Anyone tried Empire casino?

[hhughes]

Just noticed it on CBW...

100% to $200, BJ allowed...looks like a really good bonus.

Wanted to know if anyone has tried Empire yet? What kind of experiences you had, etc.

Thanks

Ive done it, great casino.

Its a fully cashable 100% upto $200 bonus with a WR of $4000.

The bonues clears in $0.10 for every $2 you bet so its clearing from your bonus to cash all the time and it shows at the bottom of the screen so you always know where you are. Im also pretty sure you can withdraw your cash balance at any time (although im not 100% sure about this). The cashier/casino/free money account thing is a little confusing at first but its quite a good idea when you get used to it. The software is similar to CasinoEuro but not quite as fast, but its pretty good. I finished at $550'odd from my $200 deposit and I received it within 24 hours to my Neteller. The CS was also very good when I had a query at the start.

This is a must do casino in my opinion.

Cheers,

Matt.

Thanks Matt

Maybe you could explain the confusion about the cashier/casino/free money accounts?

BTW, I actually saw this on CBP, not CBW (sorry Halo...)

I'm in the process of clearing this. It does seem good; however, a few minor negatives:
1. No doubling except on 9's, 10's, 11's. This eliminates those juicy Ax doubles when dealer has 3-4-5-6 showing.
2. No surrender
3. It's really kinda slow, especially when the dealer has a face card. It takes forever for the lady to say, "The dealer does NOT have blackjack."

But, the way the bonus is clearing, at a nickel per 1$ bet, does seem reasonable and easy to track.

Thanks for the HU OP, but I just wasted a couple hours of my life.

Up 180 with just 1000 left to go..things were looking good, until I lost every hand from there on out and finished up $20 bux. Every 19 or 20 was one uppped by the dealer, and the only aces I saw were on the dealers side.

And [censored] christ the dealers "Checking for Blackjack" [censored]. At least the software isn't the slowest out there, but pretty slow.

Fortunately you can still hit on split aces (no resplitting anywhere, however), and you can actually double on 9-11 after a split. (Actually, I think you may be able to double on ANY two after a split, but I may recall incorrectly.) WOO's calculator gives this variety a HA of 0.39%. Standing on any 17 really makes the most difference towards a smaller HA.

Sorry to hear it didnt go so well Dave...

But its $20 you didnt have to begin with...that's $10/hour...sorta like working at regular crappy job [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

What about the PIN? I read in the T&C that they send you one in the regular mail...has anyone gotten theirs yet, and how long did it take?

[hhughes]

They stand on any 17? That's good to know... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

OTOH, the cashier says the PIN is sent to your email address. Strange.

So has anyone cashed out here yet?
