Euro Grand is another option (of very few) for online casino holdem players. Like Casino.com, Euro Grand uses Playtech Software and does not accept American players. They also have mobile versions of their software, as well as a browser version for Mac users.
The rest of this page will explain the things that distinguish Euro Grand from other online casinos that offer casino holdem, including the software, promotions and banking. Take a look to see if Euro Grand is the right casino for you.
Playing Casino Holdem at EuroGrand.com
The software at Euro Grand looks good. It feels like you’re standing over a real table in a brick and mortar casino. Just like Casino.com the table (felt) and outer rail is black with an inner gold rail.
At the top of the window you’ll notice that you can control your sound and download the software. This is helpful, but at the same time it lacks the navigational abilities that Casino.com has. Casino.com’s software has a full menu at the top so that you can go from one game to the next within the same window. Minor complaint I guess, but the additional menu is convenient nonetheless.
The casino holdem game itself is solid, as expected. The table minimum is $1 and maximum is $100. The maximum is (much) smaller compared to other online casinos. The chip dominations are .1, .5, 1, 5, 10, 25 and 100.
Here are the payout scales for casino holdem:
AA Bet
- Royal Flush – 100:1
- Straight Flush – 50:1
- 4 of a Kind – 40:1
- Full House – 30:1
- Flush – 20:1
- Straight or Lower – 7:1
Ante Bet
- Royal Flush – 100:1
- Straight Flush – 20:1
- 4 of a Kind – 10:1
- Full House – 3:1
- Flush – 2:1
- Straight or Lower – 1:1
The odds are the same as what you’ll find at other casinos.
Other Casino Games at Euro Grand Casino
There are plenty of other casinos games to play at Euro Grand if you ever get tired of casino holdem. Here is an overview of the games available.
- Table Games – Blackjack, roulette, caribbean stud, sic bo and live dealer games.
- Slots – Progressives, multi-lines, video, classic and themes including The Hulk, Rocky and X-Men.
- Video Poker – Jacks or better, deuces wild, joker poker and 50-line jacks or better.
- Live dealer – These games use a live dealer via web-cam instead of a dealer ran by a program.
If you’re into progressive jackpots, you’ll have no trouble finding them at Euro Grand. At the time of this review (October 2012), the total amount of all the progressive jackpots is over $5 million. Several jackpots are in the six-figure range.
Euro Grand Promotions
There are several ongoing promotions at Euro Grand. The following are brief descriptions for the most current and consistent ones.
€24 to €1000 Welcome Bonus
Euro Grand offers all new players a 100% match bonus. Here are your options:
- 100% up to €24 – minimum deposit of €10
- 300% up to €300 – minimum deposit of €25
- €600 – minimum deposit of €300
- €1000 – minimum deposit of €2000
Keep in mind that these bonuses are not for withdrawing, but only for playing. As soon as you make a withdrawal any remaining bonus money will be removed from your account. To collect your winnings you’ll need to rollover the deposit plus bonus 12 times. For example, if you were to deposit €100, you’d need to rollover €200 12 times (€100 deposit + €100 bonus) for a total of €2,400.
Important: Casino holdem will only contribute to 25% of your bonus. That means you’ll need to play 4x as much.
2nd Deposit Bonus
Your second deposit bonus is a 60% match up to €500. This requires a min-deposit of €10. The rollover requirements (12x) and the games that apply are the same as above.
Refer-a-Friend
Receive a free €50 every time you refer a friend to Euro Grand Casino. Keep in mind that your friend(s) must deposit and play €50 of their deposit (bonus). Your play through requirements are the same as listed above.
Comp Points & VIP Program
As a real money player, you are automatically entered into Euro Grand’s VIP program. You will earn 1 point for every €1 wagered. Every 1,000 points that you earn can be exchanged for €1 of real play.
VIP members will receive benefits such as bonuses, higher table limits, earning points faster and special gifts.
Banking Options at Euro Grand Casino
Euro Grand provides numerous options for making deposits. Here is a handful of the most popular ones:
- Visa/MasterCard
- NETeller
- Swiff
- PayPal
- Pay Safe Card
- Eco
- UKash
Withdrawals can be made using many of the same deposit methods, in addition to bank drafts.
Support
The support staff at Euro Grand can be contacted via email, live chat, fax and phone.
If you’d like to contact them via email, you can do so using this address: [email protected].
Here are the phone numbers that you can use:
- Canada Toll Free: 1-866-200-2169
- UK Free phone: 0808-1203-507
- International: +632-756-7881
I didn’t have to contact Euro Grand for this review, but from my experience live chat is the fastest option for getting help followed by support by phone.
Conclusion
I would have no problem depositing my own money at Euro Grand (if they accepted US players). Their software looks good and they have multiple options for banking and contacting support. And since casino holdem actually applies to the completion of the deposit bonuses, I prefer Euro Grand over Casino.com.
