The BEST online casinos on the internet

The following casinos are what I personally view as being the best on the internet, based on my own experiences (payouts, customer service, etc.):

10. Silver Dollar Casino
9. Gold Vegas Casino
8. 50 States Casino
7. Vegas Sky Casino
6. Rich Reels Casino
5. Money Casino
4. 7 Spins Casino
3. Millionaire Casino
2. Black Diamond Casino
1. Villento Casino

I consider these casinos to be the best based on personal gaming experience. I have had the best payout percentages/hit frequencies, the best customer service experiences and the games are truly fun and entertaining.

The WORST Online Casinos on the internet

Here are the Top 10 WORST online casinos:

10. 123BingoOnline
9. Bingo Knights
8. Bingo Flash
7. Free Bingo Room
6. Saturn Gaming Group (Canadian Dollar Bingo, Amigo Bingo, etc.)
5. Fortune Lounge Casino Group
4. Casino Rewards Casino Group (Lucky Emperor, Golden Tiger, Aztec Riches, etc.)
3. Golden Arch Casino
2. Pitbull Casino & Poker
1. Pamper Casino

The above sites and associated sites are all scams and will surely take your deposits, and give you nothing in return but frustration and anger. These sites all have the lowest payouts on the internet, regardless how many times they claim to have been audited by TST or eCogra. Audits never speak the volumes that real game play does. And I can speak from personal experience and having spend several thousand dollars that these sites are all crooked scams.

Rich Casino Group Review

The Rich Casino Group (Rich Casino, 7 Spins Casino, Money Casino, 50 States Casino, Black Diamond Casino, Thebes Casino and Casino US) is a relative newcomer to the online gaming industry. The site began operating in late 2008 and stemmed from the Winward Casino Group using the new "Top Game" software format. Rich started off with some bad numbers, but if there was a "most improved casino award", Rich Casino would be the winner. The games are high tech, bonus features, and payouts/hit frequencies are very fair. The only thing that could stand more improvement is their card games - all of which are still somewhat tight. The Customer service is very knowledgeable and friendly. Bonuses are also really good, with low playthrough requirements and once playthrough requirements are met, the bonuses are cashable.

The Rich Casino Group is well on its way to being a rising star in the industry. With a few more adjustments, they should be all set. I personally recommend any of these sites to play at. You'll be sure to have a fun time and perhaps win a few bucks.

Cirrus Casino, Cool Cat Casino, Palace of Chance Casino Review

The "Costa Rican Connection" - Cool Cat, Cirrus, Palace of Chance, Wild Vegas, Club Player Casinos are all under the same group - true name unknown. These sites all use the Real Time Gaming (RTG) software, which really isn't all that bad. These sites all have lower than acceptable payout percentages/hit frequencies - especially on the higher wager end of playing. There is no acceptable government authority that these people answer to, which can make it very frustrating if you run into a problem, which I might add is a regular habit at these casinos. The customer service is awful - they will offer you bonuses upwards of 800%, but fail to mention to you that in the unlikely event you hit a progressive (like I did for $10,000), you can only cash out 10 times the amount of your deposit. For example, if you deposit $100 and get an 800% bonus, you'll have a $900 bankroll to start off. If you're lucky enough to make the playthrough (usually 40 times), you can only make a withdrawl of 10 times the $100 you made - or $1000. So if you hit a progressive like me for $10,000, you can only cash out $1000 maximum. Then come the "free chips"... oh, the free chips. These sites are designed to take deposits, and never pay anything out.

My best advice is to avoid this group of casinos - there's way too much drama and bad payouts associated with these folks. Playing casino games should be fun, and the "Costa Rican Connection" sites are anything but fun.

Golden Casino, Go Casino, Online Vegas Casino Reviews

Golden Casino, Go Casino and Online Vegas Casino are all run or managed under the same umbrella. It's truly sad that Vegas Tech allows these scam artists to use their software. Next to Pamper Casino, the Golden Casino Group is the worst on the internet today. The game payout percentages are atrocious, the customer service representatives are rude and unprofessional and if you even suggest the slightest of problems, your account will be locked. It is sites like Golden Casino and Pamper Casino that make people dispute and chargeback deposits. They completely fail to recognize what makes a successful online gaming venue. Like Pamper or Pitbull Casinos, the Golden Casino Group offers "larger than life Bonuses". Don't let those bonuses fool you. If the games are as tight as they are at these sites, bonus amounts are irrelevant.

