Lock Casino

Lock Casino Overview

Lock Casino is from the same outfit who own the incredibly popular Lock Poker. The casino site was formed in 2009 and is aimed primarily at US players. It uses Real Time Gaming (RTG) technology and benefits from both instant and downloadable games. The site has worked hard on their downloadable software to ensure it works effortlessly on both PC's and Macs. This gives it an edge over other casinos which usually forgo the need to entertain Apple users. RTG comes equipped with TST testing, an independent organization which monitors and tests the games for reliability and fairness. For this reason you can assume you are getting a fair deal whether you win or lose because the games are certified to be random.

Appearance and usability

We felt like James Bond when using the site because it has a suave black, white and silver color scheme and subtle references to spies lifestyle (check out the Bond bonus on their promotions page). The homepage offered an insight on latest promotions, games and winners. There's also a tantalizing progressive jackpot counter with the strap line ‘what would you do with a million dollar jackpot?'. Customer service is available around the clock through live chat or email. We found this to be hit or miss because some of the advisors seemed less cheerful than other sites we've played at. On the plus side we did always get an answer, even though it can take a while to get it.

Games

There are over 200 games which are split between table, slots, video poker, lotto, instant play and download games. You'll find plenty of progressive jackpot games available too, such as Aztec's Millions, Jackpot Pinatas and more. If you'd prefer to play table games then there's plenty of them too. These include roulette, European Roulette, Craps, Blackjack, Red Dog, Sic-Bo, Pai-oGw, Vegas three card Rummy, Caribbean Hold ‘Em and TRI Card Poker.

Promotions

There's an entire page dedicated to promotions which include a rather generous sign up offer. The site offers a competitive promotional lineup with something occurring during every day of the week; it's important to check this frequently because they chance often.

Cashier

Making a deposit is a synch, with multiple options available. You can be playing within minutes which is handy. However, the same cannot be said when withdrawing your balance because it can be a slow process. This has improved in recent months, but it's worth checking with method is quickest for you (dependent on country).

Conclusion

Lock Casino offers a modern website which offers instant or download games which work great on PC's, Mac's and even mobile platforms. They did suffer a problem with payment freezes in 2010, but has since changed protocols to ensure cash outs are handled in a timely fashion. Other things to look out for are slow customer service (not always) and strict wagering requirements on bonuses. Other than that Lock Casino offers an ultra modern gaming environment complete with stunning games.
