I stumbled on Blue Square casino in 2006 and have been a regular player there ever since. The games are provided by Wagerworks, who are owned by IGT, meaning that a number of popular games found in Las Vegas casinos are starting to show up at Blue Square but ironically, at this time Wagerworks casinos don't accept American players, the audience most likely to recognise a lot of their slot games. Recent games additions have included the ever-popular "Cleopatra" slot (my favourite), "Enchanted Unicorn" and the fantastic "Elvis Multistrike" slot.

The Casino Games

UK gamblers will also find slots based on "Monopoly", "Cluedo", "The Price Is Right" and even "Baywatch" (!!) along with one or two other familiar brands. These slots are ok, but as a "free spins" bonus slot fan, I prefer the "Cleopatra" and "Wolf Run" slot games, both also available at Blue Square Casino and other Wagerworks casinos like Paddy Power Casino.

The choice of video poker games is limited, but Blue Square casino does have one or two unusual variations here including "Lucky Draw Video Poker" and "Phantom Belle". "Joker Poker" and "Tens Or Better" make up the current video poker games offering.

Regards more traditional casino games, Blue Square casino has a handful of variations of Blackjack, single-player Texas Hold'em, Roulette and an excellent version of Keno. In fact, their Keno game is the best I have played online - it's fast and has some high payouts.

Support & Service

What sets Blue Square casino aside from many other online casinos for me is the speed of cashouts. You can deposit and cashout with a debit or credit card or via Neteller and your winnings are processed daily, meaning a mere 48 hour wait before the money is sitting in your UK bank account. And it gets better: if you select Neteller as your banking method, payouts are often instant, or at least within a few hours.

The "cashier" process is pretty straightforward but note that once you have made your first deposit, that becomes your default banking method - you'll have to contact support if you ever want to change it.

You also get loyalty points as you play. Note, I play in dollars and for some reason, when I cash in my loyalty points they get doubled! Nice. If you wager frequently like I do, you'll find fairly regular bonuses turning up. These are awarded after any wagering requirements so you are free to play or cash them out. Of all the UK online casino reviews I have conducted, Blue Square's loyalty points seem to accrue the fastest.

Conclusion

If you don't mind limited games choice - but that's common to all Wagerworks driven operations including Kerching casino and the respected Virgin casino - and you don't want to have to download software and appreciate fast cashouts, you'll have to go a long way to beat Blue Square casino in my opinion.
