Pino Casino Review for New Zealand Players

Pino Casino is a relatively new entrant to the iGaming world, having been launched in 2021. The casino features a rich and varied game library from a battery of top studios like Evolution, Playtech, NetEnt, BetSoft, Play 'N Go, Pragmatic Play, Big Time Gaming, Thunderkick, Yggdrasil, Playson Red Tiger, and Quickspin, to name a few. You can play slots, virtual and live table games, and game shows. The casino also hosts a sizeable lobby of wealthy, progressive jackpots.

There's nothing particularly great about the graphics, which mainly consist of the images on the main banner and the colorful game icons against a dark blue background. The focus seems to be more on functionality than on spectacular esthetics. Below the sample game icons from various casino categories, you can see the list of recent winners, and this can be encouraging. The main gaming sections are placed on the header, while the footer contains the licensing information.

The online casino is part of a chain of premium digital casinos owned and operated by N1 Interactive Ltd., a brand based and licensed in Malta. Players from New Zealand can expect to be treated right. The casino follows all mandated security protocols, like regular audits of the Random Number Generator present for all games and protection of sensitive information with industry-standard SSL-encrypted firewalls. The operator also provides various tools to restrict your betting.

Software Platform and Favorite Games

Apart from the security aspect, the game library is Pino Casino's most attractive feature. The operator has tied up with a large collective of iGaming studios, many of which enjoy near-omnipresence in the industry. Hence, you can expect to play many of the most popular games played online. Other notable studios include Novomatic, Booming Games, Wazdan, Iron Dog, NoLimit City, Hacksaw, Relax, Reel Play, Puch Gaming, and Amatic, apart from many others.

The entire games library is sprawled on the home page; you can view sample games in all categories and enter the lobby by clicking on 'View All' at the top right of each section. Click on 'Games" below the main banner and then on "All Games" to see all the lobbies, like slots, blackjack, megaways, live baccarat, the general live lobby, drops & wins, and others. You can also organize games according to your favorite gaming studios. All virtual games can be played in demo mode.

The slots lobby is not only large in numbers but also multi-faceted. Traditionalists have their fill of classic and semi-classic slots, while video poker fans can play multiple titles in their favorite genres with a wide range of bonus features. There are filters to help you pick games based on features and themes, such as Football Fever by Yggdrasil, Megaways, Jackpots, Drops & Wins, and Bonus Buy games. Some of the top titles include Gates of Olympus, Midas Golden Touch, Fruit Party 1 and 2, Ramses Book, Age of Pirates, and others.

The virtual table game lobby is a bit disappointing. Not only are there a few varieties, but it is packed with live dealer games. Virtual games include variations of blackjack, roulette, poker, Hi-Lo, Sic Bo, and Pontoon, among others. However, table games are best enjoyed in a social, interactive environment, which is where the live casino comes in. You can play multiple live versions of blackjack, baccarat, poker, roulette, and game shows like Monopoly, Deal or No Deal, Gonzo's Treasure Hunt, Dream Catcher, and many others.

We missed it at first, but the home page also has a section of instant play games. It consists of popular crash games like Aviator, Spaceman, Space XY, and more. Others are arcade-style games, scratch cards, and other casual games. Pino Casino is powered by SoftSwiss, one of the most sought-after creators of iGaming platforms. SoftSwiss is also a leading games aggregator that offers solutions that seamlessly integrate with operator websites.

Pino Mobile Casino

Graphically, Pino Casino's mobile platform is as plain as the PC version. The various lobbies of the main games library lie below the main banner and have to be laterally scrolled through to access them all. The headers of the PC casino have been compressed into a pop-up menu, which is placed on a panel at the bottom of the screen along with links to the "All Games" menu, search bar, and support. You can also sign up from this panel.

The drop-down providers menu lies below the various lobbies of the "All Games" menu, as stated above. The games library is intact on the mobile casino; it remains divided into the various game categories, with the "View All" tab on the top right of each. Like on PC, you can see the number of mobile games available in each section. There are as many ways to access your desired game lobby as there are on the PC version, but on the small screen, it takes some getting used to.

You can play at Pino mobile casino online on practically all mobile devices that operate on Android, Windows Phone, iOS, and Blackberry. However, you can also play offline on the casino apps for Android and iOS devices. You can download them from the footer of the website. Here are some top games to play on the go: Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, Sweet Bonanza, Book of Demi Gods I and II, Big Bass Splash, Lightning Roulette, Mega Wheel, Boom City, Mega Ball 100x, and many more.

Compatible Devices

Big Progressive Jackpots

The jackpots section contains some heavy-duty progressive jackpots with global networks. The highest-paying games routinely reach five or six figures. Some can even become instant millionaires. You can see the current values of the biggest games. These include Beach Life (€2 million), Funky Fruits (€2 million), The Glam Life (€1 million), Pharaoh's Treasure Deluxe (€811,000+), the Age of the Gods franchise (€200,000+), Coins Coins Coins (€204,000+), Gold Rally (€221,000+), and others.

Pino Casino has both big and small jackpots. The bigger jackpots may be hit less frequently as compared to the smaller ones, but the sheer size of their values makes up for it. There are local and domestic jackpots, which usually tick into three, four, and low five figures. These can be easier to win, because there is less competition. Examples are Irish Pot Luck, Prize of the Nile, Thunder Cash: Juicy Juicy, Bett, Boris and Boo, Ali Baba's Luck, Caishen's Cash, Cirque De La Fortune, Legendary Excalibur, and more.

Other Bonuses and Promotions for New Zealand Players

There are just too many things happening at Pino Casino on the promotions front. This is not surprising since it is a relatively new venue and needs to get as many members as possible. You can find promotions and bonuses at several places on the website.

There is the main promotions page, where you can see the welcome package and all the concurrent tournaments and lotteries. The latter eight promotions can also be seen in a drop-down menu on the header titled "Events."

Other Promotions

The cashback will be credited daily and must be claimed within 24 hours of being activated. Cashback comes as bonus money and must be wagered 7 times before you can cash it out.

VIP Program

Pino Casino has a conventional VIP program where you earn loyalty, or comp points, every time you deposit to play slot games. Other games do not get you loyalty points. You get 1 point for deposits of at least €30. The VIP page or the terms do not mention whether accumulated points can be redeemed for cash, but you can use the points to join the club for VIP players. Each tier has higher point thresholds, but every time you level up, you get better privileges:

VIP rewards are subject to the VIP terms and conditions. The higher your tier, the lower will be the cashback wagering requirement. From the Silver tier onward, you also get a VIP deposit booster on Thursdays. From the Gold level onward, the wagering becomes 30x.

Customer Service and Support
