Microgaming is not only a leading online gaming provider, but a name you can trust to deliver every time. Superior graphics, animations, and sound quality are only part of the package. Game variety and fairness and safe and secure banking are equally important, and at Platinum Play Casino, you will find all of that. Also, with brand new games and gaming concepts being introduced monthly, you get a chance to try some of them out as soon as they are introduced.

Unsurprisingly, Platinum Play Casino has already become the Internet gambling site of choice for many Canadians, as well as for a growing number of savvy players in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, players in the U.S. have to miss out because they do not have access.

The software can be quickly and easily downloaded onto your computer. Within minutes, you have access to more than 400 exciting games. Or, if you prefer, you can select the no download instant play flash version with fewer games. You can also access the casino on your smartphone device, mobile or tablet app.

Platinum Play Casino is independently eCogra certified. The eCogra seal of approval means that the casino has met the organization's stringent criteria for gaming transparency and fairness. You can check the eCogra monthly updates on the casino website.

As a member of the esteemed Fortune Lounge group of online casinos, Platinum Play also offers you all the extra privileges of Fortune Lounge membership.

Platinum Play Casino Review

Games

The top online casinos offer their players both quantity and quality, and in that respect, Platinum Play lives up to its name. With more than 400 games to choose from, including more than 300 slot games, there is something for everyone. You may have a tough time deciding what to play first, but you will then have even more incentive to come back soon and try something different. With an average certified payout for all games combined of more than 96%, you are unlikely to go wrong no matter what game you choose.

If you love slots, pick your favorites from traditional 3 reel slots, action-packed 5 reel video slots (including the currently featured slot The Dark Knight Rises), and amazing progressive slots where no special skill, just being in the right place at the right time, could make you a millionaire.

All of the Platinum Play Casino progressive slots are included in the vast Microgaming central prize pool, so the top jackpots are huge. Somebody will be the next Mega Moolah or Major Millions top winner, and you have as good a chance as anyone.

If you prefer table games, you also have many options. Not only are all the familiar favorites available; Platinum Play gives you the chance to try out different ways of playing some of them.

For example, if the only form of roulette you know is American Roulette with a double zero, why not try European or French Roulette, both of which have just a single zero and are more favorable to the player. This reviewer would like to see fuller descriptions of some of the other game variations, like those for blackjack for example. Such information would help players decide beforehand which form of the game they would like to play and also do any advance reading that might be useful on rules and strategy.

Be sure to check out your option to play roulette, blackjack, or baccarat with a live dealer. You can even have your dealer be a Playboy bunny, if you so desire. You will find the experience so close to that of playing in a real casino, you will almost forget that you are still in front of your computer screen.

Deposits and Withdrawals

One would expect banking at an online gambling site called Platinum Play to be no-hassle, and it is. You can choose from a wide range of safe and secure methods for both deposits and withdrawals. However, you can increase your Welcome Bonus by 10% if you use one of the preferred banking methods. Platinum Play accepts both the U.S. and Canadian dollar as currency.

Whatever method you select, the casino's state-of-the-art encryption technology insures that all personal financial information and transactions are kept private and secure.

If you have any questions or concerns, customer support is available to help you via live chat, phone, or email. The service is offered in many languages, including both English and French. While you can access the service 24/7, live chat service in French is available only at designated times.

Welcome Bonus

The Platinum Play Welcome Bonus is very different from what you will find at most other online casinos, even other Microgaming casinos. The usual mode of thinking when it comes to Welcome Bonuses is that bigger is better because the lure of a super-size bonus is presumably what gets more new customers in the door. What happens, in reality, though is that many players lose out, either because they don't understand the terms and conditions or they can't afford them. The casinos might offer Welcome Bonuses up to $500, $1,000, $1,500, or even more, as a deposit match and then impose substantial playthrough requirements for withdrawal which must be satisfied to the letter.

But the Platinum Play online gambling site takes a different approach, which is a refreshing change. Platinum Play gives you a bonus for free or almost for free. The bonus is in the form of 1,500 "credits," which you are given 48 hours to use either as play money without a deposit or, as long as you deposit at least $20 and play through all of the credits, as a chance to win real money (up to $100).

Those who are new to casino gambling or whose skills might be rusty from not having played in awhile can benefit greatly from this offer. It gives them the opportunity, rarely extended by a casino in business to make a profit, not only to sample the games, but to make a lot of bets at little or no risk.

The second part of the Platinum Play Welcome Bonus consists of a 100% match bonus up to 200 credits for those players who do make a deposit on day 1. If you use one of the preferred banking methods, you receive an extra 10%. The match bonus comes with a playthrough requirement for withdrawal of 40x the bonus. In meeting this requirement, only slots and parlor games (Keno and scratch cards) count 100%; other games count substantially less or not at all.

Compared to the huge bonuses that some online casinos offer, the $200 maximum might not seem like much, but you can easily double it. Just use a search engine to log on, and the casino will reward you for your effort by repeating the bonus offer with your second deposit.

The Platinum Play Welcome Bonus probably isn't for everyone. High rollers, who make big deposits, and expect big bonuses in return, will most likely be put off by it.

Loyalty Program

Player recognition at this casino does not stop with the Welcome Bonus. Every time you play, you receive loyalty points which you can accumulate and later redeem for free casino credits. Different games get rewarded at different rates, with slot play earning points faster than table games. (See the casino website for details.)

In addition, from day 1, you are enrolled in the casino's 4-tiered Loyalty Club. Starting at the Silver level, you receive 2,500 free loyalty points to begin with, then based on play, you can work your way up to Gold, Platinum, and Diamond status. Gold level and higher players enjoy faster accumulation of loyalty points, bigger and more frequent bonuses, and a special birthday bonus.

Exciting Extras

Platinum Play Casino appreciates your patronage, whatever your level of play. Accordingly, there are special weekly and monthly promotions open to all players."

In addition, as a Fortune Lounge member, you have an open invitation to compete in a variety of special daily and weekly tournaments, including those of the International Slots and Blackjack Leagues, reserved exclusively for Fortune Lounge Players.
