Raging Bull Casino Review

Fans of Realtime Gaming pokies and table games are encouraged to visit Raging Bull which accepts New Zealand players and offers them 7 deposit options, 2 withdrawal methods, 80+ regular pokies and 40+ games with a local progressive jackpot. Sign up takes just 2-3 minutes with no email verification needed and a player may then continue visiting the online casino in a browser or download RTG’s branded software and play on a desktop computer or laptop. Bonuses are numerous and a player will always see at least 10 of them on the Promotions tab. The only thing that some players may not like is that bonuses are sticky, meaning they cannot be cashed in as they are granted only for betting purposes. Though Raging Bull Casino looks like many other legal RTG-powered sites, it is recommended for signing up and playing because of reliable, unstressed withdrawal formalities and time-proven reputation.

The online casino is focused primarily on Australian players, that is why its only currency is AUD, yet players from New Zealand can easily deposit NZD (or bitcoin) and the amount will be automatically exchanged into AUD. Anyway, for any questions, there is an email address and live chat for urgent questions and requests. Also worth noting that the Live Chat is only available to depositing players so before making the first deposit to the account, a player will not be able to contact Support guys via the live chat.   

Banking options in Raging Bull Casino

Players may place a deposit after sign up using the following methods: Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards, American Express/Discover Card, eZee Wallet, bitcoin, Neosurf and Players Rewards Card. The minimum amount offered on the banking page is $20 for all methods, while max varies. All payment options exercise instant funding, and the online casino applies no fees on its side.

A player may create a withdrawal request by entering a withdrawal amount and picking Wire Transfer ($100–$2500 per transaction) or bitcoin ($100–$2500). All amounts are displayed in AUD, so a player should mind the currency exchange (e.g. AUD to BTC).

Withdrawal requests are first reviewed for eligibility within 3–5 days. Then eligible requests are approved (or declined in some cases) within a week after the request date. New players who perform their first withdrawal activities in the casino need to pass the industry’s standard verification that takes around 2–3 days. Depending on the payment processor, Raging Bull Casino may incur a processing fee of up to $40.   

Review of video pokies in Raging Bull Casino

The lobby contains the following self-explanatory sections: Featured Games, Jackpots Games, Recently Released and Recommended Games. The mentioned sections are present in the mobile casino, too. If a new player who has never tried RTG pokies wants to pick a game, it is advised that he should hover over its thumbnail in the lobby. This results on a looped animation of the reels spinning and thus showing quickly what the pokie is about. Heart icons next to each thumbnail allow one to add the related pokie to My Favorites so they are easier to access.

There are some 130 games at the moment the review is being created. This total number will certainly increase over time since Realtime Gaming usually releases 1 or 2 games monthly. Above the pokie thumbnails, there are two dropdown lists for player’s customization. The <i>Sort By</i> dropdown has six sorting options such as A–Z, Z–A and Newest–Oldest. The <i>Themes</i> list shows 18 options including Fantasy, History and Space.

RTG pokies are designed to cater to everyone. Players preferring simplicity and straightforward action will be able to find here many games with just one or two bonus features, like wild symbols and scatters. For more exquisite online casino experience, there are lots of five-reel pokies with more advanced bonus features. Some of the most bonus-packed video pokies are:

• Diamond Fiesta ($0.5–$50 per spin): a 8×4 grid during a feature; wild, scatter, Jackpot Diamond feature  
• Naughty or Nice III ($0.30–$30 per spin): local progressives, two Grouped Wilds, free spins, two bonus features linked to either character
• Stardust ($0.40–$20 per spin): 243 ways, two wilds, scatter, free games, a random Lucky feature

Unique RTG pokie features in Raging Bull Casino

Besides local progressives that are highlighted in the next paragraph, RTG pokies carry at least two unique bonuses that are utilized nowhere else or very rarely. The first one is Win-Win found in Triple Twister and Bubble Bubble 2 among others. The Win-Win feature awards a real money reward if the total win from a free spin feature is x10 the bet or less. If there are no wins at all, the prize of x100 bet will be given.

For more in-game action, New Zealand players should test IC Wins, a medium-volatility pokie set in wintery time in Alaska. It features a unique guaranteed respin win with a multiplier of x1 to x7. Lucky 6 is another video pokie with a very rare feature, the likes of which are found in games by other providers. Lucky 6 has five scatters, each corresponding to one of five letters of the pokie’s name. When all the five appear on their respective reels (1 to 5), thus compiling the word “LUCKY”, the player receives a cool cash prize.

Progressive pokies in Raging Bull Casino

With a purpose of gathering progressive pokies in one place, a player should sort the list by Biggest Jackpots, which leads to displaying all pokies with a progressive feature in the descending order of a currently available jackpot prize. Anyway, RTG pokies are highly appealing for some NZ players who hunt for local progressive jackpots. Today, the provider has on stock over 40 games with 1 to 4 built-in jackpots that grow bigger with each real money bet.

A typical online casino pokie of this kind, like Football Fortunes, has Minor (smaller) and Major (higher) jackpot that can be scooped at the end of any spin. A jackpot contribution to the pool is no more than 1.5% of the real money bet and is taken randomly. An average size of the grand prize rarely goes beyond $30,000 and in most games, it usually measures up to $10,000 until being won.

Table games and video poker

Roulette is put into the Specialty Games section which also contains a few arcade games such as Treasure Tree and Fish Catch. In total, a player will find here 7 games such as American Roulette, European Roulette, keno and craps. Graphics in roulette are outdated by modern standards and the table limits are $1 and $250 for any inside and outside bet.

In the Table Games tab, there are 8 blackjack titles, baccarat and a couple of poker variations. RTG blackjack appeals to many fans as it tends to offer side bets and bonus payouts in addition to regular 3:2 and 1:1 odds. In Blackjack + Perfect Pairs, an online casino player gets paid 25:1 if the first two cards got dealt to him are identical in suit and rank. Similarly, Suit ’Em Up blackjack will see the player receive 60 to 1 when getting two suited aces in the hand.

Video poker is available in 14 variants such as Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Joker Poker. All games have a single-hand format and offer a Double or Nothing bonus round after a winning round. Bet sizes vary between $0.05 and $5 per deal. Mobile casino players see the same number of video poker games on their devices.

Bonus system in Raging Bull Casino 

There are no bonuses dedicated to new players. The entire bonus program can be used by any players, both new members and regulars. So right after creating an account and at any time after that, a player may click on the Promos button and pick any bonus. Listed are the following offers:

• 250% No Max deposit bonus up to $1000 for deposits of $50+
• 300% deposit bonus and 30 free spins on an all new pokie
• 280% deposit bonus for deposits of $60+

Other bonuses usually follow the same principles as above. Bonuses presented as a match to deposits usually require a x30 playthrough. Free spins usually have a x5 WR on winnings. Also a player should keep in mind the bonuses cannot be cashed out. When the WR are complete, the bonus amount is removed from the balance, with only winnings being left untouched. 

Bottom line on Raging Bull Casino

This is a legit, very reliable RTG-only online casino with the full collection of this provider and no live dealer games. A player can select to play in a browser or install the RTG high-quality software. The bonus program is very good but all bonuses are sticky. There are no tournaments in Raging Bull Casino. Payment options are not numerous (bitcoin can be deposited and withdrawn but its betting is not allowed).
