RTG
True Blue is an RTG-driven online casino with over 250 games of which 150+ are pokies. The intensive gaming content is augmented by an excellent bonus program with a generous 200% welcome bonus up to $2000, lots of free spins and other regular bonus events. Becoming a registered member is an easy step that can be done quickly on any device. In addition to reload bonuses, every qualifying player can claim an unbelievable 50% cashback on losses, which is a really royal offer to New Zealand users. There are two gaming platforms available: a proprietary app that can be downloaded from the casino and an instant-access browser site (Webplay). Whichever is picked, fun, big winnings and comfortable casino atmosphere is guaranteed. True Blue is a GLI certified, safe and secure gambling site that is based solely on the RTG platform. As such, it has many progressive pokies that many players love.
Deposits and withdrawals in True Blue
Users who visit the casino from New Zealand can pick from four payment options to deposit money: Bitcoin, Neosurf prepaid cards, Visa and MasterCard. The minimum deposit is $10, which is also a qualifying sum to claim the welcome bonus. The casino accepts bitcoins but players cannot bet BTC on casino games. The matter is that True Blue makes an internal conversion of bitcoins to Australian dollars which is an official currency of the casino.
Withdrawals are performed via Bitcoin and bank transfer. The maximum amount the casino is able to process is $2500 per week. The said limit can be increased up to $7500 per week for players who bear advanced VIP statuses. There are also fees of up to $40 per transaction imposed on bank transfer transactions. All requests on cashout are reviewed for 3 to 5 days and are then approved (or denied) within 7 days. Bitcoins are usually delivered much quicker than a normal bank transfer.
True Blue mobile casino
About 100 RTG pokies support mobile play and look great on small screens (in a landscape mode). Buttons, menu and links are logical and easily reachable. Mobile users can sign up (log in), connect with Support agents, redeem bonus coupons, transfer NZD/bitcoins to and from the online casino and participate in other casino activities. Mobile gaming is provided in a no-download format only.
Video pokies in True Blue
The RTG platform present in the online casino contains over 150 pokies, and counting. The provider releases new games quite rarely but on a regular basis, appr. one game per month. When inside the lobby, a player will see a vertical left bar that shows game categories including Online Pokies. Clicking it will open a grid with pokie thumbnails, with four pokies in a row. Hovering over a pokie will show a short animations of spinning reels for a player to get an idea of the game design.
Inside the Online Pokies category, there are two dropdown menus above the game list. The Sort By menu shows a list of sorting options including A–Z, Most Popular and Biggest Jackpots amongst others. Another menu, Themes, enables a player to select 1 of 15 available options (Luxury, Music, Ocean, Space, etc.) to display pokies of that theme only. Below the pokie thumbnails, one can see a slowly moving list of Recent Winners and Top Winners.
Although the bulk of games is built on a traditional layout with 5 reels and 3 rows, NZ players can find something unique in True Blue. Pulsar, one of the latest pokies from RTG, shows animated stars and galaxies at the background as if viewed from a moving spaceship. Instead of spinning, symbols appear in a honeycomb-shaped formation as a result of laser shots. Another new pokie Magic Mushroom has quite a modern view with little fairies and magic accessories hovering against a magic forest. Instead of a standard 5×3 layout, the pokie got 3 reels and 27 ways to win.
Most games in the casino collection are aimed at those who prefer standard 5×3 solutions with just basic features in place. In fact, most games from RTG have just a few features each, like a wild symbol (normally, payable), a scatter and free spins. Sometimes, the action is accompanied with a bonus round. For example, an Asian-themed pokie Empress Wu has 25 fixed lines, giant symbols that can occupy up to 15 positions, wilds, scatters and free spins. Another Asian pokie Fu Chi is equipped with 50 lines, a x2 wild multiplier, scatter, free spins and two progressives.
To sum up the pokie library designed by RTG, it cannot boast extremely unique or rare features. It does have many exciting and eye-catching games but in general, they are fairly basic when it comes to bonuses. As for payouts, they are usually above-average or even high. In some pokies, the top-paying symbols would award up to 10,000 coins for five of a kind.
Abundance of local progressive pokies
More than a half of RTG pokies have local progressive jackpots which accumulate within each specific casino. Being local, they are normally won before reaching a $10,000 mark. Whenever a player bets real money in an RTG progressive pokie, 1.5% is deducted from the total bet and added to the jackpot pool, thus, it keeps on increasing gradually until someone hits it. Pokies displayed in True Blue may have a different number of jackpots: one (Eagle Shadow Fist), two (T-Rex II) or more (Halloween Treasures). A jackpot is triggered randomly after any spin or as a result of a bonus feature. RTG officials claim the probabilities of winning a jackpot enhance with an increase in bet size.
Table games in True Blue
The casino offers the following variations of blackjack:
- Face Up 21 – 8 decks, all cards are dealt face up
- Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack
- Blackjack with Perfect Pairs side bet
- European Blackjack – 6 decks, the dealer receives the second card after the player makes a decision
- Classic Blackjack
- Match Play 21 – 8 decks without tens. There are special payouts and Surrender option
- Super 21.
Unfortunately for roulette fans, there is no French table in the RTG collection but European and American roulette games are available. Baccarat, craps and a handful of instant-win games are published in the Specialty Games section of the online casino.
Promotions and bonuses in True Blue
Bonuses are present in droves. First-timers are credited with a 200% welcome bonus up to $2000 after placing a deposit with the casino. The wagering requirement of x30 is applicable to all reload bonuses including the welcome offer.
To see the full list of active bonuses, a player should click the Promos link when in the lobby. In fact, the casino offers about 10 bonuses running simultaneously, and they tend to cover a specific game. For example, there is a 300% No Max bonus plus 50 free spins on T-Rex pokie; a 260% reload bonus with No Max rules on an appetizing Sweet 16 pokie, and many other promotions that focus on a single pokie only.
All depositing gamblers receive 14 free spins every day during a week. Besides, NZ users can benefit greatly from a 50% cashback promotion that is calculated against the busted deposits. Summarizing the bonus program, one can notice that it is fairly extensive and abundant with reloads and free spins. Concerning WR values, they can be considered to be average by today’s standards.
