Everest
Online Casino Report

Independent online casino report, written December 2007. Everest Casino's tag line is "World Class Gaming". I don't know what constitutes world class, maybe the fact that at Everest you can play in 15 or more languages. World Class or not, this is one heck of a casino, there is much to like. Powered by Grand Virtual software, the game graphics are very different from what you see at most other online gambling venues. A nice change.

When you sign on at Everest Casino, you instantly double your deposit with their Welcome Bonus! Simply make your first deposit and it will be matched 100% up to $100 in bonus money. The best part is that at Everest Casino you can actually fulfill bonus money play-through requirements by playing games other than slots. Of course, if slots are your game, there is no problem; all of the more than 50 slots games are eligible. But you can also fulfill play-through requirements on six different types of video poker, including Bonus Poker Deluxe and All-American. Or choose Las Vegas Roulette, certain Blackjack games, Caribbean Stud Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog, Keno and other games of chance.

Receiving you initial sign-on bonus is just the beginning; once you're an Everest player, look for monthly bonuses and prizes worth thousands of dollars sent to you via email. Be sure they have your correct email address so you can take advantage of all ongoing promotions.

For this online casino report we started by exploring all the classic games that are at the heart of the casino experience -- Roulette, Craps, Blackjack, Baccarat and the other card games. There is single hand and multi hand Blackjack with betting minimums as low as 10 cents and maximums of $150. The minimum Baccarat wager is $2, $100 maximum. Choose from six different Roulette tables, where betting amounts range from $1 to $1,000. At Craps you can wager from $2 to $120.

If Slots are your passion, don't miss the breathtaking 3D video slot machines like Faerie Tale and Shopping Spree. Depending on the coin denomination, progressive Faerie Tale jackpots range from $2,000 to over $120,000. Shopping Spree is a 21-line game with a maximum jackpot of $37,500. And for something completely different have a look at the Oktoberfest Video Slot; you'll be transported to a Munich Beer Garden, complete with oohmpa music. The beer and sausage theme and graphics are great fun, but more importantly, Oktoberfest's Wild symbols, Scatter symbols, Free Spins with Bounty Payouts, a 5-level multi-stage Bonus Round plus many more paying combinations add up to all kinds of ways to win. It's a very unique slots game, something you have not seen before. Check out Oktoberfest!

Video poker fans will be happy to discover that Everest Casino has a huge selection of different video poker games that can be played single or multi hand. If you opt for multi-hand, the choices are 4 hands, 9 hands, 25 hands, 50 hands, 100 hands and 500 hands. This online casino report wouldn't be complete if we didn't draw your attention to the revolutionary 500-hand video poker games offered at Everest. Bet only one coin per hand, with the coin value set to 1 cent, playing 500 hands at once only costs $5. Press the deal button and watch the pennies add up in the payout window. See how many times the total comes to more than the $5 you wagered; my highest amount was $19.23. You won't get rich, but it's much fun!

Last but not least, a feature I really like at Everest Casino and must mention in this online casino report is that you can instantly change from Free Play to Real Money Play by simply hitting the Play Mode button. It's nice to be able to switch back and forth, especially if sometimes things don't go just right and you want to make a small bankroll last a long time.
