Wayne Casino Review

Holster your pistols and mosey on down to Wayne Casino, a Wild West-themed online gambling destination that pays more than a passing homage to the legendary cowboy actor, John Wayne.

Featuring a completely unique casino interface that really doesn't look like anything else in the industry, Wayne Casino instantly stands out from the competition with its American homestead-style background and wooden colour scheme. Once visitors have gotten past the casino's initial aesthetic impact, however, they'll also find a wide range of slots and table games are available.

Indeed, Wayne Casino is home to more than 180 NextGen Gaming and NetEnt slots and casino games, with an extensive library of dealer-dealt titles also supplied by Evolution Gaming. All options on the site are 100% instant play - meaning no download is required - and many of them are also available on mobile or tablet devices with state-of-the-art touch screen functionality as standard.

Licensed by the government of Malta, Wayne Casino is available in a wide range of countries where offshore online gambling is not prohibited, though players from the UK, US, Spain and France will not currently be able to access the site due to various regulations in their respective jurisdictions.

Six-Shooters

In terms of the games on offer at Wayne Casino, the site particularly excels in the field of video slot machines, where players will find everything from state-of-the-art titles to old-school slot consoles. With these games being provided by NextGen Gaming and NetEnt, players can rest assured that some of the best-recognised and most popular games on the market will all be present and correct.

Naturally, given the site's aesthetic and theme, Wild West is something of a favourite with slot players at Wayne Casino, but visitors will also find a host of top titles including Gonzo's Quest, Starburst, Twin Spin and Lost Island. The casino also features a number of classic three-reel slot machines, with Safari Madness and Jackpot Jester 5,000 two of the more traditional titles on offer.

Moving away from the slot machines, players at Wayne Casino will also find a modest selection of virtual table games in a separate lobby, with Blackjack and Roulette being the best-represented titles. This gives players access to European, American and French Roulette and most major forms of Blackjack like Single Deck and Double Exposure, but it is certainly not the most extensive offering.

Other games to feature in the casino section include Baccarat, Casino Hold'em, Oasis Poker and Caribbean Stud Pro, but it is actually in the area of live casino that the site really excels. Here, players will find one of the most comprehensive selections of dealer-dealt games anywhere on the web, with several variants of Blackjack, Roulette, Casino Poker and Baccarat available all hours of the day.

In total, there are a staggering 30 live options supplied by Evolution Gaming to choose from in a variety of different limits and formats, with each game featuring a live chat interface so players can communicate with the dealer and enjoy a more authentic live casino experience while they play.

Rounding out the full line-up of games at Wayne Casino, players will find four video poker variants - Deuces Wild Double Up, Jacks or Better Double Up, All American Double Up and Joker Wild Double Up - to choose from, as well as a small selection of speciality titles like Tribble, Keno and The Lost Pyramid. All in all, this makes it a pretty varied line-up that should appeal to most casino players.

Saddle Up, Roll Out

Given the great John Wayne certainly wasn't a man who stayed in any one place for long, it should come as no surprise that the casino bearing his name is also readily available to players who prefer gaming on the go. Indeed, all titles on the site are download-free and ready for instant play - meaning visitors only need sign-in to the site to play them in their browser - and a wide selection of them are also available on most HTML5-enabled smartphone or tablet devices. Naturally, these games have all been optimised for touch-screen technology, giving players enhanced functionality.

Cracking the Safe

At Wayne Casino, the list of supported payment processing options is so mind-bogglingly extensive that it would require a separate article to list them all. Somewhat unusually, this is true of both deposit and withdrawal methods alike, so whatever your standard banking option for online casino play, the chances are you'll be able to use it at Wayne Casino. Some of the more popular options on the site include Visa, Diners Club, Laser, Skrill, Neteller and direct bank transfer, with eWallets generally crediting within an hour and card methods taking up to a maximum of four working days.

Quick on the Draw

The bonuses offered at Wayne Casino are incredibly straightforward and allow players to benefit in three main areas - namely a first deposit match, a free spins offer and an ongoing reload bonus.

The first of these offers players a 100% match up to €200 on their first real money deposit on the site, while the second automatically awards them an additional 50 free spins on NetEnt's Starburst slot when they load up their account.

After that, all players can take advantage of 30% extra on any deposit they make each week for the duration of their stay at the site using a handy reload bonus.

Support Fires Blanks

Unfortunately, for all the good at Wayne Casino, there is also the bad and the ugly - and that comes in the form of the site's customer support offering. Indeed, although the casino includes a live help facility, this service is only available between the hours of 08:00 and 16:00 CET, making it entirely unhelpful for players who work during the day and unwind on the site in the evening.

Outside of these times, customers will have no option other than to leave a message for customer support via online contact form, with replies usually being issued by email no later than the next working day.

True Grit

Overall, we were fairly impressed with Wayne Casino for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the site genuinely doesn't look like any other online casino in the industry, and its striking and original theme should instantly attract players who enjoy a bit of visual flair with their gaming.

Complementing that, the casino is also incredibly easy to navigate and features a good range of video slot titles as well as one of the most extensive live casino suites you'll find anywhere online.

The payment processing options are similarly impressive and the three-pronged bonus scheme is simple and effective, meaning the only real area that the site doesn't do itself justice in is customer support. Where they to fix this issue by making live help available 24/7, you really would be talking about a real powerhouse of an online casino, but as it stands, it is a very limited offering that really isn't of much use to anyone who doesn't spend their entire working day playing at online casinos.
