Ruby Royal Online Casino Has No-Fee Check Withdrawals For US Players

Ruby Royal Online Casino Banner

One of the drawbacks of online gambling is withdrawal fees. You win a couple hundred bucks at an online casino and then have to pay $30, $40, even $50 to have a check sent to you. Kind of a bummer.

At Ruby Royal online casino, check withdrawal fees for US players are a thing of the past. They cost zero dollars… nada… zilch. When you request a $104.15 withdrawal, you’ll actually get a check for $104.15! And while Ruby Royal online casino does have a $100 minimum for check withdrawals, that seems fair and reasonable since they do not charge a fee.

Here’s the lowdown on Ruby Royal online casino.

  • Accepts most players from around the world, including players located in the United States
  • Runs on the award-winning Rival software platform, featuring i-Slots
  • All new players are given a two-stage promotion
  1. 888 credits and 30 minutes to win up to a $100 bonus — must bet at least 222 credits and anything over 888 (up to 100)  after 30 minutes is given as a bonus in stage two
  2. Deposit $25 to receive your stage one winnings — playthrough is 35 x (deposit + bonus) with no cap on your winnings
  • After the two-stage promotion is complete, redeem RUBYWELCOME promotion from the cashier for a 300% bonus up to $3000 — carries a 30 x (deposit + bonus) with no cap on your winnings

Five Newest Online Slot Machines from Rival Gaming

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, US players can again play their favorite Rival Gaming casino games at Slots Capital. Like other online casinos, Slots Capital offers the typical games like video poker, blackjack, craps, and roulette. And also like other online casinos, their differentiating offering is their selection of online slot machines. As of this writing, no other US-friendly online casino offers the online slot machines that can be found at Slots Capital.

And in case you have not been keeping track of their newest online slot machines, here you go!

Rev your engines, get those pistons pumping and race around the oval track in Fast Lane, Rival’s first 50-line slot release! Based on the popular American motor sport, Stock Car racing. Three bitterly competitive drivers in their respective sponsored cars are firing on all cylinders to be the first to take the checkered flag.
Hard day at the hive? Beetle on over and check out Pub Crawlers, where hanging on the Web has a whole new meaning. This Slot is centred around a traditional British Pub, with one small exception. This particular pub is filled with creepy crawly bugs of all sorts, spiders, and other slithering, squirming, and soaring insects sucking back the suds.
Your fortune is written in the stars with Astral Luck. Inspired by the signs of the zodiac and their corresponding constellations, Astral Luck brings the mystery and magic of the night sky to life with this exciting new 5-reel, 50-line video slot.
Sway to the beat of the street as the costumed Carnival girls go by. Then grab your beads and join the party! Wild Carnival has everything you need to get in the party mood – icons include a trumpet, a tambourine, a steel drum, a Wild blue mask, and Free Spin feathers. The remaining icons include six playing card values (9, 10, J, Q, K, A).
This dreadfully funny slot has a wide range of kooky and spooky characters. The leftover living folks have gathered their weapons to defend against the heaps of flesh eaters. There is Flaming Moe, Patty Pipeswinger, and Chainsaw Charley. The undead side features a few favourite characters like Zombdaddy and Zomdaughter, Nurse Necros and the Zombaby, a Zomdoggy and a few other surprises.

For a complete list of the 75+ online slot machines that you can play at Slots Capital, check out my massive list of online slot machines.

Good luck!

Rival-Powered Online Casino Again Available to US Players

About a year and a half ago, Rival-Powered online casinos shut their doors to players in the United States. If you were located in the US and had an account at one of these online casinos, then you found yourself out of luck. Sure, you got your balance returned to you, but you could no longer play the cool Rival-powered games.

Today I am pleased to report that there is now a Rival-Powered online casino that accepts real money players from the United States! For the past two weeks, I have been testing Slots Capital — I was able to make a deposit, get a bonus, and make a withdraw request (which is now in progress). Through my testing, the casino software has performed flawlessly. The customer support via chat and email has been prompt and their information accurate.

So, if you’re looking for a Rival-Powered online casino, check out Slots Capital. You’ll get $7 free when you sign up, and a generous 200% bonus on your initial deposit.

