888 Casino Review

888 Casino is a site that needs no introduction. Having been established as a brand way back in 1997 it was one of the true pioneers of online gaming. Featuring a sportsbook and poker site accessible from the casino site, it’s the original award winning one stop shop. Owned by 888 Holdings plc, its part of the group that owns household names such as William Hill and Mr Green. 

The site itself is a pleasure to use offering an easily navigated layout that is uncluttered and clean. The green and black colour scheme is now iconic and the games are easily accessible from individual tabs or the search function. With over 2,000 titles to choose from and some of the top providers on the market at players’ fingertips, this has to rank as one of the most complete Ontario sites out there.

Games and Providers

888 Casino for Ontarians has stripped away a selection of game providers down to the premium software studios on the market. With in excess of 2,000 games from companies such as Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play‘n GO, Playtech and Big Time Gaming. Also offered are a great selection of  888 Exclusive games consisting of slots, jackpots, live casino, table games and even scratch cards.

When it comes to game genres offered from themselves and the industry’s top providers, no stone has been left unturned.

• Slots: Everything you would expect to find under this category is of course here. The latest video slots, classic slots, jackpots, Megaways and more. The filter system allows players to choose the game volatility, number of game lines, game studio and even themes. Looking for a Megaways fishing game from Pragmatic Play with High Volatility, then no problem at all!
• Table Games: For players who are into this type of offering they can choose from Blackjack games, Roulette, Baccarat, and Poker.
• Live Casino: Live dealer games have become hugely popular in recent years. For the bricks & mortar experience, dive into favourites such as Blackjack, Roulette, Poker and more. Industry leaders Evolution Gaming, Play Tech and 888 Exclusives can all be found here. 
• Other games: If that wasn’t enough then try some Bingo, Keno or Scratch Cards. Of course 888 being the behemoth that it is, there are direct links to their separate sportsbook and poker sites from the casino site itself. 

888 offers an App to both Apple & Android users for seamless play on the go. Desktop play is just as good with stunning visuals and smooth gameplay delivery.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Payment options are an important part of any casino setup,  and for Ontarians this is especially so. Localised methods and a decent choice of trusted methods is paramount. 

Players can deposit from as little as $10 using Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Interac e-Transfer, Much Better, Paysafe Card and the good old Bank Transfer. Withdrawals start from as low as $5 and can be done with all the deposit methods apart from Mastercard and Paysafe Card. The maximum withdrawal is $30,000 per month and of course Canadian Dollars, amongst other currencies, are supported. All payments are processed within 24 hours and players should receive their within 2-6 days. Credit cards/Bank Transfer taking a little longer than the others.

Summary

If it sounds as though we like 888 Casino then you’d be right. We love it. The history of the platform is enough to convince players that since 1997 this operator knows what they are doing. A super user friendly layout that allows everything to be filtered to find exactly what you want. A great library of over 2,000 games which is very large by Ontario standards, backed up with some of the industry’s best providers. Player security and responsible gaming is taken very seriously here and backed up with 24/7 Customer Support, there is very little not to like. To conclude, in our opinion it’s one of the best sites available to players from the province of Ontario. Give it a go and we are sure you’ll love it too.
