Villa Fortuna Review & Casino Bonus Details
Warning: Villa Fortuna is linked and owned to the Grand Prive Group that decided it was better to no longer pay affiliates for existing US players when Microgaming pulled out of the US. It would be best to use caution with companies that employ such tactics.Whenever I check out a casino I haven't visited before I start by finding out two things. What software are they running, and are they regulated at all?
Villa Fortuna runs on software from Microgaming, so straight away that gives you a sense of confidence that the games are going to be decent. Microgaming was one of the first companies to start developing online casinos and as such has a long and proven track record. There's a reason their company dominates in this sector: their games are slick, exciting and look really good, and they hold casinos that use their software to a code of conduct.

US Players?The fact that it's running Microgaming software does mean that it won't be accepting players from the USA, however. In the wake of some recent litigation in America, Microgaming announced that its network will no longer welcome American players. It remains to be seen whether this is a permanent or a temporary ban.Villa Fortuna eCOGRA certificationOn the regulation front I noticed that Villa Fortuna has eCOGRA certification. This is a big deal, eCOGRA only grants the Safe and Fair certification to online casinos that submit to rigorous auditing and analysis to ensure their games are above board.Another reason why it's smart to play at an eCogra certified casino is that eCOGRA acts as a mediator in any disputes – if you ever need to challenge something it's not just you against the casino. Casino GamesThe casino site itself is really attractive; it looks like Flash animation on most of the interface which gives it a glossy feel. The whole theme of the design is one of class and style, from the distinguished wallpaper to the chamber music that plays when you open the page.To play you'll need to download and install a program, but it didn't take very long and it was pretty easy. Once you lauch the actual casino software, you start to get a sense of the exclusiveness of this casino – it's beautiful. On the table games front, they've got a good selection including Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. If you prefer slots they have around 12 different games including the ever popular Tomb Raider. Separately there's three progressive jackpot slots, which I believe are networked, meaning that the potential ceiling on winnings is unlimited. All of those games display the jackpot value prominently in the interface so that you can see what it currently is. The three progressives are Major Millions, Cash Splash and Treasure Nile. In keeping with their classy feel they have a special bonus for high rollers – deposit €2,000 and get €1,000 free. True, it's a standard 50% match bonus, but can you name another casino that will match such a large amount? Bonuses and a free trialFor the regular players, there's a fun €500 no deposit bonus. You have to spend it all in the first hour, but blowing free cash at that rate is epic fun, and you get to keep any money you win while madly making bets.Banking MethodsOn the money side, Villa Fortuna accepts most credit and debit cards, and a range of eWallets including NETeller, Instadebit, ECOcard, Click2Pay, Moneybookers and several others. When you withdraw, they pay out into most eWallets, but also support direct bank transfers and couriered cheques.Villa Fortuna in our Forums: | Villa Fortuna VideoVilla Fortuna Screen Shots
