Maneki Casino comes to you via the trusted operator, N1 Interactive Ltd. The site launched in mid-2019 and soon hosted more than 3,000 top-tier slot titles and RNG tables along with over 100 live dealer games.

N1 is the name behind several Malta Gaming Authority-licensed gambling venues.

With a wide target audience from Japan to New Zealand and beyond, expect a good variety of deposit and withdrawal options to fit every region. The site is available in localized English, French, and German as well as Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish with support personal able to converse fluently in English, German, and Russian.

Many of the operator's sites are developed for tight niche markets, such as only the Nordic region with a single banking method. This casino is meant for the rest of the world as well and offers a fresh approach to online gaming.

While the mascot (spirit animal) is lucky Maneki from Japan, the lovable feline is given as a token of luck and good fortune to players everywhere.

Software and Games

Look for blackjack, poker, roulette, scratchcards, video poker, and thousands (yes thousands!) of slot machines in the animated lobby.

Live games from Evolution Gaming include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and table poker.

Software and Games

The software allows players to log in, deposit, and play without downloading any desktop client mobile apps. All games are available in your web browser for instant play on any device.

Spinning games and tables are ready to play in seconds from providers such as Ainsworth, Booming Games, EGT, Endorphina, NetEnt, Play'n GO and many more.

Quickspin, Thunderkick, and Yggdrasil Gaming are among the providers and design studios well known in most regions.

The RNG casino is organized into several sections for quick access to the games you love.

• Most Popular
• Slots
• Jackpot Games
• Video Poker
• Table Games
• Other Games

When you navigate to the "Popular", or any other slots category, it's easy to refine your search so that the lobby only displays games from a certain provider.

Odd as it may seem, when we dove into playing with the filters (a favorite pastime!), we didn't find any popular games provided by Ainsworth. However, when we allowed for "all attributes" the screen lit up with nearly forty colorful and exciting titles like...

• Safari Spirit
• Mustang Money
• 50 Dolphins
• Dragon Lines
• Roaming Reels

What this means for fans of land-based slots is that there are hidden gems at Maneki that are simply overlooked by many online players. Some of these games have lines of people waiting to play them on casino floors, and they can deliver the same excitement on a mobile device or in the comfort of your own home.

The lack of representation of Ainsworth in the "most played" category could mostly be down to the fact that like the U.S. and the U.K, Australia is also a restricted jurisdiction.

For players almost everywhere else who are welcome at this gaming site, we strongly suggest that you check out some of these 50 payline games with stacked wilds and goosebump-producing bonus rounds!

Are three connected wild reels with up to 20x multipliers in the bonus game enough incentive? We hope so!

While on the subject of land-based games appearing online, we'll mention that eastern European favorite, EGT (a division of Euro Games Technology) contributes a few of their titles to the site as well.

If you love NOVOMATIC online and landbased slots, but aren't able to play them in your region - be sure to check out the EGT games. They are very similar in many respects.

The blackjack and roulette suites are mostly populated with live dealer games but visitors will also find a few RNG games from Amatic, Yggdrasil, Betsoft, and others. I personally enjoy playing Sonya Blackjack from Yggdrasil. The motion capture and 3D animation really add to the speed and fun of RNG blackjack for me.

Quick note: Underneath your active game you will find three icons for easy access to...

• Top games
• New Games
• Random Slot

Video Poker

This section deserves a special mention simply for the diversity of the offering. At first glance, the experienced eye notices NetEnt, Betsoft, EGT, Play'n GO, and Microgaming (Quickfire) titles. A quick hover/mouse-over shows the provider of each game. We even found a Jacks or Better game from Amatic Industries.

It may take a click into the table games for most visitors to find games by 1x2 Gaming. The company has been on a binge of innovation lately so look for titles like Chinese Roulette and Sharp Shooter if you ever feel like changing up your game.

For some reason, we're not sure why, the operators have not broken out Iron Dog Studio games from 1X2's - but that's okay, any venture into the 1X2 world could find you playing virtual sports, simple slots, keno or bingo, 3x3 slots, or even Sic Bo!

Note: The site launched with a few more than 700 games. Now there are more than 3,100. The following game providers currently have virtual space at this now HUGE gaming site!

Many of the design studios on the list are delivered over the Quickfire platform - and they are simply labeled as Quickfire on the site. That's unfortunate. We had hoped that the elite Microgaming development partners like Triple Edge, Stormcraft, Fortune Factory, and Slingshot would find their own recognition once their games met a wider audience.

The most important thing is that many small labs like Crazy Tooth of Reno Nevada, Old Skool from Canada, and BlaBlaBla of Capetown have a delivery vehicle for their creations. Quite simply - players have a phenomenal amount of quality games to play nowadays thanks to Microgaming's foresight and help in shaping the form of aggregated online casinos of today.

Live Dealers

Live games include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and table poker from Evolution Gaming.

That seems like a simple and straightforward statement, but it doesn't deliver the gravity of the facts. Perhaps we should have stated, "Evolution Gaming offers more than 120 live dealer streams here!"

Look for fun social games like Side Bet City, Football Studio, and Blackjack Party - Go deep in a VIP room, or visit real casino floors like Dragonara, Casino Malta, Aviator Casino, and Shangri La - it's a phenomenal offering.

Bonuses and Promotions

Players in most regions can expect a generous welcome package, and high rollers can get a special bonus with a minimum 4-digit € deposit. The wagering requirements are high by some standards, and the max bet may be low. Please be sure to check terms and conditions to decide if a bonus is right for your style of play.

Players in highly regulated jurisdictions such as Sweden and Finland are offered special welcome bonuses that comply with all applicable regulations.

Players in other regions will find ongoing rewards such as tournaments, exclusive offers, and regular promotions.

The VIP scheme has seven levels in order to serve the needs of players small and whale-like.

Banking and Customer Service

All common payment methods are accepted and payouts are sent within 24 hours Monday through Friday. This time frame is stated as a maximum as most withdrawals are instant with credit cards and bank wires taking up to 3 days. Accepted currencies include EUR, CAD, NZD, NOK, ZAR, and PLN. Swedish BankID transactions are accepted.

The operators have been diligent in assembling a host of deposit and withdrawal options to suit every player. All deposits and withdrawals are free and processed instantly. Any delays would be due to end-processing by your bank or another card issuer.

No matter where you log in from (accepted jurisdictions) they have devised a way to pay you when you win. Neosurf or Virtual Credit Card? Yes! Trustly, Bank Transfers, and eWallets? YES!!!

No phone support is provided but email and live chat operators are available around the clock.

ADR service is available via the "Complaints" page and Direct Casino Support is available via LCB.org if the need should ever arise to air a grievance and find resolution in a public forum.

Pitfalls

• Wagering requirements
• Relatively low ecoPayz withdrawal limits
• Enhanced KYC protocol in some instances (selfie with ID, etc.)

The Final Word

Maneki Casino brings an exciting venue to players all over the world with just a few restricted jurisdictions. The number of games from premier suppliers as well as the diverse selection means that there should be something for everybody.

The welcome bonus is nice, but the quality of the site and operators is all we need to make the decision to sign up and play. The fact that progressive jackpots are paid in full, rather than doled out via installments doesn't bother us either.
