Online Games Lounge Review

The Online Games Lounge is a great all-rounder, providing some respite from the big casino software companies whilst still offering the same variety of casino games (plus some unique ones of their own).
In common with quite a few other sites offering slots that fall outside of the mainstream it has a comforting, leathery look and feel to it - a refreshing change from the black, starry backgrounds and semi-clothed croupiers that some of the larger sites like to tempt you through the door with…

As is increasingly commonplace these days there’s nothing to download, with all games made in Flash and therefore playable in your browser - and most of them offer practice play.

We were delighted to see that this casino allows withdrawals via all its accepted deposit methods, which are as follows: Visa (credit, debit or Electron); Mastercard; Maestro; Neteller; Skrill (Moneybookers); Paysafecard; UKash.

There are 50-odd slots here, with 20 line, 9 line, 5 line and single line offerings, and you’ll quickly stumble across some well-known classics: Monopoly is every bit as much fun as the game it’s based on with plenty of images and concepts from the game to really bring it to life; Bejewelled is a falling block-style game, of which you’ll only find about half a dozen of in existence: When you line up matching sets of precious stones vertically they fall out of the grid and are replaced by more, lending a whole new dimension to the game. Anyone who loves Da Vinci Diamonds or Gonzo’s Quest will feel right at home. Elvis brings the King back to life with a rip-roaring tribute to Memphis’s finest, or why not go upmarket with the great and the good for a big night out in Monte Carlo’s Millions?

There’s also an impressive range of table games, with 5 Roulette and 3 Blackjack varieties supplemented by Casino Poker, Sic Bo and Red Dog, which you won’t normally find in a casino that’s not backed up by one of the big 5 software houses. Factor in a healthy dose of scratchcards, Keno and Top Trumps and you’ve got an impressive package.

Unusually, you’ll also find a news section on this site, with some serious commentary regarding the state of the gaming industry, tax and legal issues and so on. Sadly the last article is dated January 2011 though, so maybe it’s time for an update or perhaps they should scrap it altogether.

Customer Support is limited to phone and email, though the phones are manned 24/7.

The current welcome bonus is 100% up to £125, and there are standard loyalty and refer-a-friend schemes. More interesting, though, was the recent Easter points race, with chocolate making days and bespoke hampers up for grabs. They also have an FA Cup final tickets promotion with tickets allocated every time you deposit and play £30 or more, so they’ve clearly tried hard to get away from the usual clichéd financial reward packages, which we appreciated greatly.

This site may look a little tired on the surface, but under its skin are some interesting table games and some classic slots that will keep even the most variety-hungry gamer happy. It’s incredibly easy to navigate, and once we’d resolved the few problems we had registering it worked a treat. It’s nice to see less-well known slot makers like Boss Media still serving up games, and would hate to see them squeezed out of the industry by the bigger players: The existence of this site is evidence that the online casino industry is in good health, and players looking for something new to get their teeth into shouldn’t dismiss it.
