Golden Tiger Live Casino Review

Golden Tiger Live Casino Overview

The Golden Tiger Casino is one of a group of casinos run by Apollo Entertainment. You might also see or hear the casino referred to as part of the Casino Rewards group of casinos.

I’ve been aware of the casino for many years. I dabbled playing slots there in the past and also because I’ve got to know some of the people behind the operation.

They have Live Casino games from Evolution and On Air Entertainment. I always said that I would do a review for them when they got a live casino. So here it is. :-)

It’s also one of the few casinos that still provides Instant access and a Download client to play the games.

The Live Casino can be played through the browser, download client, and mobile.

This review is only for the Golden Tiger Live Casino. There are plenty of other sites out there that provide slot reviews.

Golden Tiger Live Casino

Evolution & On Air Entertainment provides the Golden Tiger Live Casino, which offers a full range of live casino games.

Evolution Live Casino Games

Blackjack

There is a wide range of Blackjack tables to play on, with stakes starting as low as 0.50 a hand up to 10k. Side Bets of 21+3 and Perfect Pairs are available on all the tables, and there is a Bet Behind facility for when the tables are full. The table seats 7 players, and the game is played to Vegas Rules. You can split pairs and double on any hand value. Blackjack pays 3:2, and insurance paying 2:1 is offered when the dealer shows an Ace.

Roulette

There is a basic set of European Roulette tables, so you have plenty of choice. Standard Roulette and Immersive Roulette are the most popular. French Roulette with La Partage is available, and there is a range of Auto Roulette wheels for players who prefer that option. Double Ball Roulette is the final option. Speed Roulette didn’t make the cut, so if you like a really quick game, head over to Leo Vegas. Of course, you’ll find Lighting Roulette and Xtreme Lightning Roulette, which both deliver multiplier payouts.

Baccarat

All of the available Baccarat options can be found in the lobby. There’s straightforward Baccarat, Baccarat with player and dealer-controlled squeezes. There’s also Speed Baccarat for those who like a quick game with none of the traditional etiquette applied. Side bets and Baccarat Roadmaps are available on all the tables. The game is played with 8 Decks.

3 Card Poker

This is a popular game in UK land-based casinos. It is simple: to win, the player’s hand needs to be higher than the dealer’s hand. One player’s hand is dealt onto the table, which many players can bet on. There are optional Pairs Plus and 6 Card Bonus side bets that can be played alongside the main hand.

Casino Hold’em

This is another poker-derived game based on Texas Hold’em. The player and dealer hands are dealt 2 cards each, and then 5 Community cards are dealt. The aim of Casino Holdem is to make the best five-card poker hand from the seven cards. The game comes with an optional Bonus side bet.

Caribbean Stud Poker

5 cards are dealt to the Player and dealer positions. The player cards are dealt up while only one dealer card is shown before betting on the hand is allowed. The best poker hand wins. An optional 5+1 Bonus side bet uses the dealer’s up card and the player’s cards to make a poker hand. Payouts’ values are high when a hand is hit.

Ultimate Texas Hold’em

This version of Texas Hold’em offers four opportunities to bet on your hand once it’s been dealt. Betting early in the process (before the flop) can allow you to raise your ante bet by up to four times if you have a strong hand. If you leave betting until the River has been dealt, you can only raise your bet by one time. It’s a cracking game and one I thoroughly recommend.

Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker.

I’ve never encountered this version of Texas Hold’em in a land-based casino, but I must say I’m hooked already.

How you can bet as the cards are dealt and the funky Bonus side bet got my juices going. If you get the chance and like poker games, I think you’ll love this.

Dragon Tiger

I want to say this is a variation of Baccarat, but it’s not. The game closest to Dragon Tiger is Hi-Lo from Playtech or their version of Dragon Tiger.

One card is dealt to each of the Dragon and Tiger positions. You bet on which one will be higher. High card wins. Ties’ side bets make it more interesting.

The best thing about this game is the table and studio environment. It’s cool.

Wheel of Fortune Dream Catcher

This is a bit of a departure from the normal table games. Dream Catcher is essentially a Wheel of Fortune. You bet on a number, the wheel is spun, and you win if it lands on your number. An added Bet multiplier can be applied to wins to give the game an edge.

Entertainment Games

Entertainment Game Shows include Monopoly Live, Crazy Time, Funky Time, Crazy Pachinko, Red Door Roulette, Crazy Coin Flip, Gonzo’s Treasure Map and Monopoly Big Baller.

