Mr Ringo Casino Review

While the name makes us think only of raccoons and less-handsome Beatles members, you’ll find neither at Mr Ringo Casino – just a host of top games from an incredibly diverse range of providers.

Primarily a German-facing site, Mr Ringo Casino is powered by an extensive list of software companies including the country’s own Merkur Gaming, industry leaders NetEnt and Microgaming and a host of other boutique studios like Rabcat, NextGen Gaming, Play n’ GO and Novo Games.

Naturally this makes the range of titles on offer at Mr Ringo Casino incredibly diverse, allowing players to choose a gaming experience that is customised to their own personal needs and tastes. Though not playable in the United Kingdom, the US and its territories, France, Greece and the Netherlands, Mr Ringo Casino is available to English and French-speaking players in other regions and also includes German, Turkish, Russian and Spanish website versions to make it more accessible.

Ringo’s Stars

One of the biggest advantages of having such a diverse range of software providers on your site is that you basically get to choose the best titles from each studio when compiling your catalogue of games. That’s certainly the approach Mr Ringo Casino seem to have taken, as although they don’t offer the full selection of titles from each provider, they certainly do include some of the very best.

In total, there are more than 350 games currently available at Mr Ringo Casino, almost a third of which come in the form of video slots. These games can be found under the general heading “Slots” in the main casino lobby and also in the more specific “Novo Games” section of the website, where you’ll find an extra 52 games that (available to scandy palyers only) aren’t lumped in with the rest when you display all.

Despite this slightly confusing set-up, among the games available across both sections of the site you’ll find hugely popular titles like Book of Ra, Spiñata Grande and Piggy Riches, all of which represent the flagship titles of their respective studios. Games can also be viewed in lists including popular and featured games, while a manual search function allows you to locate specific titles.

One thing that is sadly missing from Mr Ringo Casino’s selection of slot games, however, is a range of progressive jackpot titles. Honestly, we’re not sure whether having so many different software providers has created a conflict of interest or whether there’s some underlying legal reason for this, but it’s a pretty shocking omission for a multi-national online casino not to feature any jackpot titles.

Moving away from slots, Mr Ringo Casino also provides a slightly stripped-down selection of 18 table games. These include several unusual forms of Roulette – including Chinese and Astro Roulette – and Blackjack as well as a number of Casino Hold’em titles and Baccarat. Though not the most extensive offering, some of these games are also available via the site’s NetEnt-powered live casino, which provides round-the-clock Blackjack and Roulette action in real time at a variety of bet limits.

Hidden away among the table games you’ll also find Jacks or Better and All American video poker titles, which is a fitting way of leading us on to a major gripe we have with Mr Ringo Casino – what on earth is going on with its lobbies? With video poker titles mixed in with the table games and kenos and bingos in with the slots, it seems clear to us that some games on the site simply haven’t been tagged appropriately and, as such, they messily appear in several different lobbies at once.

Saturday Night Live

Despite its slightly haphazard layout, the game selection at Mr Ringo Casino is redeemed somewhat by the fact that nearly all games – including those in the live casino suite – are available to play via portable device. With every title on the site ready for instant play, no download is necessary and games can simply be accessed directly through any HTML5 browser. The list of devices that can access Mr Ringo Casino includes iPads, iPhones and all Android-powered devices, making it an online casino that can be accessed anytime, anywhere by a wide range of differently-equipped players.

Magnificent Seven

As ever, Mr Ringo Casino offers players an incredibly long list of accepted deposit methods that shrinks dramatically when it comes to those that are still available for withdrawal. To avoid leaving customers in a position where they’ve deposited on the site only to find their preferred method isn’t accepted for cash out requests, we’re only going to list the seven methods that work both ways at the casino, which are: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Neteller, Skrill, EcoPayz and direct bank transfer. The good news, however, is that these seven accepted withdrawal methods are all incredibly speedy, with even direct bank transfers usually being credited to your account within 72 hours.

Missing An Open Goal

The bonus offers at Mr Ringo Casino are something of a tale of what might have been, but before we get into that let’s start by outlining what deals customers can benefit from when they join the site. First and foremost, new depositors will be able to benefit from a 100% deposit match up to €100 to help them get started, and there are also further 20% reload bonuses available on Mondays and a daily 20% happy hour bonus that is available every day from 7pm-9pm.

Given Mr Ringo Casino is partnered with two German football league teams – SC Paderborn and SV Sandhausen – however, we can’t help but feel the site should have made more of this fact by offering some unique promotions like match tickets and player experiences. True, neither side will be featuring in the Bundesliga any time soon, but it still seems like a waste not to use this handy promotional option.

Semi-Live Help

Mr Ringo Casino does offer a live help facility, but as with most things on the site, this comes with a caveat. Although live help will allow players to instantly connect with a customer support operator to resolve their queries, this service is only available between the hours of 12:00 and 19:00 CET – a fairly limited window for such a big online casino. Outside of these hours, players have only one option – using the site’s online contact form – and while this is by no means a complete disaster, it is a slightly antiquated way to resolve complaints, with replies usually being issued within 24 hours.

Small Print

Overall, Mr Ringo Casino is the type of site that gives with one hand and takes with the other. Sure, the game selection is decent, there are some bonus offers and a live help service is technically available, but you can’t but feel that each of these aspects on the site could be... well, better.

In essence, players at Mr Ringo Casino will find a decent online site to call their home, but with a little bit of tweaking it could have been vastly improved. While the football team issue is just a flight of fancy that we thought would have been a nice touch, things like incorrectly sectioned games are a legitimate annoyance and really shouldn’t have any place at a modern online casino operation.
