Casino Action just “sounds” like a site where something happens, doesn’t it? There is a promise inherent in its name that is realised when you get there. You see, if you don’t want to download their casino, you can also play online through their Flash interface, a boon to frustrated MAC owners.
Casino Action looks like its name, gleaming in glittering gold and subtle black; displaying their $1,250 bonus offer so visibly that it is difficult not to be enticed to play – and play you should. You get to use their $1,250 during your first hour of play. Not an insignificant enticement.
Software
If you have a high-speed connection or a MAC, you may want to play their Flash online games. Otherwise, it is easy to download their PC software, following the instructions as they come up. As you would expect, Casino Action’s games are powered by Microgaming’s advanced software, making it both easy to set up and fun to play.
Online Casino Games
Like a few other high level sites, Casino Action features 347 Las Vegas Style casino games including Mermaids Millions, an online, 5 reel, 15 payline video slot that was played over 70 million times in one year! One of the keys to this slot is that betting can start at a penny, range up to a dollar and Jackpots up to $37,500 are achievable on a max bet.
There are Progressive Games available in Table Games (4), Video Poker(2), Video Slots(11), Reel Slots(6), and one Progressive MegaSpin. There are 31 variations on Poker, Blackjack, Texas Hold ‘Em, Pontoon, and Roulette; 7 Multihand Blackjack and 7 more Single Hand Blackjack; many options in Power Poker and lots of variants in 10, 50, and 100 Play Power Poker. Video slots include so many options with 5, 9, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 100 paylines, Reel slots with 1, 3, and 5 paylines; but also fruit style machines and MegaSpins…altogether 347 games.
Customer Support
Casino Action supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, Dutch, Greek, Chinese, Portuguese and the Brazilian variant languages. Like all full service operations, they maintain 24/7 support lines in their call centre with specific numbers for Canada, the UK, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, and an “international” line for everyone else. Casino Action includes the “e-mail us and we’ll call you back” service along with a general e-mail address. They also provide a “live chat” option.
Payout Percentages and Security
Casino Action issues players with a unique account number and the player, as usual, chooses the password and all of this is over a 128-bit encrypted connection for security as safe as your bank. UK readers, please don’t take that wrongly as some of the UK banks in previous years were apparently less secure than these casinos. However, those banks assured the public that those problems were corrected.
Casino Action is authorised by the Lotteries & Gaming Authority of Malta to offer remote gambling. eCOGRA has performed consistent audits on Casino Action’s average percentage payouts and they show All Games payout at 97.07%, Slot Games at 95.18%, Table Games at 98.32%, and Poker Games at 98.97% according to the audit performed on the data from September 1 to 30, 2009. The audits online for 2009 show a relatively level set of payout percentages throughout the year, of which the September percentages are fairly indicative.
Instructions
To begin playing Casino Action, you simply need to download their software onto your PC and their instructions are easy to follow. As you would expect, they also give you complete instructions on depositing money into your “Bank” account.
Online at Casino Action, support numbers are given for USA players. Now I don’t know if they are either anticipating a return to legal gambling for US citizens, they have forgotten to take it off, or they are still accepting US customers while the electronic gambling law implementation has been put off until mid-2010 IF it will be implemented, then.
There are some “taxing” issues we suspect for Canadian and French players as the withdrawals page has a “special message” for people from those countries. However, we can only assume that all players desire to play fairly and respect their country’s legal requirements.
All-in-all, Casino Action is a vibrant site that offers enough variation to keep both new and experienced players interested for quite a while – and, we hope, profitably interested! Good Luck!
