CaptainCooks Casino has recently undergone a revamp and looks like a page directly out
of the history books that is intriguing and seems to await discovery. In fact,
the casino is named after the famous sea farer that discovered most of the
Polynesian Islands, so this look and feel is really apt and executed so well
that it retains a sense of professionalism while still being exciting.
Captain
Cooks Casino was one of the first Microgaming licensed casinos and has been online
since 1999; they are famous for being the very first casino to pay out over a
million US Dollars in 2002, where the lucky player won a grand total of
US$1,594,649.21! In more recent years, they have been acquired (March 2005) by
the very well known Casino Rewards Group, who I personally think offer you some
of the best promotions around and this casino has now been completely
integrated into their fold.
Captain Cooks Casino Bonus and
Promotional Offerings
At the
time of writing, Captain Cooks Casino also offers the Rewards Buddies program
and is a 3 tiered referral system that can give you additional casino cash from
$100 per friend up to $1000 per friend as you progress up the various levels.
All you have to do is refer one of your friends to a Casino Rewards Member
casino and then watch the money roll in as your friend wins big.
Other
promotions at the casino include a $55,000 monthly draw, regular promotional
offerings via newsletters and mailers so make sure you look out for these!
The
Captain Cook's rewards program is definitely something that makes playing at
this casino worth your while because as you earn loyalty points by playing at
this casino, these get added to your account which you can convert into real
cash at either Captain Cooks or any of their other sister casinos within the
Casino Rewards Group. So, you will not have to worry about trying the different
properties that are part of this group and taking advantage of the various
promotions that the different casinos offer, because all the points go into the
same global account.Basically,
the program works as follows: When you play at Captain Cooks Casino you are
awarded VIP loyalty points weighted according to the games you play. Every 100
points is worth a dollar in casino chips. There are also numerous promotions in
which you can earn VIP points which further contribute to the amount of casino
cash you can redeem.
Download
and Registration:-
CaptainCooks Casino, like most other Microgaming Casinos offers both Flash and
Download versions of the casino and both are of excellent quality, although the
download version does offer more games than the flash version. The initial
download is not very heavy as it only downloads the casino and a few games,
while the other games download in the background.

the initial download of the casino, all you have to do is activate it on the
Captain Cook's Casino website and then follow the prompts to install it on your
PC. Once this is done you can either play for Free on a guest account or you
can register a Real Player account by filling in an electronic form with a few
of your personal particulars. As soon as this is done, you are ready to start
by making your first deposit…

including Credit Card, Debit Card, E-Check, Neteller, Click2Pay, FirePay, Electronic Check, PaySpark, UseMyBank, MoneyBookers, ECO Card, and Wire Transfer.
Deposits can be made in US or Canadian Dollars, Euros or British pounds.Safety
and security are top priorities at this casino and they make use of state-of-the-art
highly encrypted systems to ensure that every transaction takes place safely,
to ensure your complete peace of mind. I made a deposit of $200 via PaySpark
and made my way to the games lobby to have some fun.
Games
Offering:-
Being a
Microgaming powered casino, Captain Cook's offers over 200 games which are
characterised by awesome graphics and riveting game play. There are a wide
variety of games available including Card and Table Games which feature Live
Dealer Games, Video Poker, Slots and Progressives.
I am
usually more of a slots fan but for the sake of this review decided to check
out some of the table games first, especially those with the Live Dealers which
are very novel, albeit a little slow. I had a lot of fun on the live dealer
Blackjack games and even won $200 but then they decided to change the dealer
and so I moved on to the more traditional American Roulette which offered very
smooth game play and again, the graphics were great. I didn't have that many
good rounds on the roulette tables and so I moved on to the slots on offer.
Captain
Cook's offers over 60 video slots with all the latest bonus features and free
spins as well as over 50 reel slots with some huge jackpots. I can never resist
my two favourite games, Tomb Raider and Thunderstruck and so I played these
first. I then also played the Hitman and Secret Admirer video slots which are
all magnificent. I ended the slots run off with King Cashalot progressive slot
and brought my balance back up to $200.
Next I
had a look at the Video Slots on offer, Captain Cooks offers over 30 video
poker games including the famous 50 and 100 hand games. I chose the Jacks or
Better game and really had a great deal of fun. Next I played Aces and Faces
Video Poker and hit a flush which boosted my account even further, so I decided
to call it a night and cashed out.
Withdrawals
usually take up to 48 hours on average, unless of course you choose check as an
option, that takes up to 10 days to receive but you will not have any problems
getting your money.
Customer
Support:-
CaptainCooks Casino offers 24 Hour support via e-mail and telephone with toll free
phone numbers. The support may be slightly slower than it used to be but it is
never the less as efficient as it always was and the agents are very helpful. The
casino will allow customers to flush withdrawals on request, however, the
minimum withdrawal amount is $50, and withdrawals stay pending for 48 hours if
you don't request the flush.
The
Verdict:-
