Crazy Fortune Casino (CFC) came online in September 2017 with a bold, fun, and modern Asia-centric look of red and gold. A golden dragon, one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, is their mascot. Interestingly, the Chinese zodiac is also divided into 5 elements, one of which is metal - the combination of the two is said to represent not only the very best in good fortune but also illustrates extreme possibility and polarity.

The website, which offers nearly 400 games for instant play, is operated by Flavidus Limited of Cyprus. A fully owned subsidiary, MYEG BV holds the company's license which is issued in Curacao. The property is said to be founded by a group of gaming enthusiasts whose mission is to offer the best-loved games from multiple providers in one place. They want players to feel safe and secure with the simple and user-friendly interface and promise a personal approach.

While players from the US and a few CIS countries will not be able to access the website for real money play, people from Germany, the Scandinavian and Nordic regions and Canada, as well as Spain and most other European countries are welcomed there.

CFC is associated or affiliated with VIP Room, not to be confused with the Cleo's VIP Room so-called "sweepstakes" gambling site. However, CFC does offer some games from Oryx, which are found at Cleo's. You'll also find slots from Netent, Microgaming, and Brazilian developer RCT Gaming depending upon your location. NetEnt games are not available on the open market in Canada, so if you access the casino from the Land of the Maple Leaf you simply won't see those games on offer. You will see RNG games from BetSoft and live dealer games from Evolution Gaming and Ezugi studios

Software and Games

Keeping with the theme of melding fun, ease of use, and modernity with an Asian theme that runs throughout, the website is laid out with the user in mind. All tabs are readily displayed and all navigation paths are intuitive and well thought out. It's also very easy to find a particular game or all games from a certain provider using the search and filtering facilities. As reviewed, CFC is offering 380 gambling games provided by Betsoft, Evolution, Ezugi, GameART, HollywoodTV, iSoftBet, Kiron, Microgaming, NetEnt, OneTouch, Oryx, Pragmatic Play, Quickspin, RCT Gaming, and Xplosive Gaming - again these may not all appear depending on your location.

All games are available for instant play on desktop, tablet, or mobile and there is a lot of variety in the offering! Accessing from Canada, there's about a 50/50 mix of iSoftBet and BetSoft jackpot slots along with European Progressive Roulette and a few progressive video poker games. Others are likely to see NetEnt and Microgaming progressives like Mega Moolah as well.

There are more than 40 video poker titles from straight-up Jacks or Better to multi-hand Joker Poker. Most of that number comes from multi-hand varieties rather than unique titles or pay tables though. The iSoftBet JoB has a 6/5 pay table. But don't let that fool you - a Royal Flush with all 5 coins bet only pays 3,000 or 600:1 rather than the customary 800:1 usually seen. iSoftBet is notorious for making terrible video poker games. They appear to be a last minute afterthought the developer added before they became such a prolific slot provider.

Bonuses and Promotions

The site seems to be very proactive in providing bonus opportunities to the players. Depositors always have a choice on whether or not to accept a promotion, especially helpful for those who don't like to be tied down to wagering requirements. It's a good thing too.
While terms can and do change over time, upon review, the bonus scheme was not very player-friendly for people who like to cash out large sums. According to the terms and conditions, all deposit and reload bonuses are limited to a max cashout of 10x deposit. That's fine if you like to pay to play for fun or have done enough math to determine you'll win at least once in every 10 deposits. Most gamblers don't play to break even.

They do seem to offer depositors a lot of no deposit bonuses and free chips to try new games, but of course, winnings from those are capped as well.

Banking

Players can get in and gamble with very low deposit minimums and the cash out threshold is low too, according to the banking page. Players need to skip what it says there and look under withdrawals in the general T&C for minimum and maximum withdrawals though.

Pitfalls

Many new casinos launch before every little quirk is worked out, especially when it comes to bonus and banking terms. We'd suggest going with the general terms and conditions and getting any questions you ask answered in writing with any new casino - or whenever there is a question. This, especially when there is conflicting information presented on different pages as is the case here with large differences in the amounts for wire transfers. They also have what we would consider a predatory term, whether they would ever carry it out or not is beside the point: "Should a player attempt to withdraw before wagering has been completed, the bonus and any potential winnings derived from the bonus will be forfeited." As long as you are aware of and never breach that term you should be fine.

The Final Word

Crazy Fortune Casino is a fun, well organized, and aesthetically pleasing site with a great variety of games. The staff seems engaged and passionate about offering guests a safe and secure environment in which to play. Members receive a lot of promos. eWallet transactions are stated as instant, but as of review time, we didn't notice any Bitcoin option. The licensing jurisdiction is weak so, like with a lot of other sites it comes down to a matter of trust.

Their sister-site VIP Room currently has unresolved complaints on at least one major player advocate site, but many of them remain unresolved because the players have not done their duty and returned to answer, while other disputes are fairly new. One of them is only 11 days old but involves a considerable sum of money and the casino has not responded. As always, it's good to look for up to the minute information on new operations. The little kinks can be ironed out at any time and it could be all system "go".
