Here, we take a closer looker at the gaming interface and the process of setting up an account. The registration process is quite straightforward. However, for those who have an account already with its sister website – VIP sports.com – they need have to create an account here to kick start things. The gaming interface is uncluttered, easily loading, and soothing to the eyes, even though it can't be branded anything great.

As mentioned above, VIP Casino is powered by the casino software Cryptologic. The software, about 300k in size, is easier to download and install, and in a normal system with a fast enough internet connection, it all will be over within 5 minutes (say).

For slower computers, the VIP Casino also offers a flash version that let players game directly from their browser, without having to download anything. However, both the versions spot nearly the same interface, and hence from the player's perspective, it should not make any big difference.

Overall, the Cryptologic is ok in performance, but with few hitches in terms of its stability. Few occasions where the software hung in the middle of a hand had been reported from different players. Otherwise, it is reasonable to the gamers.

For somebody, the big letters ‘welcome bonus of 50% extra' could give a cue about what awaits a player inside. VIP Casino offers bonuses and promotions that varies periodically (so don't get amused if some review mentions about some other promotion/offer). But, be careful to read the fine print clearly and understand its essence (we know that you does that rarely), and email the casino authorities and claim your bonuses in time. As it has been observed generally, they won't just show up in your account automatically.

The casino also has a ‘cash reward program' that gives players money whether they win or lose. Loser can get up to 11% back (against a ceiling of 15,000) and for winners, they would get a 1% of the winnings added to the winning amount.

There is an assortment of them – over 180 – including traditional casino games and interesting newer ones and variants. Not to mention the high paying progressive jackpots, slot games, and the highly competitive tournaments that draws players from across the globe.

All the games can't be mentioned here owing to scarcity of space. But the ones you would love to play include card games such as Blackjack, Multi-Hand Blackjack, Baccarat, and different versions of poker including 3 card poker, table games such as craps and roulette (US, UK and European versions), video poker, not less than 6 progressive slots, specialty games such as video keno, classic slots, fruit machines, multi-line slots, and a handful of bonus slots such as Daily Horoscope, and Desert Dreams.

For the entire list of games available in VIP Casino, see the website's home page.

The VIP Casino transactions are guarded by VeriSign, the Internet's leading digital security company. Hackers simply stand no chance with VIP Casino. If somebody indeed manages that, he is not ordinary.
