Paddy Power Casino Review

Can this online casino do no wrong? Seemingly not if you read the reviews online! I took a good look at Paddy Power’s jackpot games and service and came to the conclusion that the pros really do far outweigh the very few cons. Plenty of progressive jackpots sit happily alongside nice little cash prizes so there’s something to suit all players.
We’ll be fair and start with the pros. Paddy Power has put together a stylish online casino that covers all bases. Think of a game and you’ll find it here. As we’re talking about jackpot casino games, I’ll stick mainly to the games that offer big money payouts. However, if you fancy a flutter on a different casino game, take your pick between blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker and lots more.
One of the main pros about playing jackpot games on Paddy Power is the plethora of big cash payouts. Let’s put it this way – you won’t be playing for peanuts. We’re talking thousands and millions here, folks! You’ll also be pleased to hear they’re no slackers when it comes to paying out. Did I mention the signup bonus? £150 to get you started on Paddy Power makes signing up a no-brainer.
The only negatives I could find were through nit-picking at the site to be honest. However, in the spirit of writing a balanced review here they are: heavy bias towards UK and Irish markets and lack of Mac and Linux support. Not bad going for an entire site.

Software

The Paddy Power site uses the WagerWorks software platform, which is especially good news for fans of branded games. The company that provides WagerWorks owns the rights to Monopoly, The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. In short, it’s pretty much the leading software provider to the classier online casinos. The point of using WagerWorks is simple; to faithfully recreate the traditional and branded games found in actual casinos across the world. It makes for an impressive and enjoyable gaming experience with top notch functionality, so it’s a thumbs up on the software front.

Graphics

Expect to play sophisticated Flash games with sound effects adding to the overall atmosphere without distracting you from the task in hand – scoring a nice win! The colours used in the games match those of a bricks and mortar casino and the screen is clear with easy to follow instructions for beginners. In short, the graphics are easy on the eye and make for a pleasing play experience.

Download and Registration

So easy my cat could do it. Don’t be put off checking out the Download Casino part of Paddy Power, the actual download process required to play for money really is very simple. Nor does it take ages to complete. To be honest, there’s no getting away from the fact that you’ll need to do it in order to play for jackpots really worth winning.
Registration doesn’t take ages either. You’ll be done in minutes as it’s a very simple, 4-step process that only asks for essential information Paddy Power needs to get you started.

Game Variety

It would take even the most dedicated player a considerable amount of time to work through all the jackpot and progressive jackpot games.
Check out the Instant Casino for Megajackpot games. Paddy Power offers jackpots of up to £1.5million, which isn’t to be sniffed at! I particularly liked Wheel of Fortune Hollywood, which offers players the chance to work on building a personal progressive jackpot which can be collected during the bonus round.
In the Download Casino area you’ll find 6 jackpot games: Formula X, Haunted House, Fire Burner, Super Sevens, Aladdin’s Lamp and Money Miner. Progressive jackpots for these run into thousands and hundreds of thousands.
Although slot games are the ones traditionally associated with jackpots, don’t overlook the other games on Paddy Power. It’s not just the slots that offer the big win opportunities. Try Caribbean Stud Poker and Jackpot Poker for starters.

Wagering Requirements

Again, Paddy Power have used their brains and made this process simple and fast. To wager, just stake the bonus award 32 times. The wager will automatically switch to a cash sum that appears in your casino cash balance.

Promotions

Daily and monthly promotions can be taken advantage of across all areas of Paddy Power. Free spins and cash prizes are both up for grabs. Have a look at their featured Star Promotion too. At the moment, 30 free spins can be earned by opting in and wagering £250 on slot games. Promotions do differ from month to month but they’re mostly based around themes of cash prizes, bonuses, loyalty points and free spin.

Tournaments

Head for the Download Casino area of the Paddy Power site for tournaments. Poker tournaments take place on a constant basis with a variety of ‘Sit n Go’ games that roll over until someone gets lucky and wins the pot. As a general rule of thumb there are 3 types of jackpot tournaments to get involved in; Progressive Jackpot Tournaments; Single Player Tournaments and Knockout Tournaments. They’re usually geared up for 2-8 players and you have to meet the score or time objective set at the start of the game. Single Player Tournaments feature a set number of players competing. The idea is simple; all players complete games and the prize is awarded to the person with the best score/time.

Loyalty

Paddy Power’s loyalty scheme is a little more generous than is the norm. Loyalty points are awarded regardless of the outcome of a game. Place a wager and earn points that can be converted into cash anytime.

Customer Support

No criticism on the customer support front. Paddy Power offers help 24/7 via email, phone and through a Live Help service that allows players to carry on a conversation in real time with a live operative.
