7Regal Casino Review

IN A NUTSHELL

The 7Regal online casino is the latest spawn of a well-known and old UK offline brand.

It’s a simple and easy to navigate site that offers everything we’ve come to expect from a modern-day online casino. It covers a download client as well as a Flash-based site and one adapted for the use on mobile devices.

Their choice of Playtech as a software supplier shows that they’re going for quality and experience online as well as in their offline business. They’ve got an impressive range of state-of-the-art slots and plenty of other casino and variety games.

7Regal is licensed in Alderney. They are subject to regular audits and the relevant gambling legislation in place.

WELCOME BONUS

As soon as you register at 7Regal you’ll be able to claim your welcome bonus. The standard bonus offered to all new sign-ups is a match bonus of 100% on any sum up to £200. There’s also a high-roller welcome bonus that’s considerably more valuable: A match offer of 50% on any sum from £1000 up to £5000.

Both offers are subject to wagering requirements, which means that the money the casino adds to your balance needs to be wagered a particular number of times before you can withdraw it. Make sure you have a look at the terms and conditions.

There’s also a free money welcome bonus in place: You’re given £10, without being required to make a deposit. This bonus is invitation only, so you’ll have to get in touch with the casino to get it. You can find more information on their promotions page.

OTHER BONUSES AND PROMOS

Other bonuses and promotional deals at 7Regal casino include a £500 reload bonus on any newcomer’s second deposit as well as plenty of specials. There are prize draws connected to game play, like the possibility to win tickets to a major sports event, and there are weekly specials for regular players. As usual, it’s worth having a look around review sites and landing pages for the odd 7Regal deposit bonus code floating about the net.

SOFTWARE PROVIDER

The casino runs on Playtech’s software. They’re a popular choice for a site of this type — their success started in the US in the early 2000s and continued abroad after a change in legislation made that market unattainable. They’ve since become expert providers for download casinos and have recently become more popular among operators of Flash-based sites as well. This is particularly important as their download client is Windows-oriented, which means that there is no download of 7Regal for Mac available, and Apple users depend on the instant-play feature.

GAMES SELECTION

If you’re out to play the online casino at 7Regal you’ll be pleased to hear they’ve got close to 100 slots, including 31 progressives. They cover plenty of themed ones, including the now famous Marvel ones, as well as the more traditional sort. All the classics you’d expect a well-stocked casino to have are there, including blackjack, baccarat and roulette. They’ve also got plenty of video poker variations along with variety games like keno, pop bingo and many others.

JACKPOTS

7Regal as this review is written has 31 progressive jackpots on offer. This section’s where players usually head at some point — if only to look at the amazing sums they can play for there. No other kind of casino game has winnings like that, and in no other case does a jackpot recover as quickly once it’s won. Here’s how they work.

Anyone who’s out to try and win a jackpot at 7Regal won’t be playing alone. The principle behind progressive games is simple: To gather as many players as possible and push the jackpot as far as possible before somebody wins it. This means that of every real-money wager placed on a progressive slot, a tiny part is taken and added to the total winning sum. This means that the more people play, the quicker it grows and the higher the sum gets.

Jackpots at 7Regal include Fantastic Four and Iron Man 2, both the 25 and 50-line variants. There’s Progressive Blackjack as well as Queen Of The Pyramids, and Captain’s Treasure and Gold Rally. All of these will reseed at sizeable numbers once won, attract players and start to grow again.

It’s up to you to decide which are the best jackpots at 7Regal. At a total of 31, we’re quite sure you’ll find something to your taste.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Once you know how to play at 7Regal and have had a look at the different games in practice mode, you’ll want to go for real winnings. You can only do that if you hold a real player account with the site. To get started, you need to make a first deposit. Here’s how that works.

If you want to play 7Regal for real money, you’ll need a way to transfer money. There are several, among them the classic bank transfer like everyone knows it. This works, and isn’t such a bad idea either because it works both ways: You can send money as well as receive payouts. The main disadvantage of this option is that it takes a lot of time, usually up to 5 days.

Other payment methods at 7Regal include credit cards, both Visa and MasterCard are accepted. If you want to use your credit card, make sure you have a good look at the available options and their terms. Sometimes sites raise fees on credit card payments.

You can also make a deposit at 7Regal using one of the up-and-coming newer channels. These so-called e-wallets have the advantage that they work both ways, and they take care of matters like verifying your identity and age. Also, you won’t have to give up credit card details to transfer funds. Services supported are Neteller and Skrill (formerly called Moneybookers).

LOYALTY PROGRAM

The loyalty program at 7Regal is based on comp points. Players start accumulating points as soon as they’ve signed up for a real-money account and move up across several loyalty tiers depending on their comp points balance and turnover. Coversion rates improve with every higher tier. There’s a VIP club as well that brings members additional benefits, like faster withdrawals, a personal account manager and so on. Beyond the fixed programs, the casino also runs weekly promos for regulars.

MOBILE-ADAPTED

7Regal now covers the whole bandwith of modern gambling: There’s the 7Regal PC download, there’s their instant-play site, and there’s their mobile casino. That they’ve gone mobile is no surprise — after all we’re looking at the fastest-growing new market for interactive and online gaming. Have a look at what they’ve got in more detail.

The 7Regal mobile site doesn’t require users to download any extra software. These days mobile-adapted solutions are the way to go: Apps are limited to operating systems, and too often casinos only cover Android and iOS. Browser-based casinos, on the other hand, run on any system and pretty much every device there is. If you want to play mobile casino with 7Regal, all you have to do is go to their mobile site.

Availability for different operating systems:

7Regal for Android — browser-based, works fine.

7Regal for your Windows phone — browser-based, no app required.

7Regal for your iPad — runs perfectly.

7Regal for your iPhone — see iPad; no app needed.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Support at 7Regal can be reached by e-mail and phone as well as live chat. The live chat feature is limited to members of the site. There’s a toll-free phone line in place for the UK. Make sure you pick the right one though — they have two different sets of contacts in place, and the other one’s for poker.
