WPT Casino

History

Since being acquired in 2009 by PartyGaming – the world’s largest online gambling firm, with shares traded on the prestigious London Stock Exchange – the World Poker Tour (WPT) has looked to substantially expand its online presence.  Already one of the world’s leading land-based poker tours, the WPT has recently re-launched their online poker service and established the WPT Casino.

Reputation

Since launching as a land-based poker tour in 2002, the WPT has established a strong reputation for fairness and quality, and runs some of the biggest, and most successful sites in the online gambling industry.  The powerful combination of WPT’s industry-leading experience together with well-heeled backing allows WPT Casino to offer not only some of the best games on the market, but also some of the most generous bonuses.

Casino Games

The WPT Casino is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive portfolios of games anywhere in the online gambling industry, with a collection of almost 200 slots, progressive jackpots, table games, arcade games and video poker machines to download and play.  This massive selection of games means that WPT Casino players will be hard-pushed not to find their game of choice or preferred set of rules.

Some of the major highlights of the WPT Casino offering of games are the branded slot games, which pay homage to successful film, television and video game franchises in their gameplay in design.  Aspects of successful films such as Top Gun, video games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Marvell Comics such as The Fantastic Four, and board games including Cluedo and Monopoly are all successfully integrated into popular slot games on the site.

Software and Graphics

Although the WPT Casino boasts a collection of almost 200 casino games, players need not worry about filling their hard drives with games they are unlikely to use, as the casino software only downloads and installs games as players use them.  Although players can avoid downloading the games altogether by taking advantage of the instant play options on the WPT Casino website, these options are highly limited.  The only way to get full access to the full complement of games on offer is to download the small software client.

The software itself is well-designed and easy to navigate, thanks to its clear, intuitive layout.  All of the games are very well-engineered, with a clean, uncluttered look, sophisticated graphics and interesting soundscapes, all of which will ensure players have a fun and captivating online gambling experience.

Sign-up Bonus and Reward Scheme

There are two main sign-up bonuses on offer for new players at WPT Casino, worth up to $500 each.  The first is a general-purpose 50% bonus of up to $250 that can be claimed on the first two deposits, while the second is a 100% bonus up to $500 on the initial deposit, although this bonus may only be claimed via slots play.  There are also generous regular rewards, along with a reward scheme that offers players free bets, bonuses and other prizes.
