Karl Casino Review

Karl Casino is a truly multicultural affair. The Swedish online casino is operated by a Maltese company and trades globally, with only players from the United States, Spain, Estonia and France excluded. The casino is owned by L&L Europe Ltd, and is licensed by gaming authorities in both Malta and the UK. Despite this, Karl Casino’s target audience is predominantly a Swedish one, including both native Swedes and expats abroad.

Like most online casinos, Karl Casino offers a range of popular games, with an emphasis on slots. There’s also video poker, scratch cards, blackjack, roulette and Caribbean stud poker. For players who crave that authentic casino experience – without having to slip on their shirt and shoes and leave the house – a range of live games, broadcast from Portomaso Casino in Malta, supply that thrill.

Fair play, safe play

Like any reputable online casino, Karl Casino relies on an RNG (Random Number Generator) to guarantee the unpredictability of its games. This ensures that games are provably fair and cannot be manipulated. In addition, live games are broadcast in real time, ensuring that players (be it in the casino or online) can’t steal an unfair advantage.

When it comes to security, the site doesn’t run https by default until players log in, but it does promise a high level of encryption when it comes to storing credit card numbers and other customer details. Customer passwords are not stored on the casino’s servers and staff have no ability to read passwords. Finally, the company undertakes not to share any customer data with third parties.

Video poker, big jackpots and all the slots

Video pokeris particularly popular in Sweden, so it should come as no surprise that Karl Casino caters heavily to this audience. A wide range of video poker games have been designed for the Swedish market, including multi-hand games such as Deuces Wild as well as Jacks or Better and Joker Wild. As for slots, players are spoilt for choice with a vast number of titles to browse. Games such as Big Panda, Koi Princess and Starburst promise excellent gameplay and large jackpots.

What’s more, Karl Casino utilises progressive jackpots that creep ever higher the more they are played. At present, its total jackpot stands at 37 million Swedish krona (£2.9 million), with the top spot claimed by Arabian Nights, its pot currently sitting in excess of 14 million krona. Mega Fortune lives up to its billing, meanwhile, with a 10.5 million krona jackpot, with Hall of Gods not far behind.

Traditional and less traditional casino games

Away from the bright lights and fantasy adventures of the slots, a range of traditional casino games beckon...as well as some more contemporary offerings. Most of the table games are available in high and low stakes versions; typically players will start low before working their way up to the high stakes game, commensurate with their funds and experience.

Baccarat, blackjack, American and European roulette, casino hold ‘em poker, Texas hold ‘em, Caribbean stud, pontoon and punto banco can all be enjoyed, with games loading quickly and playing smoothly. Karl Casino also offers a couple of less traditional casino games, hosting the Lucky Double lottery and Keno.

Payments and withdrawals

VISA, MasterCard, Moneybookers, Neteller, Paysafecard and Ukash are all accepted by Karl Casino. When it comes to withdrawing winnings, ID may be requested by the casino. These documents can be submitted by email or live chat. Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, and if using a credit card, the funds normally take 2-3 days to clear. Bank withdrawals, meanwhile, take 3-4 business days. When it comes to support, the casino’s largely Swedish customer base has three ways to get in touch: phone, Live Chat or email. Telephone support is available during office hours only.

Live action from the casino

Live action is at the heart of Karl Casino. Regular live games featuring real dealers are broadcast from the company’s Maltese casino studio around the clock. It also shows games live from the casino’s Oracle and Portomaso Casinos. Blackjack, roulette and punto banco are all available, as well as auto roulette. For online players, this arrangement promises all the fun of the live casino experience but from the comfort of their home, workplace, or wherever they happen to be. Blackjack, in particular, is a mainstay of the casino; players can access the live and online games in-browser, with no need to download software.

Promotions at Karl Casino

Throughout the year, the casino runs a number of seasonal promotions. These include free spins, cash-back, bonuses and exclusive game launches, be it on a Christmas or summer theme. When new slots are introduced, players are often given incentives to put them through their paces. 

When it comes to welcome offers for new players, the current promotion promises a good match bonus + cashback as shown in the table below.

Karl Casino: the final word

It goes without saying that unless you’re Swedish, you’re unlikely to wind up playing at Karl Casino. That said, it doesn’t require knowledge of the Swedish language to successfully use the site; it operates just like any other online casino, with minimal text and maximum graphics. At its heart, though, this Maltese-run casino is designed for a Swedish-speaking audience. If that’s you, create an account, credit some krona and give it a try.

Slots and blackjack players will be right at home, with hours of fun to be had working through the various slots and card games. The large jackpots (amounting to several million krona for the top machines) will attract casual and serious players alike; with the prospect of making a bumper payday from a few well-timed spins, the attraction is obvious. Krona Casino also operates a dedicated mobile site. It’s a little slower to load than the desktop version, but in operation is extremely slick and easy to navigate.

One of the best features of the mobile site is that within seconds players can be free-playing the slots, allowing them to put the games through their paces without the rigmarole of signing up. Aside from the slots and table games, Karl Casino’s live games are recommended. For casual players who’ve never wagered on a live game, the experience can be an enthralling one, providing a welcome alternative to the sometimes repetitious nature of online casino games.

With a site that’s a pleasure to use, excellent slots and generous incentives for new players, Karl Casino should appeal to Swedish players the world over.
