If you're an online gambler and have been around the block a few times, there's no doubt you've heard of Golden Palace Casino. There's probably an even likelier chance you've actually played there before. If not, well then, Golden Palace certainly deserves your attention. This Playtech powered online casino was one of the first mainstream online casinos on the Web, and was certainly the first online casino to receive all sorts of attention on a global scale.

Throwing one of the most successful publicity marketing campaigns ever, Golden Palace managed to make the headlines in just about every major news outlet the world over. Golden Palace Casino did everything from streaking at high profile sporting events to buying the most off-the-wall collection of iconic oddities through eBay (You may recall the Virgin Mary cheese toast and Pope Mobile, which are now a part of Golden Palace's museum of oddities). Although some people found this type of advertising to be a little much, the fact of the matter is that Golden Palace has always given back. In fact, Golden Palace has made over $1 million in charitable donations to date.

These days, Golden Palace is more low key about their marketing, but nonetheless continues to offer an excellent gaming package for new and seasoned online gamblers. As mentioned, they are powered by Playtech, which means their 80+ Flash and downloadable casino games feature some of the most realistic gaming graphics on the Web. To get a glimpse of each game interface, Golden Palace has a preview page with outstanding screen shots of all their games, including all the standard Las Vegas table/card games, Live Dealer games (Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette and Sic Bo), 3-reel and 5-reel video slots (up to twenty paylines), regular slots, video pokers (up to twenty-five lines), arcade games and Asian games like Solo Mahjong.

The online casino platform features state-of-the-art 3D graphics and features several customizable playing options. Players can create private tables, chat in real time with one another and access updated bank statements and gaming history audits. If at any time a disconnect occurs in the middle of a bet, the player will be able to reconnect to the same exact place upon the very next login.

Other gaming options include a stand-alone poker room and a mobile casino offering compatibility with over 800 handset devices, including 3G. Players need only choose their cell phone brand and model from a dropdown list, and the appropriate software bundle will be matched up for a quick and easy download. If you've never gambled from your mobile phone before, it's definitely worth a try. With newer model mobile phones, the playing experience is hardly any different than that offered through a personal computer. Secure servers, password protected connections, and 3D graphics are all available on Golden Palace's mobile platform.

As for gaming fairness, Golden Palace's entire Playtech licensed platform has been tested for non-predictability, fair distribution and lack of bias by Technical Systems Testing (Vancouver, British Columbia), whose RNG Certification is considered one of the most respected and widely recognized in the gaming industry. Other credentials include licensing through the Curacao Internet Gaming Association and membership amongst the respected ranks of the Interactive Gaming Council.

Players can test out the software for free by opening a fun-money account with unlimited credits or can open a real money account with a minimum deposit of $25 and receive up to a $300 sign-up bonus.
