About
Crazy Vegas
Casino is the pride and joy of Vegas Partner Lounge -
owner and operator of eight distinct online casinos and
the Crazy Poker Room. Vegas Partner Lounge has
been in the online betting business for several years,
and has operated their expansive network of gaming sites
(one of the largest and prestigious networks of MicroGaming casinos) for over three years. With
very high player volumes and characteristically low
player complaints, Vegas Partner Lounge has developed an
impressive track record. Owing to that reputation
is a highly professional staff that is consistently
doing their rounds on gambling message boards.
They are based out of Panama City, Panama (Edificio
Torre Universal Avenue). As for Crazy Vegas Casino, they
are one of the most popular casinos in this group, and
have received numerous online poll awards, including
Best Casino Customer Service going as far back as 2003.
Crazy Vegas is licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake
Gaming Commission and is eCOGRA certified (since 2004),
which means players are guaranteed to receive timely
payouts, fair gaming (as deemed through audits and
ongoing monitoring by Price Waterhouse Coopers) and fast
dispute resolution services, if ever needed. The
eCOGRA "Play it Safe Seal" is only awarded to those
casinos who abide by eCOGRA's strict set of
player-sensitive guidelines. Crazy Vegas Casino is
on such site, as are all of the other online gambling
sites owned and operated by Vegas Partner Lounge.

Casino Software
Crazy Vegas Casino uses the VIPER online
gambling platform developed by MicroGaming Sofware,
which could arguably be considered the most realistic
and cutting-edge internet gaming software currently on
the market. With odds that are better than Las
Vegas, players who put real-money stakes on this betting
platform are getting the best odds possible.
Branded and tailored for the Crazy Vegas site, the
casino software is available in both Flash (works for
MAC user's) and download packages, as well as fun-play
and real-money gambling modes. Players can gamble
in the fun-play mode for as long as they desire, and
always have the option of opening a real-money account
through the online cashier. The Microgaming
platform comes with two very important account features
called Play Check and Cash Check. What these
systems do is allow players to check their gambling
histories and verify every action they have made while
logged into the software platform, including details of
all processed financial transactions and bonus awards,
as well as detailed results of of every hand and bet
made since the account was first opened. Both
systems update new activity every four hours for all
players across the board.
The downloading and installation of
the software takes only a few minutes, and is explained in an easy-to-follow
tutorial on the Crazy Vegas Casino website. After installation is
complete, players will register with their contact details, including a valid
email address (that will not be spammed or given out to third parties), and
lastly, will be issued a case-sensitive username and password for which they can
use to immediately log into the software. The download itself will take a
couple of minutes with a high-speed broadband connection, and no more than ten
minutes with a standard connection on a 56K modem. Minimum system
requirements for the entire download are an IBM PC compatible computer with a
Pentium 100 processor or higher, 16 Megabytes of RAM, sound blaster sound card
and 8-bit color screen card (16-bit cards are the most preferred for delivering
the best graphics possible).

Bonuses & Promotions
Keeping with the "crazy" theme at Crazy Vegas Casino, the website
promises to offer players INSANE promotions. Overall, we cannot refute
this claim, for Crazy Vegas does offer a wide selection of generous promotions
compared to most other online casinos. Thanks to the combined resources of
the Vegas Partner Lounge, players are entitled to a comprehensive Loyalty
Program and frequent promotional giveaways. Players who use NETeller will
be eligible for further prizes, including new cars, Las Vegas trips and media
devices. The more money a player transfers with their NETeller account,
the more entries into the competition they will be entitled to. This is also the
same manner in which the Loyalty Program operates at Crazy Vegas Casino.
Newly registered, real-money players are automatically awarded 250 free loyalty
points ($2,500 worth), which can later be cashed out for free casino chips
(Craps and roulette do not count toward Loyalty Points). The more one
wagers, the better the conversion ratio between points and chips. For
instance, 500 loyalty points entitles a player to one free chip, while 2,000
loyalty points converts to 4.8 casino chips. All players can redeem and
verify their loyalty point balance at any time.
In addition to free trips, like the one currently
being offered (at the time of this review) to the Bahamas Atlantis Casino
Resort, ongoing promotions include a no-purchase-necessary $11 free kicker bonus
(simply open a real money account with a credit card on file - only valid for
download players), 15% bonus ($20 minimum deposit, up to $3,000 free) on every
deposit made with UseMyBank, Money transfers or wire transfers, 12.5% bonus ($20
minimum deposit, up to $3,000 free) on every deposit made with NETeller/InstaCash,
10% bonus ($20 minimum deposit, up to $2,000 free) on every deposit made with
PaySpark, PaySafeCard, MoneyBooker, Click2Pay or UKash, and 5% back ($50 minimum
deposit, up to $2,000 Free) on every deposit made with a credit or debit card.
All deposit bonuses are credited to a players account within five to eight
hours. The new player bonus is always a 100% match bonus up to $100 free,
and can be acquired with a deposit as little as $25 - giving a player $50 to bet
with. Players should not that each bonus cannot be used in conjunction
with one another. However, for players who opt to take advantage of the
new member bonus, all subsequent deposits can qualify for the 5%/10%/15% bonus
when using the above-mentioned deposit methods.
Wager requirements are set at 30x for the new
member bonus. Like most online casinos, depending on the casino game, the
play-through percentage will vary. For instance, online slots, parlor
games and American Roulette contribute to 100% of the wager requirement, while
games like Craps, Baccarat, video poker machines and all versions of Blackjack
(aside from the Classic version) count toward 5%. For a $100 bonus to be
claimed, the play through would require $3,000 worth of bets at slot machines
$100 x 30
÷ 100%
or $100 x 30
÷ 1
= $3,000. The same play through at online craps would require $60,000
worth of bets. ( $100 x 30 ÷ 5% OR $100 x 30 ÷ .05 = $60,000)

Games & Payouts
Over two-hundred games (fourteen progressive jackpots) are available
on the VIPER MicroGaming system, which is known to have some of the best odds of
any programmed software platform. In addition to casino game classics like
3-Card poker, Sic Bo, Vegas Craps, Baccarat, high-limit Baccarat, Casino War,
French/American/European Roulette and thirteen varieties of blackjack,
there are several well-known slot machines and video pokers available for
selective download, including fourteen progressive jackpots - several of which
are consistently in the hundreds of thousands - even millions (Major Millions
and King Cashalot).
Crazy Vegas Casino takes great
pride in their online slot machines, which will always deliver a payout
percentage greater than 94%. The video pokers (Jacks or Better) pay back
up to 99.54%, while their online keno has some of the best returns to be found
anywhere - a 92% payout rate on two or more correctly picked numbers. As
for roulette, the single zero (American) version of the game is deemed to be
twice as loose as traditional double zero European roulette games found in
brick'n mortar casinos. All payouts are audited and verified by accounting
firm, Price Waterhouse Coopers, which is the authority source when it comes to
casino payout reports and game fairness monitoring. Table game averages
are consistently near 97%, while all games average out to over 96% and higher.
For the month of January 2006, the total game average was a whopping 99.44%.
In that same month, the payout for slot machines was an incredible 100.48%.
