I’ll be honest – Planet 7 Casino doesn’t have the best background. Err… rather their parent company doesn’t.
Apparently back in the day they had trouble paying their players. This led to a lot of backlash and being added to blacklists left and right.
So what are we doing reviewing them? Maybe even recommending them?
Well, the reasons for this are two-fold. Firstly, because we have a direct line of communication with the powers to be and they say they have taken care of the payment problems. It’s a thing of the past. Secondly, most casino reviews websites now rate them positively. All the negative reviews are archaic and not a reflection of the company’s current business practises.
So never mind what those other review portals say.
Anyway, we just put that out there to be 100% transparent. Now let’s get down to brass tacks, to the real reason why you’re here.
To answer the question – should you join Planet 7 Casino? Or are there better casinos out there for US customers?
I’ll have an answer for you in just a second. But first let’s look at what Planet 7 has to offer.
What Slots Games Can You Play?
Planet 7 uses Real Time Gaming software. So one thing you’re sure to enjoy is the quantity of games they offer. If you were to compare them to another US-friendly software provider (in terms of quantity), they would come in either #1 or #2.
But they don’t just have lots of games. They have lots of quality games.
In fact, here are some of the titles you can play:
- Orc vs Elf – This excites me, a fan of Lord of the Rings.
- Naughty or Nice – Who doesn’t like barely dressed women wearing Santa hats and hardly anything else?
- Loch Ness Loot – He’s real and he wants to pay you monies.
- Paydirt! – Win a huge progressive jackpot while digging for gold.
- Fruit Frenzy – For the fans of old school fruit slot machines.
And tons more. Some other titles that caught my attention include:
- Voodoo Magic
- Wild Wizards
- Treasure Chamber – This kind of looks like Indiana Jones.
- The Elf Wars
- The Three Stooges
- Paydirt!
- Naughty or Nice Spring Break – If you’re into women and bikinis.
- Builder Beaver
- Caesar’s Empire
Annnnd here are a few progressive jackpots:
- Jackpot Pinatas – $1.765 million
- Aztec’s Millions – $1.698 million
- Megasaur – $879,297
- Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold – $354,445
This barely scratches the surface, too. There are at least 100 different slot machines.
You’ll be able to play around two dozen different slots games from your mobile device, too. And it looks like Real Time Gaming is adding a title or two every couple of months.
What About Other Casino Games?
Oh, yes – there are TONS of other games to play. You’re not just limited to slots.
For example:
- Table Games – Play Baccarat, Blackjack (more than 5 variations), Red Dog Poker, War, Tri-Card Poker and Let Em Ride.
- Video Poker – Play Aces and Eights, All American Poker, Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, Jacks or Better and Loose Deuces
- Specialty Games – Play Craps, Bonus Bingo, Keno, Roulette, Sic Bo, Scratch Cards and Dice games.
The biggest downside here is the only options available on mobile are Keno and Blackjack. I hope to see more options in the near future.
The rest of the games can be played by download (Windows) or from their instant play casino (Mac, PC and Linux).
A Small Selection of Big Bonuses
Planet 7 only has a couple of bonuses offers. But one of them is pretty dang big.
It’s their welcome offer, which is only for first time depositors. On your first 8 deposits you’ll be matched 100%. The first up to $777 and the rest up to $1,000.
This has a 30x play through or 60x for approved table and video poker games.
Some of their other offers include:
- Slot Special bonus – 100% match on your deposit for slots/keno only.
- Weekend Special – Deposit at least $100 and get a 130% bonus.
- Monday Funday – Get a 110% bonus for all games if you deposit on Monday.
- Wire Transfer Bonus – Use a wire transfer and get an additional 20% on top of any other bonus offer.
They also happen to have a VIP program that mirrors that of their sister site Captain Jack Casino. There are 5 levels. The perks include monthly insurance, exclusive bonuses, gifts and the ability to earn comp points (and cash back) faster.
Lets Talk Banking
Here are your deposit options:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- AmericanExpress
- Neteller
- Click2pay
- Skrill
For cash outs you can use:
- Neteller
- Bank Wire
- Bank Checks
- Click2pay
The Bottom Line
I give them a B.
I can look beyond their past if they say they’ll have no problems in the future.
So what do I look at instead?
Their games. Their slot options. Their promos. Their banking options.
It’s all there, and they accept US players.
There’s very little to complain about. If you have not yet joined a casino, especially one from this company, then Planet 7 is as good as any of them.
