PlayAmo Casino Review

Online pokies and table games in PlayAmo

The casino stands out from its peers for a big assortment of instant-play online pokies and vendors. As of writing this review, players were offered around 1200 games, and increasing, from 12 software makers such as Betsoft, iSoftBet, IGTech, Lucky, BGaming, EGT, Habanero, Belatra, Booming Games, Endorphina, MrSlotty and Platipus. The games are broken down by the following categories: New, Slots, Blackjack, Roulette Games, Bitcoin Games and Live Casino. For some reason, no dedicated categories are set for baccarat, scratch cards and some other game types but you can find them in the Game Lobby tab that displays the entire game suite. As an option, type in, for example, “baccarat” in the search field above the game list and the casino software would show all titles containing the word “baccarat”. When doing research, our experts have not found craps in the casino.

Hovering over a game icon, you would see the Play For Fun and Play Now buttons. If you want a practice play without spending a penny, click the former. If you intend to play for real money and try to win real cash, choose the Play Now option.

Considering an excellent diversity of providers, there is no wonder pokies are presented in all possible variations and aspects. There are lots of five-reel games with jaw-dropping animations, a small number of classic slots with retro fruit symbols, and also a couple of progressive pokies which, inexplicably, are not grouped in a specific category for easy spotting. Pokies with a progressive jackpot are contained mixed with all other pokies but they are marked with a “Jackpot” tag and a current jackpot value. Actually, it is not easy to single out a progressive game, unless you know its title and can thus find it via the search field.

Contrary to instant play online slots, table games are not abundant at all. Blackjack is available in a couple of variants such as European and American blackjack, Single-deck blackjack and Multihand blackjack. A rare Surrender option, which increases the player’s odds, is found in Blackjack Surrender from BGaming, while enthusiasts of side bets can try 21 Burn and Super 7 from Betsoft. The selection of roulette is also on the low side, with about 10 regular (non-live) tables such as classic European, American and French roulette games with different bet ranges ($1 to $1000).

In summary, it can be said that PlayAmo is very very good in what related to pokies but its table games offer remains wanting. Besides, the presentation of categories could have been done much better that it is because some important game types are missing.

Two welcome bonuses in PlayAmo

The first welcome bonus gets unlocked on depositing 25 AUD (or greater) and entering a bonus code (look for the bonus code on the Promotions page of the casino website). The first welcome bonus provides a 100% match up to 500 AUD plus you get 100 free spins to be released for five consecutive days, 20 free spins every day. Mind that the max bet while the bonus is active cannot go over 6.5 AUD. The wagering requirements for the welcome package, including the second welcome bonus, is x50. The second bonus is a 50% match up to 500 AUD and it has the same terms and conditions as the first one. Wagering requirements can be accomplished in every game but remember that game types contribute differently: Pokies count as 100%, except these in the Excluded Games list, and other games contribute 5%. Only live games do not count towards bonus wagering.

Special online bonus for high rollers

If you prefer to play big, here is a generous gift for you from PlayAmo. Deposit at least 1500 AUD as an ante-up and enjoy a 50% bonus up to 3000 AUD. Other terms and conditions are the same as explained for the welcome package, except for free spins that are not granted for the High-Roller promo.

Monday Free Spins and Friday Reload Bonus

Every time you top up your account with 25-75 AUD on Monday, you get 20 free spins on Fruit Zen and Hotline pokie. A deposit ranging from 75 AUD to 125 AUD gives you 50 free spins on the same pokies as above, and all greater deposits unleash 100 free spins. All winnings obtained from free spins must be wagered x50 times.

On Fridays, players who make a qualifying deposit (25 AUD) are offered to claim a reload 50% bonus up to 250 AUD, which are further complemented by 100 free spins on a 5-reel 20-payline Fire Lightning pokie from BGaming.

In conclusion, the bonus program in PlayAmo is medium-sized by today’s standards, and it is rather focused on those gamblers who like free spins.

The Table Battle

Not many online casinos bother with special activities for table game fans. In PlayAmo, they can participate in a weekly Table Battle tournament that has a very simple principle in its basis. Players who bet real money on table games are automatically added 1 point for every $1 bet. At the end of the week, the points collected are totaled up and the best 25 players get into the leaderboard and divvy up the 1500 AUD prize pool – the highest scoring gambler gets 300 AUD, the next gambler down the table is awarded 200 AUD, and so on. The prize money must be cleared by a x3 wagering before they appear on the real-money account of each winning player.

Weekend Tournament

The tournament runs in a pokie-races format where every $1 wagered on pokies gets converted into 1 bonus point. Having a prize pool of 5500 AUD, the tournament starts on Friday and tallies up on Monday. Forty players who score higher receive cash, while the next 10 players on the leaderboard get 100 to 130 free spins each. All race prizes must be wagered x3 times.

Live casino games in PlayAmo

Live games run on the Evolution Gaming platform, one of the best and most powerful in the industry. Available for real money only, the tables offer a motley gameplay with various bet ranges ($1 up to $5000 for heavy punters). Live games include over a dozen unique blackjack variants, roulette games and baccarat, all managed by professional dealers and streamed in real time. The live games lobby is open for registered players.

PlayAmo mobile casino

The casino is adapted for mobile play on iOS and Android mobile devices. It has no dedicated mobile site but it performs very well in all aspects. PlayAmo offers you the best in mobile casino gambling with the craziest fun, state-of-the-art games, spectacular promotions and the best customer service. You can play casino games on the go, enjoy a wide range of casino options and effect payments to and from the casino account.

PlayAmo VIP Program

As in many other casinos, the VIP system in PlayAmo is widely based on collecting loyalty points that are credited at a fixed rate against real money bets. Every bet in pokies brings you 1 point. The Program has 10 levels and reaching each subsequent level up the ladder gives a certain number of free spins, for example, 15 free spins on VIP Level 2 and 125 free spins on Level 5. As you might have guessed, the points can be converted back to money (100 points for 1.25 AUD). Climbing to the supreme, Level 10 “Godlike”, awards a Ferrari 488 GTB – this will be delivered to your door upon accumulating 5.000.000 loyalty points. VIP statuses give no other tangible privileges rather than free spins.

Bottom line on PlayAmo online casino

Pokie buffs would give the highest scores to the online casino thanks to an extremely large representation of pokies from 12 providers. Table games are not numerous but PlayAmo is one of very few venues to have developed a tournament involving table games. The bonus program is also OK, but only deposit/reload bonuses and free spins are provided. The mobile casino is worth special mention for its friendly and excellent design, coupled with numerous mobile games.
