Royale500 first opened in 2017. The new UK welcome offer consists entirely of spins on the very popular slot game Big Bass Bonanza.
The first thought that popped into my head when asked to write this review was that this casino’s name sounds like a packet of cigarettes. Jokes aside, when I first visited their homepage one was not impressed and as a potential new customer you could just more than likely dismiss this site and move swiftly on. That would be a mistake. Why? Do I hear you ask? As the old saying goes, never judge a book by its cover and Royale500 cover sells this casino very short. Basically, you can’t really see what this platform delivers until after signing up and registering. It’s then that the site transforms from an ugly duckling into a Royale swan.
I do like to get into a theme of a casino and like a child entering a theme park, I instantly explored for royal themed games via their search function. I wasn’t disappointed. Royal Mint Megaways by Big Time Gaming and The Royal Family by Yggdrasil popped up alongside 50+ other games one was now impressed.
The casino design is rather elegant with a black background among gold which breaks it up a bit. The first thing I noticed is that Royale500 has over +7000 games. It has a bit of personality but the platform generally focuses on their games with big and colourful tiles which you have the ability to change their size and layout all catching your eye. There are links through the middle leading you to various parts of their casino. On the top left the 3 lines lead you to every aspect here with promotions and account features on the right. The clunky usability of the homepage is all in the past with the lobby area very self explanatory and extremely simple when navigating yourself about.
This platform launched by Skill on Net Limited has been in operation since 2021 and is one of a number of gaming sites operated by them. This casino provider is well known and highly reputable within the gaming industry. Sister sites include the very popular household names Play OJO and Genting Casino.
Royale500 welcome package is an enticing 100 free spins when you deposit £10 for the first time. You can receive this by clicking or tapping on the link above. It does come with wagering requirements on the higher side 60x but still offers some good value. Signing up and registering with Royale500 is straightforward, quick and takes a minute or two at most. If you have previously signed up with a Skill on Net casino they will use the information you have provided via your mobile number and date of birth. Royale500 will ask you to verify your phone number and send you a code by text. You can deposit using a variety of methods including Visa/Mastercard, PayPal and Trustly. There are protection tools in place to set deposit limits and reality checks . Royale500 will try to verify your account when you open it; however, you could be asked for further verification before you play. Being required to provide ID and proof of address is completely normal and nothing to worry about with Royale500 practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.
This platform is slots royalty with excellent titles from a variety of great slot providers. Under the slots category from the homepage you enter a lobby area totally dedicated to slot games. Under the Trending section you can find Jokers Jewels Wild by Pragmatic Play and the still popular Gonzo’s Quest by Netent. You can see that this casino keeps its titles fresh and up to date with a good choice of New games all neatly placed in their own section. At the time of writing a fun tumble game Mad Blast by Push Gaming and Wolf Stacks Megaways by Big Time Gaming were very prominent. Other categories include Recommended, Popular Near You and Exclusive slot areas.
There are a few factors that really impressed me about this casino in general. Firstly they have a Hot/Cold zone which gives you an insight into what titles their customers are playing. It basically tells you which slot titles and other games have paid out over the course of the last 24 hours and which ones haven’t. It also tells you how many game rounds have been played. Although I’m a little bit of a sucker when it comes to statistics and found it really interesting, I suggest taking this information with a pinch of salt, especially when it comes to your own game play. I also enjoyed the Lite Pay area where the max spin is £2. Lastly, navigating your way around has been well thought through and is a delight. There is a search feature where you can look for your favourite titles by name, provider and category and you can also make your own playlist by clicking or tapping on the heart symbol.
Now if you are a fan of Progressive Jackpot slots you are also in for a treat. Under its own category via the homepage these titles are rewarded with their own lobby with games again broken up into areas. With dallies, trending and new titles all neatly placed together, Jackpot King, Red Tiger dailies, IGT Megajackpots, Mega Fortune and Eyecon Super Jackpots are all represented with 250+ titles available.
As I take a bow to the variety of slot games available my attention turns to the live casino options on offer at Royale500. From the homepage the Live Casino lobby has yet another multitude of categories to choose from. Alongside the stables of Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat you can play live games from around the world which include Korea, Japan, Brazil and a handful of tables streamed from Las Vegas. One of the particularly appealing features of the Skill On Net platform is spearheaded in this area, there’s live casino games by Playtech, Pragmatic Play and Evolution making the choice here unparalleled.
Being a Game Show fan I really liked that there are 50+ games here. Alongside the really popular Crazy Time there is the retro game Race Track, Lighting Storm, Cash or Crash and Treasure Island to name a few, with Mega Ball and Vegas Ball Bonanza a good bingo alternative. In addition there are also 70+ Slingo titles which you can find by means of the search function. Other choices at a glance include Instant Win scratchcards, Video Poker, Crash Games, Plinko, Keno, Lucky Tap and a good choice of Video Bingo.
Besides the Royale500 welcome offer which I previously mentioned, other promotions here tend to be account specific in the form of personalised Daily Picks which you find under the promotions tab. Provider promotions such as Pragmatic Play’s Drops and Wins are also available. There is also a loyalty scheme called Levels; the higher the level you get to the more perks you receive.
Royale500 undoubtedly delivers on multiple user platforms. If you like your play on the go, soaking in the bath or resting up in bed this casino is very much mobile and tablet friendly via a mobile browser. The layout is slightly different to the desktop version with a navigation bar at the bottom of your device, however a majority of the site is a reflection of the desktop version. There isn’t an app available at the time of writing but to be honest, Royale500 runs wonderfully without one.
Customer support is taken very seriously here and there are a couple of options available if you need to contact Royale500 for any help or advice. Live chat support is available 7 days a week, generally around the clock. You can also contact the casino by email or alternatively there is a small FAQ area within the Chat facility.
There is a lot to like about Royale500 and it certainly does tick a lot of boxes. The homepage before signing up certainly doesn’t reflect the casino experience on offer here so keep that mind. This place is easy to navigate and provides a majestic gaming experience with a massive games library from top games providers. This royally is an honourable casino and could be one of the jewels in your crown.
