Party Gaming - Beating Bonuses (original) (raw)

Introduction

Party Gaming was previously known as iGlobalMedia. In effort to focus on Party Casino, Party Gaming closed Starluck, Planetluck, and Ace Club, and changed the name of the software. I believe the only casinos that currently use Party Gaming software are Party Casino and skins. In spite of having so few casinos, the software is large and well known. Party Casino bills itself as "The World's Largest Online Casino." Graphics and general quality do not measure up to other large softwares like Microgaming and Playtech. Game selection is typical. With the exception of craps, the common casino games are all available. Party Gaming offers an excellent selection of multi-player blackjack and some unique games, like virtual racing (in screenshot above). Video poker is a weak point. Muli-hand joker poker and deuces wild are not available. Party Casino generally has a good reputation among the online community.

Game Selection & House Edge

The table below lists the available games and corresponding house edge.

Bonuses

In June 2009, Party changed their bonuses to a unique system with varied wagering for different games. See the bonus summary for more detail.

Country Restrictions

Party Casino excludes players from the United States. Other countries are generally allowed. Players can usually claim the same size bonus in their home currency -- $100, €100, or £100.

Casino List

A list of casinos using Party Gaming software is below:

Table Definitions

Group -- Casinos often are linked together in e group. These groups are listed in the table. I recommend not simultaneously playing two sign up bonuses from the same group. Wait until payment is received, then play at the next casino.

Bonus EV -- EV stands for Expected Value. Bonus EV indicates the average expected gain of the bonus with the following strategy -- Playthrough the bonus on the listed game with unlimited banrkoll

Max Bonus -- Max bonus indicates the maximum bonus that can be received.

Bonus % -- Bonus % indicates the ratio between the bonus and your deposit. If a 300bonusisgivenona300 bonus is given on a 300bonusisgivenona100 deposit, the bonus % is 300%.

Wager -- Wager indicates the wagering requirement for the bonus. All wagering requirements are expressed in terms of the bonus.

Game -- Game indicates the recommended game to play the bonus.

USA? --"No" means the casino allows no players from the United States. "No New " means the casino allows existing players, but does not permit new registrations. "Yes" means the casino allows players from anywhere in the United States. "Some" means the casino allows players from some US states, but not others. Microgaming casinos typically allow players in 39 US states. They do not permit players from 11 states where gambling is legislated illegal or where there have been related court cases -- Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, New York and New Jersey.
