About
Arthurian Online Casino is one of
seven Vegas Partner Lounge online casinos licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in the Mohawk Territory of Canada.
One of the very first things that sets Arthurian Casino apart from the rest of
the pack of online casinos are their game payout percentages, which are detailed
further in this online casino review under the section "Games and Payouts". Using
128-bit encryption security and software protocols for all of their online
applications, Arthurian Casino is committed to providing a safe online gambling
environment for its players. As an eCOGRA certified online casino,
Arthurian Casino exceeds standards in payout percentages, fairness, security and customer relation
requirements expected of a licensed online gaming site. According to Kahnawake Gaming Law, MCR No. 26/1996, all online casinos are strictly regulated
by three core principles which oversee that only responsible and permitted
companies can operate and house online gaming servers within Kahnawake, that the
entire software platform and suite of casino games is fair to every player, and
that all winners are paid out in a timely manner. In order to keep this
yearly license activated (as well as their Play it Safe Seal from eCOGRA), Vegas
Partner Lounge diligently works to insure that each of its online casinos
implements a consistent operations protocol that is followed to a T. Of
these, one of the most important are the monthly audits performed on the
financial logs generated by the software, which is then used to verify monthly
game payout percentages. These will show the the online gaming odds to be better
than Las Vegas casinos.

Casino Software
Arthurian Casino uses the VIPER software package developed by
Microgaming Systems. One of the leading software platforms (which many
players adamantly proclaim is the best system currently offered on the Web),
VIPER provides 3-D graphics, 16-bit color processing capabilities, and a
user-friendly platform that enables players to customize their personal online
gambling interface and track all of their financial transactions and gaming
results. Offering a large selection of online casino games (more details in the
Games and Payouts section of this review), Microgaming's portfolio includes over
200 Free Casino Games that can be played via a download from the Arthurian
Casino website or by ordering a CD (also from the website), which is mailed in a
timely manner. The software platform is also available in a
No-download Flash Casino version, which although
does not offer the same amount of games as the download version, still comes
with the same sharp and realistic graphics that Microgaming is known for.
To get started with the software
download, simply click on the download icon, which should immediately be
followed by a dialogue box asking you where on your computers hard drive you
would like to save the software execution and instruction files. Nowadays,
most new computers come installed with ActiveX Control Protocols via Internet
Explorer, which will initially block the download from taking place. You
should see a small bar near the top of the website window (just under the url
toolbar) informing you if the dialogue box has been blocked, and to click on the
bar itself for more information. Do so, and then click on the option
"Download the File". This will commence the download, followed by the
software installation. After this is complete all you will need to do is
register a play or real-money account and log into the software - all of which
you will be prompted to do.

Bonuses & Promotions
One of the few online casinos to offer percentage bonuses on every
deposit made with the online cashier, Arthurian Casino offers up to 15% back,
depending on the deposit method used. 15% is given on all deposits made
with UseMyBank and via Wire Transfers, up to $3,000 free each month; 12.5% is
given on all deposits made with Neteller and the user-friendly Neteller
InstaCash, which also allows up to $3,000 Free each month; 10% cash back is
given on all deposits made with MoneyBookers, UKash, FirePay, PaySpark and
Click2Pay, up to $2,000 Free each month; 5% deposit bonuses are awarded on all
deposits made with check and debit cards (bank permitting), also up to $2,000
free each month. All bonus money is deposited into a players account
within five to eight hours from making the deposit, which is remarkably fast in
the online gambling world. As for a new-player bonus, Arthurian Casino has
always offered one. Their most recent bonus at the time of this online
casino review was a 150% Free Cash Bonus up to $125 to gamble with, which
equates to $75 Free with a $50 Deposit. The wager
requirement on this bonus is 30x, which for its amount will take a recreational
online gambler a short time to meet.
Games & Payouts
As mentioned previously in the review, there are over 200 Free Online
Casino Games offered at Arthurian Casino. Once logged into the software,
detailed playing instructions and rules are available for every casino game,
which include 30 table games and a very large selection of slot machines and
online video poker machines. Being part of the Microgaming family, all casino
games offered on the Arthurian Casino platform can be selectively downloaded at
the players preference. This option is offered in conjunction with Microgaming's
"New Games Rollout" campaign, which promises all online casino licensees a
steady new release of casino games catered to the players themselves.

Online Cashier
The online cashier at Arthurian Casino is actually a processing
median for PROC-CYBER SERVICES, which is one of the leading eCash processors
currently in operation the Web. Having processed billions in secure
transactions using the latest SSL firewall and 128-bit encryption technology
that the world's leading financial institutions use, an online gamblers funds
could not be in safer hands than Proc-Cyber Services. Players have direct
access to the online cashier and their real-money accounts via the Banking
option in the software's navigation lobby. Simply click on the Banking
option, provide your unique username and password, and you will have access to a
large selection of deposit and withdrawal options which have all been accredited
and deemed safe by eCommerce regulators.
At some online casinos, processing withdrawals can be a pain. Anything
from delayed payouts to gaming policy red tape can make the withdrawal process
very messy. The sentiment from the players at Arthurian Casino is that the
withdrawals are just as easy to make as the deposits. Indeed, there are
several withdrawal methods offered, all of which are processed in a timely
manner while still going through tight security protocols designed to prevent
identity theft and fraud. As an early heads up, the fastest way to process
a withdrawal is to click on the "Bank" option when logged into the online casino
lobby, and then selecting none other than the "Withdrawal" button. After
entering the amount and authorizing the withdrawal, the player will receive
their funds in one to five business days - which has proven to be more on the
shorter half of the allotted time span. In the online casino industry,
there is no better definition of Fast Casino Payouts.
Players also have a 24 hour security window to reverse their withdrawal request
if a player has second thoughts. No really, this is an actual security
protocol and not some way to get players to keep gambling their money, as I many
players initially think. Withdrawal options currently offered in the
Arthurian Online Casino Cashier are (at the time of this review): Neteller
(player favorite), Click2Pay, FirePay, Solo and Switch debit cards for UK
players, Credit Card (Credit Fund Transfer) for European credit card holders and
traditional money transfers and bank wires (which most banks charge fees for).

The inclusion of Arthurian Casino and Vegas Partner Lounge's Gaming
