Littlewoods Casino
is the only UK operated licencee on the Cryptologic software platform and I first stumbled across it as a player back in
early 2005 when the games choice was far more limited than it is today. And I still play there...if you read on, you'll
understand why!
Unusually, Littlewoods casino only offers UK pounds as a deposit and cashout option where most casinos will usually offer
Euro and Dollar options. Although Littlewoods don't accept players from the USA, pretty much anywhere else can sign up
and play. I'll delve a little more into my personal favourite games at Littlewoods in a mo, but before I do I should
mention that while I myself prefer video poker and slots, there are a stack of mmore familiar casino games including
all the usual card games, roulette and keno games, plus variations thereof.
There is a fairly average signup bonus and occasional loyalty incentives, but that isn't really the main focus of Litlewoods
casino to be honest. For me, the speed of cashing out, along with the lack of "reverse pending" time, suited my requirements.
I could cash out on a Sunday evening and have he money in my UK bank account by 7am Tuesday morning. I never needed to use support -
probably a good thing as back in 2005 I lead to beleive it was pretty poor, although from what I have read more recently it seems
better.
The
main reason I joined - and stayed - at Littlewoods for so long was multi-hand video poker. This is difficult to explain unless you've
actually played video poker at different online casinos, but Cryptologic's video poker, while having a slightly higher house edge
than the Microgaming offerings of
Ladbrokes casino or
32Red casino - it's just superbly crafted. It actually makes the
game more exciting than everywhere else I've tried...maybe it's the slight pause between dealing the hands, or the slightly less mechanical
feel than the Microgaming version...pass. I still think today it's the best video poker out there. My personal favourite
video poker variants at Litlewoods casino are 10-hand (or 50-hand) Deuces Wild Video Poker and Bonus Poker.
regards slots, the scope has grown recently with the addition of the excellent Marvel games. Well, I say excellent, but not all are
to my taste if I'm honest. I love the ones with free spins in the bonus round like "Thor", "Silver Surfer" and "Hulk - Ultimate Revenge",
but less so the "pick 'em" style machines like the basic Hulk. But each to their own. They are definately worth a play.
Like 32Red, being a regular long-time player at
Littlewoods Casino is probably about the best recommendation I can give. It's certainly worth the download
and a look around, and if you enjoy video poker, then this is DEFINATELY the place IMO.
