Monte Carlo Casino Review

In the world of gambling, it doesn't get much classier than the casinos of Monte Carlo. The district of Monaco is renowned for it's Place du Casino, where some of the world's wealthiest people and highest rollers wile away their evenings in the finest of luxury. If Las Vegas is known for being big, bright and bold, then Monte Carlo is known for being exclusive, refined and elegant. 

Admittedly, not everyone in the world can make the most of Monte Carlo's casinos because, let's face it, not everyone can be bothered to iron their tuxedos or put on their finest make up (well, that and the fact that we're not all stinking rich). However, with MonteCarloCasino.com, bettors from all walks of life can enjoy the selfsame classy casino environment from the comfort of their own homes with their desktop computers, or while sitting on the bus to work with their mobile phones. You don't even have to take off your slippers, although we would advise it if you are heading to the office. 

The website is designed with style and panache in mind, without making it difficult for newcomers to the online casino to find their way around the many slot machines from various software providers. The site is also quite internationally friendly with many currency options to choose from as well as different languages such as English, Polish and Portuguese.

History that Speaks for Itself 

The history and prestige of this casino speaks for itself, having set the standard for high-class gambling since 1863. Of course, this website isn't quite that old (it was only launched in 2013), but with a registered trademark and the rights to the esteemed Monte Carlo name, it's quite evident that players can expect some truly great things from this website. The casino is fully accredited with some gambling licenses as issued by the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. 

So, you would rightfully expect that all of the punters who have played at Monte Carlo Casino had nothing but good things to say about the service, right? Well, not quite, because there are some negative customer reviews and complaints available to read on the internet. Such complaints have cited incidents in which the casino closed players' accounts after large wins were won and non-responsive customer support. However, the casino has made some effort to rectify such situations, providing evidence when needed to support their actions. 

Professional Customer Support 

Even though some players have reported an unresponsive level of customer service, we did manage to speak to a friendly representative from the casino via live chat (they even used fancy terms of address like “Sir” and “Madam”). This agent informed us that the live support portal was online from 10am to 11pm CET, which may explain why some punters found that there was no one answering their questions. If players do find the chat service offline, then they can use the email address provided. 

All the Slots You Could Need

When you think of the real casinos of Monte Carlo, perhaps the first thing that comes to your mind is the smooth spin and rattle of a roulette wheel or the plush green felt of a blackjack table. However, the vast majority of games available to bet on at this online version of Monte Carlo Casino are in fact 5-reel video slots – many of which don't quite have the same classic charm but offer up plenty of entertaining spins nonetheless. 

There are hundred of different 5-reel video slots to choose from with top of the range software providers called up to supply the action. One of the main software names on show is no other than Quickfire, the distribution wing of the ever-popular Microgaming game studio which also has the rights to games by a variety of smaller studios. So, not only will players find a variety of classic Microgaming video slot titles such as Immortal Romance, Machine Gun Unicorn and Thunderstruck II, but they will also find some interesting games with unique gameplay features such as Big Time Gaming's Faeries Fortune, 2by2 Gaming's Legends of Africa and Scary Friends by Rabcat. 

Big jackpot hunters will also find Mega Moolah by Microgaming alongside other progressive jackpots such as Cosmic Fortune and Hall of Gods by NetEnt as well as Cleopatra and Siberian Storm by IGT – one of the slot machine industry's most respected veteran game-makers. Another well-respected old-school slot creator is WMS who serve up many popular titles such as Raging Rhino, Cash Spin and Ooh Aah Dracula. Meanwhile, spinners will find a variety of fresh and exciting themes courtesy of up and coming developers such as Thunderkick and Quickspin, who between then deliver interesting themes such as The Rift, Flux, The Wild Chase and Razor Tooth. 

Some Classic Games for a Classy Casino

Of course, this online casino does stay true to its roots with a small yet satisfying variety of classic casino games such as blackjack, roulette and punto banco. Each variety, in fact, has different game for players who want to pay in different stake levels. There are also a wide selection of live dealer tables to take players straight into the real deal casino environment.

Easy Banking from All Over the World

Players from all over the world can make deposits and withdrawals from Monte Carlo Casino using their native currencies with options such as Great British Pounds, Euros, US Dollars, Polish Zloty, Hungarian Forints, Swiss Francs, Swedish Krona, Norwegian Krone, Czech Korunas and Brazilian Reals. What's more, there are many different methods available to make transactions to ensure convenient and hasty payments. You can see all of the methods with their respective limits in the table below:

Players should keep in mind that all withdrawals must go through a mandatory pending period for checks by the casino. This could last between 3 and 5 working days. 

Big Bonus for the High-Rollers

Despite claiming to be tailored to players from all walks of life, Monte Carlo Casino is still somewhat aimed at the high rollers, as evident from its casino bonus. The reason for this is because, in order for players to release a $/£/€250 first deposit bonus, they will have to deposit a minimum amount of at least $/£/€500. That's hardly well suited to the casual bettor. 

Plus, players will have to meet some hefty wagering requirements which ask for a total of 60x the bonus amount to be wagered before any withdrawal can be made. That means you will have to pay in a total of $/£/€15,000 before you can feasibly see any benefits from this bonus. However, players can of course request a withdrawal of eligible funds before they meet those playthrough targets as long as their forfeit all bonus money.

Glamour in the Palm of Your Hand 

If you just can't get enough of that Monte Carlo Casino glamour, then you will be able to take it with you wherever you go. That is because the service offers a mobile and tablet friendly website that will work perfectly well on modern devices powered by Android, Apple iOS and Windows. 

A Touch of Class 

It has to be said that Monte Carlo Casino is perhaps the most elegantly designed casino website out there on the web. But then again, would you expect anything else from an online casino that is branded after the cradle of wealth and luxury. And it's not all for show, because there is plenty of substance to this website thanks to a sizeable lobby of slot machines from some of the best game-studios in the business and an ample range of international banking methods. 

There is room for improvement, however, because the service could use some more variety in classic games department, not to mention a welcome deposit bonus that doesn't require a minimum pay-in of $/£/€500!
