Introduction

At first glance, the This Is Vegas web site gives a player who has been there the instant recognition of the Las Vegas strip. If you haven’t been there, don’t worry, because the web site is not only for Vegas vets. It is, in its simplest form, great eye candy. Nicely designed and easy to navigate for a first-time visitor, it is not difficult to find everything that the online casino player is looking for on this online casino.

This Is Vegas is owned by Silverstone Overseas Limited, who is in turned owned and operated by Bonne Chance NV. This company has a long list of other online casinos they own and is a reputable name in the industry.

This Is Vegas features over 70 games to please even the most discerning player, with slots being their specialty. They are a download only casino with no quick play Flash feature like some sites offer. The download is small in size though, weighing in at only a little over 4MB in size, so players do not have to worry about a long wait time or long installation before being able to get to the action.

Software

This Is Vegas uses the well known and reliable Rival software suite to power its casino games. This means that slots are the name of the game at this casino, and iSlots are at the top of their list for the best experience as a player. Rival is the driving force behind This Is Vegas’s download-only game play which provides a rich player experience in the form of intense graphics and sound effects that “rival” other software providers (pun fully intended!).

In addition to providing a rich customer experience, Rival boasts a full security suite. This includes 128 bit SSL digital encryption with built in fraud protection which on the backend utilizes an IdentiPrint system to track operations functions. In layman’s terms this means that on the casino side of things their system provides tight anti-fraud security so that the player can feel safe knowing their information is well protected.

Games

As we previously mentioned, This Is Vegas is very well known for their slot games. They provide Rival’s popular iSlots, which are interactive slot games, immersing the player into a storyline that involves them in the game as they have a chance to win. There are seven iSlots available for play, each providing a different experience. In addition to iSlots, This Is Vegas also provides Progressive Slots and 3 or 5 reel slots, and not just a few. At the time of this writing there were approximately 30 different slot games to choose from outside of the iSlot and Progressive Slot offerings.

Table games are also available at This Is Vegas. Full featured versions of old standards such as Craps and Roulette, multiple versions of Blackjack, Baccarat, and multiple versions of Poker such as Pai Gow and Caribbean Stud are all available. Other games such as War also are on the list which is something not found at every online casino and is a nice addition to the standards.

Video Poker is not at a shortage either. Currently there are 7 different versions of video poker available for the fans of this game, and there are 5 other specialty games that also appear including Sudoku, multiple versions of Keno, and multiple versions of Scratch Cards.

This Is Vegas offers a substantial list of deposit options. These options include Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, QuickTender, eWalletXpress, EcoCard, and UseMyWallet. Withdrawal methods are identical, but players should keep in mind that, like other online casinos, the site reports that these options are not instantaneous and that there can be a 2-5 business day delay in processing; however, they report that most transactions are complete within 24-48 hours.

Conclusion

This Is Vegas offers a brilliant experience for primarily slot customers. If you are not primarily a slot player, don’t discount them just yet though, as their iSlots are definitely something to experience no matter what your usual game is. If regular or iSlots are not your thing, they also offer rich graphics and full featured table games and specialty games, all in a secure environment based on proven and reliable software, and the bonuses and promotions are definitely worth a second look.
