GamingCity Casino is an online gaming site with slots, table games, live dealers, and a link to sportsbetting found on the help pages. Most of the games are slots and providers include Rival, Betsoft, and Dragon Gaming among others. Blackjack is the most prolific table game with at least a dozen variants and providers but there are plenty of other RNG table games as well.

This crypto-friendly gaming site accepts players from the United Arab Emirates and several other regions but not the USA.

We don’t find a license of ownership information on the website but there is enough information otherwise to give you a good, in-depth review of the operation. There are no known sister sites but a link is provided to BetOnline for those who want to bet on sports, poker, and other games. It's entirely possible that there is no business relationship between the two sites beyond a link exchange for VIPs or a "refer a friend" reward.

The site appears to have launched in late 2021 or early 2022. With that much time behind the operation, we would expect to see some complaints or even general “chatter” about the site, but we don’t find any gripes, groans, or moans from players or anyone else. Unfortunately, we can’t tie the operators directly to BetOnline or examine anything about the site’s license as there isn’t any transparency. That’s understandable considering some of the regions they serve and the draconian gambling laws found in some places.

With that, we’ll need to restrict the review to the elements we can know and take a dive into terms and conditions to make sure all is right and well. A lot can be learned from reading the terms - if they seem too good to be true they are probably not real and are not followed by the operator. On the other hand, if they are quite strict, that can be an indication that the operator is limiting their exposure to bonus hunters or the occasional super-lucky player.

It’s no guarantee, but strict terms can be a good sign if they simply enforce them and don’t go out of their way to come up with ‘spirit of the bonus" mumbo jumbo or try to read disqualifications into the spaces between the lines.

So let’s dig in and see what sets GamingCity apart from other online gambling sites!

Software and Games

The site layout is easy to read and easy to use. While we don’t find filtering or sorting facilities, the games are all separated into “game type” categories. The headings include…

• Slots 
• Blackjack
• Table Games
• Live Casino
• Video Poker
• Specialty Games

You’ll also find a text box to search for game titles.

One nice feature for those who like to choose games by knowing the provider is the fact that most of the slot icons have a small logo emblazoned on them. Betsoft and Dragon Gaming logos are instantly recognizable but you may need to click into a Nucleus, Flipluck, PureRNG, or some of the unlabeled titles to look for the splash screen.

You’ll also notice that each game category and subcategory has a game count number. We currently find 365 slots - that’s a good selection and maybe more than many people will ever get around to playing. The only category without a game count is live dealers. However, there are two separate suites - one called “Red” and the other called “Black”. These are provided by LuckyStreak and Visionary iGaming (ViG) when you look a little closer.

GamingCity slots

Looking deeper into the selection we found a few jackpot slots. Some were instantly familiar and others were only identifiable as progressive jackpot games because the jackpot amount is listed on them in the lobby. We found Hollywood Reels by Parlay and a few games we weren’t sure who the developer was. Some look like Aristocrat or other tier-one supplier titles so it’s hard to say for sure.

Some of the Betsoft jackpot titles like Dragon Kings were knocking on the $100,000 door.

Click on any slot to see more details and a Play Now button. A smaller screen will pop up with the game art and some information about the game.

Safari Spins
5 Reels 1024 Ways
Volatility 3/3

A delightful trip to the African savanna in an all-ways-pays video slot!

FlipLuck games

FlipLuck is a “stealth studio” founded in 2019. A team of about 15 accomplished artists and technicians puts out brilliant content from the Studio in Bucharest. The company also has offices in Spain and Flipluck has created over 200 games for real money and casual casino play.

The themes run the gamut from humorous to nearly macabre with a variety of math models and volatility to please almost any player. Look for slots, scratch cards, and table games from this rising star.

After signing a distribution deal with EveryMatrix, FlipLuck began developing some of the newer games through Spearhead Studios - one of the EveryMatrix in-house development labs.

Spearhead Studios is staffed by leaders from the former GiG Games, a short-lived venture of the Gaming Innovation Group that was spun off with all that talent when the Stockholm-based company revamped its business model. Look for great things from this studio and you can play the games here now.

Look for at least at two big keno games, over a dozen scratch cards - one with a 100,000x jackpot, and a small handful of specialty games including a space shooter with 2000x payouts.

