Vanguard Casino

UPDATE September 2016 - Affiliate program suddenly shut and website displays a blank page. We were told in May 2016 that they were trying to sell the Refilliates brands and launching a new licensed casino BetReels. This casino and its sister brands are not to be trusted, please stay away. Try a reputable Rival Gaming brand instead, play at US friendly Bovada.

First Gaming Partners, the same company who now owns Slot Powers casino, is happy to announce the opening of Vanguard online casino in early September 2009.

Powered by the Rival platform, Vanguard Casino is as entertaining as it is fair and offers Rival’s impressive selection of more than 100 online games in 3 reel, 5 reel, and progressive slots, I-slots, table and specialty games, and video poker choices.

Vanguard Casino reminds me of a downtown Las Vegas casino—it may be new, but it feels like it’s been around forever. And in terms of this casino, that’s not a bad thing in the least. Sure, Vanguard has a retro feel to it. And, yes, it can come off as a little campy.

Yet for an online casino, Vanguard has more bonuses to offer than casinos that have been around four times as long.

And its design, while not as flashy as some of the other online casinos, doesn’t require a huge processor or tons of memory (a huge plus if you haven’t had time—or hit the jackpot—to buy a new computer in a while).

And maybe it was just my luck, but I felt that, just like the downtown casinos in Las Vegas, the odds are a little better here, too.

Vanguard Online Casino Promotions.

Not only are there some enticing Vanguard Casino bonuses offered, they start right out of the shoot with some great current-player bonuses that keep on giving players what they want: free money to play with; as shown by the following:

• Reload Bonus: Make sure to check out this bonus in the casino lobby to get the maximum play for your buck (on the casino's dime).
• Cash-back Bonus: At the end of each month, you're entitled to get 10% of your losses back. Not a bad consolation prize!
• Sunday Slots Bonus: If slots are on your menu, make sure to eat on Sundays—Vanguard has a special bonus available just for you.
• Birthday Bonus: Surprise! Getting older DOES come with perks—and free gifts from the casino!
• Refer A Friend Bonus: Vanguard casino offers $50 for each person you refer to the casino. This is especially useful for the friends who happen to owe you money.

Keep in mind, only one bonus can be used at any given time, and players must have a zero balance to withdraw bonus winnings. Make sure to familiarize yourself with all of Vanguard casino's bonus terms and conditions before accepting them. Any of the above names and bonus offers may change over time.

Vanguard Casino Features.

Most casinos on the Rival platform keep things simple on the lobby front—and Vanguard is no exception. There’s no sparkly non-stop animation to distract you, no be-feathered showgirls.

And you won’t even notice what’s missing—you’ll be too busy coasting from game to game, reveling in the smooth play and fast download speeds.

Vanguard Online Casino Games.

If you’re familiar with Rival software, you’ll find some familiar names and games, and Vanguard casino offers only the best of the best. And here's what you can expect at Vanguard:

• You'll find enough Table Games; like Blackjack and Caribbean Stud, to fill up a rainy afternoon (and hopefully you can fill your account balance while you're at it).
• If you're looking for some Slots play; you've come to the right place. Vanguard Casino has some great 5-reel slots (like Psychedelic Sixties), 3-reel slots (like Big Cash Win), and Progressive slots (like Strike Gold). And last but not least, I-slots (like As the Reels Turn and Spy Game—the newest at the time of this review).
• Video Poker; is always a favorite, and you won't be without any variation. Vanguard casino has Deuces And Joker, Deuces Wild, Double Joker, Joker Poker, and so many more.
• Specialty Games for those unique gamers out there; Vanguard online casino has scratch-offs, Sudoku, and Keno.
