Casino Midas

Casino Midas overview

Casino Midas is an online gaming site specializing in video slots. They offer 250 total games, including slots, Keno, video poker and table games like blackjack and roulette. Established in 2012, Midas Entertainment is licensed in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles and located at Emancipatie Boulevard 29, Curacao. Minimum age to play live money is 18.

Roulette and casino games

There are approximately 250 games to choose from at Casino Midas. Realtime gaming provides smooth play, and realistic action is found on all video slots. Popular land-based games like Texas Tycoon, T-Rex, Aztec’s Treasure, Pay Dirt and Coyote Cash all play without any issues. There are also 3-reel and 5-reel games, including Food Fight, which is very popular right now. The multi-line games can be played in many denominations. In addition, progressive slots are linked to the Realtime Gaming progressive slots network so the jackpots are substantial.

Keno is offered as a video slot, with bets from €/$1-10. Multiple games can be played while you do other things. Video poker games are also available, with 15 varieties like American Poker, Joker Poker, Jack’s or Better and Deuces Wild. A very modest house edge is found, as many games have 6/9 pay-tables (payout of 6 to 1 on flushes and 9 to 1 on full houses). Games are available as single-line up to 52-line wagers.

There are also several video table games, with odds similar to land-based casinos. The game graphics are good, typical of Realtime gaming. Vegas Three Card Rummy, Pontoon, Caribbean Stud and others are a click away. Blackjack, craps and roulette are also offered.

Roulette comes in two basic styles: American, with a double-zero wheel, and European, with a single zero and a separate betting track for neighbors, orphans etc. Spins take just a few seconds, with about a half-dozen revolutions, and a reader board shows past winning numbers. A “rebet” button works for the standard layout only, not the European wagers.

Banking and withdrawals

You can initiate a cash-out at any time, but if you still have a bonus pending, your cash-out may be denied because you have used bonus funds and the rollover has not been met. Read all the fine print and you should be alright. If you plan to withdraw funds in the future, do yourself a favor and verify your ID and address right away, since this will take several days. Once you are verified, a cash out takes 4-5 business days. No, you can’t make it go faster by calling. They will verify your play records, check your bonus rollover records, and then release your funds to your original deposit instrument if possible. Web-wallets like Neteller and Skrill work best. There is a €/$3,000 per week maximum withdrawal, including funds won on jackpots. That means if you are lucky enough to whack the casino for a substantial amount (say five-figures) it can take a while to get all your cash. Patience is a virtue.

Safety and security

Casino Midas is fully licensed and regulated by the government of Curacao. The casino has been deemed safe as it utilises Rapid SSL encryption to protect Roulette players’ personal data. The gambling site also uses cookies to create a better user experience. Unlike most RTG casinos, Casino Midas doesn’t accept players from the United States.

Mobile experience

For fun on the go, Casino Midas can be accessed from mobile and tablet devices. The new mobile site includes an impressive lobby, easy navigation menu including deposit and withdrawal options, and plenty of bonuses and promotions exclusively for mobile casino users. The mobile platform is available in English, Italian, Spanish and German. The casino doesn’t require the download of any apps. Roulette players can get to the casino through their device’s browser. The Casino Midas platform supports all operating systems; iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows. What’s more, you can get 200% extra up to 600 credits on your first mobile deposit using a specific code supplied the casino.

Bonuses and promotions

Casino Midas offers a number of different bonuses for new players. If you play mostly slots, you can take the largest bonus which is a 100% match of your funds up to €/$3,333 taken in increments. Another bonus is 200% up to €/$500, where I was able to play any of the games offered. Make sure you read all of the terms and conditions that accompany any bonus or promotions. Online casinos offer these to entice players, but the requirements can be confusing.

Currently, the main Welcome Bonus is for players making their first, second and third deposits. The minimum single deposit is €/$20. You can also click “Cancel Bonus” in the redeem coupon section of the cashier if you don’t want to be bound by any bonus requirements.

All bonuses are non-redeemable (sometimes called “sticky bonuses”). They are deposited immediately for you to use, but can never be cashed-out. Any winnings from their use are yours to keep, after meeting the rollover requirements. In this case, you must play your deposit and bonus 25-times to qualify. That means if you deposit €/$100 and get €/$200 in bonus play, you’ll have to play 25-times €/$300 for a total of €/$7500 in action. Slots and Keno count at 100%, but card games count only 25% and video poker is just 10%

For roulette players, the rate is 50%, so you’ll have to play twice as much, or €/$15,000 from the example above. If you are playing a continuous system like the d’Alembert or the Wells Pendulum, you’ll be in good shape, as your total wagers will add up quickly. You’ll also be able to use many other roulette systems, but the Martingale and Grand Martingale may be problematic.

