fruit symbols have been replaced by gems, but the Bar and Seven symbols are still there (and even feel a bit out of theme if you ask us). Though the power of gems on the human mind should not be underestimated. If you are interested in why, we would like you to read the classic philosophical book ‘the doors of perception’. Still, just the gems are no explanation for the overwhelming popularity of this game. So, what is? We think it’s that it’s first and foremost the extremely high frequency of winning spins. In other words, a very low volatility. Starburst gives you the illusion of winning major prizes almost every spin. It does so by calling everything a combo and by using mesmerizing sound and visual effects. It’s that arcade feeling. The Starburst Wild feature adds to this feeling.

Who will take the crown?

There are many slots that have made a similar impact: Thunderstruck, Immortal Romance and Gonzo’s Quest. There is much to say for these slots. They all have actually more to offer than Starburst. That doesn’t change the fact that Starburst has been sitting at the top spot regardless of the success of these slots. One could even say that because Starburst has no extra features, it is accessible for everyone. Due to its neutral theme, it attracts a broad public, both men and women.

If we want to look at heirs to the crown, we have to look at promising new titles. With the side note that there might be a good chance that none of the titles we’ll discuss here will ever reach the legendary status of Starburst. To be honest, making any prediction seems like a bad gamble. We have played every new game in our casino, but what are we looking for; a Starburst Clone? A stand alone good game? Starburst came out during the golden years of online slots. It’s the standard, the bar, that all other games have to try and reach. Who might be the new Starburst may be an irrelevant question. We like every game for their own peculiarities and we will cherish the Starburst slot for what it is (and from time to time play it for nostalgic reasons)!
