First Impressions: Clean but Familiar
Ricky Casino is not exactly a reinvention. You've got your big promo banner, a wall of game thumbnails, a simple sign-up button. Well, that is good, I tell you. I would rather have a site that functions properly than one that attempts to be so smart with flashy effects that only slows down your phone.
The registration is fast--commonplace. The lobby is obviously Australian market-oriented once you are inside. It places the pokies in the limelight, and that is what 90 percent of us are here anyway.
Pro Tip: Your first week here should be a "trial run." Get smaller deposits first before you are sure that you have your ID and that you are comfortable with the rate of withdrawal.
The Welcome Bonus: Read the Fine Print
Ricky Casino throws a huge welcome package figure at you. It is a fantastic sign on a billboard, but we must be honest; most amateur players will only ever win either the first or the second deposit match.
The regulations that come with these bonuses are fairly typical of the industry. You must bet until you strike to win the money and not all games count 100. My take? Take the bonus and play a little longer and have some fun. When you enter in with the hope that you will be able to convert that bonus money into a sure profit, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed.
The Games: Pokies are King
This is where the site feels strongest. The library is stacked with pokies, ranging from old-school 3-reelers to the high-volatility video slots that can eat a balance quickly (or pay out big). It’s easy to find your usual favourites or browse by provider.
Table games and live dealer tables exist, but they feel like a side dish. If you're a hardcore blackjack strategist, you might find the selection a bit thin. But if you just want to spin the reels for 30 minutes after work, the variety is more than enough.
