Royal Vegas Casino has been online since 2001 and can be played in English, Chinese, or Korean. As members of Fortune Lounge Casinos, they offer a wide selection of games and full service customer support. They are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada and approved by eCogra.

Bonuses *
Players receive great bonuses from Royal Vegas. If you sign up as a new player you are eligible for the 200% matching bonus up to $200. Deposit bonuses are given depending on the method of deposit.

As Royal Vegas is a member of the Fortune Lounge Group the bonuses on offer are larger than the average casino. Tournament winnings are larger and constant. There is always a tournament going on that players are eligible to win in. These tournaments are updated weekly. Daily special bonuses are promoted upon entering the casino. In addition they have longer term bonuses with huge prizes. Their most recent big prize is the Five Week Fiesta where players can win up to $170,000 in prizes and the last one was the Ride of Your Life bonus where a player won a brand new Jaguar.

Of course Royal Vegas also offers a Loyalty Program as part of the Fortune Players Lounge. This is where the real bonuses come in. Craps and Roulette are included in the points and the more points you earn means the more things you can get - whether you win or lose.

Bonus Rules *
Royal Vegas gives a 200% sign up bonus to new players. The maximum bonus given is $200. The deposit amount must be wagered within 72 hours of depositing before the bonus is given, otherwise the player will not receive the bonus. Once the bonus has been credited the player must wager 15X the deposit plus bonus amount before being able to withdraw funds. This means if you deposit $100 and receive a $200 bonus you must wager $100 before you receive the bonus, then you must wager an additional $4500 before being able to cash out your winnings.

Blackjack can only be a maximum of 20% of your wagering amount for the sign-up bonus. In other words, if you have to wager $4500 to be able to cash out only $900 of that is allowed to be blackjack wagering. Jacks or Better Power Poker, Jacks or Better Video Poker, Jacks or Better 10 Play Power Poker, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette and Sic Bo do not count towards the wagering requirements on the sign up bonus. However, they may count for other bonuses. Craps and Roulette are exempt from all wagering requirements regardless of the bonus.

All deposit match bonuses must be wagered 10X the deposit plus bonus before being able to cash out. Again, the deposit amount must be wagered within 72 hours of depositing before the bonus is given, otherwise the player will not receive the bonus. The 10X wagering requirements are only counted after the bonus has been added to the players account. This is an important point to note as if you are on a roll before you receive your bonus it doesn't count towards the wagering requirement. Only craps and roulette are exempt from this wagering requirement according to the site. However, we recommend checking the email the offer is sent for further restrictions.

Most bonuses require the basic wagering the deposit amount before receiving the bonus and then the 10X deposit plus bonus wagering requirements before being able to cash out. Occasionally bonuses can not be used in conjunction with each other, in other words you can not get a first deposit by Neteller bonus with your Sign up bonus. They must be used separately.

Players from Denmark have a higher wagering requirement for most bonuses. They must wager 20X the deposit plus bonus after receiving the bonus before being able to cash out. The following games are also restricted towards the wagering requirement: all forms of Blackjack, Craps, Sic Bo, Red Dog, all forms of Baccarat, all forms of Roulette and Progressive Roulette tables, all forms of Power Poker and Video Poker except Deuces Wild.

Games
Royal Vegas Casino allows players to choose between their browser and download casino. Both are powered by Microgaming, so the player is assured that the games will have revolutionary graphics and smooth play. Microgaming is one of the oldest casino software providers in the industry and has one of the widest selections of games online today. Review your game history by clicking on the Playcheck red checkmark in the upper right corner of the menu. All of the important details regarding a game are clearly listed when you scroll over it on the menu (for the download version).

Selection of Browser games:
• 51 Slots games
• 15 Video Poker games
• 23 Table games (including 7 versions of Blackjack)
• 7 Progressive Slots

Royal Vegas also boasts Live Poker with Prima Poker. Prima Poker allows players from different casinos to play live against each other. The casino themselves handle the financial end of the deal while Prima Poker handles the games. This is a nice addition to the Microgaming software which doesn't offer live games.

Royal Vegas's mixture of Live Poker by Prima Poker and regular online gaming powered by Microgaming makes a winning combination.

Credibility
Royal Vegas Casino's games are reviewed monthly by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The casinos games have been independently tested since November 2002. All of the test results are posted on the website for your review. Risk Sentinel is fraud management software that protects Royal Vegas from online fraud.

Microgaming, the software used for Royal Vegas games, is a member of the IGC (Interactive Gaming Council).

Royal Vegas accepts US dollars, Canadian dollars, UK pounds, and Euros. Players can deposit via Neteller, FirePay, Click2Pay, InstaDebit, credit card, PaySpark, and UseMyBank. Neteller, FirePay, and Click2Pay come with a first deposit bonus however this can not be used with other bonus offers. Minimum deposit is $20.

Minimum withdrawal is $20. Most withdrawals are credited within 24 hours depending on the deposit method. As most casinos, security documentation will be required on your initial withdrawal and may be required from further subsequent withdrawals.

Message Boards Rumors *
Fortune Lounge had some complaints and Prima Poker had some complaints. The complaints were mainly about wagering requirements, terms and conditions, and professional players being shut out from their systems. Complaints of this nature can generally be taken with a grain of salt and if any had strong merit behind them they would be listed here. However, there were no complaints specifically about Royal Vegas Casino. This casino is known for great bonuses and fun games.

Personal Conclusion
Fortune Lounge is a good deal overall. As they are a large group of casinos they have the power to offer larger bonuses more often and better Loyalty Player incentives. However, this is a business and their terms and conditions are extensive. Fortune Lounge casinos have a reputation for sticking tightly to the terms and conditions so if you do choose to deposit and play here you will need to read the requirements thoroughly. We recommend you check anything you might have a question on with their customer service. With all of that said, once you understand their requirements thoroughly they have fantastic software (Microgaming) and Live Poker (by Prima Poker) and truly amazing bonuses and other player incentives. I think it's worth putting in the effort of understanding Royal Vegas's terms to play there. It seems to be one of the best Fortune Lounge casinos out there.
