Wazamba is an exotically themed online casino owned by Tranello Ltd of Cyprus and operated by Araxio Development N.V. of Curacao.

The site joins several sibling gambling and sports betting sites on the Soft2Bet network. Casinos Malina, Guran, YoYo, Casinia, BoaBoa, Alf, and Zet each offer unique themes, gamification, and bonus possibilities.

While the site may seem to go over the top with statements alluding to big, easy winnings, they also offer responsible gambling advice and tools.

Available in multiple languages, the site offers a generous welcome bonus, multiple currencies, and a fun gambling experience.

Operator's Reputation

• Fair
• Responsive
• Professional
• Generous

New operations can be difficult to divine. There's a lot more to an amazing experience than 1,000+ titles by top-tier game providers. You need to know they'll respond to your queries promptly and meaningfully, and pay on time when you win - not to mention provide a stable platform.

When a new property is added to an existing company's stable, we have the luxury of trying to predict the future based on past actions at other properties they run.

The good news here comes with a small caveat...

Not all of the Tranello operations launched without a hitch. We found a small handful of complaints about properties such as YoYo, which have all been resolved fairly and quickly. Most of the gripes were newbie errors on the player's part.

We find one unresolved problem about Buran. However, it's not possible to determine if the payment was made, the player was proven to have multiple accounts, or any other conclusion was reached.

Even so, this tells us that they may not take the time to search out things that could be damaging to their reputation and bring them to a conclusion in public. It would be in their interest to do so.

YoYo, Malina, BoaBoa, Casinia, Alf, Cadoola, CampoBet, LibraBet, and this property all have active support at LCB with a very low level of activity across the brands. What we do see, was handled very well, to include allowing an exception to terms when a player made an elementary boo-boo. 

Software and Games

While some sites give you a bare bones, minimalistic interface to make navigation easy - this site simply makes it fun to explore a unique universe. The menus are laid out well, easy to find, and a breeze to drive through.

The artwork is cool, the color scheme vibrant, and the feel of the site is unique.

Clicking the "Games" button creates a display of slot icons which fill in signboards that appear to be made of old pieces of wood.

There are really no surprises in the "Top" games category headed up by the volatility junkie's, DoA and followed by Immortal Romance, The Asp of Cleopatra, and other top slots.

Choosing to select games from specific providers shows a handful of options along with "See all 40, 98, 12, etc., games from:

• Red Tiger
• RedRake
• Casino Technology
• NoLimit City
• Booongo
• BGaming (SoftSwiss)
• Igrosoft
• Play'n GO

...as well as a great selection of titles from Habanero, Yggdrasil, Pragmatic Play, Pariplay, Quickspin, and Push to name a few.

Look for nearly 500 titles from Quickfire including Microgaming and partners.

The live dealer suites are filled with Ezugi and Evolution Gaming tables. However, like most other sites, live dealer games are not available for fun/practice play - everything else is. It's really quite a selection to choose from!

Each section has several paragraphs about the particular type of game being displayed with easter-egg links in some of the writing to help players drill down to specific suites such as card games, video poker, etc., not found in the main menu.

Progressive Games

We would have preferred to see more variety in the Jackpot section. The games we found were:

Two Push Gaming Power Force titles - Heroes and Villains with two jackpots each; iSoftbet's Neon Reels, and Jackpot 6000 from NetEnt with tiered jackpots.

Tables

You'll find a couple of live dealer games in this section along with Cyber Stud, baccarat, Pai Gow, and Joker Poker Power Poker. As mentioned, they want you to read some of the fun advice and horn blowing that goes on in the text and you'll need to do that in order to find the entire collection of video poker and card games.

Cards

Oddly enough, this is another place to find several video poker choices. The full VP suite offers over two dozen choices. Be sure to check the paytables on some of these games as iSoftbet slips in a clunker now and then. In fact, iSoftbet video poker is best avoided altogether, so thankfully there are some premiere Microgaming titles in the suite.

Look for about 50 RNG felts with a fair selection of animated blackjack titles, casino hold'em, baccarat, and at least one High Low game.

Live Dealers

The entire Ezugi suite opens from a single icon. All games are omnichannel, HTML5 with high-quality sound and HD video. The company's been around since 2012 and produces some of the better streams if you aren't looking for Playtech augmented reality-type settings. They are simply well produced using state-of-the-art studios and professional dealers. Great camera angles and an intuitive user interface are two things that jump off the page when thinking of their product.

The balance of games is provided by Evolution Gaming. The company's entire range of games along with all of their variants aren't offered here, but the selection is more than sufficient for most players. Choices include blackjack, three card poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, baccarat, Caribbean Stud, Dragon Tiger, roulette, and the gameshow style Dream Catcher money wheel.

Bonuses and Promotions

Gamification rules the day with most Soft2Bet group casinos. While the achievements element hadn't quite been put together as of launch time, the structure was in place and "Coming Soon" could be seen emblazoned on the site in several places.

We noticed a nice welcome bonus and the site holds other special offers for players in most regions.

Like most places, be sure to play out or cancel any remaining bonus funds before making a fresh deposit to avoid surprises.

Some slots are only weighted at 20% for wagering requirements, so be sure to check the list in the T&C. Slots that can't be played with a bonus are unavailable, so you shouldn't run afoul of that rule easily.

Banking and Customer Service

With nearly a dozen currencies supported (not counting BTC or alt-coins), it's safe to say they are appealing to a wide audience geographically. 

Payment methods are diverse too with several regional favorites such as Boleto, Multibanco, and Qiwi adding to the list of more common deposit and withdrawal options.

Customer service is stated as being available around the clock, but some players have taken issue with that claim in public forums. We were able to raise a live chat agent each time we tried. The FAQ is fairly brief but answers some important questions. An email address is provided.

Phone calls are answered 10-20:00 GMT +3 except on weekends with separate numbers for players in Russia and the rest of Europe.

The finance team works from 09-18:00 +3 five days a week and the site states that payouts occur within 24 hours except on weekends.

Pitfalls

• No UK or Malta license
• Account verification sometimes includes a selfie with passport or payment card
• 24-hour pending time on withdrawals

The Final Word

Many online casinos nowadays offer more than a thousand games. We like the variety of providers found here. Titles from more than 30 developers, including two live dealer solutions should keep most players happy for the long run.

We'd prefer to see instant cashouts for the second and any subsequent withdrawal. Barring that it would be nice if they flushed or locked withdrawals if funds do indeed stay available for reversal 24 hours. 

The operators had a few hiccups with earlier launches, but they attended to all of them as far as we can tell. Some of the solutions were generous and flexible. 

If you are looking for an entertaining online gaming venue with great artwork, a fun concept, and plenty of game choices, this site just might be a good fit for you. Please feel free to leave your comments after experiencing Wazamba!
