The Vegas Partner Lounge has been a leading online casino group. It operates country focussed brands like Casino Mate for Australia and Maple Casino for Canada. It also runs brands like Crazy Vegas and Golden Riviera that target global customers. Over the past few weeks Vegas Partner Lounge has made sweeping changes to its brands so as to remain ahead of the competition.

The immediate impact is visual. The landing page has been given a sleek and contemporary look. Ornate fonts have been done away with and graphics have been kept at a minimum. The focus squarely is on the online casino games, as it should be. The navigation is more user-friendly. The games are classified according to category and alphabetically and by software provider as well. They are also classified according to popularity, which is very helpful for new players. You have the choice of displaying the games in thumbnail view or list view.

The older online casinos, like those of the Vegas Partner Lounge group, ran on dedicated download platforms of single software providers. Crazy Vegas and other group casinos operated on the Viper download platform of Microgaming. The more recently launched online casinos offer games from multiple software providers on the same platform. This is a huge competitive advantage, because players need not sign up at different online casinos to get the variety they need. Now Vegas Partner Lounge online casinos have left the Microgaming software and are on an instant play platform that supports games from many software providers.

The complete range of Microgaming instant play online casino games is available. In addition, the Vegas Partner Lounge group has taken on board software providers Play ‘n Go, Betsoft, Quickspin, NetEnt, NYX Gaming and Genii. This is a huge boost for the online casino players who till now had access only to the Microgaming portfolio. Betsoft is well-known for its 3D video slots and the best of these are now available to Crazy Vegas players. Some of the other new titles are 7 Sins, Starburst and Andre the Giant. The games that were only on the Microgaming download platform have been lost. Most players will not mind this trade-off. In any event, players that are interested in downloading massive software packages are fast becoming extinct.

There is a material change in the welcome bonus package as well. Apart from the usual deposit bonus it now includes zero wager free spins. The winnings from the free spins do not have wagering requirements. Crazy Vegas offers a bonus of up to $500 on the first three deposits plus 100 free spins on Stardust.
