eCasino Review

“There, where you are” is the confusing slogan of eCasino. What does it all mean? You’d have to ask the site’s operators. In fairness, the slogan probably made more sense in their native Bulgarian, but the English language version of the site makes little sense. It’s no biggie, for English-speaking bettors aren’t the target audience here. eCasino is for Bulgarians, for it has a .bg domain and accepts the Bulgarian lev as its currency.

Iffy translations aside, eCasino looks just like any other self-respecting online casino, complete with an image slider promoting its live games off the back of their dealers’ comeliness. There’s a hint of trashy about this site, but that’s all part of its charm. There’s a mobile portal for smartphone and tablet users, there are all kinds of promotions and there are some mighty progressive jackpot games to play. All told, eCasino is packed with all the essentials that make for a lively and lucrative online casino, one that Bulgarian bettors are likely to enjoy.

About eCasino

Telematic Interactive Bulgaria Ltd are the company who operate the site. They are licensed by the Bulgarian Gaming Commission. An About page, written in broken English, explains how Bulgaria has been an EU member since 2007 and that it ranks in the top five European countries for internet speed. It then goes on to explain how eCasino is much more than a casino. Apparently it’s a ‘world class gaming experience’ offering more than 170 slots as well as roulette, bingo, blackjack, table games and progressive games.

If you need to get hold of customer services while using the site, you can do so by email or live chat. There doesn’t appear to be telephone support available. eCasino promises fast payouts and a range of games designed to work in-browser. There is even information on how to block the site using software such as Net Nanny if there are juveniles in your household you’d like to keep away from the site. To sign up at eCasino you’ll need to be a Bulgarian citizen or at least to have residence in the country. You’ll be asked for various details upon signup including your EGN or PNF number.

Cashterminal Banking

As one of the slides on the homepage reveals, players can deposits funds into their eCasino account using Cashterminal. These physical terminals allow players to credit their virtual account via a number of real-world terminals that can be found throughout Bulgaria. A detailed banking page goes on to outline the many other ways in which funds can be added to your eCasino account including Easy Pay, ePay.bg, Visa Electron, Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Maestro, Neteller and bank transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount in most cases is 10 BGN and the max is 2,000 BGN. Withdrawals and deposits should clear instantly except for bank transfer which will take 1-2 business days.

eCasino’s Tempting Bonuses

There are plenty of tempting bonuses to be had at eCasino. These include cashback which is set at 10% weekly or 2% monthly and a refer a friend scheme which will award you 50 BGN when they make their first deposit. Speaking of first deposits, there’s up to 200 BGN available when you sign up. This works out as a 100% deposit match. eCasino has a monthly bonus game of some kind, one which appears to be based around slots. Presumably the more reels you roll, the higher you’ll place on the leaderboard. 27 winners a month will share a prize pool of 3,000 BGN.

Interesting (or Trashy!) Video Slots

The video slots available at eCasino can charitably be described as interesting. They could also less charitably be described as trashy, in keeping with the rest of the site. Not all of them admittedly; just most of them. Voluptuous women with flowing red hair and seductive smiles front many of the games whose titles include Hell’s Sevens, Ocean Legends, Temple of Ascarca, Devil’s Fruits and Chili Baby. There’s not much class here but there’s plenty of sass, and plenty of fun to be had too, despite the limitations of these games.

Each one is accompanied by information showing how many paylines there are plus a tick box in a graded colour scale running from green to red. Green is the best rating, but for what – user feedback? It’s hard to tell. CasinoTechnology, Euro Games Technology (EGT), and NYX are the three developers whose games can be played at eCasino. Of these, it is the CasinoTechnology ones that are the tackiest. Games can be filtered by popularity, volatility, date added, number of lines and provider which is helpful. New additions include Queen of Rio, Spanish Passion, English Rose and Urban Lady, all featuring more of those seductresses that Bulgarian gamblers can’t seem to get enough of.

More Blondes to Discover

There are other games to be played on the site, although the slots outnumber these by far. In the casino section you’ll find more peroxide blondes, as is the case with Quatro Roulette, alongside European Roulette, Blackjack Pro Monte Carlo Single Hand, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker and 4 of a Kind Bonus Poker. That’s your lot unfortunately, at least in terms of virtual games. eCasino does boast a pretty capable live casino however, one whose games are available in various languages: English and Spanish and Turkish, but not Bulgarian it would seem. Choose from roulette, baccarat, blackjack and casino hold ‘em, all fronted by more seductive looking ladies.

eCasino Conclusion

Judged on the merits of what else is available to Bulgarian players, eCasino is a better than average site, one that’s easy to browse and which offers a range of convenient deposit and withdrawal options. There’s plenty of slots to be played, that’s for sure, and the way these have been laid out, with the ability to filter games by such variables as volatility and provider is great. It’s unfortunate that the quality of the games themselves isn’t as impressive; there are some good games in there, but you’ll need to dig for them. If you’re the sort of player who enjoys cheesy slots that wallow in their trashiness however, all of the titles to be found at eCasino are ripe for playing.

When it comes to table games, the site doesn’t fare quite so well. There are a few video poker titles, but not a whole lot else of interest on the virtual table games front. Thankfully the live casino makes up for this. It doesn’t have a huge selection of games either but it’s got the essentials and what’s more it’s got them in a variety of languages which is great. A final criticism of eCasino is that its bonuses aren’t explained very well – not in English anyway. The 100% first deposit match that’s on offer though is perfectly reasonable. If you’re Bulgarian, you’ll probably like most of what you see here and if you’re not it doesn’t matter because you’ll have no intention of playing at eCasino anyway.
