- Graphics and Sound - |
Aztec Riches say that they have a "realistic 3D gameplay and Indiana Jones style jungle themes". I wouldn't be so optimistic ;) Graphics is nice but a kind of flat... Just look at these angular chips. Some games look good some just ugly.
Sound: Sound in Aztec Riches is very good. Ambient jungle sounds, game music and dealer commentary. Music unlike in many other online casinos is not annoying.

Special features
- |
- Casino Action - Aztec Riches has a program called "Casino Action" which provides players with competitions and prizes. You can claim your own bonuses!
- Bonus Accounts - your bonus account is a special wagering account that works just the same as your normal wagering account, but with a few subtle differences. It allows you to play the games offered by the casino with bonus and promotional credits. You play at the casino as you have always done. There is no need to claim the bonus. In the past the bonus would have been deposited into your real account, now the bonus is credited automatically into your Bonus Account. T he Bonus will be credited to your bonus account within 2 hours.If you have made a deposit, then that deposit is credited to your real account as normal. Wager your bonuses in your Bonus Account, meet any wagering conditions that may apply, and then transfer your winnings to your real Account. (see details in my promotions review)

- Impression and Decision - |
Great feel of ancient aztec city even with not the best graphics. Though sound is great! It would be an ordinary casino without such amassing sound. Dealer's speech seems to be a little bit shrill but still good. Someone likes VIPER software someone hates it. I'm tending to like this software. Maybe it is not so effective as others but much more comfortable.
And of course this is the best software if you are going to play with some strategy. You can program the software with your strategy and then switch casino to "autoplay mode". This is very interesting but questionable option. Once they let you to use your strategy and next they will be ready to it. Maybe it is only my morbid imagination but I'll be keeping away from this feature. Moreover is it really cool to click once a button an then go for a walk for instance? I don't think so. I like to play in casino but not to earn money. Though I like to win money ;) But nevertheless it is really new and unique feature.
I'd like to draw your attention to analyze feature in some games. I found it very useful. See screenshot.
Advantages:
- new autoplay and strategy features
- fast support
- feel
- good sound
- low bet limits
- a lot of games
Disadvantages:
- graphics
-
some players don't like their bonus accounts system (see my promotions review for details)

Quite reputable online casino with unusual bonus system (see details). Many games with not the best graphics and amazing sound. I think this casino is worth to stay there for several evenings. Oh, I almost forgot to mention about flash version of the casino. Basically this is an ordinary flash casino from Microgaming. Graphics there sometimes even better than in download version ;)
Graphics: 60%
Sound: 90%
Usability: 85%
Average: 78% |

Good or Bad? eg Fair Game or not? easy cash-in or not?
...
odds like other MG (fair or not depends on your belief)
hard to cash-in
brainless support team
...
I lost some money on the sign up deal from gold reef. They did pay me quickly without any documents.
I am not sure about the others.
I thought music halla and challenge are both under new management. Is this group their new home?
...
My streak at this place:
Goldenreef:deposit 100, cashout 700$.
Musichall:deposit 500, cash out 1800$
Aztechriches:deposit 500, cash out 8500$ (royal flush).
Challenge:deposit 500, lost it all.
Seemed really fair to me .
And they do require id pic and utilybill in all of their casinos to process a cashin.

This casino will intentially mislead you into making a deposit for a small bonus and then apply the NEW wagering requirements to PRIOR bonus deals cashed out previously. This generates a very large wagering requirment such that your chances of getting your deposit back is pretty little.
With me, I had played both with a bonus and without bonuses in the past. But I had done pretty well with a new player bonus. Then I got by email an invitation for a 25/25 bonus. The wagering requirements had changed for blackjack play from 10 times the bonus and deposit to 20 times the bonus and deposit. Imagine my surprise when I tried to cash out the most recent deposit only to find they had applied this NEW REQUIREMENT to all prior play and I had thousands of dollars of play still to do.
Players should approach this casino with caution as this is an obvious trap. My question is what should I do?
Should I discuss this with Micro Gaming? I see their is an Online Player Association - should I contact them? Currently, I am resigned to just suck it up and play it out but I know this is really unfair and I also know that I will most likely bust out before meeting this carryover amount. It is no different than saying Blackjacks will only pay even money. Wait for a player to re-deposit and then take the deposit. It is the same thing.
Thank you,
WDP

...
it always makes me tingle inside when i see a casino willing to admit that they made a mistake, and then fixing it! Hazza to Golden Reef!!
...
Good on you Aztec Riches and Golden Reef - no shame in admitting you were wrong as long as you rectify the mistake.
...
Yea! I am happy also. You got this one exactly right KX.
Thanks to Spear for bringing this to their attention and for Aztec managment who fixed it once they knew. Really, everyone here has been helpful and supportive.
Great board. Great people.
