Empire777 Casino is an Asian online gambling site available in the Vietnamese, Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Thai languages. Players in several other countries are welcome as well.

The site is licensed in Curacao under the operating company, Nugget Projects Inc., and displays the PAGCOR logo for players outside of the Philippines. The Curacao license (GLH-OCCHKTW0710252017) was granted under Gaming Curacao 365/JAZ and covers several URL iterations including Empire 777 VIP, 668dg, and for specific countries such as empire777vn.

Look for a live dealer suite, VIP games, and well over 1,000 slots, and random number digital table games and cards.

Content suppliers include SA Gaming, Asia Gaming, Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, N2Live mobile, Vivo, Ezugi, and Ho Gaming in the live suite and dozens of random number generated game creators from Genesis and Push to Microgaming, Yggdrasil, and Thunderkick to name a few.

Banking and customer service is provided for players in all of their major markets with special solutions such as Venus Point for players who might otherwise have difficulty with casino banking. 

Upon review, the bonus scheme was quite generous with a 100% welcome offer featuring low wagering requirements. Please see above for up-to-date offers for players in your region or visit for up-to-the-minute information.

Trusted advocate sites like LCB.org have provided a forum for player dispute resolution and other direct casino support since mid-2018 with no complaints or questions over 3 years.

While doing deep research on the site several months ago we found one seemingly valid complaint elsewhere related to one of their game providers, but Evolution Gaming has not addressed it in public and other players have not had the same experience if it indeed did occur.

Looking over several Asian-speaking forums as well as searching for any complaints registered with Philippines regulators we come up empty, even though they have been in operation since 2014.

All of the above indicates a solid operation that respects its customers’ rights and responsibilities, but most importantly would seem to believe in the sacred gambling contract that simply states that a bet laid is a bet paid - according to the terms of the contract.

The site has an excellent reputation, but we’d be remiss in our duties if we didn’t explore several things deeper including the game selection, bonus offers as well as terms and conditions, payment methods, and banking terms, and try to find any pitfalls players should look out for so they don’t make any innocent mistakes with a bonus and end up disappointed. We’ll wrap it all up with a conclusion reporting most of the important elements we identify along the way.

It is fairly rare for this reviewer to say, but we do know enough already to suggest highly seasoned players can simply visit the site now and find the terms they normally look for. All readers are invited to explore the site with us for a complete in-depth and unbiased overview.

Software and Games

Wow! There’s a good reason this venue is known as the best online casino in Malaysia - but they also cater to players in China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan. The live dealer studio is broken down into special suites including Casinos -

• Paris
• Manila
• Shanghai
• Macau
• Jeju
• London
• Beijing
• Reno
• Vegas
• Singapore
• Barcelona

Before you enter one of the gaming zones you will see which tables are on offer. Look for blackjack, roulette, Hold 'em, baccarat, Sic Bo, Fan Tan, and  Dragon Tiger for starters. After you enter a suite you can find table limits and other games to meet your desires.

Players from India or those who are familiar with games like Andar Bahar or Teen Patti will find those games in the RNG library of table games as well along with the simple and fun dice game, Barbut that is popular in Indonesia. Sic Bo is found in the live library, including games with side bets that can pay 1000x. You’ll also find a lot of fun Sic Bo variants in the RNG table game section.

Finding your way around  the games

Whichever section you decide to explore first, you’ll have options to refine your choices.

Filters in the table games section include A-Z, All, New, Hot, Promoted, and Jackpots.

The slots section is set up more like the live dealer with game rooms following Popular and New games. We’ll explore the different rooms a little bit more in a moment.

Table games

Unfortunately, most of the filters returned blank results when we explored the table games before logging in. There were no jackpot games listed, no promoted games, and no new games. We found two titles under the “hot” tab; Blackjack Xchange and Baccarat Pro.

In the A-Z and All categories, we did find some games that were available for fun play. Not all of the games presented a splash screen informing us who the provider was.  After a few clicks, we found Wazdan’s Sic Bo Dragons. At first glance, it doesn’t seem to be a true-odds dice game since the RTP (theoretical return to player percentage) is 96.15% and the max win is 1240x bet.

Online game providers can set the odds to anything they want to, but the usual RTP for this game online is around 92% overall.

Let’s take a closer look…

Okay, this might explain it!

Rather than popping three dice, the Dragons version uses 3+1, a bonus die. That cube is green and only comes into play if you stake an optional bet on a fourth specific triple (pays 205:1 or 1240x total stake) or any triple with four dice - which pays 35:1 or 205 total stake on triples.

The help files and paytable are not helpful but you can play for as little as 0.10 and the board odds are not terrible. Just keep in mind that the green bonus cube does not apply to other game bets, but only for Triples and only if you stake that miracle of miracles bet on the fourth dice.

