Harbour Casino Review English
Harbour Casino
Review Welcome
Bonus: Our
Rating: Update:
This casino is no longer
accepting new players. Existing
players will continue to be
served. Introduction English
Harbour Casino launched way back
in 1997 which makes them one of
the most established
Online
Casinos.
They have a large base of regular
players and enjoy a good
reputation within the
industry. 100%
Deposit Match
Bonus New
players at English Harbour Casino
are credited with a free money
welcome bonus when you make your
first real money deposit of
£10 or more. Any initial
deposit of £10 or more is
matched 100% up to a maximum
bonus of £100 free. For
example: In
addition to the deposit-match
bonus above, English Harbour
Casino will give you a 'reload
bonus' every time you deposit
again in the future, as
follows: We
couldn't find any minimum deposit
requirement for this monthly
bonus. Tournaments English
Harbour offer regular weekly and
monthly tournaments for both
their slots and table games. You
can click on the 'Tournaments'
link in the casino lobby at any
time and view the list of current
tournaments being run. Many
of English Harbour Casino's
tournaments are completely free
to enter. Prizes
won when playing these
tournaments come in the form of a
combination of real money and
casino credits. The prizes won
are credited immediately once the
tournament ends. Getting
Started Signing-up
at English Harbour Casino is
pretty painless. Simply visit
English
Harbour Casino's
website,
download the casino games
software and register as a new
player. That's all that's
needed. One
small niggle - when registering
as a new player, the casino
software gave us customer support
telephone numbers which
definitely did not look UK based.
As we're playing at a UK online
casino, we should certainly be
seeing UK (preferably freephone)
contact details. Once
registered, make your first
deposit and you're ready to hit
the tables. Another
thing that annoyed us was when we
tested uninstalling the casino
software. When a player decides
to uninstall the casino software
for any reason, it should be
completely uninstalled. However,
when we uninstalled English
Harbour's software, we found that
loads of folders and files
remained on our PC. We had to
manually delete them ourselves.
Very naughty. Casino
Games We
couldn't find a precise number of
casino games available to play at
English Habour but their website
states they offer "over 60 Las
Vegas style casino games". This
isn't exactly an impressive
number given that many online
casinos have more than five times
that amount. That said, English
Harbour do have the majority of
traditional games available such
as blackjack, roulette, slots,
etc. There are a number of
Progressive
Jackpot
Games
which can yield some huge jackpot
wins. The
games at English Harbour are
okay, if nothing remarkable. It's
worth noting that the most
recently added games are a
considerable improvement over
their older games which, to be
blunt, look rather ancient.
English Harbour's video poker
games in particular look like
they've fallen off the
ark. On
the plus side, the roulette and
blackjack games at English
Harbour Casino do look and feel
nice and they play well. It's all
just a bit inconsistent - one
minute you're being impressed
with nice, crisp graphics with
modern, realistic sound effects
and then you flick over to
another game and it's like being
in the dark ages. Play
Instantly Or Play For
Free Most
players tend to opt to download
the casino games software when
joining an online casino. This
gives a better quality gaming
experience overall. However, if
you are not at your own PC or
just don't feel like installing
the software then you can instead
choose to play via the
instant-play Flash
version. One
nice feature at English Harbour
is that you can choose to 'Play
For Fun' instead of real money
and you get to play all the same
games with a starting 'fun money'
balance of £3000. This is a
good way to 'try before you buy'
and see if you like what you
see. Summary Whilst
there's nothing seriously wrong
with English Harbour, there's
nothing particularly brilliant
about the casino either. Much of
it feels a bit dated and
uninspiring. You can certainly
feel safe playing here and you'll
have a nice enough experience
doing so. You'll definitely get a
fair gaming session and you'll be
paid when you win. However,
compare English Harbour Casino to
some of our Recommended
Online
Casinos
and you're talking worlds apart.
It's like the difference between
Alton Towers and the local fair
coming to town. It's
probably fair to describe English
Harbour Casino as satisfactory
but no more than that. |
