Riviera Royale Casino Review

The Riviera Royale Club is an online casino website that aims to provide a simplistic platform for slots and table game enthusiasts to enjoy. Owned by SSC Entertainment Limited and powered by Rival Gaming software, this site appears bland and dull on the surface. Rival Gaming are an improving online casino game provider and, therefore, members of the Riviera Royale Casino website are able to get stuck into a good selection of games which vary in themes and features.

Thankfully, the developer is rigorously tested by independent authorities to ensure these titles are both fair and unpredictable in the results that they provide. As a result of this feature, members can play the slots or table games knowing they stand as good a chance of winning as they would in real life casinos. Yes, there is a house advantage at the Riviera Royale Casino games, but that’s the case with a number of other sites.

Casino Utopia

In terms of being regulated, the website is fully licensed by the Government of Curacao. This small island in the Caribbean is Dutch colony and is fast becoming utopia for online casinos to register with because of its generous tax breaks and traditionally being rather more lenient than other online gaming regulators including the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner or the Malta Gaming Authority.

As a result, it certainly isn’t as safe a regulator as these two jurisdictions are but with the central government investing more money into their online gaming regulations, the websites that are licensed by them are having to meet stricter guidelines. So, players will feel that the Riviera Royale Casino website is a safe haven to play online casino games with.

Sooooo Bland

In terms of the design and layout of the website, it doesn’t get blander than this site. The icon and logo of the site, which I positioned in the top left hand corner of the screen, is reminiscent of the famous ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign that has become synonymous with casinos.

The main banner depicts a woman dressed in all black and knee high boots, which begs the question what that has to do with online casino? There are then three evenly sized squares that provide links to the website’s promotions, list of games and interactive slots. Either side of this content on the home page, a large proportion of the screen is filled in with a bland blue colour. Taking up so much space, it gives the impression that the designers got lazy and decide to fill in the rest of the page as they couldn’t be bothered to design it with more content!

With the site only being available in English too, European players aren’t catered for a great deal on this site. If you’re looking to register with an online casino that is brilliantly designed, it’s best to avoid the Riviera Royale Casino website.

Download or Instant Play

Players will notice on the home page that they can either download the website’s software or play the sites titles on the website itself via instant play. Visitors to the home page can do this easily as there are two icons on the banner, linking members to the appropriate page depending on how they want to play the website’s titles.

In addition to this, there is a section of the site listing all of the games offered on the Riviera Royale Casino. To find this page, visitors should hover their cursor over the ‘getting started’ tab located at the top of the page and then select the ‘’Our list of unbelievable games!’ option. With the selection divided into a number of categories including progressive slots, table games, video slots, i-slots, video poker and classic slots. It is an easy way for members to have a quick look and see if a theme or format of casino that they prefer is offered on site.

Progressive Fun

Notable inclusions in the progressive slots titles include Major Moolah and Money Magic. However, the quantity of just four games offering a growing prize fund means players are limited in selection should they be playing for the win that would change their lives around.

In terms of table games which are available for fans of this genre to play, the selection is small as well, with just six titles available – not including Poker. With two games of Blackjack, two more for Roulette and one apiece for Craps and Baccarat – players will feel a little bit hung out to dry on a site that doesn’t offer a great deal. That’s a shame, especially when you add the fact that the Riviera Royale Casino doesn’t offer any live casino titles. There’s nothing royal about that!

Lots on Offer

The bonuses and offers that are available to both new and existing players on the Riviera Royale Casino website is without doubt the site’s silver lining. For starters, new players will be able to pocket a healthy welcome bonus that could be worth up to €1,000.

This is firstly triggered with a €150 for players when they make their first deposit on site, and then a further €850 over the following three deposits could be players’ – depending on how much they put into their casino account.

Two other regular offers are available on site including a refer a friend deal, where those who persuade someone else to play will get a €25 no deposit bonus. The second deal is invites to a number of special events hosted by the Riviera Royale Casino – now that’s loyalty.

In addition to this, there is a VIP club for loyal players to be rewarded for their custom on site. Every time members can deposit on site, they’ll move their way up the loyalty ladder and be able to enjoy monthly bonuses. With other benefits including winning tickets to music or sporting events as well holidays and cashback deals – life in the Riviera Royale Casino is like a king or queen.

Banking is Clear

All the deposit and withdrawal options that members can use on the website are clearly displayed on the banking pages on site. With the site accepting euros and pound sterling as deposit currencies, it makes it a healthy choice for those looking to enjoy real money online casino action.

One promotion that does coincide with the payment options is the fact every player that uses Web Wallet will be able to enjoy a 15% bonus every time they deposit money. As such, those who can or already do use this method will get great benefits on the Riviera Royale Casino.

Going Live

The live chat messenger service is only ‘live’ on the Riviera Royale Casino site in-between the hours of 1pm and 5am (CET), Monday to Friday. It’s handy they’re active so late into the night but the lack of help for morning players or, more importantly, those playing at the weekend is a real concern. There are a number of email addresses that members can use to get help and a toll-free phone number, should they need support.

Not Such a Royal Hit

Yes, the site’s promotions are pleasant the support satisfying but the game options are not great. The website is also tacky and it means players are left feeling let down on a website that claims to offer a royal experience.