Enjoying dice games for a moment, I decided to try Barbut. Oryx makes this version and it’s a very simple game. Some would compare it to craps, but if it has an analog it is probably more akin to baccarat simply because it is so simple to play - almost like flipping a coin, but slightly different.

This game comes from the Middle East. Simply place a bet on Shooter (red), Fader (yellow) or both. Many rolls are meaningless and the dice must be thrown again. If they come up 3,3 - 5,5 - 6,6 or 5,6 shooter wins. 6/6 pays 50% of your bet and every other hit pays even money. Fader works the same way but with different numbers. Landing 2,2 - 4,4, and 1,2 pay even money while 1,1 pays 1:2. The house edge is 5% on either bet giving players an RTP of 95%

Look for baccarat, dragon tiger, blackjack, hold 'em, roulette, craps, and a few money wheel games along with Jacks or Better video poker in this section.

You’ll also find a few games from Evolution’s First Person series in this section. These are high-quality 3D animated versions of table games that feature the same rules as their live-streaming counterparts. Start here if you want to hone a strategy or practice playing with specific rules for real money and when you are ready to play live, simply click GO LIVE to be able to enter a live version of the same game.

Slots

Your casino hosts have arranged a variety of game rooms for slot players along with one full of specialty games like virtual sports and racing, lottery, and other games. Let’s take a look at them one at a time.

Sake Room

Enter here to find games from Play’n GO. You can always sort alphabetically ascending or descending, and some of the other game filters work in these sections as well. Enjoy the sake with game titles like Candy Island Princess, Fire Toad, 24K Dragon, Temple of Wealth, and Octopus Treasure.

To see more games, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click for more games.

Gin Room

The quiet sophistication of Yggdrasil Gaming fills the space here with intensely vivid artwork, room-filling soundscapes, and math models to please everyone from the most cautious bettor to the most adventurous.

Wild West-themed games with nearly unlimited paylines like Big Bucks Bandits Megaways are found alongside Nordic god-themed titles like Odin Infinity Reels - Asian myth themes like Royal Dragon (infinity reels) and goofy games like Easter Island 2 are all found in the gin room.

Whisky Room

Three fingers of single malt scotch are waiting in the Pragmatic Play Whisky Room. Click on the tab for promoted games when you enter the room to find all of the activated Daily Wins titles in one place. When we followed the peaty aroma into this den the games that were activated for guaranteed daily prizes included Caishen’s Cash, Golden Pig, Wolf Gold, and Sweet Bonanza. 

You are most likely to find a different selection on the day you visit as the operators change up the offer often to keep it fresh and exciting. All you have to do to be eligible for enhanced wins is to play the games with the Daily Wins labels.

Wine Room

Gameplay Interactive is your digital host and provider of games in this section. Yes, the live casino game provider with offices in Macau does also offer slots! Our only disappointment in finding them here is that none of their Alpha Jackpot games were part of the inventory.

The studio produces interesting games with unique artistry. Even the most simply rendered graphics are still visually appealing and some of the theme depictions are commercial works of art. Some of the themes are almost salacious while others like Chess Royale are simply fun!

One of my favorites is Fortune Dragon. You can try it for free on the developer's website.

Gameplay Interactive is found on nearly all of the top online gaming sites for Asian players.

Let’s explore more of the mansion with visits to rooms named for Vodka, Soju, Tequila, Rum, and Cocktails, and Beer as a group, shall we?

The Vodka Room is stocked by Genesis Gaming - one of my all-time favorite game makers. The themes are always interesting, most of the maths are vicious and generous when they break loose, and most have relatively high RTP.

Look for titles like Dragon’s Scroll, Lion’s Fortune, Single day, Lust & Fortune, Sup[er Wilds, and Fortune Turtle among many others.

Thunderkick and Red Tiger tend to the Soju Room with comestibles such as The Wise Cracker Lightning, Mystic Staxx, Reptizillions Power Reels, Dragon’s Fire, Clash of the Beasts, and Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches.

Tequila is served by iSoftBet; Rum cups are filled by the phenomenal Spinomenal and Betsoft brings you 3D cinematic video bonus slots in the Cocktail Room.

Games in the Beer Room are usually not allowed for bonus play, but be sure to check the terms of each individual offer for exceptions.

Pachinko, Slingo, scratch cards, fishing games, and Spribe’s high RTP turbo games are all found in this room. Open any Spribe game to get access to fast and furious on the go betting with titles like Dice, Plinko, Goal, HiLo, Mines, Keno, and Roulette.

Bonuses and Promotions

We found 8 current offers when we visited the promotions lobby here including free spins with unlimited winnings.

We’ll take a look at the welcome offer first. Please keep in mind these can change over time but you can always find the most recent offer along with basic terms at the top of this page.

You’ll need to make a minimum deposit and claim the 100% match within 24 hours of depositing. It can take up to 6 hours for the bonus to appear in your account which will only occur after a representative has reached you on the phone at your registered number.

