Gibson Casino Review

Gibson Casino banking

Casino deposit options are as follows: Visa, MasterCard and paysafecard. Australians may pay in their local currency (AUD) and see their account balances in AUD. Sadly, bitcoins and other digital money are not accepted in Gibson Casino. As for minimum and maximum limits, they do exist but they are very friendly to Australians. Exact limits vary and are specified in the cashier for each particular method.

Players may cash out up to AU$1500 per request, minding the maximum monthly limit of AU$10,000. There is only bank transfer available for withdrawal and this method applies a mandatory transfer commission of AU$10 to AU$40. There is also what is referred to as “The x10 Rule” reading that any withdrawal should not exceed 10 times the initial deposit if that deposit is below $249. Lastly, Gibson is a legal and regulated online casino, therefore it applies stringent Know-Your-Customer procedures that suggest confirmation of player’s identity. In view of that, all withdrawals have a two-week processing period before being channeled to player’s bank account.

Gibson mobile casino

As many other casinos that run the Rival software platform, Gibson has a full-fledged mobile casino site with the same games as on desktop. The mobile casino preserves well the graphical beauty and Wild West stylistic and offers the same stunning welcome bonus as well as other promotions. Mobile users enjoy an instant play experience with browser access only (no download is needed).

Gibson casino games

The online casino runs software from Rival Gaming and offers more than 200 titles from this long-established company. Five-reel pokies count for about 150 titles in Gibson Casino and their number is constantly growing, because the provider tries to produce one new game each month.

Visually attractive, Rival pokies ensure flawless gaming experience that would cater to many Australian players. A typical pokie from Rival has just a few features that are used very often in pokies of other providers; these are wild substitutes (usually, without multipliers), payable scatters and free spins. Experience has shown that around a half of the collection sticks to the said approach. Pokies with only these features (wild, scatter, free spins) are:

• Chariots of Fire: max 8 free spins, the highest win is $2000
• Dog Pound Dollar: 15 free spins, the highest win is $50,000
• Dark Heart: three free spin modes to be selected by the player, max winning is $3125.

Some pokies created by Rival have one bonus round in which a player is asked to pick one or more items to determine the winning (usually, cash or free spins). Good examples of this kind of pokies are:

• Diamond Dragon: the bonus round is very simple. A player selects one of three diamonds on the same screen as the reels and wins cash
• Cleopatra’s Coins: In addition to a bonus game, the pokie has very generous combinations, the best one delivering up to $25,000. There is also a chance to grab 100 free spins
• Astral Rings: in the second-screen feature, a player has to spin astral rings to receive cash wins, the size of which is determined by two icons that land at the top position of the rings. The max potential win is $18,750.

There is a batch of about 30 three-reel pokies in Gibson. Avid casino fans interested in retro action with very few additional bonuses and special features should try Big Cash Win, Gold Bricks, Sensational Sixes and other successful classic pokies.

Progressive pokies in Gibson Casino

There are five progressive pokies in Gibson Casino, all released by Rival. The games below are listed in descending order of average jackpot win:

• Money Magic: an average jackpot size is $300,000
• Five Times Wins: $215,000
• Strike Gold: $44,000
• One Million Reels BC: $41,000
• Major Moolah: $13,000.

All the progressives are linked to each specific casino that offers the Rival collection, meaning different casinos have their unique rates of amassing jackpot pools. Major Moolah has the fastest-won jackpot as it is hit about every 20 days or so (depending on the online casino).

Table games in Gibson Casino

In addition to incredible pokies, Rival have worked their way up as a table game provider. They currently offer three variants of blackjack including Standard blackjack, Multi-Hand blackjack (both tables are nearly the same except that in the multi-hand variation players may split each of their 3 hands three times, which makes up 9 hands played at a time) and Mini Blackjack.

Rival’s European and American roulette has an attractive design and standard rules. There is a zoom-in view of the wheel as it spins, game speed adjustment and some other simple settings including sound control. The table max is set at $500 in both tables, while the min inside and outside bet is $1. Other stylish and elegant table games from Rival are craps, video poker, Red Dog and Pai Gow.

Gibson Casino: Key findings

Although the online casino is powered by a single provider, Rival, its game collection would be convincing and lucrative to many Australians thanks to high payouts and fun bonus features found in many Rival pokies. The program of promotions is below average in size but the welcome package is very good. In terms of payouts, the casino is reliable and has never been spotted in giving runarounds or denying cashout for no good reason. Verdict: Recommended to Australians.
