Vegas Crest Casino Review

Due to the sheer number of online casino sites that exist, it is difficult to find a concept that will make you stand out from the crowd. One assumes that this is why Vegas Crest casino has made absolutely no effort to do so, either that, or there was a genuine decision made that not enough such sites had the word Vegas in their name yet. Whatever the reasoning, it happened, and we all have to live with that.

So, when you look past the lack of effort that went into its name, what lies ahead of us at Vegas Crest? Well, there are certainly some early signs that this site may be better than you initially assume, for example, you can play from the UK, Europe, or the USA in your local currency, which is nice.

Promotions tend to be pretty good, which is another tick in the positive column, they’re not amazing, you will find better if you look for it, but they’re okay, which is, well, also nice.

Design and theme

When it comes to a name that has been (one assumes) created in a meeting that took no longer than two and a half minutes, it’s hard to expect much amazing, but maybe you’ll be surprised.

Spoiler alert: You won’t be surprised. In fact, what you’ll get here is exactly what you expect, to such a startling degree that it is almost impressive in itself. A black and silver colour schemes, with yellow additions than are probably supposed to be gold, they’re not, they’re yellow, but at least they tried.

There’s a few slots on the homepage, everything is split into easy to understand sections making navigation simple, and the site isn’t necessarily unattractive. In fact, if the effort was to create a site so derivative that it is almost unique in its lack of originality, then Vegas Crest have absolutely nailed it. However, if the effort was to create something new, then that’s just awkward.

Games

When trying to make an impact, and clearly choosing not to do so with design work, a site needs to offer a good variety of games, and with software providers including BetSoft, Rival, Saucify, and Vista Gaming, Vegas Crest certainly does that.

There are some glaring omissions to this list, like NetEnt and Microgaming, that means a lot of the most popular games available elsewhere cannot be found here, but that isn’t always the worst thing if there is a good selection of lesser known games to discover.

There are some familiar titles here, The Slotfather and My Vegas (obviously) to name but two, but for the most part the collection of slot titles is going to appeal to either new players, or those who are starting to tire of the same games over and over again.

Table and card games are here in abundance, roulette, poker, and blackjack in many forms as well as a good amount of other table games.

Often you will see a site stop here in terms of gaming options, but in an unexpected turn up for the books, Vegas Crest doesn’t do that, instead you have many other choices here that include keno, bingo, and a handful of scratchcard games.

The fact that there are so many different types of game to choose from is certainly a major positive for Vegas Crest, but it simply isn’t enough when you take everything else into account.

With a few more popular slots, and a substantially better design concept, you could even keep the name, Vegas Crest would still be substantially better than the average site that it is.