Flipluck games may be known as PureRNG in some markets.

Betsoft games

A few of the table games here are provided by Betsoft, such as Pai Gow, Caribbean, Oasis, and Triple Edge Pokers. Flipluck fills out most of the suite with Dragon Gaming picking up the slack.

Betsoft slots are known the world over for 3D graphics and entertaining engagement of players. Some of the Eastern-themed games released in the last year or two have great bonus rounds and the potential for payouts. This also happens to be one of the very few online gambling venues that even attempts to classify Betsoft slots by volatility levels - a handy thing to know for bankroll management, session management, and bonus wagering requirements.

Games with one lightning bolt are the lowest-risk games so you can turn your money over more times. While most wins will be lower, the top prizes can still be won now and then.

Live dealer games

Visionary iGaming is based in the Americas and LuckyStreak has stand-alone and in-casino studios in Lithuania and Latvia. Both providers have been on the scene for quite some time with ViG launched back in 2008 and LuckyStreak beginning to stream games to the world in 2014.

Both providers are found at several Arab language-world-facing online gaming sites and table limits are often adjusted for players who prefer bigger games. All players can enjoy live dealer games for a variety of stakes and the game selection is broad enough to please everyone.

All games are optimized for mobile or desktop play. Look for ViG to offer Live Blackjack, Live European Roulette, Live American Roulette, Live Baccarat, and Live Super 6 while LuckyStreak covers the spectrum and player-to-player socialization is built into the software.

LuckyStreak offers BlackJack, Baccarat, Roulette, Auto Roulette, and Dual Roulette - a solution that lets you play side by side with players seated in a land-based casino.

RNG Blackjack

For the times you want to practice a strategy for low stakes or higher stakes, completely control the cadence of your game, or simply enjoy some random number-generated blackjack results in the hope of a winning streak - GamingCity has a dozen digital animated tables for you to play on.

Look for a great selection of blackjack variants from four different providers including Betsoft and Dragon Gaming.

• Multi Hand Blackjack 
• Single Deck Blackjack
• Blackjack 11
• Ultra One-Hand Blackjack
• Blackjack Tournament
• Blackjack
• 5 Handed American Blackjack
• American Blackjack
• Single Deck BJ
• Pirate 21
• Super 7 Blackjack

RNG Table games

This is the section you will visit to find the most variety of casino floor games played on an animated digital table with the results coming from the certified Random Number Generator (RNG).

In addition to a dozen blackjack titles, you’ll also find roulette, house-banked table poker, and a variety of specialty games such as Hi-Los, Three Card Rummy, War, baccarat, and Casino Solitaire. All of the specialty games have their own odds, risk factors, and well-illustrated pay tables and instructions.

Look for American Roulette and European Roulette from at least four providers as well as a high-stakes game of Platinum Chip Roulette and a game of Double Ball American Roulette.

Aside from using the search text box, this section is the only place to look in order to find RNG Craps. Bet limits range from $1 to $1,000 for the Craps game here.

While we don’t find any Dragon Gaming poker variants here yet, there are still plenty of options with 10 different games to choose from.

• Let It Ride 
• Tri Card Poker
• Texas Holdem
• 6 Up Pocket Poker
• Bonus Texas Hold'em
• Big Rollover Holdem
• Caribbean Poker
• Oasis Poker
• Triple Edge Poker
• Pai Gow

Video poker games

The video poker catalog here is not heavily populated but it does hold some of the most popular games. Look for single-hand video poker in the following variations: Jacks or Better (x2), Deuces Wild, and Deuces Wild Gamble.

Specialty games

We find four keno variants here and two of them have progressive jackpots. When you play a progressive keno game, or any other game with odds, best bets, and the house edge easily determined, it’s a good idea to run the paytable through a keno or other game calculator just so you know how much of your bet is going toward growing the jackpot instead of to RTP for your favorite way to bet. 

Keno games are a lot like the lottery - the odds can be long and the payouts can be tremendous and worthy of bragging rights. However, many players aren’t aware that the overall odds of winning can be far less important than the RTP or house edge for any certain bet. A four-number pick might offer far different volatility and odds than an 8-number pick. The only way to know how much you are risking for your potential reward is to calculate the odds for each bet. This will also help you see the overall RTP of the game.

