Chance Hill Casino is a ‘hot off the presses’ online casino that’s powered by the casino experts at MT Securetrade. It’s one of a number of fabulous online casinos that have been provided by MT Securetrade, a company that is based in Malta. Other online casinos brought into existence by MT Securetrade include the amazing Cashmio Casino, plus other great names like Casinoland and Rizk Casino. Like all MT’s casino, Chance Hill Casino is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and for casino players in the UK, the UK Gambling Commission.
This online casino says it was pieced together by a group of ‘young gaming enthusiasts’ in Madrid, Spain, in late 2015.
Welcome bonus
The welcome bonus that has been cooked up by Chance Hill Casino is one of the tastiest you’re ever likely to encounter – a two hundred percent welcome bonus that could be worth up to a massive £100! That’s a ton of free bonus cash just ready to be collected.
There are not too many hoops to jump through in order for you to get your gambling mitts on your welcome bonus. The minimum deposit you need to make is £10 (for which you would receive a £20 bonus) and the wagering conditions are just forty times the value of the bonus you acquire. The maximum bet you can make while meeting play-through expectations is £6.
Note that this bonus is for UK registered players only. If you are from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria or Switzerland then your welcome bonus is a one hundred percent welcome bonus up to a maximum of €100. If you are from a country that has not so far been mentioned then the chance are you might not be eligible for a welcome bonus of any description, but you can check with support here in order to find out. If you are from Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Croatia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Bosnia & Herzegovia, Albania or Thailand then you definitely are not eligible for a welcome bonus – sorry!
As has become the norm for online casinos, deposits made using Neteller or Skrill will not be eligible for a welcome bonus. Only slots count towards your wagering needs, and not all of them. There’s a long list of slots that only contribute fifty percent towards wagering requirements, and another long list of slots that do not count at all. Make sure you check the welcome bonus T&Cs so you don’t start playing on a slot that makes zero contribution. One thing is certain though – neither table games nor video poker games make any contribution towards your play-through expectations.
You have thirty days from the award of your bonus to complete your wagering requirements. If you fail to do so, then your bonus cash and any winnings will be confiscated.
New customers only. Deposit required.The maximum bonus amount is £100. Bonus needs to be wagered 60 times. Max win from the welcome bonus is 20x the bonus amount.
Minimum deposit £10. Game Weighting, Bonus Terms and General terms and conditions apply.
Range of games
No matter how great a welcome bonus is, it’s the games that make up the most important aspect of any online casino, and thankfully the Chance Hill online casino has a whole heap of them. The site has no less than nine software providers on board, including three of our absolute favourites – NetEnt, Microgaming and Yggdrasil Gaming. With quality names, you get quality games, and that’s the rule!
All the classic slots are featured here, including Starburst, EggOMatic and the blood-sucking Dracula. As well as several classics you’ll probably find some amazing games that you haven’t seen elsewhere, such is the variety that’s on offer here.
Away from the slots, table game fans are likely to be slightly less overwhelmed, as there are only fifteen casino games – ten versions of roulette, two of blackjack plus Casino Hold’em, Red Dog and Pai Gow Poker. That’s a bit of a disappointment. Oddly, we couldn’t find any video poker titles.
There is an absolutely cracking live casino here, though. We lost count of the number of tables available, but we think there are around sixty – that’s an outstanding number. All your favourite live casino pastimes are covered, including roulette, blackjack, baccarat and casino poker.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stellar welcome bonus with reasonable wagering conditions
- Excellent live casino – one of the best
- Double bonus yield for UK-based players
- Looks great on tablets and smart phones
Cons
- Lack of table games
- Site layout and functionality is not the best
Layout and usability
Hmm … we’re not exactly sure about the layout of this site. We do like the design – it’s bold and bright and pleasing to the eye – but the way in which you select games is not the best. For example, you cannot just select slots (at least we could not find a way to), but you can select table games, or live games. You can also select types of slots, but not just slots.
One thing we do like is the ability to select via provider, out of the nine providers that are available here. This is a real gift if you particularly like Play’n Go’s output, for example.
The rest of the site gets a thumbs up from us. There are plenty of menus for you to use, so you can get to the area of the site that piques your interest arndrequires your attention with just a mouse click or two.
There is a mobile-optimised version of this casino website that’s been specially-designed with both smart phones and tablets in mind, no matter how big or how small. For better functioning, it’s best that you use a tablet, but playing on a smart phone is perfectly possible. We have to say this is one of the best mobile-friendly online casinos that we’ve come across.
Promotions for existing customers
At the time of this review we found two succulent promotions available for regular players.
Firstly there was a weekly reload bonus. This was a thirty percent reload bonus up to a maximum of £100 and it was available each and every Wednesday at the site. The minimum you needed to deposit in order to receive this bonus was £10, and the rules and regulations about wagering were the same as with the welcome bonus.
Up next in the promotions stakes was the chance to earn up to sixty free spins on the fabulous NetEnt slot Koi Princess. If you deposited £20 or more on a Monday, then you would receive forty free spins on this slot, but if you deposited £50 or more then you would receive the full quota of sixty free spins. All free spins winnings acquired via this bonus were subject to wagering requirements of thirty-five times.
VIP/loyalty scheme
Every loyal player at an online casino expects special treatment, and some players go as far as expecting VIP treatment when it comes to their casino play. Unfortunately (for fortunately depending upon your point of view) everyone is treated equally at the Chance Hill online casino it seems as if there’s no VIP scheme here – not that we could find anyway.
Special features
That full list of providers here: NYX Gaming, Microgaming, Quickspin, Yggdrasil Gaming, Genii, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Scientific Games and Play’n GO.
If English is not your first language then there’s no need to worry – the site is also available in German, Swedish, Norweigan and Finnish.
The site seems a little bit shy in allowing punters to contact them, as no contact details are readily available at the site. Your best option is to contact live support – we did so and were pleased with the speed at which our queries were attended to.
Other betting options
Nada – if you want other betting options, then you will need to go someplace else, as Chance Hill Casino does not have them – no sports betting, bingo ball bouncing or poker room action. Don’t let that put you off trying their amazing casino games, though.
Conclusion
The Chance Hill Online Casino does tick a lot of boxes, but unfortunately not all of them, which is why we have only given it a four star rating out of a possible five stars. The things we like far outnumber the things we are not so sure about, though.
The positives? Well, there’s the number of providers for a start. We like a lot of variety at our online casinos, and the more providers, the greater the variety – that’s a given. We also love the stunning live casino that’s available here. We don’t think we’ve ever encountered an online casino with so many live tables before.
We’re not so over-the-moon about some of the site’s functioning, and the lack of table games, but those are only slight quibbles that barely distract from the overall gaming experience here, which is why we’ve only knocked off a single star.
Will you enjoy playing at the Chance Hill Online Casino? Chances are, yes you will!