A Good Online Casino Alternative for US Players

Due to online poker‘s Black Friday in April of 2011, the number of online casinos that continue to accept real money players from the United States is shrinking every day. Often, this decision is made not by the online casino operator itself, but rather by the online casino software vendor. Rival Gaming is a recent example of an online casino software vendor that has recently informed its licensees that they are no longer permitted to accept players from the United States.

Not all online casino software vendors have pulled the plug on the United States market. One vendor is BetOnSoft, which powers several online casinos, including Grand Eagle, a reputable online casino with a generous welcome bonus of 100% up to $400 when you use bonus code GEWBDB.
I’ve been playing on and off at Grand Eagle online casino for several months now. And while withdrawals were certainly easier when QuickTender/UseMyWallet was available (it isn’t any more), they do offer three withdrawal methods:
  • Courier Check via FedEx with a cost of $30 which takes between 3 – 5 days
  • Check sent via regular mail with a cost of $17.50 which takes 21 business days
  • Bank Transfer to player’s checking account which costs $20. Please note that external fees from bank clearing houses may be added.

I have made one withdrawal via FedEx and two via regular mail — all three arrived within the time frames outlined above. I have not tried the Bank Wire.

Depositing has never been a problem using my Visa. I also tried and succeeded using a Visa Debit card that I purchased at my local Kroger’s supermarket.

The odds that are offered on Grand Eagle‘s online Video Poker are among the best that you are going to find for any online casino that still accepts US players. In fact, their Jacks or Better and their Double Double Bonus Video Pokers offer the absolute best odds that you can get for any online casino that still accepts US players — paybacks of and 99.94% and 98.98%, respectively. Their other Video Poker varieties are close to the best in terms of payback. (I’ve calculated paybacks for all varieties of online Video Poker on a single, easy-to-use page.)

As for table games, Grand Eagle has what you would expect — several varieties of blackjack, American roulette, European (single-zero) roulette, baccarat, craps, and three card poker.

Finally, Grand Eagle boasts an impressive variety of more than 30 online slot machines. Here are just a few.

  • Dream Wheel – A Wheel of Fortune knock off
  • Pieces of Eight – A pirate-themed online slot machine
  • NASCAR – Based on the wildly popular auto racing organization
Don’t wait to download Grand Eagle online casino today. The welcome bonus of 100% up to $400 when you use bonus code GEWBDB is due to expire at any time.

RTG Online Casinos Still Strong in the United States

In the wake of the recent FBI indictment of several prominent online poker room owners / principles, some online casinos (primarily some Rival online casinos) have elected to leave the US market, similar to what happened in response to the passage of the UIGEA in 2006.

I’ve recently been in contact with the owners of several 5-star rated Real Time Gaming (RTG) online casinos, who assured me that their doors remain open to US-based real-money players. Of of these sites — Intertops — has served US players uninterrupted since 1996.

So, if you’ve been locked out of your favorite online casino, why not give these a try? You won’t be disappointed.

Best Online Keno Sites

Since I last updated my online keno article, there are a few new places to play online keno. And some places where online keno could be played have left the market. You’ll want to read the complete article for all the details about my analysis of online keno, but here are the highlights.

Summary:

  • The keno games from ParlayTop GameMicrogaming (MGS)RivalBetOnSoft (BOS), and VueTec are all better than average; each has an overall payout equal to or greater than about what you will find at a video keno machine in a land-based casino. (Click the previous links to view all online sites that run that software.)
  • The keno games from Party Gaming, 888, CGTV, and B3W are acceptable in terms of their payout percentage, but just barely.
  • Keno should not be played at online sites that run software from RTG, Grand Virtual, Bingo Entertainment Network, Wagerlogic, or Boss.

Recommended Sites:

  • Parlay bingo halls accept players from all states in the United States — For US players, Classic Keno is the best choice for 2- to 9-spot (excluding 8-spot) and Kenoland is the best choice for 11- to 15-spot players
  • Rival Gaming casinos accept players from most states in the United States — For US players, Vegas Jackpot Keno is the best choice for 8-spot players
  • VueTec casinos do not accept players from the United States — Best choice for 2- to 10-spot non-US players

Good luck and have fun playing online keno!
