Black Diamond Casino REVIEW

About Black Diamond Casino

Established in 2009 and operated by the Deckmedia Group, a company licensed in Curacao, Black Diamond Casino runs on Topgame software and offers its services to casino gamers from around the globe, including AUS players. The casino has built quite a reputation in the online gaming industry over the last few years as a secure gambling website that has a lot to offer to their customers.

Black Diamond Casino decided to switch from Rival Gaming to Pragmatic Play software platform with a view to catering for the AUS market, but also hoping to improve their gaming portfolio. The high-quality gaming establishment treats their new and existing customers to a great selection of valuable bonuses and promotions, while experienced customer support team is always on hand to help with any problems that may arise.

Software and Games

As of 2011, all the games at the website are powered by Topgame and while both download and instant play versions are at your disposal, it is important to note that Mac users can only play in their internet browser. The game portfolio of just over 80 titles is enough to suggest that Black Diamond Casino is more interested with quality than quanitity, which is always good to know.

The visually impressive video slots take the centre stage, but their customers also have a nice selection of classic slots, table games such as Blackjack, Baccarat and Keno, as well as video poker machines and Roulette games at their disposal. New titles are being added on regular basis, with their game portfolio slowly growing.

Slots

Black Diamond Casino features two sections of slot games. Under Video Slots, you can find contemporary titles with impressive visuals such as Glorious Rome, Ducks'n'Eggs, New Tales of Egypt and Orbital Mining, whereas titles like Tropical Punch, Crazy Pizza, Big Bang and Diamonds are Forever can be found under Classic Slots.

Blackjack

At the moment of writing, Black Diamond Casino offered two variants of the popular casino classic, with Royale Blackjack more similar to the standard European version. This particular game is played with eight decks of cards and boasts a low house edge as well as the Basic Strategy chart feature. Multihand Blackjack is virtually the same as Royale, with the only difference being that you can play up to four hands at once.

Roulette

All three versions of Roulette currently available in the casino feature a single zero wheel, which is definitely good news as these games have lower house edge. The Electronic Roulette is similar to games offered in pubs and mini-casinos, whereas Crystal Roulette resembles the most widespread variant of online Roulette. As of August 2014, Black Diamond Casino customers can test their skills in Swipe Roulette, which sees casino gamers themselves swiping (spinning) the wheel.

Video Poker

Even if other online casinos tend to offer more versions of Video Poker, four games found at Black Diamond Casino should prove sufficient for a rewarding gaming experience. Besides the classic that is Jacks or Better, you will also find games like Deuces Wild, Deuces and Joker and Joker Poker in both the download and instant play casino.

Bonuses and Promotions

The casino hands out a $25 No Deposit Bonus to all new customers, which can be used to try out their games as well as earn some extra cash. When you do decide to make your initial deposit, there will be a total of $999 in bonus cash waiting for you. All new players will receive 200% bonus up to $200 on first deposit, 100% bonus up to $100 on second deposit, 200% bonus up to $200 on third deposit and 50% bonus up to $499 on your forth deposit in the casino. And while the $999 Welcome Bonus can only be spent on certain games, you have the option to claim a $300 sign-up package on all games, with Daily Offers and Tournaments some of the other perks and benefits.

Deposit and Withdrawal Options

The casino offers a fair share of deposit options that include Credit Cards, Bank Transfer, Neteller, Skrill, WebMoney and iDeal, whereas the available cashout methods are Neteller, ecoPayz, Skrill, Bank Wire and Paper Check. Minimum cashout stands at $50 for most options and it is important to note that only Bank Wire and Chech withdrawals incur a fee. The casino approves additional bonuses for certain payment solutions.

Customer Support and Security

The customer support team is available around the clock and can be reached through phone, email or live chat, with FAQ sections and helpful links also found in the website's Customer Support section. Using the live chat option, gamers can easily contact the support team even while they are playing their favourite titles. The website employs a number of security features to ensure that your personal and financial information is kept confidential at all times.

Summary

While the somewhat poor selection of casino gamers may be seen as a drawback, Black Diamond Casino more than makes up for it with a safe and secure website, high payout percentages and a top-notch welcome package. The Topgame software, can offer some very good slot and table games that come equipped with lots of helpful features used to customize the gaming experience. And with a premium loyalty program in place, the AUS friendly casino takes equal care of new and long-serving customers.
