COOL CASINOS

(177) (27-jul-06)

Plenty of experience behind this newcomer

New, well funded and managed, "big" online casinos have become something of a rarity these days, but this week saw the launch of Grand Monaco Casino.com , a Microgaming-powered property owned by a partnership called Grand Gaming Group and licensed in Kahnawake.  As you might expect with a new venue coming from the studios of one of the industry's top providers this online casino has all the bells and whistles, including the much-discussed EZ Bonus system which, so they say, is designed to take the pain out of bonus hunting!

It's nice to see upfront identification a la 32Red of manager Frank Thompson and general manager Lou Kelmanson who have together amassed a wealth of online casino management experience with major groups like Fortune Lounge.  Kelmanson was well thought of as the manager for poker operations at Royal Vegas until his departure to pursue his own business interests last year.

The new operation has a Flash and download gambling suite of some 250 top quality and latest technology games, backed by fully contactable, round-the-clock Support and a large selection of financial options through Proc-Cyber. The presentation is highly professional and the site carries Playcheck, Cashcheck, a G3 Rewards Club and is currently recruiting experienced affiliates to boost its own marketing efforts, which we're told are well funded.

Introductory bonuses are on offer involving matchplays maxed at $150 or $75 depending on which games are played, but readers are advised to study carefully the intricacies of the bonus T&Cs in particular.
