Online Vegas Casino is the most recent online casino using Vegas Technology that is catering to the United States. Players bring an incredibly realistic experience to a desktop which acts as a virtual Las Vegas casino. Presenting one of the biggest and best welcome bonuses we have witnessed in a long time (more on that later), Online Vegas drew our focus and required a review after meeting Online Casino Suite's needs for a listing and recommendation.

Online Vegas is licensed in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, and owned and managed by Hambledon NV. The Hambledon as well as CIGA are also participating members of the international Interactive Gaming Council, and abide by those terms. Operators and non-operators such as banking, insurance, software and trust management companies make up the member of CIGA. Under the membership agreement, all operators are required to comply with the licensing and regulatory terms of the Netherlands and Antilles.

Online Vegas' software includes credentials for fairness and safety. Certified Fair Gambling, the noted software testing house, attests that the source code in Vegas Technology produces truly random results in accordance with normal statistical odds.

Online Vegas Casino is modeled after the top-tier resort casinos on the Vegas strip, and offers a well-rounded selection of table games, slots, single- and multi-hand video pokers, and some specialty games.

The Vegas Online Casino game previews on the website list the complete repertoire of over 80 games for download, giving screen views for every game. This casino product is only offered in a download format, so if you prefer a Flash platform casino you will not be able to use it. If you have a high speed connection the download will only take a minute or so. Players are not obligated to deposit funds and are permitted to open a "Fun" account with endless number of credits to experiment with strategies for betting and managing funds.

The Online Vegas site includes slots tournaments, a true credit to Vegas Technology Software, which organizes area wide tournaments between players among various online casino licensees and guarantees larger jackpots each day. If you want to see more tournament details, go to the Online Vegas site, through the Promotions page, and you will find the tournament schedule for the current month.

Online Vegas has a lot of promotions to choose from including one of the biggest welcome bonuses online. Additional promotions include ongoing slots tournaments on a regular schedule, a 15% bonus on deposits made via wire transfers, and random extra surprise bonuses on a weekly basis to players with regular gaming activity. The Welcome Bonus is worth at most $5,125 free over one's first 10 cashier deposits. You have to wager 10x your deposit and bonus. As with most bonuses, there are restrictions on some games, including blackjack, craps, Caribbean stud, casino war, roulette, and others. Basically, this is a bonus for the slots.

The initial deposit is for 100% and up to $500 free, the next deposit is worth 125% and up to $375 free, the next deposit is valued at 150% and up to $750 free while the fourth through the ninth deposits are valued at 25% and up to $250 free, the tenth and last deposit gives the most optimal incentive at 200% and up to $2000 free. To receive these bonuses, players simply need to make a $25 minimum deposit and provide customer service with their claim code, which they can get at the cashier.

Know that if you withdraw funds before you meet the wager requirement, you lose the bonus money as well as any winnings derived from that bonus. Also be aware that there is a weekly withdrawal limit of $8,000 on one's account. If you have questions, contact Online Vegas' 24/7 customer support center by email or a toll free call.
