The Genting Group that owns this online casino, owns forty other casinos in the UK spread over three brands: Mint, Circus and Maxims. They also own the largest casino in the UK (Birmingham’s Star City) as well as the world’s oldest private gaming club: Crockford’s. The casino is powered by Playtech software that has a reputation for delivering safe and smooth gaming. They accept all the regular methods of payment like Ukash, MasterCard/Visa, Click2pay and Neteller. Bank transfer is also accepted, but it takes up to 5 days to process. To me, security is a very important feature, and I was pleased to note the use of a 1024 bit RSA key exchange and a 448 bit Blowfish which is far superior to the common SSL protection.

The Feel and Casino Games

I liked the homepage of Circus Casino, because it was easy to use, and didn’t try to do too much. Most of the site was easily navigable by a set of tabs, and I had no difficulty finding my way around the website. The customer support is mainly by email, but there is a toll free number in the UK, and an international number that is not toll free. Apart from this, they have also listed a fax for both international and UK-based customers.

With over 150 games, Circus Casino has an impressive selection to choose from. With all the common games like Blackjack, baccarat, craps, video poker, poker and slots, this casino also features some arcade games like bowling. All games can be played for free first, before you invest real money. I was enthused to finds that the casino has a section for Live Casino Games which include Blackjack games, Roulette and Sic Bo, and a chance to meet the live dealers before you actually play.

Tournaments

Circus Casino offers a bunch of poker tournaments that run all year round, and they are particularly famous for their Genting Second Chance £100k Guaranteed Poker Tournament. Apart from this, Circus poker offers tournaments with varying level lengths, Re-buy or Add-on Tournaments where players can add more chips at various stages, Satellite tournaments where player can qualify for larger tournaments like the World Series of Poker with a smaller entry fee and also have a number of freeroll tournaments. They offer Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit tournaments.

As with their tournaments, their bonuses and promotions are also world class, and circus casino has proved to be more than generous when it comes to their bonus handouts. They have different options with their new member bonuses, and also run a monthly bonus scheme. Along with this there is also a Monday Mayhem bonus, with £100 bonus for slots, and a Wild Wednesday bonus with double comp points every Wednesday.
