Software

William Hill Casino was developed by Cryptologic and runs on Windows only and a download is required at just over 13 MB for the basic casino. You download a 'lite' version (3.5MB) first which offers only Blackjack, then others may be added later with their easy to handle Upgrade-Assistant. A 'complete' casino is about 28 MB in size. William Hill Casino offers a "User Information System" backup that will save your settings on a floppy disk. This is a great idea, as you're covered in case of a disk crash or other disaster.

Minus points

William Hill Casino charges $1.00 for checks. You must wait to receive a 'Personal Identification Number' via mail before being allowed to make any withdrawals. "It's to protect the player" they argue, but it actually keeps the players' $$$ tied up for a longer time only to protect the casino.

Negativity degree: (0 = little problems)

Positive

In the betting business since 1934 in England, William Hill Casino has excellent insight into their clients' wishes and demands. With their backing by the William Hill Company, there are no doubts whatsoever about the integrity of this casino. They maintain 1500 licensed betting offices and support a staff of over 10,000. There is even a picture on the site of William Hill himself being presented to the Queen of England. With a client base of 300,00 or more, they are one of the largest bookmakers in the world. William Hill Casino is one of the casino leaders in good-looking, smooth-working gambling software. They offer an unusually wide selection of games. Highlights of their version 4.0 casino are new and enhanced single and multi-player games (Blackjack, Mini Baccarat, and Roulette) including bonus rounds and progressive games, an interactive casino floor populated with 'real' players, table and seat selection, customizable player avatars, simpler registration and enhanced download capabilities, gaming- and e-cash tutorials and advanced online purchasing capabilities. Fast, attractive and user-configurable multi-media is the heart of the system. There is a side-bar that includes a "Who's Playing" list, a live chat channel and a real-time news/stocks feed. Their E-Cash Service is famous for quick payouts, once you've completed all the necessary forms. We've never heard of anyone who has played at William Hill Casino and felt being cheated. They make a lot of information about their operation available, a sign that they are taking things seriously.

Licence

William Hill Casino operates under a gaming licence granted by the government of the Isle of Man. Established, licensed, and fully functional since 12/1/2000. To have a gaming license means that a casino is able to 1) deposit enough money yearly as a financial backup for players (approximately US $50,000 up to US $100,000 per annum), 2) pay the taxes (of about 2,5% up to 5%), and hence 3) is subject to the control of the government that issued the gaming licence in case of any disputes.