The Golden Casino, Go Casino and Online Vegas Casinos are all sites to avoid, that is unless you like to be deliberately cheated.

Super Slots Casino Review

Super Slots Casino is another English Harbour Group casino. It's game payout percentages/hit frequencies are neither impressive or unimpressive. It's a "middle ground" type casino. It's much better than some other sites, just don't expect any major wins quickly or easily.

Silver Dollar Casino Review

Silver Dollar Casino is another English Harbour Group casino. Like its sister sites, it also uses the Vegas Tech/Odds On gaming software. It's probably the second best English Harbour site to play at, in terms of payout percentages. It's really not a bad site to play at, but the hit frequency can be quite marginal from time to time.

Millionaire Casino Review

Millionaire Casino is a part of the English Harbour family, which uses the Vegas Tech/Odds On gaming software. Of the English Harbour Group of casinos, Millionaire is the best, bar-none. Payout percentages/game hit frequencies are much better than the sister sites. The trade off is that the wager amount requirements are much set much higher. For example; the minimum wager on slots is $2 per line. At the other English Harbour sites, the wager amounts go as losw as 10 cents per line. On the positive side, if you're a high roller, the wager amounts are some of the highest on the internet. Slot games are as high as $25 per line. The bonus features (on the bonus games) hit on a much more frequent basis than that of other English Harbour sites. From personal experience, I would advise a minimum deposit of about $300 to have a good enough bankroll to get a feel for the site.

Overall, Millionaire Casino is a great place to play.

Caribbean Gold Casino Review


Caribbean Gold Casino is another English Harbour Group site. It uses the great Vegas Tech/Odds On software. In terms of payout percentages/hit frequency - Caribbean Gold has the lowest in the English Harbour Group. I don't exactly understand how, but it does. Games are very tight and you can spend $300 in spins on the slot games without a single hit - and when you do hit, it's only for a few credits. Another noteworthy fact is the games with bonuses hit very infrequently.

If there was an English Harbour Group casino to avoid, it would be Caribbean Gold Casino.

VIP Slots Casino Review

VIP Slots Casino is a part of the English Harbour Casino Group - also using the Vegas Tech/Odds On gaming software. As I have mentioned in other posts, Vegas Tech has the best online casino gaming software on the internet today. While VIP Slots Casino offers better payouts than that of English Harbour Casino, VIP Slots is still mediocre in terms of payout percentages/game hit frequency compared to some of its sister sites.

It's got a great game lineup, but don't expect to make any huge hits in terms of winnings.

English Harbour Casino Review

English Harbour Casino is one of the few sites that use Vegas Tech/Odds On software, which has become my personal favourite. I believe this software to be the best on the internet today and offers the closest feeling of a real casino experience. The games have awesome graphics, the bonus features are incredibly fun and depending on which site you play, the payout percentage and hit frequency are really, really good. Having said that, English Harbour Casino has all the qualities I just mentioned, minus the payout percentage/game hit frequency. English Harbour's payout percentages are rather low compared to it's sister sites. Customer Service is adequate, but their response time on Live Chat can be very delayed.

Overall, English Harbour is an average site compared to its Vegas Tech competitors, but compared to 100 other online casinos, it would still be in the top 20.

Villento Casino & Rich Reels Casino Review

If there is any quasi proof that online casino operators have access to change payout percentages with their games, Villento and Rich Reels Casino are two examples. These sites both use Microgaming, which offers a host of fun games. The difference between this casino group and other Microgaming casinos is the hit frequency and payout percentages of the games. The games payout fairly and often - especially the bonus feature games. Blackjack and poker are just as fun and have much better payouts compared to other MG sites. The Customer Service associates are very friendly and do everything they can to make sure your experience is an enjoyable one. Bonuses could be better, but you will notice with both sites, the payout percentages far exceed any bonus.

