About
Only accepting non-U.S. players, Casino Del Rio is another member of the PlayTech Software family who has achieved considerable
success and a solid reputation during the time they have
been doing business online. Audited by the Online
Players Associations and licensed through the government
of Antigua and Barbuda, Del Rio is in good standing with
the fairest gaming standards. They are owned and
backed by an established investing and marketing firm,
and operate as a brand name under Imperial E-Club. Based in Israel, the company
operates a handful of other online casinos, which are all in good
standing as well. Del Rio operates under nine
aliases, giving them a widespread presence on the Web.
They are also a member of the WinAJackpot network of
Playtech powered casinos. At the time of this
review, their most recent, large payout was a
progressive jackpot on Gold Rally Slots for
approximately £454,000.

Casino Software
The software is a stand-out feature at
Del Rio. While the games are developed under the
Playtech platform, thus providing realistic and sharp
32-bit graphics, the branding of Del Rio's version is
quite impressive. Bright colors and a tropical
theme make up the casino lobby, giving it a unique,
futuristic look. To best describe it, think of the
cartoon family The Jetson's taking a vacation in the
Caribbean. There are several gaming customization
features available, such as game speed, screen size,
dealer voices, card layout, music and sound effects.
Three playing modes are available, including
multi-player, single player and private group play.
Players have unlimited, private access to their
accounts, enabling them to track the details of all
financial transactions as well as a game history tracker
that shows the time and date of played hands, the
results of each hand, as well as winnings and losses.
Gambling is available in Real Money and Fun modes, with
both types of accounts being very simple to create.
For creating a real-money account, players only need to
provide their user name, password, first and last name,
email address, home address, phone/fax and date of
birth. (Later you will need to provide account
preferences with the cashier). This information is
strictly confidential and will not be shared with third
parties. It is used to verify payment of winnings
only. Fun accounts simply need a username and
email address to get started. (you are assigned a
password). Fun mode allows players to gamble
online or offline. When online, players can
interact in live chat with others.

Bonuses & Promotions
Every time players make a deposit,
bonuses are available. The Welcome Bonus usually
spans over multiple deposits. For instance, at the
time of this review, new account holders would get an
initial 100% bonus up to
£100 Free, meaning deposit
£100, and receive £200. Following this bonus, each
month thereafter (for the next ten months) the player
would receive a 50% bonus up to £50 Free, meaning
deposit £100 and receive £150. This would amount to £600
Free over the course of ten months. Each month
after that, players could get up to £250 on 10% and 15%
bonuses using one of several deposit methods. This
is the norm at Del Rio, which gives 10% back when using MoneyBooker, NETeller, InstaCash, FirePay, PaySafeCard,
Citadel, ECO Card, 900 Pay, UseMyBank or Instadebit, and
15% when making wire transfers and bank drafts. The
aggregate bonus limit on all accounts is £250 free per
month, and £2,000 Free on the lifetime of the account.
Another great way to get
bonuses is through Del Rio's latest promotion.
There is one always going on, and at the minimum,
usually awards 15% bonuses on deposits made with
practically any of the methods accepted by the cashier.
There is also a weekly email lottery that gives
£50
bonuses to ten lucky players each week. All one
has to do is sign up on the mailing list.

Games & Payouts
Over sixty games and ten progressive
jackpots that are a part of the highly popular
Win-A-Jackpot network make up the games portfolio at Del
Rio. Game previews are available on Del Rio's
website, along with payout percentage reports tabulated
by the Online Players Association. As mentioned
earlier, large progressive jackpots are available
through Del Rio. The $2, 8-line, Wild West slot
machine, Gold Rally, recently made one of Del Rio's
members nearly a half million dollars richer, in
addition to the other consistent winning games like
Diamond Valley, MegaJacks, SafeCracker and the
movie-themed Cinerama.
Payout percentages consistently hit over 96% for
blackjack, slots and video poker, while the table games
at Del Rio consistently average over 97% (primarily
Craps and Sic-bo). Copies of certified payout reports
are viewable through Del Rio's website.

Online Cashier
IFund Interpay and Wisenet Services
handle all financial transactions at Del Rio.
Located in Cyprus, these e-cash processors appear on all
bank statements and credit card transactions made
directly through the online cashier. Putting great
emphasis on security, both processors use key encryption
mechanisms, while the casino server itself employs
encrypted mathematical algorithms similar to the ones
used to protect their software from being tampered with.
The cashier also uses strict fraud prevention measures
to insure accounts are safeguarded at all times.
All players should be prepared to offer proof of
identification for certain transactions.
As for deposits, the cashier gives account holders
several options. Deposit methods without maximum
limits include FirePay, Wire Transfers, Citadel,
Instadebit and UseMyBank. Deposit methods with
deposit limits are $2,500 per month for NETeller, $5,000
per month for 900Pay, MoneyBookers and Bank Draft,
$3,000 on single deposits made with InstaCash, and
$2,000 limit on single deposits made with an ECO Card.
Withdrawals can vary from one to three weeks, depending
on the players VIP level and e-cash account being used.
NETeller, MoneyBookers and FirePay generally range from
five to seven days, although higher level VIP members
can get withdrawals in as little as one day. Wire
Transfers generally take up to ten days, while checks
through mail can take up to three weeks. The
casino cashier does not charge for deposits or
withdrawals of any kind, and will cover primary fees
charged by one's bank for making wire transfers.
