Everest Casino

Everest Casino was launched in 1997 and the Everest team has gone on record as saying that they are dedicated to fair play and operational excellence. Over the last decade it has worked hard to live up to those claims, and is now well established as an online casino that provides an outstanding level of customer service and satisfaction.

You will need to download the Everest Casino software to play here, but this doesn’t take long because most games are downloaded separately the first time you play them, keeping the initial file size to a minimum. New players can take advantage of a generous Welcome Bonus, giving you plenty of cash that you can just to get to grips with the games on offer here.

The main lobby presents you with the latest Everest Casino news, shows you the featured game of the month and provides the total value of the jackpots that are currently available. You can click on the jackpot button to see a breakdown of exactly what each individual jackpot is worth, and this is handy if you want to home in on those games with the highest potential payouts.

The graphics here are very good and well animated where appropriate. Sound effects are perfectly suited to the on-screen events and are never so in-your face as to make themselves annoying. There is also ambient noise, but again this is so low-key that you will only notice it when you minimise the screen and suddenly realise that everything has gone quiet.

A settings menu allows you to adjust the Everest Casino experience to your taste. You can choose to mute or activate dealer voices, background music and digital sound effects individually, as well as play in full screen, standard screen or windowed screen modes. Another nice feature is the ability to pull up a comprehensive set of “Quick Rules” in the gaming screen itself, saving you the hassle of having to open up a separate browser window.

Games

There are more than 270 games here at Everest Casino, and this is a massive choice no matter which way you slice it. Whereas some online casino lobbies categorise games in an ugly tree-like structure, Everest Casino has a much nicer approach with seven tabs running across the screen. These tabs are named Blackjack, Roulette (and other table games), Solitaire (and other card games), Video Poker, Video Slots, Classic Slots and the rather vague Other Games, which includes things like Roshambo.

Card and table game enthusiasts get around 50 variations of blackjack, solitaire, pai gow, baccarat, sic bo, roulette and craps, to name just a few. Video poker players have 165 different machines that allow them to play one hand, four hands, nine hands or anything up to 500 hands simultaneously. Add scores of slots machines into the mix, as well as a couple of lottery-style games, and you have an extremely wide range of casino gaming opportunities to choose from.

Operator

The “operational excellence” that Everest Casino is committed to is most obviously apparent in the customer service it offers. The customer service team is on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you solve any problem or answer any casino-related query that isn’t already answered in the FAQ pages of the Everest Casino web site. To receive assistance, simply complete the online help form and let the customer service personnel do the rest.

Money

Everest Casino accept a number of different payment options, including credit cards, NETeller, Click2Pay and MoneyBookers. Security is incredibly tight, and Everest Casino keeps your information safe by taking a multi-faceted approach: 1) All data is encrypted using the 128-Bit SSL protocol prior to transmission; 2) Money is secured between the casino and the banks; 3) All data held by Everest Casino, including your personal information and gaming history, is securely protected; 4) Only certain staff members are given access to your information on a “needs must” basis, so your data will never be accidentally obtained by anyone.