It’s not allowed to mix game types while wagering requirements are in effect. Choose either slots or live/table games - each has its own wagering requirement and game weighting. The differentials might seem confusing at first glance but it really just boils down to 30x bonus plus the deposit amount for slots and 60x+b plus the deposit amount for other games.

Another way to state wagering requirements for more clarity is to say that you must wager through the value of your deposit once and then turn the bonus amount over 30 times.

Other current offers include a free spins bonus awarded after a deposit with all winnings from the free spins placed in your account as cash with no further wagering requirements beyond the value of the deposit and the value of initial spin winnings. Play your spins before betting with deposited funds because wagering is not counted until free spins have been completed. There is no max cashout limit on this bonus.

Lucky Money Symbol bonuses: Simply make a qualifying deposit and play the games offered for the bonus. If a pocket money symbol appears in the middle of the game take a screenshot and send it to customer service to claim your award. These awards have a 1x wagering requirement including jackpots (mini, minor, major, grand, mega). You’ll need to cash out when you reach a goal as the money will not be carried over to another day in your account.

Rebate bonuses are awarded on Wednesdays with a 1x rollover requirement. Be sure to cash out before the next awards as the funds are not carried over week-to-week.

Reload bonuses are offered with wagering similar to the welcome bonus.

All players are eligible for a weekly rebate based on promotion rules as VIP tier status.

Other bonuses including on your birthday as well as small unlimited matches on every deposit are also offered in the promotions parlor.

The terms and conditions for all bonuses are straightforward and uncomplicated. The only thing players need to do is choose which type of games they want a bonus for and meet the wagering in order to cash out.

Banking and Customer Service

In order to determine which payment methods are available to you, it’s necessary to visit the cashier or payments page and select a currency and then which sort of transaction (deposit or withdrawal).

Choosing MYR we found internet banking and eWallets for deposits and withdrawals. Players in Thailand have more options in their currency. However, Japan, Vietnam, and others using USD currency have the best range of choices including Vega Wallet (Venus Point). Players in China have the least number of options using RMB/CNY as they are currently limited to ecoPayz transactions in either direction.

If you plan to change your currency to USD in the future, you won’t be able to do that without assistance from the cashier. We suggest simply choosing the currency you plan to use at the casino and keeping to that choice. The decision may be down to exchange fees versus methods including the multiple options.

Once your documents are approved, cashouts usually occur within 4 hours. The maximum withdrawal allowed per transaction is $5,000 and the minimum is $50. Be sure to check the cashier for any specific fees that may apply to your chosen payment methods or region of play. VPN usage is not allowed.

Customer care

Representatives are available around the clock on live chat. This is a well-trafficked highly popular gaming site, so it’s never set to “auto-pilot” overnight or on weekends or holidays. If you prefer, an email address is also provided.

Customer service provides tools for responsible gambling including limits and cooling-off periods. The site operates in accordance with policies suggested by the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4).

Pitfalls

• VIP Pass is granted by invitation only
• Only one VIP level can be achieved in any 30-day period
• Must maintain turnover requirements month to month to maintain VIP level
• Some payment methods may come with processing fees

The Final Word

Empire777 invites players from all over Asia and beyond to join and belong to one of the best online casinos in the east. The site has an excellent reputation and abides by the sacred gambling contract - “A bet laid is a bet paid”.

The game selection is wide and deep featuring every type of game and multiple variations of each of the most popular ones. We like the way the live dealer suite is arranged into individual casinos, giving a sense of home and belonging on subsequent visits. That same theme is repeated in the slots realm with special gaming rooms reserved for the various providers.

While there are well over 1,000 game choices, the selection seems to be very well curated and fine-tuned to their target markets with just the right mix of Asia-centric titles and timeless western themes.

Banking options and payment methods are well enough rounded for players in most countries and they accept local currencies for many. USD currency may be the best alternative for some, as there are more banking methods available to users of that currency - even Chinese players can deposit and withdraw using ecoPayz. Please contact customer service for any special instructions if you live in a highly regulated area.

Bonuses are plentiful and the terms are generous. The same bonus offer can be used for either slots or casino games, but you must pick one and stay with it until wagering is completed. Most online game sites won’t even allow live dealer play with a bonus, Empire777 does, and the wagering requirements are very liberal.

Not much information is given about the invitation-only VIP scheme, but we can tell you that it will take about $117,000 (or currency equivalent) in turnover per month to activate the silver-level perks. While you can increase only one level per month, if you don’t maintain wagering volume in any given month you can be busted back a level or removed from the program altogether. The good news is that the perks are significant for loyal players who maintain their levels.

We’d prefer to see a user-driven responsible gambling dashboard with simple limit setting, temporary breaks, and other tools but suppose it is enough that all of the needed tools are offered to those who ask for them.

All in all, this is a very good place to play, seems to be extremely well-funded with a high volume of financial turnover (many customers) each month, and a reputation for fair play.
