Zodiac Casino Review

Zodiac’s main page is trying to convince us of its reliability with photographs of some I.R. and G.M. with huge winners’ checks (I doubt they are real winners but who knows). What alarmed me is that the small text right under the man claims that he won almost 4 million with bonuses. I won’t immediately try to catch someone in a lie, but I’m almost sure that all modern casinos have a maximum withdrawal limit from bonus money, which will usually be around 10,000 pounds. I didn’t check whether this was true. Let’s take Zodiac’s word for it. I always try to visit new casinos with some positive attitude.

A little below, I was offered to find my casino fortune predictions for my zodiac sign. Well, quite unusual and fun, although only the last sentence of the prediction was related to the casino.

Charged with the luck that should accompany Tauruses today, I dive into the world of Zodiac.

The fun started when I was done with my registration. My pain from the HD software of Zodiac is probably already visible from the previous comments, but it reached its apogee right here. The game layout looks just HORRIBLE with the pc the application. The icons are arranged in a strange, crooked list with no design, which needs to be flipped through the tabs. Appearance? It all looks just creepy. As if all the software was mashed up during lunchtime without looking. Everything is terribly slow, clumps into each other, pictures do not load. There are tabs on top that should probably switch the slots categories, but they do not work as well. I closed Zodiac’s HD software, slowly wiping the blood off my eyes.

The browser version is much better. I absolutely do not understand why they still let people download this unfinished software. It will rather scare the user off than provide more opportunities.

In the browser, Zodiac Casino looks minimalistic, but quite nice, especially after the past horror. From the HD version, I learned that there are 587 slots and 127 classic slots on the site (don’t know if they are included in the first number). Here on Zodiac, you will not find either Starburst or the Book of the Dead, since neither NetEnd nor Play’n’Go are represented here. I don’t know if this is good or bad. Decide for yourself. Most of the games here are developed by Microgaming. Accordingly, you will most likely find the games of this publisher known for its titles based on games and movies among the most popular slots. I remember spending days back in Game of Thrones and Hitman slots just from Microgaming. Other popular titles include 9 Masks of Fire, Arena of Gold, and FoxPot.

There are also a lot of exclusive slots and slots tagged as early release (I dare say that these are not just new games, because there is a separate category for new ones). I don’t know what exactly this early release means, since these games are no different from the rest, in my opinion.

Jackpot lovers may be disappointed, as I have counted only seven progressive jackpot games. I played the exclusive Treasure Quest and was satisfied.

The table games section is represented by a couple of rooms for blackjack and roulette. I don’t think it’s bad because the site also has live casino rooms, although it seems that I saw more table rooms in the HD application. I would not reinstall it to double check.

Live games are conveniently divided into categories. Here you can find baccarat, poker, blackjack, stud poker, dream catcher, monopoly, megaball, and other different games. I played Megaball a little, but didn’t linger.

In general, Microgaming is a good provider, but when I sit on slots from only one manufacturer for a long time, I start to get a little bored. I did not find any special problems playing with the browser version of Zodiac, but there was nothing extra valuable here either.

The main part of the Zodiac Casino bonus system is the Welcome bonus, which seems quite generous. With the very first minimum deposit £1 I was given 80 free spins, £0.25 each. As a result, £20 for any deposit. Not bad, huh? I thought so too. Let’s take a deeper look. Firstly, your free spins are only valid in progressive jackpot games, but that’s okay. The worst thing, hoping to win something from these spins is not particularly worth it, the wagering here is just mad, x200. I also found the terms and conditions of Zodiac difficult to read.

Zodiac bonus does not end there. In addition to the first deposit, they offer 100% to the second deposit and 50% to the next ones up to the fifth one. x200 wagering stays the same on them, and the minimum deposit to receive increases to £10.

In addition to the welcome bonus, I could get access to other active promos after registration. Two monthly promotions were open for me. The first gave double points to the Mask of Fire slot, subject to a minimum deposit of £100 (maximum bonus win £25). I didn’t really understand the essence of the second one, but it was also connected with the Mask of Fire and apparently gave away £100 randomly for 10 players among those who invested at least £20.

The site also has a loyalty system, the so-called VIP status. You can get a certain level of VIP status on Zodiac by spending the indicated amount. So, after spending £20 of my deposit on slots, I already received a bronze VIP status. To get diamond status you will have to spend at least £ 4000 (depending on what you play). My bronze status gave me almost nothing but access to VIP jackpots. The further you go through with the loyalty system, the more treats you get: birthday gifts, exclusive slots and offers, etc. The only thing worth considering is that the VIP status on Zodiac is issued monthly, and in order to maintain it, you will have to earn the specified number of points for the required maintain level every month. Usually this is about 2 times less than you need to spend to get the status itself. That is, at least £2000 a month to maintain the diamond VIP status.

I got an ambiguous final impression of Zodiac’s bonus system. At first glance, it seemed quite generous to me, but as soon as I delved into it, my opinion changed. The use of bonuses is vague, and wagering is simply overwhelming, despite its visual appeal.
