Euro Fortune Casino Review

It’s raining chips at Euro Fortune. They cascade from the top of the page before disappearing to the streets below while a triumvirate of maverick characters watch with interest. There’s a fur-wrapped high society lady, a purple-robed gentleman and a dumpy little wizard casting his wand at the world. A furled EU flag ties in with the site’s name, while the logo comprises a generic four-leaf clover.

All combined, it makes for an arresting homepage, one that’s hard to stop looking at. The only way to stop those poker chips from cascading is to click Play Now or to click anything that will take you away from the homepage and grant some respite from the deluge. While the notion of having to download software to play will deter many players, there are some reasons why Euro Fortune might be worth your time, specifically on account of the €1,000 bonus that must be expended within one hour. There’s also a VIP programme that is apparently extremely rewarding if Euro Fortune is to be believed.

About Euro Fortune

Euro Fortune is owned and operated by Cyberrock Entertainment N.V. who are registered in Curacao in the Dutch Antilles. This is regarded as the easiest place in the world for obtaining a gaming license, but that’s not to take away from Euro Fortune: they might have elected to register there, but nothing untoward should be read into this, other than to know that the cost of obtaining a license in Curacao is lower than that of many other territories.

In terms of software, Euro Fortune is Rival Powered. While customers are encouraged to download software to play, there is a Flash-based option available to Mac users and others who don’t have a desktop PC. The range of games offered at the instant play and downloadable casinos is similar, though the latter has a greater selection of games including slots, progressive jackpots, video poker and roulette. If you need to get hold of a customer service rep while playing at Euro Fortune, live chat is in operation 24/7 and there’s also email support and a range of international phone numbers including specific numbers for France, Spain and Germany.

All Major Currencies

There’s a fair selection of deposit options available at Euro Fortune, which accepts major currencies including Euros, pounds sterling, South African Rand and the Australian dollar. If you’re thinking of paying by card, Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and various others are available, all with instant deposits. If you’re interested in maximising your stake, though, a better deposit option would be one of the ewallets that are supported.

Use Skrill or Neteller, for instance, and you’ll be granted a 10% bonus. Other deposit options at your disposal are Ukash, Paysafecard and UseMyBank. When it comes to making a withdrawal, the same options are available to you in most cases and funds will generally clear instantly. The only exception is bank transfer, which can take 5-10 days. Euro Fortune uses SSL to ensure that all payments are sent securely via the site using 128-bit encryption. Before your first deposit you’ll need to submit identification documents.

Bags of Bonuses

There are some interesting promotions to be savoured at Euro Fortune that are a little different to those you’ll find at other sites of this kind. After all, how many other sites have you visited where you were given €1,000 to play with before you’d deposited so much as a penny? Naturally there are a few conditions attached. The €1,000 will be awarded as soon as you’ve registered your playing account, whereupon this bonus cash can be put to use playing the casino games or 3D slots. Needless to say you can’t just take this cash and run with it – there are certain conditions attached, including a wagering requirement, before you can withdraw anything.

As part of its welcome bonus, Euro Fortune will give players total bonus cash amounting to four times their deposit. Start with €300 and you’ll be given a total of €1,200 for example, though it’s possible to deposit as little as €20 to claim this offer. Euro Fortune appears to be very generous with its bonus cash offers; as a rule, download-oriented casinos generally are. In every other respect they’re inferior to the latest instant play casinos, but it’s hard to quibble with offers such as the weekly loyalty bonus that’s awarded to all Euro Fortune players and which can be worth up to 300%.

How to Be a VIP

If you’re prone to wagering large sums at online casinos, you may be interested in learning about Euro Fortune’s VIP programme. A VIP manager will be swift to spot your potential for becoming a whale (metaphorically speaking that is) and will get in touch to induct you into the VIP programme if you’re so inclined. This will entitle you to loyalty bonuses, increased comps points, exclusive gifts and all the other lagniappes that are commensurate with a VIP scheme.

Euro Fortune’s Slots

As is invariably the way with old-fashioned casinos that cater to the desktop PC brigade, Euro Fortune’s slots have been sorted into umpteen categories. On the one hand, this means that chasing down classic 3-reel slots such as Big Cash Win or Chicken Little is a doddle. On the other hand, it means you’ve got to perform some complex mental arithmetic to determine whether that game you’re seeking is located in Video Slots, 3D Slots or i-Slots.

For the record, Video Slots contains the likes of Scary Rich, Ice Picks and Candy Cottage. If you’ve never heard of these games, you’re not alone. There’s a slightly more modern selection of games to be found in 3D Slots however, where the likes of Fruit Zen, Gypsy Rose and Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde can be found. Some of these titles, the Betsoft games in particular, are top notch.

The Other Games

While the quality of the slots varies (don’t even ask about i-Slots), the remaining categories at Euro Fortune’s casino score much better. It’s hard to go wrong with table games such as craps, baccarat and blackjack. Likewise when it comes to video poker and bingo; Euro Fortune offers 30, 75, 80 and 90-ball games. There are scratch cards too and an entire live dealer section serving up baccarat, blackjack, roulette and poker.

Fine For Desktop Players

Euro Fortune is an interesting and occasionally confusing site, as is often the case with sites that are fixated with getting their customers to download software to play. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, and there is an instant play option available too. No, the real mystery regarding Euro Fortune is the €1,000 bonus that constitutes one-hour’s play. It just doesn’t quite add up.

Still, regardless of its merits, the welcome and weekly bonuses are mighty enticing, even if the casino games themselves aren’t out of this world. You’ll certainly encounter better slots and progressive jackpot games at other online casinos, that can be said for certain. Euro Fortune then: fine for desktop players, useless for mobile players and everyone else.
