21.com Casino Review for New Zealand Players

21.com is a Malta Licensed casino with operators who have years of experience in the gaming industry. No doubt there are hundreds of casinos but only a few welcome players from New Zealand and 21.com is one of them.

The theme is simple: white with splashes of pink, gold and purple. Navigation is easy with the casino featuring links to important pages. However, the all important banking page is missing – players get to view options as well as minimum-maximum amounts only once they register and deposit. That said the home page is the gateway to gaming with games arranged neatly into different sections. One attractive aspect of 21.com is that it will reward you regardless of whether you win or lose. You can use NZD here but they don't seem to support crypto-currencies yet.

Enjoy hundreds of pokies, quite a sizeable number of table games, a few bingo games and, importantly, a live casino lobby powered by Pragmatic Play Live and Evolution Gaming. Almost 70 providers promise variety, thrills and excitement, as well as big rewards buttressed by the various promos that will keep you playing on and on. Keep reading this unbiased review to know if the casino is suitable for New Zealand based players.

Software Platform and Favorite Games

The games page has a horizontal menu bar with access to pokies, popular games, table games and live casinos. We wish the casino had a separate jackpot section. Members can use the search option to find a specific game. There is a filter to select specific providers from the list of 68. A nice touch is that the casino also displays the number of games available from each provider.

Some of the top providers here are Netent, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Relax, Big Time, BluePrint, iSoftBet, Quickspin, Microgaming and others. Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming contribute to the live casino section. Lesser known providers like Peter & Sons, Avatar, Snowborn, Silverback, Reflex and Spearhead Studios provide interesting alternatives.

Unfortunately, Microgaming's top progressives are missing while you may find the continuous loading of games as you scroll down the home page a bit irksome.

Each gaming section is split into sub categories. For instance, the pokies lobby has sections for various types such as Books, Christmas, Sport, Entertainment, Falling Symbols, Asia, Egypt, Sticky Wilds and more but no jackpot section. The jackpot games are all there in the pokies section but you will have to know which ones are jackpots since there is no clue by way of amount or a label.

Players may sign up and then play for free or put down money to play for cash. The sign up process is fast but make sure you are 18 years of age or older and that there are no legal restrictions in place.

21.com Mobile Casino

21.com mobile casino is responsive and follows almost the same format as the PC version except that the game icons are positioned horizontally to fill up the width of the screen but without spilling over, which would necessitate horizontal swiping. Likewise, text is large and clear. You just swipe up and down. A persistent bottom menu offers access to popular pages like games and promos.

There is no need for an app since frameworks and technologies are powerful enough to endow websites with full functionality. An app is much harder and expensive to upgrade and would need to be upgraded for both iOS and Android. On the other hand, a web based playing interface is easier to update and can be accessed regardless of the underlying OS. Games are HTML5 and will play in the browser so just sign up using your mobile, deposit cash using the mobile and play. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection. You also need a mobile device with good hardware specs for seamless gameplay otherwise the system may slow down.

For maximum enjoyment it is recommended that you play the latest releases that take advantage of the mobile's multiple sensors. Try Loco the Monkey, Hyper Strike, Cubes 2, Reel Keeper and Book of Gold-Double Chance.

Big Progressive Jackpots

As said earlier, though Microgaming is present here, their really huge progressive jackpots like Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah, Mega Moolah and Atlantean Treasures are missing, which is a bit of a damper. There is no separate section for jackpots let alone progressive jackpots which means that players will have to know which games are progressive and then play, wasting time in the process.

You could take a shot at Divine Fortune Megaways, Agent Jane Blonde Returns, Immortal Romance by Microgaming, Richie in Vegas and Aztec Gold Megaways. To sum it up, if you wish to play progressive jackpots at 21.com you must know the name of the game and input it in the search box. Anyway, the chances of hitting smaller jackpots from providers like Red Tiger Gaming is much better and you also have great fun in the process.

Other Bonuses & Promotions for NZ Customers
