Review of the Golden Casino Downloadable Software and Games

Regardless of some fuzzy regulations surrounding online casino gambling, many Americans are continuing to turn to the Internet to try out their luck at slots, video poker and other traditional casino games. One such well-known online gambling arena is Golden Casino.

Golden Casino, like all online casinos, is licensed overseas. They are governed by the Curacao Internet Gaming Association based in the Netherlands.

To play, you can download the casino software or play the no-download version. I highly recommend that you download the casino software. It will offer you significantly more games. The software version contains at least four times the number of slot games (especially video slots), single hand video poker games, more table games and tournament games. The no-download version is great for Mac users.

Every online casino has two types of accounts - real and free play accounts. As a first time real player, Golden Casino will match your deposit for up to $555. All transactions are executed in US dollars. Due to the restrictions placed on the US players, you are likely going to have trouble making your deposits via your credit or debit cards. Also, don't bother with gift cards - most US based gift card companies (such as All Access Gift cards) will not be accepted at Golden Casino. Try out Solid Debit Card as an option. While there are nominal fees when you deposit and withdraw money from this Australian based debit card, Solid Debit Card is the most efficient way to fund your account and retrieve your winnings.

Like land casinos, Golden Casino has a players club. Depending on your level of deposits and frequency of play, you will fall within one of seven tiers of their VIP program. Also, this is one of the few casinos on the web that offers daily player rewards based on your play the previous day, and special deposit matches every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
