Jazz Sports And Casino offers racing, field sports, and a full-service gaming site. Top slots and table games from Tom Horn, Betsoft, Concept Gaming, and Nucleus are open for play 24 hours a day.

Operating under a Costa Rican business license, the site welcomes players from the US as well as worldwide with a few exceptions.

Jazz also operates ABC Islands Casino & SportsBook, among other ventures including land-based casinos in the Caribbean. The company has been in operation since 1994 with Jazz opening in 2000. They are known for high limits and the fact they accept action from pros and novices alike.

The company claims a 97% RTP (theoretical return to player percentage) setting on their slots.

Sports bets are accepted online and by telephone.

Software and Games

The three main categories available online are Sportsbook, Racebook, and Casino gaming. Live dealer streams are in the works with Vivo and Ezugi.

All metrics are available for mobile, tablet, laptop, or desktop play. No downloads or apps are required.

Online Sportsbook

Telephone and online wagering are offered on most international events and all US sports. Look for high limits, some of the best teaser options out there, and competitive lines.

Parlay and Teaser calculators are available on site.

The book is rated "B" by SBR and has been on a steady upward trajectory in grade since 2013. After a brief but difficult period several years ago the book cleared up several 6-digit payments to large winners and has consistently gained an improving reputation since then.

A rating of B is nothing to sneeze at. It shows consistent, generally positive feedback from punters and reliable operations. The trajectory looks good for an eventual A or A+.

Racebook

The racebook is your connection to graded stakes races such as the Belmont Stakes and Breeder Cup races, Preakness, and the Kentucky Derby.

Real time wagering on over 90 US and Canadian tracks. Look for odds as high as 300:1 to Win, Place, or Show, bet Exacta or Quinella, or explore the more exotic options.

Bet from the comfort of your home or on the go with online and telephone access. The site claims to pay full track odds with no limits on winnings.

The Games

Players will find the games separated by the providers. After creating an account and logging in, go to the Casino section to choose a suite of games from any of the following providers:

• Betsoft
• Nucleus
• Concept
• Platinum

Betsoft 3D Video Spinning Games

We'll start with Betsoft. Game category options include slots, table games, multi-hand poker, video poker, Pyramid Poker, and soft games.

Betsoft is one of the biggest providers of cinematic quality 3D slots and tables out there.

The slot library here has nearly 100 titles. Some games have big jackpots if you are betting max and many have a sort of interactive story line.

If you like being in near total control of your risk and reward, try Mamma Mia! In this game, you can buy wild symbols and lock them on the reels for the next spin.

If you like to switch between low, medium, and high volatility games all in one spot, Try Good Girl, Bad Girl. Good girl pays left to right across the reels with plenty of small wins and an occasional whopper. Bad Girl pays from right to left with fewer, but larger wins. Select them both to balance out the game to medium volatility.

There's also a good variety of Asian themed games with interesting feature mechanics and a variety of paytables and risk factors. FaFa Twins has been responsible for fattening up many players' bankrolls.

Try the big time crime drama series with Slotfather and Slotfather II.

Betsoft Table Games

There's a little bit of everything in this library from roulette, craps, and Caribbean poker to Poker3 - a heads up hold'em game played against an animated opponent.

Single deck blackjack is always a popular choice and there are plenty of variants for those who like different rule sets or have a favorite niche strategy.

Multi-hand, video, and Pyramid are all video poker games. The Betsoft titles are all "time-one" as far as graphics and user interface go.

The good news is that the paytables are decent and the games play as fast as you want them to.

Pyramid poker is a variant of regular VP. Normally, you would make a single bet on five cards with the option to draw. In this game, there are three separate hands created out off the five dealt. Each hand has its own pay table.

Hand number one uses all five cards and has its own pay table. The next two hands have their own payouts too but are composed of the first three of five cards and the last three of five. The card that is common to all three hands is the central, or 3rd card.

The top payout is 4,600 coins with 15 coins bet: 500 for first three card Royal, 4,000 for a five card Royal and 100 coins for a Straight Flush on the three final cards.