With the Martingale you will be investing increasing amounts on even-money only wagers, and the casino may consider this to be a way of circumventing their play requirements, even if you have met all the rules. You should inquire with Support if you wish to continue with this system – or risk being disappointed.

Bonus funds will expire after 30 days of no activity on your account.

Complimentary Play

A nice thing about Casino Midas is that they award complimentary points (money) into your account based on your play. For every €/$10 in wagers that you make, you receive 1 comp point. When you have accumulated 500 points they will deposit €/$5 back into your account! The Slots Special Club awards double the points for play.

In addition, after you have accumulated more than 3,000 points, your exchange rate goes to 9 points for €/$1. At 20,000 points it drops to 8 points per unit.

Game selection

Regrettably, Casino Midas doesn’t have the best selection of Roulette games, having only two editions of the game, that of American and European Roulette. The casino has a better range of Blackjack and an excellent series of five and three-reel slots, as well as Video Poker machines, including Multihand Video Poker.

Casino software

Realtime Gaming powers casino Midas. The casino lobby features the entire Realtime Gaming catalogue of games, some of which you can access in Instant Play, that is in your device’s browser. However, it’s only the downloadable version of the casino which has all the games.

Currencies

Casino Midas is an international casino which welcomes various currencies, such as American Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars. The casino also accepts a diverse range of payment methods, including Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards, popular e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and prepaid cards like Paysafecard and Entropay. The minimum deposit at this casino is 20 credits.

Jackpot games

Unfortunately, Casino Midas doesn’t seem to have a category for progressive jackpot games. On the site’s homepage, you will find a list of a couple of jackpot slots on offer with prizes ranging in the millions. These include Jackpot Pinatas, Megasaur, Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold, Aztec Millions, Shopping Spree II and the Spirit of the Inca series.

How the casino is rated

Casino Midas certainly has some good qualities, receiving some very high marks in most areas. The casino’s selection of Roulette is very disappointing, but their range of slots makes up for this lack of table games. There aren’t any Live Dealer Games either which brings down their overall score. On a more positive note, the casino has some top security protocols in place which they evidently pride themselves on.

For non-American Realtime Gaming fans, Casino Midas is a safe and secure place for your deposits.

Promotion details

Overview

The website offers support and links to 13 different languages (Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian and Turkish), so players from many locations can enjoy their games.  Restricted countries include Israel, France and the United States. Currencies accepted are Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, South African Rand, and US Dollars.

Support is available 24 hours per day via Live Chat, which I connected to easily in about 45 seconds. You can also telephone – +33 8 05 10 10 94 and – +44 800-2792969. Email is [email protected]

System Requirements

Online casinos offer smaller downloads these days in comparison to the bulky software once used. Casino Midas uses RTG (Real Time Gaming) software in a small download, as well as mini-downloads that take about 20-seconds to play games in your browser. Before joining, players may even click on individual games to check them out and play them in Free Play mode. Instant play is Apple Mac compatible.

Some minimum system requirements include Windows XP/Vista/ 7 or newer, 800 MHz Pentium III or equivalent AMD Athlon processor, 32 MB internal video card, 200 MB available HD space, 512 MB RAM (1 GB required for Windows Vista/Windows 7 users), Broadband internet connection and 800×600 minimum display resolution.

For Instant Play, the minimum Adobe Flash Player requirement is version 10.2.0 – and newer is even better. All games use 128-bit encryption and SSL certificates to ensure the complete security of your personal and banking information. I had no problem with Windows 8 or Vista, using the Instant Play or the standard download.

Getting Started

Once you have accessed the website, Casino Midas information and games are available at the click of your mouse. Play the games in Instant Play (Free mode) to see how they look and then consider which Bonus (see below) gives you the best value, but all are above average. You’ll also need to choose your language and connect via the URL that fits you best.

The download should take no more than a minute and you’ll be prompted to make a cash deposit and setup a player account to take advantage of a bonus.

Make sure you enter your personal information correctly, as you will be asked at a later time (when you are ready, or when you withdraw funds) to verify your ID and address. Deposits can be made with a host of options such as Neteller, Skrill, Visa, MasterCard, Bank Transfers (take the longest) and Ukash.  Credit card deposits may be charged a small fee.

Expect e-Wallets to be almost instant, but a few may take 24-hours for cash to be available in your account.
