USA: 

The name is enough to lure me into entering LuckyRedCasino.com, another genius brand of Affiliate Edge (once called CWC Affiliates), which has brought to inveterate online gamers like myself out-of-this earth playing experience. (To expound, Affiliate Edge carries these trusted sites: Aladdin's Gold Casino, All-Star Slots, Buzz Luck, Club SA, Club USA, Club World, High Noon Casino, Lucky Red, and Manhattan Slots. It also carries Club UK with translations to cater to non-English players. All the sites play on US dollar currency, and allow players from the US and Canada (unless otherwise noted).

Getting on the game at LuckyRedCasino.com is not cumbersome, particularly that it has a fairly smooth and quick registration process, plus a dependable RealTime Gaming platform that does not trouble players at all. I am welcomed by a 400% bonus that pays up to $4,000 with no cashout ceilings. That means getting $500 to play with for the $100 I invest.

To be in sync with the seemingly Oriental feel, I pore over the menu and pick a game that says something of the theme. I'm not big on the Chinese culture but I try my luck with Pai Gow Poker – essentially to see how my relationship with the dealer goes. I've read in reviews that the strategy in this game is not the same as that of poker as most players know it. In Pai Gaw Poker, it is said that the odds of winning are 40-60 and that most of the time, an even split occurs. It's that the dealer has a slight advantage, with players not allowed to win two identical hands.

Playing Pai Gow Poker places me on a “heater” – in this particular site, the genie bottle – where I enjoy a really lengthy winning streak. After a fair number of arrangements of high hands (five cards each) and low hands (two cards each), I get to spin a strategy the suits me well. The warm-up is good and I leave the table with $1,695, including investment.

I move to other categories to check out games found under the Video Poker, Table Games, Speciality, and Progressives tabs. The usual games are there, classified accordingly: bacarrat, blackjack, craps, roulette, poker varieties, and all. But as a slots person, I am drawn to...where else but?

One unique thing I find at LuckyRedCasino.com is the Real Series Video Slot Jackpots board that displays amounts and the particular jackpot games for California, Florida, Mississippi, New York, Nevada, and Texas. It could be truly useful for players based in these areas – but, sadly, not for me.

Anyway, the fresh find is Golden Lotus that, for the sake of going Oriental, I fund $500 with – using money from my winnings.

The goal is to meditate and pray for the White Lotus scatters to appear in right numbers, the Golden Lotus substitutes (or wilds) at the right time, and at least three of these Golden Lotuses to result from a spin and trigger the Chinese Garden feature.

I nearly levitate at the first $25 bet I make because I win five times the amount. On another such bet, I win $400 (yes!) on Lines 1 and 19 because of five Qs running across the middle line plus a Golden Lotus on the third line of Reel 3.

Nirvana later happens. Twice. The first time, it comes in a display of four White Lotus icons. I get awarded a bonus game worth eight nifty spins that in all earned $1,835.

The second time of my Nirvana experience at LuckyRedCasino.com comes in a display of three Golden Lotus icons that trigger the Chinese Garden feature, which earns $1,260. Both instances occur on $25 bets.

If only for the Golden Lotus game of Chinese jars and lanterns and jade lions, the anachronistic fan-wielding Japanese girl, and the hefty payouts, I will return again and again to LuckyRedCasino.com.

I call it a day when I am ready to withdraw at least part of the $5,670 that has grown over the hours from my $100. I leave a little less than half to sustain my next session at Lucky Red.
