Casino Action Live Review

Casino Action offers live dealer games as part of its Microgaming Powered gaming site. As a member of the Casino Rewards family of online gambling houses, players can use loyalty points earned at any other network site here and the other way around.

Casino Action was launched in 2000 and is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and certified by eCOGRA. Links to the license and several certifications including payout percentage reports are available directly on the website.

When you enter the live lobby you will find a variety of games from undisputed industry leader, Evolution. Look for specialty games like Super Sic Bo with 1,000x multipliers on already high potential payouts; Live Blackjack, Live Baccarat, Poker, and big money wheel games like Monopoly and Crazy Time.

This is one of the original online gaming sites but the digital game section holds a lot more than just Microgaming titles. Look for partner studios and aggregation partners including Alchemy Gaming, All41 Studios, Aurum Signature Studios, Buck Stakes Entertainment, and Crazy Tooth Studio.

Digital games include certified video poker, blackjack, roulette, and a variety of house-banked poker games played against the dealer (house) and the fixed payout odds tables. Table games and slots offer progressive jackpots from the Microgaming (Games Global) progressive jackpot network – the richest source of millions for players worldwide. About $2 billion has already been paid over the network with direct payments from the providers to the players.

Players have over 20 years of history to rely on when they trust Casino Action with live gaming bets. Evolution is a publicly traded company on NASDAQ Stockholm so the live lobby provider is sure not going to mess around with investor funds by delivering bad games.

The game selection here is sufficient to meet the needs of most live lobby fans. The games are provided by Evolution and feature almost all of the classics.

Live Baccarat, Blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, Casino Hold’em, Live Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Roulette, Super Sic Bo, and Three Card Poker along with money wheel games like Crazy Time and Dream Catcher, will provide hours and days of gambling entertainment. When they change out dealers or when go from table to table changing limits, a fairly new experience can be had.

Poker, Blackjack, and Baccarat by Evolution

Evolution live gaming offers players all over the world the largest selection of well-liked and distinctive poker games. Aside from the games they have developed in-house they also offer trademarked games played in land-based casinos all over the world – and they have exclusive rights to some of these games.

Caribbean Stud Poker

Evolution’s Live Caribbean Stud Poker is the only online live version of this incredibly popular poker game. While the birth and evolution of the game may be in dispute, this version was developed in collaboration with Games Marketing.

The table felt is iconic and instantly recognizable. It only takes a few minutes to learn the rules if you are new to the game and it features an optional progressive side bet that can pay off handsomely.

Optional side bets include the “5+1 Bonus” wager and Progressive Jackpot side bets. The first side bet lets you build a new hand out of your cards and one of the dealer’s with a potential payout of 1,000:1. The progressive jackpot hand pays out in full for a Royal Flush and the same bet buys you the chance to win fixed-value payouts for hands ranking from Three of a Kind to Straight Flush.

Casino Hold’em

This is another progressive jackpot-enabled game but it has payouts up to 100:1 in the base game. You’ll be playing against the house instead of against other players. You will build your best 5-card hand out of seven cards – two of yours and the five community cards.

One side bet awards you when the community cards hold a pair of aces or a better hand and the other bet opens up a jackpot prize to players who choose to stake the possibility of putting together a 7-card Straight Flush.

Blackjack

This is Evolution’s old-school, classic blackjack game played live against a real dealer. Each table has seven seats and unlimited bet behind options. Table limits run from low to VIP so choose wisely. Side bets such as ‘21+3’ and ‘Perfect Pairs’ are accepted.

Baccarat

This could be one of the easiest live lobby games to learn and with its low house edge, it might be just as possible to master as any luck-based game out there.

Evolution provides all of the accouterments with live betting statistics, interactive roads, and multi-camera views.

In addition to Player Hand and Banker Hand bets, Tie bets, and Pair bets are accepted.

Game shows

For those who enjoy a twist of fate with the potential for big payouts, Evolution’s social money wheel games are a good choice.

Dream Catcher and Crazy Time are on tap at Casino Action.

Dream Catcher

Dream Catcher is a volatile big wheel game with slot machine-sized payouts up to 20,000x your bet when the multipliers kick in. It can pay a lot better than Crazy Time does, but isn’t considered as social or exciting for some players.

Crazy Time

The moment you see this game in action you will be drawn in. It’s colorful, the studio is vibrant and alive, and it has multiple bonus rounds possible.

Part of the game’s magic is how designers have mixed a physical wheel game with a random number generator “top slot” that pumps out multipliers.

Crazy Time bonus games include Cash Hunt, Coin Flip, Crazy Time, and Pachinko.

Additional Betting Options

Along with titles from Microgaming Proper (now Games Global), visitors will find games from wholly owned and partner studios. All told there are nearly 800 slots available including games from studios such as Crazy Tooth Studio, Electric Elephant Games, Fortune Factory Studios, Foxium, Just For The Win, Northern Lights Gaming, Old Skool Studios, PearFiction Studios, Rabcat, Slingshot Studios, Stormcraft Studios, Switch Studios, and Triple Edge Studios to name a few.

Slot players will never be without great games to play and everyone can get in on the progressive jackpot network that has made more millionaires out of regulars than those by any other provider.

Digital table games are in abundance too with animated RNG (random number generator) games including multi-hand Blackjack, Atlantic City Blackjack, and Vegas Strip. American and European Roulette games offer a range of betting options along with enhancements that simply aren’t possible in a live game.

Microgaming video poker is undoubtedly the most popular brand of all time for online play, far outstripping even Si Redd’s IGT video poker as an overall fan favorite.

Casino Action Bonuses and Promotions

One of the most attractive things about bonuses and promotions at any Rewards gaming house in the network is that the loyalty points can be amassed across the realm, transferred from one cashier to another, and spent for bonus funds anywhere.

Aside from that, new players will find a welcome package good for a variety of games. The wagering requirements will be quite high for table games and may or may not be available for live lobby play. Promotions change quickly so be sure to reference up-to-date information here or visit Casino Action for current wagering requirements, game restrictions, and any other terms that could help you decide whether or not to use bonus funds as you explore the live dealer games here.

To get a bonus you’ll need to register an account and make a nominal real money deposit. When we visited, the welcome package had five levels with a percentage match on each one.

You can take a bonus in four steps. First, simply register using any device with a secure browser connected to the internet – desktop or mobile. Next, Choose the banking icon to make your first deposit. You’ll want to deposit at least $10 to qualify for the welcome offer. Your account will be credited with your deposit and bonus soon after. Finally, get ready to play! The money is in your account and ready to bet!

Some live lobby games count 100%, just like slots, toward the wagering requirements. Some games are weighted differently which means you’ll have to play through more times before the bonus and winnings are eligible to be withdrawn.

Be sure to click the terms and conditions link at the bottom of the page when you visit as these games can and do change from time to time. Players willing to do a little homework will find the very best terms to play by!

The loyalty program is unique but it’s been around for a long time, tried, tested, and true. You’ll find Status Levels in the Loyalty Program. Depending on how much you play your level can move up or down every few weeks. Each level-up gets you new benefits such as added promos, presents on your birthday, new games just for players at your level, sweepstakes entries, and more. Ranked players will enjoy their own manager and host as well as expedited service across the board.

The minimum deposit is only €/$10 at Casino Action and the minimum withdrawal is €/$50.

Players everywhere will find familiar and safe banking methods here ranging from Apple Pay to vouchers and eWallets.

The maximum withdrawal per week is a little squishy but that’s only because they limit it to €/$4,000 for some players who have won much more than they have deposited. Network progressive jackpots of any size are paid out in one lump sum directly by the network.