You’ll find 14 scratch cards in this section with various bet limits, odds, and jackpot prizes. Some of the themes will be familiar if you have been looking over the slots as some have the same game themes but far different RTP and maths. Piggy Bank Scratch has a top payout of 12,600x bet while Journey of Ra Scratchcard offers “Big RTP and Big Prizes”.

Bonuses and Promotions

Players will find a variety of bonuses, deposit incentives, and rewards beginning with a welcome bonus. Please be sure to check the top of this page for current offers and basic terms. More details can be found y visiting the site.

When we visited we found the following types of offers.

• Welcome Bonus 
• Crypto Deposit Bonus
• $250 Weekly Rebate
• Monday Funday Vip Reload
• Midweek Reload Bonus
• Weekend Warrior Reload
• Refer A Friend

That should be enough to keep bonus players happy with extra wagers, stakes, and spins.

Each offer will have a link to more information and that is where you’ll find most of the terms and conditions. We aren’t able to find the normal legalese, 15-page terms and conditions on this site and the “Rules” page states that it comprises the agreement.

Fortunately, each individual bonus offer illustrates the maximum bonus, the longevity of the offer, wagering requirements, allowed games, the maximum amount that can be cashed out, and a link to a Bonus Contribution page so you know game weightings. Most games contribute toward completing wagering requirements but some games are not allowed at all such as Craps, Live Casino, Ride’m Poker, and all games with Progressive Jackpots.

The most intense or in-depth T&Cs are simply a 10-point “contract” of basic legal terms found almost everywhere. The Gaming City Rules page holds only 14 rules so there’s really no reason not to read it and familiarize yourself with all-important terms like the following:

9. The maximum amount a player may win on table games is limited to $250,000 in any 24 hour period, and $1,000,000 in any given 7 day period. Slot machine Jackpot winnings in a 24 hour period are limited to $1,000,000.

10. Management reserves the right to cancel any bet. Management reserves the right to change games or stakes at any time. Errors in operation, errors in the game void all payouts and plays.

While bonus offers can and sometimes do change over the course of time - this package seems to cover players throughout the week with the Monday Funday Vip Reload: Midweek Reload Bonus, and Weekend Warrior Reload - not to mention rebates, enhanced bonuses for crypto deposits, and more.

Banking and Customer Service

The cashier accepts relatively low minimum deposits and processes relatively high maximum payouts per transaction. Most deposits are instant but crypto deposits could take a couple of minutes depending on blockchain network congestion. You can find all of the current payment methods on the drop-down menu on this page. VIP players may have options we don’t list here. As always, please talk to your host if you are a rated player.

Processing times are as you would expect and the time constraints are mostly due to processes outside of the operator's control. We find that cryptocurrencies are to be paid out within 48 hours, while a check by Courier should reach you within 7 business days. Bank wire transfer should be available within 15 business days

Customer care

Live chat is available 24/7 and an email link is provided. There is also a complete subdomain devoted to help topics and those are followed by a brief but informative FAQ. In short, you are very likely to find the answer you are looking for on the website but customer service is always glad to help!

Pitfalls

• No telephone support listed
• Small selection of video poker titles
• Operator has daily/weekly per player loss exposure limits ($250k/$1m tables, slots $1m day)
• Max cashout limit on some bonuses (10x bonus)
• No license listed (Dubai)

The Final Word

GamingCity Casino offers players in most jurisdictions a great selection of live dealer games from two legacy streaming providers with a vast range of stakes available.

In addition to dozens of RNG table games including blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and poker, the slot library is bursting with every theme and math model under the sun.

Look for immersive and engaging bonus rounds in the 3D Betsoft video slots as well as easy-going games and high-risk adventures with some of the Dragon Gaming titles. The addition of a couple of other slot developers really rounds out the offering so there is something for everybody.

Bonuses are generous and the maximum cashout caps are reasonable for such high percentage matches. The wagering requirements may be a little tough to beat, but all it takes is a lucky spin or two to get on the other side of that valley.

The banking system is competent and that matters when serving players in certain jurisdictions. The processing of cryptocurrencies in and out of your account takes care of any delays in waiting for a check to arrive or for a bank wire to clear, but all options are provided.