For those of you looking for a true casino experience - Villento Casino and Rich Reels Casino are truly worth a try.

Golden Arch Casino Review

Golden Arch Casino utilizes the Amigo Tech software for its games. And like the other Amigo Tech sites, the games are unentertaining and payout percentages are set very tight. This is also the only online casino that I know of that offers "credit". How convenient for a scam site like this to try and get more than what people deposit on their pathetic site. Another thing about this site is the max bet dollar amounts are set low in compairison to most other sites - which ironically is probably the only blessing to keep your deposit bankroll alive - for a short time anyway. That being said, in the highly unlikely event that a jackpot was hit - don't expect the dollar amount to be so high based on the max bet dollar caps.

Golden Arch Casino is another money pit and is one that should be avoided.

Pitbull Casino & Poker Review

Pitbull Casino & Poker is another site that uses the Amigo Tech software. Like the other Amigo Tech sites, the games are antiquated, the payouts are horrible and even with a high bonus offer, don't expect to get your bankroll any further ahead because even with a 2000% bonus, the games are set incredibly tight. It amazes me that a site would even offer such a bonus. What should have been a red light for me turned into several hundred dollars cheated by these schemers. Customer Service is another challenge. These people are not equipped to handle anything other than taking your money for a deposit - nothing more. Some deposits also require you to dial a Montreal number - not even toll free to make your deposit.

Pitbull Casino & Poker is a waste of time and money - avoid at all cost.

Pamper Casino Review

Pamper Casino is a newer casino that I happened to stumble on, and wish I never would have. When I say there is NOTHING redeeming or entertaing about this casino, I mean it whole heartedly. They use the Amigo Tech gaming software, which compared to other gaming software today, this is almost "Commodore 64-esque". The slot games have terrible graphics, have an even worse payout percentage/hit frequency and the Blackjack games they offer are so awful, it's blatantly obvious that you're being cheated by the site. I mean, don't these people realize the astronomical odds of the dealer always landing 19, 20 and BJ over and over and over again? The Customer Service Department is a total joke, with representatives that are incredibly rude. I'd also like to point out that I recorded some of my game play at Pamper Casino and posted it on You Tube for everybody to see how pathetic the games and payout percentages are. It didn't take but a week for me to receive an e-mail from You Tube Corporate saying that they removed the video at the request of Pamper Casino, stating "Copyright Infringement". That solidified my case against Pamper Casino and how horrible this site is.

Do yourself a favour, avoid Pamper Casino as if it were the Plague - you'll be glad you did.

Casino Rewards Group Review

The Casino Rewards Group includes Golden Tiger Casino, Lucky Emperor Casino, Yukon Gold Casino, Aztec Riches Casino, as well as about 10 other online casino sites. Their sites use Microgaming software, which I believe offer the best variety of games. Unfortunately this is Casino Rewards only good quality. Based on my experience, all of the Casino Rewards Casinos I have played at are among the tightest online casinos on the internet today. The Customer Service representatives are extremely rude, and are not helpful with problem resolution. In fact, I spoke with "Andre", who called himself a Call Centre Manager, and one of the owners of Casino Rewards Group. I have deposited close to $4000 at several of the Casino Rewards sites and have NEVER once hit for anything - NOT ONCE. "Andre" informed me that "based on my deposits, I wasn't worth dealing with", and that he was "considering to just lock my accounts". I was absolutely floored by his attitude! I had requested an audit on my game play history, this was never provided. I usually play the slot machines. To give you an idea of how Casino Rewards treats their customers, on three occasions, I was playing a 5 line slot game, called "Legacy". I was playing $25 per line or a total wager of $125 per spin. I sunk over $1200 into this game only to lose, lose, lose. When my balance was down to nothing, I had no choice but to lower the wager. Once the wager was lowered, I would hit triple 7's for 160 credits... THAT is the type of people Casino Rewards are. Cheats. Absolute cheats.

In a nutshell, Casino Rewards Group Casinos are all money pits - there is no other way of putting it. If you're looking for a place to get cheated and waste your money, then any Casino Rewards Casino is just for you. AVOID CASINO REWARDS AT ALL COST!!!
