aha Casino Review

Whoever said gambling is no laughing matter never played at aha Casino. aha (lower case, please) is the sister site of ahaBingo, which is part of the Aha group (upper case please). It’s all a little confusing but this much is clear: at aha Casino you can play over 150 casino games from slots to video poker and from blackjack to roulette.

There are some big jackpots for you and some unusual games including scratch games. The company behind the casino, the Aha group, is licensed in Malta and Curacao and has been serving up quality entertainment within the gaming industry for over 5 years.

Pay a visit to aha Casino’s website and one of the first things that will strike you is just how long it is. Long? That’s right, long. Scroll to the bottom and, well, you never quite seem to get there. That’s not a bad thing though: it simply means that aha Casino’s homepage is loaded with games. Keep on scrolling and the games keep coming, games with titles like DJ Wild, Gonzo’s Quest, Birds! and Starburst – games that are immensely popular at the casinos where they’ve recently debuted, aha Casino included. We’ll get to the slots in a moment, but first there are a few formalities to be completed before you can start spinning reels with wild abandon.

Have a Giggle at aha Casino

If the sight of all those slots and table games doesn’t bring a smile to your face, aha Casino’s welcome bonus surely will. Make your first deposit and the casino will reward you with 50 free spins and a 150% bonus. Deposits can be made via credit card or Moneybookers. These options may seem limited, but in fairness the casino states that it is looking to add additional deposit options. All funds deposited into your account will clear instantly and there are no processing fees levied by the casino.

When it comes to withdrawals, there is a minimum amount of €20, with funds clearing directly into your bank account. aha Casino provides a range of options for customers seeking support. There’s an online contact submission form as well as an email address. This, coupled with a reasonably competent FAQ section, should cover most bases.

Go Live at the Casino

Thanks to aha Casino’s live casino facility, ‘it is easy to get in a James Bond mood in front of the computer’. Quite what constitutes a James Bond mood is uncertain, but whatever the case, the fact remains that you can play a good selection of live casino games, with real dealers on hand to keep things fresh and keep them real.

If you’re trying to access the site’s live casino without being signed in you might encounter a 404 error. It’s hard to tell whether the site is a work in progress or simply hasn’t been updated in a while, but there are a few elements that don’t quite gel.

This much can be confirmed at least: you can play blackjack and roulette at the casino and choose between several croupiers.

Slots Are Where It’s At

The bulk of the action to be had at aha Casino revolves around the slots. If rolling reels and chasing down scatter symbols is the prime reason why you fire up your laptop or tablet, aha have a good selection that will keep you amused, entertained and potentially enriched. The Motorhead slot appears to be cropping up everywhere right now, but in fairness it’s a great game and its popularity can be taken as a sign of the immense fun to be had while you rock out to Ace of Spades and other Motorhead classics.

Slots branded with a red bomb symbol are hot – these are the games that are currently attracting the most playing time and cash. New games are also clearly denoted, in this instance with a green symbol. If you’ve been enjoying Motorhead, you’re almost certainly to have a ball with Guns N’ Roses which features 5 of the band’s greatest tracks and symbols that include Axl and Slash. It’s a great conversion, and one that captures the excitement and unpredictability of the 90s rock titans. There’s also the Jimi Hendrix slot to be enjoyed from the same development team that mastered Motorhead.

Reels of Fun and Chaos

Many more of the slots to be played at aha Casino are less ambitious in theme, deriving their symbols and inspiration from the minutiae from life. The Exterminator tackles pest control, At The Movies will have you reaching for the popcorn and So Much Sushi will cater to Asian tastes. Rage to Riches stars Pepe the frog as Kek the god of chaos and Tornado Farm Escape sees farmyard animals getting swept away in a twister.

Many casinos, aha Casino included, now offer a selection of games that are designed to appeal to female players. That’s not to pigeonhole them or suggest that some games are suited to women only. However it’s fair to say that Cats and Cash, The Glam Life and Attraction are more likely to appeal to the female demographic.

aha Casino has not one but two South Park slots to its name. The original slot stars all 4 of the cartoon’s main characters, while Reel Chaos stars Butters as Professor Chaos, the bringer of destruction and general mayhem. The Aliens video slot is also worth your time thanks to its stunning graphics and atmospheric sound effects that’ll send shivers down your spine and leave you sleeping with the lights on.

Get Comfy at the Table

When you’ve worked your way through the slots – or simply bypassed them altogether – the table games must surely be next on the agenda. If poker’s your game, there are enough varieties on offer at aha Casino to keep you turning cards till you pull a royal flush. Have a go at Pai Gow Poker, Casino Stud Poker, Joker Poker and Caribbean Stud. When it comes to blackjack, you’re equally spoilt for choice.

Have a stab at Double Exposure Blackjack or European Blackjack. Alternatively, try table games like Beat Me and Ace of Spades. Roulette aficionados will find French and English varieties of the game alongside Multi Wheel Roulette Gold.

Make Some Scratch

Scratch games will appeal to players who just want to win and win fast with no messing around. In the ‘Other’ section of aha Casino, titles like Ace Scratch and 7 Gold Scratch can be found along with other instant win games such as Hole in One and Scratch Ahoy. Keno is also here of course, the lotto-style game whose origins lie in Asia. Break da Bank and Samba Bingo complete aha Casino’s selection of alternative games.

All of the games on the site can be filtered alphabetically as well as being sorted by category. There’s also a search box.

aha Casino is actually a pretty good casino that’s let down only by a few strange quirks and shortcomings. More payment methods would be ideal and the site could be better optimised for tablet and mobile. The games on offer are excellent however, with the slots particularly good. With its mixture of popular new games and some hard-to-find classics like the original South Park game, aha Casino is worth a look.
