Betway Casino Review

Microgaming pokies in Betway

The online casino has something to offer to every player, from veterans to novices. Microgaming games are well designed to cater to the widest stratums of players as they have numerous bonus features, various bet sizes and classic or unique reel configurations. When reviewing Microgaming pokies, one cannot but recall their fabulous film-inspired games, like Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. Not only do they make players relive the unforgettable films but they are also crammed with features. For example, in Terminator 2, the reels show Sarah, John Connor, the “liquid metal” T-1000 and T-800 played by Arnie. Other popular branded pokies from Microgaming are Village People: Macho Moves, Love Island and Hitman.

The casino collection includes both old releases and novelties, the latter being Attack on Retro, 9 Pots of Gold, Atlantean Treasures (linked to the Mega Moolah jackpot) and Seven 7s. As for fairly old titles, legal players of New Zealand are offered a rich library of established pokies, for example:

• Immortal Romance: the 5-reel 243-ways pokie unveils a blood-curdling story about vampires and eternal love. It is extremely rich in bonus features and comes with an exemplary Chamber of Spins concept
• Ariana: produced many years ago, this is a very recognizable pokie with 25 lines, stacked expanding symbols, free spins and a bet range of $0.25 to $125 per spin
• Lost Vegas: a post-apocalypse pokie in which a player can switch sides and play for zombies or human survivors. There are few randomized bonus features that add fun, e.g. Zombie Fist of Cash that appears suddenly and awards some bucks.

Along with five-reelers, Betway also has around a dozen three-reel games from Microgaming. Their retro machines are true pieces of art and they generous as well.

NetEnt pokies in Betway

The reviewed casino also features over 100 top pokies developed by a leading software company, Net Entertainment. The most prominent titles, readily available for play in Betway include:

• Starburst: NetEnt offers you to take a space travel to faraway galaxies with the iconic pokie, which has 5 reels, 10 paylines, expanding wilds, stacked symbols and the max win of x500 times

Progressive pokies in Betway

Progressive games in Betway are developed by Microgaming which is world famous for their millionaire-making games such as Mega Moolah. Only players who have signed up with the casino and bet real money have a chance of becoming instant multimillionnaires. In addition to the legendary Mega Moolah series, players are invited to pay heed to Major Millions, which tends to accumulate the second-largest average jackpot in the game suite. Other progressives that would interest many jackpot chasers are King Cashalot, Treasure Nile and Cash Splash, among others.

Table games and live casino

RNG-based table games are powered by the same provider as pokies, Microgaming. Its library of table games is average in size by today’s standards. BJ variants, numbering appr. 10 titles, include Atlantic City, Double Exposure BJ, Spanish BJ, Vegas Strip and some other tables, many of which have classic rules. House odds for Microgaming blackjack normally exceed 98% if following basic strategies in a proper way.

Currently, Betway offers 6 roulette variations with state-of-art graphics and rich settings: European, French and American roulette of the Gold series, Multi Wheel roulette, Multi Player roulette and their recent, Sapphire roulette (based on European rules). Other table games (baccarat and keno) are available in just a handful of titles.

The live casino section is full of Evolution tables. Live roulette, live blackjack and live baccarat are streamed in real time and have a huge number of settings that enrich and customize the realistic casino experience.

Bonus program in Betway

For new customers, the casino has a 100% first deposit bonus up to $250, which gets activated on depositing $20+. There is also the 25% second deposit bonus up to $250 and 50% third deposit bonus up to $500, all featuring the wagering requirement of x50.
