A relatively new online casino that was launched in 2002, Casino Tropez is fast becoming a favorite among online casino players, given its rich graphics interface, fast and reliable play (including a “no download” Flash-based facility), and dependable 24-hour customer support service, which can be contacted through email, fax, chat and even a 24-hour hotline. Casino Tropez also accepts players from all over the world – and accepts payments in dollars, Euros and pound sterling.

The fact that one’s cash winnings can be transferred within three to five days (as opposed to other online casinos which often take weeks) is also a factor in its favor. At the same time, most of the common modes for deposit or payment (credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and Diners), online monetary transactions, wire transfers, and bank transfers are also covered. All these have made Casino Tropez one of the top 20 online casinos in the years since its launch.

Games, Graphics and Speed

Admittedly, some people may find Casino Tropez’s graphics interface a bit too garish – striking greens dominate the site, although others may call the colors vibrant. Graphics for the established games like blackjack, baccarat and roulette are adequate and capture the sense and feel of a real-world casino and gambling table.

The range of games that can be played are almost the same as many other online casinos. There are the standard card and table games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat and craps; the arcade games such as Derby Day (a racetrack game), Genie’s Hilo, Pop Bingo and Rock-Paper Scissors; video poker, coming in both multi-line and singe-line formats; and the slots (3-reel and 5-reel single- and multi-line slots).

Play is fast and reliable; players have the option of downloading the software for installation on their computers or using a Flash-driven ‘no download’ feature. The latter does not suffer from long upload or download times; loading of the games is a breeze and you can find yourself ready and willing to play a game in – literally – a few blinks of the eye.

Bonuses, Promos and Other Offers

Casino Tropez offers a $300 signup bonus, although this is broken up into separate ‘installments’ and not as a lump windfall for the new player. Casino Tropez will match your first deposit up to $100 (e.g., an initial deposit of $50 will be matched with playing chips worth the same amount; a $100 deposit will be matched with the same amount of chips). Your second deposit (of up to $200) will also be matched by Casino Tropez.

Aside from these, friends referred to the site will give you additional bonuses of up to $50 per person.

Signup deposits are set at a minimum of $50 for most payment modes; some modes such as bank drafts or wire transfers require a minimum of $100 as deposit/ payment. These non-credit card payment modes, however, also offer their own bonus amounts ranging from 10-15 percent.
