Introducing Fun Casino to the online gambling market

Judging by the number of advertisements in all forms of Irish media it is obvious that gambling online is big business and is only increasing as more and more people realise the benefits of being able to access sites 24 hours a day from a range of devices. Sports gambling sites have substantial barriers to new entrants and therefore the market is mostly unchanged but this is not the case with online casinos. The barriers for entering online gambling with a new online casino are mainly financial as the casino software which is required can be purchased or leased but of course new online casinos need to be licensed and that is not simply a question of applying as there are strict requirements which must be met. Gambling.ie has very recently come across a new online casino called Fun Casino which has an interesting take on online gambling and which is run by an established group who also run All Irish Casino which is already a firm favourite among Irish casino players. This means that it is correctly licensed and run under the control of the Malta Gaming Authority which is itself one of the foremost online gambling centres in Europe as well as the UK Gaming Commission.

Fun Casino has hit on the fact that many online gambling sites and online casinos in particular have forgotten that gambling should be fun and not boring. The phrase “When the fun stops, stop” has been used in online gambling advertising for some time but Fun Casino puts it into practise by concentrating on keeping it fun. The casino software is predominately a mixture of NetEnt and Amatic Industries but Microgaming is also present with the huge slots jackpot games. Amatic is an interesting choice s although they have been involved in gambling for a long time their entry into online gambling is relatively new. The previous business was mainly associated with what are called cabinet style slot machines that could be found in clubs and bars but Amanet which is the name chosen for the online casino games is now bringing some of those favourite slots into the online market. NetEnt has been around for a number of years and in keeping with the fun element is probably best known for casino slots that have a bit of humour thinking in particular of slots such as Gonzo’s Quest™. If you have not tried Gonzo’s Quest™ it is certainly recommended as it has a couple of factors which differentiate it from normal casino slots. Firstly the fifteen symbols which are normally visible as three on each of five reels are in fact five stacks of stone blocks each three high but the difference is that any of the blocks explode when they form part of a winning line. Any blocks above drop down to take the place of the exploded ones with spaces on the top row being filled with new blocks. This effectively means that all bocks are independent of each other. Should the new arrangement of blocks result in another win that win will be paid double as there is a win multiplier which moves to 2X, 3X and 5X with successive wins.

The fun element however has got to be the intrepid explorer Gonzo himself who stands by the side of the blocks scratching his beard waiting for a big win so that he can celebrate with you. Should you get into the free spins mode Gonzo will escort you through to a separate game where the win multiplier starts at 3X and progresses through to 15X with large wins virtually guaranteed. Large wins will result in gold coins cascading over the top of the blocks with Gonzo removing his helmet to help you catch them but don’t worry he steals nothing. This sort of fun casino slot is just what Fun Casino is all about but there is more to keeping online gambling fun and that is to make sure as far as possible that players remain in the fun zone by not getting into trouble financially. Clearly no online casino is capable of assessing what an individual customer can afford but what they can do and what Fun Casino does do is provide as many controls as possible which the customer sets for themselves. For example it is possible to set wagering limits or bet limits within a set period of time or even limit the time that can be spent at the casino. New players are encouraged to set their own limits but if they do not then standard limits are applicable for a day, a week and a month. Any request for a reduction in limits will be activated immediately but any increase in limits will take one week to activate which once again is designed to keep gambling online in the fun zone and of course self exclusion is also a possibility. Fun Casino can be operated on mobile or tablet as well as your computer and that includes live casino.

There are actually more than 450 casino games available at Fun Casino which include hundreds of casino slots alongside firm favourite table games such as roulette and blackjack but there are also more unusual games not frequently found when gambling online such as Punto Banco or Pontoon which is not the same as Blackjack. For a quick fun game which is pure gambling try the card game Red Dog the idea of which is simply to have third card dealt which falls between the first two dealt. Unlike some online casinos, requests for cash withdrawals will be activated within 24 hours which is just another way of achieving customer satisfaction. Online gambling does not often have good new entrants to the market and especially one which thinks that having fun and keeping it fun is important which is why gambling.ie has added Fun Casino to the list of recommended casinos for Irish casino players.
