Miami Paradise Casino Review
Updated 31 August 2007
Reviewed by Brian
Miami Paradise Casino is another member of the Golden Riviera group, licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Similar to Golden Riviera Casino, their marketing director can use a few lessons in building and maintaining brands, but having learned to expect this from Golden Riviera Casino, I wasn't as disoriented when I hit the French flag on the Miami Paradise Casino website. I would have hit the British one, but there actually wasn't one, which begged the question "Are my pounds welcome here?" First, I dug through the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) which suggested that the dollar ($) and euro (EURO) can be used interchangeably, but neglected to mention our precious pounds (£).
So, I got on the Live Chat to Miami Paradise Casino's customer support. When this failed to function properly in my Opera web browser, I opened Microsoft Internet Explorer and tried again with success. Max was immediately there to take my questions. Max informed me that I was only allowed to wager in the currency of my "jurisdiction". I informed him that I am from the United Kingdom, but on holiday in Budapest for a week. He informed me that I could wager in pounds, but if I registered in Budapest, I would not be eligible for any bonuses. I asked him whether I could collect bonuses if I waited until I returned to the UK and he confirmed that I could.
Bonus and Promotions
Miami Paradise Casino is offering a £750 no deposit welcome bonus, good for one hour of free play. You'll be eligible to claim anything you win over these initial credits, up to £125 of winnings as bonus once you've deposited £30 and wagered this ten times. If you don't claim any winnings from the free play, you can alternatively claim a 150% match on your initial deposit. Max informed me, that when you play with pounds, this is only up to £75. However, for all bonuses other than the initial welcome bonuses, the same policies should apply for £ as for $ and EURO, if not otherwise specified.
The list of other promotions at Miami Paradise Casino is in urgent need of updating, as the top two of out of four listed expired last July. However, that still leaves two exciting promotions for you to participate in. First, Miamia Paradise Casino has Slots Tournaments every week. Prizes are awarded to the patrons who wager the most, with the grand prize winner each week winning £250. Second, if you're a lady - and I have no idea if transvestites can apply for this - every Tuesday is Ladies night. If you purchase £20, you can claim a bonus of an additional £10. However, you may only claim this bonus once.
Bonuses must be wagered 30 times. There is an additional requirement to make 100 bets on your first purchase. Different games count differently towards meeting wagering requirements.
Over 200 Games
Miami Paradise Casino is powered by MicroGaming and has been certified by eCOGRA in July 2007 as having a 95.25% payout on all games. Miami Paradise Casino offers over 80 games and you can either download the suite or you can play instantly with the Adobe Flash games. Poker games, with a payout of 97.44% are your best bet and Miami Paradise Casino has many poker games to choose from. You can play 3 Card Poker Gold, Progressive Cyberstud Poker, or Poker Pursuit at the tables, or you can play Aces and Faces 100 Pay, Bonus Deuces Wild, or SupaJax at the video poker machines. If you'd prefer other table games, Miami Paradise Casino also offers American Roulette, Baccarat, Multi-Hand Classic Blackjack Gold, Super Fun 21 Blackjack Gold, Triple 7's Blackjack and Vegas. If you'd rather play the slots, you'll find reel slots such as Double Magic, Fantastic 7's, and Jackpot Express, as well as video slots such as Kathmandu, Lady of the Orient, and Magic Spell. Other Amusements With Prizes (AWP) include Cash 'n' Curry, Game On!, and Pub Fruity. You can also play MegaSpin games such as MegaSpin Double Magic, MegaSpin High 5, and MegaSpin Prog. Major Millions. For a more unique experience, you can play Keno.
At present, Miami Paradise Casino is offering over $5,000,000 (£2,500,000) in progressive jackpots. Cash Splash and Lots a Loot each have jackpot of over £10,000 while Major Millions is ready to give away over £150,000. Paul B. won nearly $18,000 (£9,000) between July 2007 and August 2007.
Loyalty
At Miami Paradise Casino, you'll earn a point for every £10 wagered, or 3 points for every £10 wagered at the slots. Points can be redeemed at any time, once you've reached the 500 points needed to convert to 1 free casino chip. However, you'll find your conversion ratio improves as you accumulate more chips. 50,000 points can be converted to 200 free casino chips.
Banking
Miami Paradise Casino makes banking easy by providing several methods to deposit funds. Moreover, you can receive bonuses from Miami Paradise Casino by using alternative purchasing methods. You will receive 15% when you use either Neteller or NETeller Instacash. You'll receive 10% when you use either Click2Pay or on FirePay purchases of £50 or more. Miami Paradise Casino is the only casino I've yet encountered to offer any bonus for using credit cards, such as MasterCard or Visa, and they offer 5%. Miami Paradise Casino also accepts deposits from PrePaidATM, Wire Transfer, and EziPay. When you've decided to cash in your chips, you can receive your money through Wire Transfer, ACH, Bank Draft, NETeller, or PrePaidATM.
Security
Players at Miami Paradise Casino are protected by the latest advanced security.
Customer Support
In addition to Miami Paradise Casino's prompt, courteous, and informative live chat support, customer service can be reached by a toll free phone number or through e-mail.
Conclusion
Miami Paradise Casino is a reputable and professionally run casino. While their webmaster seems not to telecommute from his holiday and some of the promotional offers are old, the on-going 5% bonus for using your credit card is a rare treat for those who both are able-to and prefer-to handle their banking directly. Miami Paradise Casino is going to give a lot of loot to someone... start by participating in their free play and next thing you know, it could be you.
