The online casino by the name of Fivestarcasino.com is one of the nicest casinos available online mainly because of the quick service it offers to the player which turns it into a friendly website to the player combining it's Boss Media software, with a variety of games and a unique comp system with rewards the player with a cash bonus which is granted to him as soon as he wins.
As far as bonuses go, there is an initial deposit bonus of 100%, which is a very high bonus in a comparison to other competitive online casinos.
The wagering requirement there is not to be compromised and is considered to be a very stiff one of 20 times the bonus PLUS 20 times the deposit.
Such requirements are becoming par for the course these days, so if you�re a bonus hunter, maybe this isn�t the casino for you. Leaving the deposit and bonuses aside, I have to mention that Boss Media casinos are damn pretty, and rock solid, reputation wise: Fivestarcasino.com is licensed in the Netherlands Antilles, its payout percentages are audited by a reputable third party (PricewaterhouseCoopers � 96.1% was the most recent overall payout number), and works personally with the Interactive Gaming Council. as regards to the games: If you�ve played at a Boss Media casino before, you�ll know what to expect: they always look excellent, play fast, and the software is very solid and reliable.
There�s a wealth of features such as banking and play history that are easily available, there are multiplayer and private tables on hand, and the crossing point is really nice � in Fivestar�s case, there�s what looks like a high class 70s club scene going on.
There is a variety of game selection, with all the usual staples such as Blackjack, Caribbean Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Craps and Keno, and more such as Casino War and American Roulette, Mini Baccarat and a decent selection of slots, including progressive Jackpot slots.
There is no European Roulette, however, which gives better odds, and there is only one video Poker � Jacks or Better. All things considered, the games themselves are pretty good. The last time i visited there, i played Caribbean Poker, and cleaned up, winning $1200 over a few dozen hands. If only I�d been playing with real money�.but then I probably wouldn�t have allowed myself to be so aggressive (anteing up $500 is a lot easier if it isn't real�.) But if you play for real money, you�ll find this is a game for the adventurous, with table limits of $5 - $500. Customer service is 24/7, but the toll-free phone line is only for North American customers � embarrassment. I guess you can't enjoy all worlds.... I would give Fivestarcasino.com four and a half stars � it�s very good, but doesn�t stand out much from the herd of (admittedly excellent) Boss Media casinos. I certainly did enjoy playing there. Next time, I�ll be playing for real money, and hope that maybe luck will be on my side again�
