21 Nova Casino Review

21 Nova Casino Overview

320% up to $320 Welcome Bonus

21 Nova Casino was formerly known as 32 Vegas Casino and was owned and operated by Crown Solution Gaming from its inception in May 2006. It was purchased by William Hill in 2009 and subsequently rebranded to 21 Nova Casino due to an ongoing legal dispute with 32 Red over the similarity of their brand names – a case which 32 Vegas ultimately lost. We recommend you avoid 21 Nova casino due to a host of problems encountered with the casino and its affiliated companies.

Summary

Full Review

Once known as 32Vegas, 21 Nova Casino was rebranded and restyled in 2006. Switching to Playtech software and redesigning the gaming lobby and client, 21 Nova Casino opened its doors as a totally different online gaming site. 21 Nova Casino’s gaming software is available by download or in a no-download Flash version, making the site compatible with PC users, Mac lovers, and those running Linux OS, too. 21nova calls itself ‘the new star in online gaming’ and they do their best to back up that claim by offering a very solid and professional product. This should come as no surprise however, seeing as Crown Solutions Gaming Ltd., the company that operates Club Dice Casino as well as many other well-reputed Internet casinos, also owns 21nova.

Promotions

The big draw at 21nova is most definitely their Welcome Bonus. It starts with a 320% first deposit bonus that goes up to €/$320 if fully cleared. 320% is not a match percentage that you’ll often come across, so we won’t blame you for doing a double take when seeing that number. But luckily the fun doesn’t end there. 21nova will also reward you on your second deposit by matching it with 60%, up to a maximum of €/$500.

You will also receive a 10% deposit bonus if you deposit using a credit card like Visa or Master Card and even a 15% bonus if you use a popular electronic wallet like NETeller, Moneybookers or Click 2 Pay.

21 Nova Casino has a two-tiered welcome bonus program, meaning that bothhigh rollers and occasional players can take advantage of the site’s welcome bonus. New members at 21 Nova Casino choose between a high dollar / high wager requirement high roller’s bonus or a more achievable welcome bonus split up across their first three months’ deposits.

The high roller bonus is a 25% match worth up to £1,000. That means all deposits up to £4,000 are eligible for a 25% match from 21 Nova Casino. Since this is a bonus designed for high rollers, you know the wagering requirement is going to be steep. High rollers who want to take advantage of 21 Nova Casino’s 25% match bonus have to wager 25x their bonus amount within the first 30 days of membership. Want that quick £1,000 bonus? Be prepared to bet £25,000 in a month.

Most online gamblers will be more attracted to the site’s smaller three month welcome bonus: a 25% match for up to £250. The second month’s match bonus is good for a 60% match up to £500. The third month you make a deposit at 21 Nova Casino, the site will match you 320% up to £320. These deposit match bonuses are also subject to a 25x wagering requirement.
Besides the welcome bonus and other reload bonus opportunities, a big part of the promotional lineup at 21 Nova Casino is Club 21, the site’s VIP club. 21 Nova doesn’t use the word VIP to describe the club, calling Club 21 a “membership rewards program.”

Software

21nova Casino is powered by Playtech, one of the giants within the casino software industry. Playtech is known for its reliable software, high quality games and big network progressives, and that’s exactly what you can expect at 21nova. The multilingual casino software can be installed on Windows platforms or played platform independently through a web browser. Both versions run smoothly and without any glitches

There are currently over 90 titles in the 21nova lobby, including video slots, video poker and other popular games like Blackjack, Craps and Baccarat. If you’re looking for something a little bit different than the usual online casino title, make sure to try 21nova’s live casino games that can be played with real dealers. Online gaming has never been closer to a real Las Vegas experience.

21 Nova Casino is powered by Playtech, one of the most popular online casinosoftware designers in the world. The game library at Playtech is huge, so sites that run their software have a big variety of gaming titles to choose from, and since Playtech comes out with new games all the time, the variety of games available to play at 21 Nova Casino is also constantly changing, especially the slot and video poker games.

Playtech is best known for their slot machines, for two reasons. First of all, Playtech is used so widely in the online gaming industry that the progressive jackpots available on some of their online slots get really big. Offering Playtech slots to your customers means giving them a shot at some really big progressive jackpots. Another reason for Playtech’s slot popularity is their deal with Marvel. Playtech has designed several online slots based on Marvel characters. Just like land based slot machines, online slots designed after original characters like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are very popular.

Mobile Casino

21nova does not currently offer a mobile platform, so you will have to make due with the desktop module or the browser-based (flash) casino. The lack of a mobile casino will disappoint players who are looking for the flexibility and freedom of mobile gaming, but if you like to stick to the traditional desktop modules, you will be more than pleased with 21nova’s Playtech powered casino.

Customer Service

21nova offers friendly and professional support, 24 hours a day. The customer service team can be reached via the expected channels (email, telephone, fax and live chat) and can be counted on for quick and efficient support. Being a multilingual online casino, the customer support is also available in various languages, which is a big plus as well.

Payment Methods

At 21nova you can deposit using credit cards, electronic wallets (Neteller, Click2Pay, Click&Buy, Ukash, Paysafe Card, MoneyBookers, EcoCard, EntroPay, MyCitadel, WebMoney), wire transfers or local bank payments. The payment process is very easy; from within the cashier you enter the amount you wish to deposit, select the payment method and securely make your deposit over a SSL encrypted connection. The amount is usually instantly deposited into your account and you can get up to a 15% deposit bonus depending on the payment method you select.

Conclusion

21nova gets solid grades all across the board. Playtech is one of the best casino software providers and we love the various bonus options that are available. The customer support team is efficient and professional, the jackpots are always stacked and we love the live casino option. We would like to see more (country specific) payment options and a mobile application, but 21nova has definitely earned a spot on our Top List as one of the best online casinos currently operating.
