Coral Online Casino

Review

Coral is perhaps best known, historically, as one of the UK's big three high street bookies along with Ladbrokes and William Hills. They operate over 1100 licensed betting shops throughout the United Kingdom, as well as a substantial telephone betting operation, two greyhound racing stadia and, of course, an online betting business.

Eurobet was founded in the early 1990s and in 1995 became the first company to begin offering odds on the internet. Coral has a fully international service with thousands of customers from over 100 countries worldwide.

In December 1999 Eurobet merged with Coral, and since then company has grown further and has become recognized as being one of the leading global bookmakers

The online casino operation started in February 2002 but has failed to make the full impact that you would expect from such a big brand. Why is a puzzle. Perhaps the casino management have lacked the drive to fully harness the Internet, perhaps the required levels of investment were not forthcoming, or perhaps CoralEurobet decided to concentrate their efforts on their (very good) sports betting portal.

Whichever it is, a sign of their approach is that Coral don't offer a download casino, just a flash version using Chartwell software. But does this mean it is a bad casino? No, it doesn't...

Players will find the ability to play over 30 games almost instantly via a pop-up window (so you'll need to 'allow' pop-ups in the latest versions of Windows). Corals casino games include the UK casino favourites such as roulette, poker, four versions of black jack and an array of video slots. And you can choose to 'play for fun' or for real money (toggle between the two above the list of games).

A nice feature of this simple approach and the site is that you can play for fun without having to go through a tiresome sign-up routine - it's straight: select games, place bet, play. From this page it should only take you just four clicks to start a game, for example.

If you are playing for real, sign-up is equally as straight forward and you'll be comforted by the fact that the casino is licensed out of Gibraltar. Minimum deposit is just £5

Coral Casino offers £50 free to get you started, as well as £25 a month loyalty bonus. Simply open an account, then play using real money, and keep playing! You'll be notified that the £50 bonus has been automatically credited to your gaming account once you've played enough times to qualify for the bonus.
