Rockbet Casino Review

Video pokies in Rockbet Casino

Rival, a Cyprus-headquartered company, has released over 250 video pokies since their inception in 2005. Offering both downloadable and browser-based pokies, Rival keep an eye on gambling market trends and attempt to release truly interesting games. Actually, most of their games are basic and contain just two or three bonus features. This does not however mean that their games are bad or frugal; just on the contrary, their pokies have high return to player (over 94.5% in most cases).

But graphic-wise most of their games are fairly mediocre and lack that kind of detailed polish that players tend to opt for. However, their recent releases show a dramatic shift to better graphical efforts. For example, their recent pokie, Wrath of Medusa creates an immersive atmosphere of the known Greek myth and moves the player through different settings, from a decrepit stone temple to Medusa’s lair. The pokie features an expanding wild and free spins in addition to graphics with a high level of detail.

A Scary Rich series of three pokies has long been popular among Australian players due to high payouts and unusual mixture of themes, deadly monsters and scared stiff guys. The first horror-themed pokie of the series shows ugly pumpkins, scary zombies, witches, graveyard skeletons and other frightening characters. The pokie has a wild multiplier up to x4, expanding wilds, free spins and the max win of 10,000 coins up for grabs ($25,000 at max). Scary Rich II, released a year after the first game, boasts of improved animations, symbol animation sounds and the same level of payouts. The final, third part of the series, is the culmination of the most horrific things. A player will join a group of friends trapped in a haunted house. Scary Rich III has a very high volatility and very big wins that are further boosted by a wild multiplier of x10.

Most prominent pokie features in Rockbet Casino

Australians are offered to try a few games with a Drop Icons feature. In the Smoking Gun pokie, a player is asked to protect a town from bandits. When a free spin bonus is triggered, the player would make a pick from three options: Cherokee Will with 10 FS and Exploding Sticky Wilds, Doc Holiday with 10 FS and Ricochet Drop Icons, or Jesse Jamison with 10 FS and Galloping Expanding Wilds. Other games with Drop Icons are Lucky Labyrinth and Ten Suns, among others.

While the overwhelming majority of Rival pokies do pay out from left to right, there are at least three pokies in which combos award in both directions, thus increasing the chance of winning big. A notable “Win Both Ways” pokie is Misfit Toyland. This is a 243-ways Christmas pokie with three Super Rounds, expanding wilds and more.

Rockbet Casino is home to over 25 pokies with three reels, some of which are very imaginative and impressive as compared with purely retro slot machines. A low-volatility Midas Touch pokie has a Greek mythological twist, three fixed paylines and a wild symbol. The max payout reaches an astounding $30,000. Another pokie interprets a famous idiom in a very literal way, offering a three-reel Milk the Cash Cow pokie with Bars, buckets full of coins and stacks of cash. The maximum potential loot is 10,000 coins ($100k at max). Other prominent 3-reel pokies that would appeal to AU players are Megawins, Surf Paradise and Ten Times Wins.

Table games in Rockbet Casino

Concentrating their gambling efforts on pokies, Rival comes up with very few table games. Blackjack fans will find in Rockbet Casino only three variants:

• Standard Blackjack
• Multi-Hand Blackjack (the same as above but a player may wager on 3 hands at a time) and
• Mini Blackjack.

Roulette is available in two versions only: European and American layouts. Of note, though this is not a great selection at all, roulette fans will find these games to be of high quality and feature good graphics in addition to a few useful player settings.

Rockbet Casino bonuses for Australian players

There are two bonuses active as of now and a loyalty program. Newcomers get a 400% first deposit bonus up to $2000 on depositing at least $30. Before the bonus money can be cashed out, the WR of x35 must be met in full.

As an alternative to the above, a newly minted player may claim a 100% Cashback Insurance on table games. To claim it, an interested player should contact an agent via live chat, request that bonus, deposit the minimum of $30 and play table games. If the house happens to win, with the player’s initial balance dropping to zero, the player will receive 100% cashback with the WR of x1 (max withdrawable amount is x10).

The loyalty program is nothing exceptional. It revolves around earning comp points and provides a few benefits upon moving to the next up level.

Rockbet Casino: Key findings

A reliable, legal online casino powered by Rival. It features a small bonus program with a great Cashback option. In terms of pokies, the casino is very good yet the number of table games remains wanting. Fair payouts and proven game integrity make it possible to suggest Australians play in Rockbet Casino.
