Reel Island Review
Reel Island is a brand new online casino site. Stepping into to a highly competitive market, it is necessary for Reel Island to do something special to set itself apart. Through its promotions, bonuses and selection of games, it has certainly tried to do that.
As the name may suggest, Reel Island is slots based but certainly not slots exclusive as there are many other game types available. The site claims to have the biggest selection of games around and it is hard to argue.
Design wise the site is pleasingly simple, no over the top gimmicks or noise and flashing images, Reel Island clearly intends to let the games speak for themselves, but do the games speak loud enough?
Games
NetEnt, Thunderkick, Elk Studios and NextGen are all well represented in the slots that are available at Reel Island. It is easy to believe their claim that they have the largest selection of games around based solely on the huge variety of slots on offer on the site.
However, a sole slot focus wouldn’t cut it for a new site and there seems to be an understanding of that, so Reel Island offers a host of other games for newbies and veterans to enjoy.
Casino classics come in many forms, a variety of Blackjack, Pontoon, Roulette, Baccarat and Poker games amongst many others are available. The Live Casino is currently restricted to Roulette and Blackjack but one hopes that will change in time. Bingo games are also on offer including Barbados Bingo, Keno and Studio1 Bingo. Whichever gaming type you prefer, you are likely to find it at Reel Island.
Withdrawals and deposits
The main weakness that Reel Island has is that they do not currently have a mobile billing or PayPal option, which can put off many players.
The maximum deposit limit per day is £2,000, which should be enough for most but if you validate your account with ID then this limit can be relaxed for those who prefer higher stake playing. A minimum withdrawal amount of £30 should also keep most players happy.
All in all Reel Island has made a solid effort to join the fight for online casino supremacy. It can be expected that the site will continue to find new custom from those attracted by the huge choice of games and the impressive list of promotions on offer.
There are certain things that will need to be added or changed in the near future (mobile billing and expanding the Live Casino to name but two), but if this happens, then Reel Island could really start to make waves and make a big impact on the online casino scene.