Multihand allows players to stake up to 100 hands per deal. Options include 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 hand games. The Jacks or Better game in any hand count offers 9/6 Full Pay odds.

All of the paytables are fair with some titles offering high volatility while others like JoB let you play all night on a small deposit hoping for that 4,000 coin payout.

Nucleus

It's not unheard of, but it is unusual to find Nucleus titles in the same gaming venue as Betsoft titles.

For the most part, they are the same games with different titles and artwork. The themes are the same as are the paytables, feature mechanics (bonus rounds) and as far as we can tell without the datasheets, all of the same maths as their counterparts in the other portfolio.

• FaFa Twins becomes Sisters of Luck
• Slotfather is The Family
• SugarPop is Sweet Treat...
• You get the idea! It can be a lot of fun to play the different versions one after the other.

Concept Gaming Slots

This Cardiff, UK company offers a variety of well thought out real money gambling games. Some may seem familiar to those who played online in the 1990s. Some of the most popular slots are Abandoned Park, Hollywood Reels, and Fruit Loot. Newer titles such as Koi Fortunes, Firestorm, and Fortunes of China look ready to attract a wider following of players.

Concept Gaming Tables

Single and multi-hand blackjack, as well as a few other BJ variants,  complement the roulette, and baccarat.

The keno games borrow themes from some of their slot titles. We find keno to be a good game to top up a balance before settling into some more serious games or to call for that Hail Mary when a bankroll is nearly depleted.

They've also released a couple of virtual sports titles; Virtual League 2 and Virtual Champions League 2. Be sure to check these out if you prefer to bet on a random number generated outcome rather than the foibles of team players on the field.

Platinum Games

This appears to be a VIP section that requires a different password, but we can't be sure. We received an "access denied" message whenever we tried to enter the suite. That said, we signed up an anonymous account anticipating Bitcoin gambling on the site. A normal, fully registered account may have access to the Platinum games.

It's far more likely that Platinum is the Tom Horn collection of games and we were denied access from the U.S. Tom Horn games are licensed in Malta and the UK.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for "free play" and cashback bonuses ranging from 10% to 100%.

Please see any exclusive bonuses under the flags above.

As with most hybrid sites, the bonus rules are not quite as straightforward or easy to understand as they are at a games-only site. The good news is that they do have a casino-only bonus capped at $500.

Once you cash out from a bonus, you'll need to deposit an amount equal to that value in order to receive new bonus offers.

Bonuses are intended for US players but others may be allowed to participate at management's discretion. All terms are available on site. Please visit for further details.

Banking and Customer Service

The site offers several ways to get your deposits in and your winnings out.

Known customers may have access to "Other transfer methods" not listed on the site.

Several payout methods are stated as being processed and paid the same day, within hours of receiving the request.

Crypto winnings will be paid out according to the payout schedule, which wasn't immediately evident, but could refer to processing times for same day payouts.

Monday - Friday before 11 AM EST

Customer Service

Several email addresses and telephone support numbers are listed under: site map > contact us. There is also an online contact form as well as a live chat facility.

Pitfalls

• Only one bonus until that amount has been redeposited
• Less than crystal clear statement on Bitcoin and alt-coin payout times
• Relatively high minimum deposit by most methods and always for a bonus
• Bonus rollover requirements may change by player location

The Final Word

Players in the US and most other jurisdictions have more options every day. Jazz Casino & Sportsbook features a well-rounded offering with plenty of diversity to keep the adrenaline pumping.

While the bonus scheme may not seem as generous as some, they do state that the slots are configured for a 97% RTP. That is nearly unheard of for US players. Usually, the bigger the bonus and the more generous the terms, the lower the return is to players.

Many visitors will choose the welcome offer and may never choose a bonus again. It's all down to individual styles of play. Personally, I prefer not to encumber my winnings with wagering requirements for the most part, so this scheme would work well for me.

We'll update this review to add content when the live dealer streams open. Until then, there's still plenty to do and a lot of RNG games to play here.
