Party Casino is PartyGaming’s take on what an online casino should be. PartyGaming has been delivering online gaming action since 1997, so it has had plenty of time to learn what works and what doesn’t, and Party Casino shows that the company haven’t wasted a moment of that time. The Party Casino was started at 2006, and has become rather popular over the past few years.
First Impression
The PartyCasino site has a very clean design and is set out in a straight-forward, easy to navigate manner and is quite visually stimulating too! Like other casinos on the PartyGaming platform, PartyCasino is a very smooth operation with reliable and helpful customer service, fast payouts, solid graphics, and, of course, the security and safety you'd expect from a PartyGaming operation. The new players would be attracted by the bright and clear colors that combined with the nice sound effects give you an enjoyable gaming experience.
Description
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this casino is that with its launch, PartyGaming has also introduced a new fully integrated gaming platform which allows users to click through from PartyPoker straight to PartyCasino and vice versa. Winnings and deposits are also then handled under one account. Because PartyPoker is the world's largest online poker room, the new integrated platform should translate into a lot of player traffic for PartyCasino - something that a fairly new casino can always take advantage of.
Games
As for the games, PartyCasino uses its own software and the online casino is also available in a flash/no-download version. Their portfolio currently consists of over 150 games, including big Video slot titles like Terminator, Saturday Night Fever, Sinatra, Mission Impossible, The Godfather, Rambo, Resident Evil and the Naked Gun. You will also find games like Blackjack, Roulette, Table Poker games, Keno, Live Dealer Games, Virtual Racing Games and also Bejeweled. All in all, it’s a very consistent and reliable platform.
Welcome Bonuses and Promotions
Party Casino offers a 100% bonus match up to $500 at sign up and also the opportunity to earn PartyPoints, which in return can lead to various rewards. In addition to this, PartyCasino has instituted a “cashmile” system, where players earn 1 cashmile for each $100 that they bet at PartyCasino. We’d obviously like to see more bonus types but we do have to point out that the bonus structure has improved since the casino was in its early days.
Software
The software Party Casino uses is a specially developed in-house software package in the same style as its online poker room. This means that players who are already familiar with the Party Gaming layout will get along just fine with the casino software. The software is furthermore very easy-to-use with regard to navigation and the new-look lobby is also very easy on the eyes. And with the Quick Links, one can easily switch between the different types of games that Party Casino has to offer.

As with PartyPoker, PartyCasino uses the same cashier function and offers a variety of choices when it comes to depositing funds, these include Credit Card, iGM-Pay, EC/ELV, Electronic Transfer, Switch/Solo Card, ePassport, Moneybookers, Phone Connect Card, Money Transfer, Neteller, Bank Transfer, FirePay, Citadel, Wire Transfer, Checks with the minimum deposit being $50.
Support
PartyCasino offers 24/7 telephone, email, and live chat support. This is a great system to deal with the myriad problems that crop up over time. The PartyCasino staff is very knowledgeable and deals with concerns in an efficient and timely manner.
Our Verdict
Party Gaming has done some great things to improve the quality of their games and now boast a portfolio than measures up to the best. PartyCasino is a quality product, and can now stand on its own feet as a premier online casino, having been an afterthought to poker room in the past. One of the positive aspects of Party Casino is the fact that is has so much muscle behind it in its publicly listed parent. This does give the assurance that games are fair, and one can expect that there will be continuous improvement.