Lottery Games such as lighting Lotto and dice games such as Sic Bo and Lighting Dice and Craps complete the Evolution games section.

On Air Entertainment Live Casino Games

On Air’s range of live games isn’t as extensive as Evolution’s. However, they offer some unique games that stand up well against the competition.

On-Air Blackjack has seven seats and uses Vegas rules. Plenty of tables and stakes tend to be lower than on the Evolution tables.

Roulette comes in standard European formation and two variants: Nexus Roulette, with its multiple wheels providing multipliers, and Diamond Rush Roulette, with its multipliers and bonus round, delivers something different.

You’ll find Baccarat, Shandar Bahar, Casino Holdem and Card Match Up.

There are two entertainment games, Travel Fever with its horizontally mounted wheel and the Majestic Wheelshow, both of which deliver multiplier payouts.

How to access the Live Casino

If you’re a new player to Golden Tiger, you’ll need to sign up for an account, and then you’ll be taken to the lobby.

If you have an existing account, your journey to the live casino can be tricky. Stick with it, though, as it’s worth it when you get there.

Select what you want to play rather than download the client software.

From there, you can log in and be taken to the general lobby.

An Icon represents the Live Casino. Selecting that will take you to the Evolution Lobby.

Or you can scroll to expose the Live Casino Menu option, select that and then select the game you want.

Easy!.

For the Download Client

First, you need to visit the Golden Tiger Casino to download the client software. You can also download it directly from here.

You’ll see the following screen once you have installed it and created a player account.

Select the Games View button and then select the Live Games tab.

Click on the Live Casino games Icon, and a new window will open with the Games Lobby Displayed.

You can select full-screen mode and find the game and table that interests you.

Bonuses & Loyalty Program

The people behind Golden Tiger Casino have worked hard to create promotions and bonuses that players really like.

They’ve not really mastered Live Casino players yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before specific promotions are created.

To ensure you don’t miss out, I recommend visiting the promotions page to see the latest offers.

Reward Points—You’ll accumulate loyalty points as you play, which can be redeemed for playing credits once you’ve earned over 1000 points.

There are 6 VIP levels; each entitles you to different benefits. The more points you earn, the higher up the scale you move.

Getting something back while you play is great, but the benefits for Live Casino players are marginal at the moment. If you also like playing slots, you’ll do OK using them.

Licenses

Golden Tiger has three licenses.

For all non-regulated countries, one is from the UK Gambling Commission—000‑038620‑R‑319310‑005, one is from the Malta Gaming Authority—MGA/CL1/501/2008, and one is from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

All of these ensure that the casino is run and managed correctly.

Depositing & Withdrawals

The casino accepts the following deposit and withdrawal methods:

• Debit Cards: Visa Electron, Maestro & Entropay.
• E-Wallets: PayPal, Neteller, Skrill & Qiwi.
• Direct Bank Transfers.
• Pre-paid Vouchers: PaySafeCard.

Withdrawal times vary depending on the method used.

Customer Support

It’s not usual for me to spend a lot of time with customer support. But with Golden Tiger, it’s been a different story.

I had problems with getting my download client to work correctly. As a result, I could not access the games and even deposit.

I used the Chat Facility, and I have to say I was very impressed with the support I got. I don’t mind saying that I was frustrated. Something so simple shouldn’t have become so difficult.

The solution was to reinstall and clear my cache and cookies. Boom, I was straight in.

What impressed me was the patience of the support agents, and there were many that I spoke to. Their knowledge of the issue I was having and possible solutions was good.

I got disconnected several times during the resolution phase and was easily reconnected with the same agent, so I maintained good continuity.

I hope never to speak to them again, but if I do, I won’t be worried that I won’t get my issue sorted quickly.

Summary

The Golden Tiger Live Casino has been installed and can now be accessed through the browser, download, and mobile.

The bonus structure hasn’t yet been adapted to suit live casino players, so I’d steer clear of taking a bonus at the moment.

There’s a good selection of live games from the leading live casino supplier, Evolution Gaming, so players new to live casino will have good playing experiences.

I’m aware that the Casino Rewards group has received criticism on some review sites for spamming players.

I’ve not experienced it myself, but I will monitor it over the next few months to see if it becomes a problem. Then, I’ll update the review with my personal findings. (6-month update—Nope, nothing, not one email.)

If you fancy playing at a good, solid online casino, then Golden Tiger Live Casino is one of those.
