Royal Flamingo Casino Review

For sheer flamboyance, Royal Flamingo Casino takes the biscuit. Its majestic name is complemented by an equally majestic looking website, decked out in black and purple with a crown logo to denote its regal status.

The casino trades in all the usual games that players expect to see, from slots to table games and from scratch cards to video poker. There’s a live casino, weekly promotions, tournaments and some tasty looking slots.

Judging by the stilted English, the team behind Royal Flamingo Casino are more fluent in gambling than they are in the web’s de facto language. Still, at least the casino looks the part, even if it occasionally reads a little awkwardly. The site is available in 5 languages including French and Swedish.

All about Royal Flamingo Casino

The casino was founded in 2013 on a mandate to provide “the most fair, live, secure and entertaining online games”. The site is operated by Platypus B.V, a company that is registered in Curacao.

Also, 128-bit SSL is used to safeguard sensitive data, and the site utilises a firewall. Customers can look forward to enjoying safe and speedy money transfers including credit card, bank transfer and mobile phone vouchers.

Games are designed to work in-browser, and the site is suitable for mobile and tablets just as much as it is for desktop PCs.

Getting Started

Getting started at Royal Flamingo Casino is as simple as creating an account, clicking on the verification email link and then crediting funds to your account. Should you experience any issues, there’s an FAQ to guide you through common issues, while 24-hour customer support comes in the form of a contact form on the casino’s website.

The FAQ might just deserve an award for World’s Least Helpful FAQ, thanks to it covering just 5 topics, most of which will have nothing to do with the issue you’re seeking assistance with: About Us, Terms & Conditions, Responsible Gaming, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. Information on banking appears to be hidden away, assuming it’s present at all, but payment options include Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, MasterCard and Visa.

Packed with Promotions

Royal Flamingo Casino offers a slew of promotions whose nature will be familiar to regular gamblers, starting with a first deposit bonus of 200%. This is worth up to €500 and is subject to a 32x wagering requirement.

Between 6pm and 12am every Friday night, there’s Happy Hour, during which all deposits will be accompanied by a 40% bonus worth up to €200. Wednesday’s bonus is called Pochette Surprise, and comprises a 30% deposit match worth up to €150.

There’s also the Weekend of Flamingo, which sees a 50% bonus applied between 9am and Saturday and midnight on Sunday, worth up to €250. Finally, Tuesday of Flamingo comprises a 20% bonus worth up to €100. In other words, there are bonuses at Royal Flamingo Casino every day of the week save for Thursdays.

As promotions go, these offerings score low for originality, but on the plus side, at least there’s plenty of bonus cash to be scooped.

Few Live Games

For a site that makes a big deal about its live casino games, there are not a lot of them to be found at Royal Flamingo Casino, and by “not a lot” read 1. 1 single game: that’s all you’ll find in the live casino, namely Live Roulette Expo.

It’s a start, admittedly, but it’s one that Royal Flamingo Casino will hopefully be taking measures to augment in the very near future. Thankfully, there’s enough going on in the virtual casino to atone for the paucity of its live games.

Top Table

The live games might be a letdown, but the table games fare better. There’s a good selection of titles to choose from, all of which can be played for fun or for real money.

Desktop users who hover over the Table Games link will see a dropdown menu appear highlighting the various table games that are available on the site. These include poker, blackjack and roulette. Dice games are also housed here including 777 Dice.

Blackjack fans will be more than happy with the number of single and multi-hand games available. Naturally, poker appears in various iterations including Pai Gow and Texas Hold ‘Em, along with Regal Roulette and a game called Money Wheel which is pretty self explanatory.

The card-based table games are also replicated elsewhere on the site, with blackjack and suchlike showing up in the Card Games category.

Most Slots Mobile Compatible

The slots at Royal Flamingo Casino are neatly laid out in a grid, each row crammed with enticing looking games from some of the industry’s best developers.

The games are accompanied by a mobile icon where appropriate; most of the slots are mobile compatible. Some of the finest games currently doing the rounds in virtual casinos can be found here including 28 Spins Later, $1,000,000 BC and Aztec Treasure. There are also some less fashionable games such as Banana King, Barn Kings, Big Bang and Big Mike.

There are casinos with a better selection of games, but the titles that are available at Royal Flamingo Casino perform well for the most part. From Haute Cuisine to Hippie Roll, you’ll find all things weird and wonderful here. Notable highlights come in the form of the blood-curdling Vampires, the old-school Vintage, which features 7s and cherries galore, and the wild west adventure Spitoon. Most of the games have 5 reels, but Space Invasion has just 3 reels to its name.

Instant Winners and Video Poker

Scratch card-based games continue to grow in popularity at online casinos, and Royal Flamingo Casino has stocked its virtual emporium with a good selection of instant win games. There’s not much art to playing Persian Rubies or Pharaoh, but there’s certainly money to be made, and quickly too. From Zodiac Signs to the football-inspired Scratch Match, there are enough themes here to satisfy most tastes.

The video poker, meanwhile, takes the classic casino card game and throws in various bonus features and rule amendments to keep things fresh and exciting. Have a go at such games as All American Poker, Aces & Faces, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Super Aces Multiplier.

Final Thoughts on Royal Flamingo Casino

Royal Flamingo Casino is an extremely attractive site that scores highly for most of its features. Not only does the site look good, but it’s easy to browse and works just as well on mobile as it does on desktop. Its main strength is its games, which are varied, up-to-date and highly entertaining. The slots are good, the blackjack’s good, the scratch games are good and so’s the video poker.

What’s not good? Well the live casino, for one thing, which is a disappointment. The FAQ and banking sections are laughably bad. And the promotions are pretty insipid and uninspired. These are simple fixes though, and if Royal Flamingo Casino can improve these facets of its site, it should be capable of holding its own against any of its competitors.

Sign up and see for yourself what this regal casino can offer, or play its games for fun before deciding whether to take things further.
