Overall Score: 9.1/10
Introduction: Silver Dollar is one of the oldest online casinos enticing players with juicy bonuses since 1997. A charming online casino to play. Based and licensed in Antigua, one of the best casinos to play. Powered by the powerful Odd On Gaming software.
Accreditation: 9.5/10 One of the safest casinos licensed by the government of Antigua and Burbuda. You can verify the licensure at the www.antiguagaming.com. They are listed under E.H. New Ventures Gaming Inc.
House Edge: 8/10 The house edge is calculated at 0.73% for blackjack. Not the best house edge, but the bonus rules make up for the poor rules.
Payment History: 7/10 I received my payment to my neteller account in 6 businness days. They did require some additional paper work to process my cash out.
Bonuses/Comps: 9.5/10 The bonus is a refreshing110% up to $110! There is a minimum purchase of $50 required. Wager requirements are only 16x's. In the terms and conditions, they state that all money in the "bonus" account is non-cashable. Don't worry, this is NOT a sticky bonus.
When you make your initial wagers, the casino will remove the money from your bonus account first, and all winnings go into your normal account. No money in your bonus account will be cashable (but this money will quickly be transferred into your normal account as soon as you wager your deposit once.)
Software/ Graphics: 7/10 Silver Dollars is powered by Odds On Gaming Software. While not as big as some of the other software companies, they have done a respectable job. The game play is fast, voices are reasonable, and the experience is fun. I wish the load up time was faster, and there is an annoying pop up box whenever the dealer asks for insurance. I also wish they had more versions of blackjack available.
Customer Support: 9.5/10 Great support. 24/7 phone, and email support. No live chat feature yet. Operators are very friendly and helpful.
Blackjack Rules/Variations: Silver Dollars has 2 versions of blackjack available. There's blackjack, then there's blackjack with a progressive. I don't recommend the progressive, as this has poor odds. Here are the rules.
Five deck Blackjack Rules: House edge calculated at 0.73%
1) 5 decks
2) European rules: all bets lost on dealer blackjack, dealer doesn't peak
3) dealer stays on soft 17
4) no double after splitting
5) one card after split aces
6) one split per hand
7) double on 9,10, or 11 only
8) no surrender
Banking: 9/10. Uses Virtual Exchange Online Inc. for all transactions. Accepts a variety of payments in the form of neteller, firepay, and credit cards.
What I Have to Say: Silver Dollar is a fun casino to play and has a great introductory bonus offer that accepts blackjack. A true bonus that is not sticky, 110% match up to $110, and licensed by Antigua/Burbada, making it a great place to play. Good luck!
