CASINO RIVA

Casino Riva is touted as one of the leading online gambling establishments in Europe but the website is predominately in French and strangely with no visible options to change the language.

Casino Riva runs iSoftBet programs via a web based flash system; this has also been translated into a mobile site perfect for smart phones and tablets. Mobile gaming is a really ideal way to use the latest technology while commuting or traveling while still having fun.

They offer a €20 Free No-Deposit Bonus to test drive some of the games on offer. Of course they cannot give money away for nothing so a minimum deposit of €20 needs to be made and games vary on how much they contribute to play-through requirements, for instance blackjack usually has a low 2-5% contribution.

They offer other enticing promos like Magical Riva Night which takes place on the 15^th of every month. By raffle draw you can select to win either a gift of your choice with a €300 value, €100 in cash or an equivalent amount of your last deposit.

You need to be aware of reports of slow payments being made out and more seriously even non-payments to winners. The customer support has been lacking by not responding to enquires in reasonable time frames and some of the staff have not been sufficiently trained to explain all the rules and procedures.

They have punitive business policies that can punish players who make a payout request and who don’t complete all the play-throughs necessary. The casino is entitled to wipe out the winnings and bonuses from the player’s account, whether the withdrawal was intentional or not. In addition to that, moneys are sent out only by bank transfer or by the outdated method of a cheque; processing times take two weeks or more.

These reports are surprisingly fewer in number than what we anticipated. As they own a Malta license, which is a European Union Member State, one would expect service levels and professionalism to be of fairly high standard.

Games at Casino Riva

The most popular slots are Super Lucky Reels, Rambo and Scrolls of Ra with recent additions like Dolphin’s Island, Ambiance, Musketeer Slot and The Best Witch.

If slots are not your thing, the French are well known for their own brand of roulette plus a great selection of variations. Blackjack and poker is there with multi-hand options for those who enjoy the challenge.

To round off the entertainment check out one of the biggest collections of video poker we’ve ever seen.
