Captain Cook's Casino Review

Captain Cooks Casino is one of the older casinos in the Casino Rewards stable, being in operation since 1999. In 2001 Casino Player Magazine nominated it as the best casino in seven categories including The Best Casino Software, The Best Online Casino Theme and The Best Payout Program. The casino is also famous for being the first to have a million dollar jackpot in online gaming. The game was the progressive slot, Major Millions. I like the classic appeal of the lobby. The casino captures the reputation and spirit of adventure that Captain Cooks embodied.

In a sense both Microgaming and Captain Cooks Casino have enhanced each other’s reputation. The casino uses the Viper software from Microgaming, which has enhanced the level of gaming at the casino through its sharp graphics, quick game speeds and several innovative features. At the same time the fact that Captain Cooks Casino has chosen Microgaming ahead of its competitors is a pat on the back for the gaming software company.

What I like best about the over 200 games at Captains Cooks Casino is that it includes the perfect mix of traditional blockbusters and innovative new games. Blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, video poker and slots are all their in their traditional avatars but there are versions in which innovations have been introduced to spice up the games. I suggest that players check out the European roulette Gold. This game has two new exciting bets known as Neighbor bets and Call bets. I feel that a visit to Captain Cooks Casino is incomplete without having a go at the progressive jackpots. The old favorite Major Millions is still going strong. There are three different formats of Major Millions being played at the casino. One is the original three reel, three payline game. The Major Millions symbol is a wild symbol and also multiplies the payout. Another format has five reels and fifteen paylines and a scatter symbol as well. The mega spin version allows players to player several three reel Major Millions games simultaneously.

Captain Cooks Casino offers new players a one-time offer in which they are given $500 of the casino’s money to play for one hour. At the end of the hour the players keep all winnings. If players lose the money given by the casino then they can fall back on the normal sign up bonus. Where I think this offer scores over other similar offers is that the players are not restricted to any one game but the players are encouraged to play a spread of games.

Captain Cooks Casino offers all usual banking methods, which is good but I look for more than that. I find that the casino has one of the fastest payouts in the industry. Every month the casino posts reports from the independent e-COGRA. The reports indicate that the games are fair, the casino behaves responsibly and that the players’ funds are safe. In my opinion players should check out the payouts reported in these certificates.

Captain Cooks Casino has a fantastic customer support. I suggest that players first try out the FAQs section and failing to find a solution there they try the live chat. If for some unlikely reason they are unable to connect to live chat they always have the telephone and e-mail options.
