LaRomere Casino Review

Aiming to bring a touch of Monaco-style decadence to users throughout Europe, LaRomere Casino is a suave and sophisticated online site decorated in an elegant colour scheme of black, red and gold.

Despite its black-tie appearance, however, LaRomere is an incredibly accessible casino that is open to players from all across the globe regardless of the social circles that they move in. Licensed by the government of Curacao, LaRomere casino is primarily marketed at Italian and French players – with support languages reflecting this – but the site is also available in English to make it more accessible.

The two main software providers at LaRomere Casino are NetEnt and Betsoft, which allows the site to offer a pretty diverse range of video slots and table games. All of these titles are available in instant play to any user holding an account at the site, though the software can also be downloaded.

Getting In A Spin

One of the things that instantly struck us about LaRomere Casino’s instant-play desktop site was the vast amount of sub-categories that were included in the main gaming lobby. While we’re all for allowing players to filter titles for easier site navigation, we believe this should be done through customisable lobbies and search bars rather than a rigid set of pre-defined game selections.

While many users will have a favourite slot game that they’d like to seek out and play, they may have a hard time working out whether it qualifies as a video slot, a 3D slot or an I-slot, which makes finding your way around LaRomere Casino’s various lobbies initially a little frustrating. Once you have got to the grips with the layout, however, you’ll find a decent range of titles are available.

In terms of slots, these include NetEnt favourites like Starburst, Aliens and Gonzo’s Quest and some of Betsoft’s newer titles like 4 Seasons, At The Copa and Birds. Unfortunately, this range of slot titles doesn’t quite extend to some of the bigger network progressive jackpots that you’ll find at other online casinos, though there are a number of locally seeded jackpots for players to win big money.

All told, the slot game selection at LaRomere Casino extends to over 200 titles, making it a fairly competent offering for players who are prepared to put in the time to get to grips with the site’s somewhat confusing layout. When it comes to table games, however, things are thankfully a little more straightforward, with players only having to choose between three self-explanatory sections.

Under the table games tab, players will find a small selection of Blackjack, Roulette and Casino Hold’em titles, with a few specialist games like Pai Gow and Craps also thrown in for good measure. The live dealer section, meanwhile, offers multiple real-time variants of Blackjack and Roulette at a variety of different bet limits, giving players who prefer a dealer-hosted experience plenty of choice.

LaRomere Casino also boasts a selection of eight video poker titles which range from traditional Jacks or Better games to the more unusual Aces and Faces, while an extensive “other games” lobby offers bingo, keno and instant win scratch cards alongside a range of virtual sports betting titles.

Keeping Mobile

LaRomere Casino makes it incredibly easy for players to not only access the site via their chosen portable device, but also know exactly what they’re getting when they do. Under a special mobile games tab on the desktop site, players can see the full range of titles that are available on the go, saving them the inconvenience of logging on via their smartphone or tablet only to discover the game they want to play is not currently available.

As mentioned previously, LaRomere Casino is 100% instant play-friendly, meaning no download is required to play any of the games available on the site, but the casino may be downloaded as a desktop or mobile app for greater functionality.

Crossing Borders

As a European-facing site that is also widely available in a number of other territories, LaRomere Casino supports a number of different payment processing options to ensure all customers are well catered for.

Naturally, the main methods on offer include credit and debit cards like Visa, Mastercard and Maestro, eWallets like Skrill and Neteller and direct bank transfers, with all but the last method on that list usually being credited for withdrawal within 48 hours.

In the interests of full disclosure, however, it should be noted that LaRomere Casino has reportedly been uncooperative with gambling portals when it comes to discussing player disputes in the past, while some of the terms and conditions on the site including a cap on winnings for bonus players look a little insidious.

Good Things Come In Threes

At LaRomere Casino, a trio of bonus offers awaits new players, with three different deposit match bonuses offering plenty of reasons for them to stick around. Initially, new customers will be able to take advantage of a 125% match bonus up to $/€200, while their second deposit will yield a 100% match bonus up to $/€250. The third and final deposit match comes in the form of a 150% match bonus up to $/€200, meaning in total players can accumulate up to $/€800 in bonus cash.

Beyond that initial sign-up incentive, the site also offers a range of changing daily promotions that incorporate additional deposit bonuses, free spins, raffle tickets and spot prizes, while there’s also a four-tiered loyalty programme that provides loyal customers an option to exchange points for cash.

Get Connected

LaRomere Casino offers players unrivalled convenience in terms of its customer support options, with both a 24/7 live help service and a selection of toll-free phone numbers included.

Obviously for sheer ease of use, the live chat service will be the most widely used feature at the site as it connects players directly with a customer support operator for instant problem management. However, if they’d prefer to speak to a representative directly, players in the UK, Italy, France, Australia and Canada can call the casino via a local toll-free phone number, which is quite remarkable when you consider the range of territories that it incorporates. Finally, the site can also be reached by email.

Style Over Substance?

While seemingly a pretty decent online casino site on the face of it, we’re still slightly dubious about the criticism that has been levelled at LaRomere Casino in the past. Though the site’s game selection, bonus offers and customer support service are all suitably impressive, we can’t help but feel if the claims against them are substantiated, the casino is a classic case of style over substance.

While the sophisticated look and the feel of the site may initially attract players, this counts for little if you turn around and stiff them with exploitative terms and conditions – and while these criticisms seem to have largely died out in recent years, we’d still advise customers to tread carefully when using the site.

Should these concerns genuinely prove to be a thing of the past, however, LaRomere Casino is a well-balanced site that offers plenty of variety to players and a host of great incentives.
