Overall Score: 78/90 Visit: Vegas Palms Casino

Summary: Vegas Palms is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in the Mowhawk Territory of Khanawake. This is one of the older online casinos and still uses the old Microgaming software with single deck blackjack. Vegas Palms has been overlooked by many, but the new $150 bonus with only 10x's wagering requirements can't be beat. Vegas Palms is a member of the Fortune Affiliates group.

Accreditation: 9/10 Kahnawake Gaming Commission. license for Microgaming software.

House Edge: 8.5/10 House edge is 0.24% single deck or 0.58% for multihand/multideck blackjack on the old Microgaming software.

Payment History: 8.5/10 Courteous, fast, and efficient payout. I received my money in my Neteller account within 5 days. Uses ProCyber services.

Bonuses/Comps: 9/10 The bonus of 100% up to $150 is nice considering they still use the old Microgaming software with better player odds. At only 10x's wagering requirements, this quite an offer. It takes some work to find the terms and conditions, but they look good. All blackjack games count towards wager requirements.

Software/Graphics: 9/10 Decent graphics based on downloadable software. Annoying dealer voices can be deactivated in the options. Game play is at a moderate speed, not as fast as the newer Microgaming casinos.

Customer Support: 8/10 Good support. 24/7 email support and live operator support. I wish they also had 24 hours live phone support, but they are working on this.

Blackjack Rules/Variations: 8/10 Multihand/Single hand. use same strategy card for either game. Only the odds are different.

Multihand Rules: house edge 0.58%. Rules: 5 decks, all bets lost with dealer blackjack, double 9,10,11 only, No double after split, dealer stays on soft 17, up to 1 split, no surrender, may draw on split aces.

Single Hand Rules: house edge 0.24%. Rules: 1 deck, all bets lost with dealer blackjack, double 9,10,11 only, No double after split, dealer stays on soft 17, up to 1 split, no surrender, may draw on split aces.

Banking: 9/10 Processed through Selborne limited. Accepts Neteller, Firepay, and credit cards. I was unable to use my credit card at Vegas Palms.

My Rating: 9/10 Vegas Palms is a solid microgaming casino that's struggling to maintain business with the older software. To make up for the older software, they have a great bonus of 100% up to $150 and only 5x wager requirements. Great casino for beginners.
