Roaring 21 Casino: Experienced. Rock solid. Well funded. Fair. This is an online gambling site running on the Realtime Gaming (RTG) platform launched in April 2018. The site is licensed by Gaming Curacao. Sister-sites include Cherry Jackpot and Casino Max, two brands launched in 2017 by industry veterans with over a decade of legacy reputation as straight-shooters.

The site's theme is found in the name and plays on the Roaring 20's in America when 'flapper girls' graced the dance halls, American roots music like Jazz was born, WW1 was in the rearview mirror and alcohol prohibition had not yet come to the land of milk and honey.

For many historians, it was the true heyday of the American Experience. Electricity, telephones, motion pictures, radio, and automobiles were available everywhere for the first time with personal freedom, nonconformism, and youth being celebrated before the pendulum of Victorian morals swung back bringing the Volstead Act and the consequences of the underground empires it created. A time before G-men were needed and WW2 provided the terrible catalyst that was to make the U.S. the leading industrial power in the world.

Does Roaring 21 embody all of those attributes? Butt me, pour some giggle water, and we'll go into the reasons it's just the bee's knees and jake as can be. By the time we're done, you will know your onions and be ready to make some serious Mazuma at this popsicle stand!

The number one reason to take a look at this place is that a bet laid is a bet paid. No funny business, no games when you get to the cashier cage.

Software and Games

The site runs on RTG software for mobile, tablet, desktop browser, or download client play. These managers have, historically, offered the highest possible return to player percentage (RTP) of any RTG operators. One clue is in the bonus schemes offered. Yes, they will offer amazing welcome incentives, but once you come to know the support staff and hosts and the big bustable bonuses are 'history', you'll feel at home and will likely deposit simply to play where you know you will be paid - on time, every time. It is gambling, after all, so sometimes you'll win and sometimes you'll lose. And there will always be some sort of bonus if you like to play with one. More on this in the Bonuses and Promotions sections below.

Blackjack players enjoy the speed of RTG BJ games. They have remained pretty much the same since they launched. They load quickly, gameplay is fast and fair, and speed demons will notice the winning and losing streaks inherent in a truly random game. There is no change in RTP for this game, it's simply numbers.

As this is a trusted operator, you will find network progressives here too. These are the slot games with money going into the jackpot everytime anyone, anywhere spins the reels. Many are around the million dollar mark. Some have multiple jackpots, like Spirit of the Inca. With this game, you can bet as little as $0.50 per spin and try to win the Mini ($100,000 boiling point) or as much as $5 per spin and shoot for the Grand (must trigger by $300,000). Each of the five jackpots has a "must win by" boiling point amount, so someone is eventually guaranteed the grand prize at all bet levels. Of course, you can simply fill the screen with expanded wilds on any sized bet to win 2,000x your stake.

Most of the RTG video slots are configured as "Real Series" games with local, random jackpots. This just means that every spin on the game, at this casino, feeds the jackpot amount which can be, and have been, won on as little as a penny bet.

If you play at your desk or with a laptop on a PC operating system you'll be able to download the entire suite of more than 300 individual games. All new games are released for all devices. However, it is taking some time for RTG to convert some of the older games to Flash and/or HTML5. The instant play browser casino has all of the top games.

Bonuses and Promotions

You will find very generous welcome offers here and the loosest rules as far as game selection, bet size, etc. But due to the high RTP they do back off the amount they will match after some time and the wagering requirements may increase.

Banking and Customer Service

You will be able to get your deposits in and your winnings out. Please see the live casino cashier or ask customer service about the currently available deposit and withdrawal methods. You'll need to provide documents just like anywhere else and they can take up to 48 hours to approve. Bitcoin withdrawals are paid within 24 hours, often sooner.

The customer support is knowledgeable, well trained, professional, and courteous. Live Chat and telephone help is available around the clock.

Pitfalls

Like most RTGs, they have a fairly low weekly withdrawal limit. 180-day dormancy clause. Like all others operating on the platform all but a few games are capped at 50,000x line bet on any spin (Random Jackpots not included). Make sure nobody else in your house has an account before or after signing up or you could lose your winnings. Free chips have low max cashouts.

The Final Word

Roaring 21 operates as a single platform provider so you won't be able to jump around from one software to another - it's RTG through and through. Some players, especially those who have joined the online gambling community in the last five years or so, may find a selection of 300 games by a single provider to be restrictive. However, we find the variety of maths models, bonus mechanics, and themes well worth exploring and welcome the frequent new game releases.
