Property Name: 888.com Casino On Net

Registration and Setup: For starters, Casino On Net has a fantastic Web site. It's extremely easy to navigate and filled with almost everything you'll need to know about playing there. Their 'Getting Started' section is one of the best I've seen - complete with step-by-step instructions (and graphics) on how to begin.  The casino software is a free download. Casino On Net also has a no download version.  If you want to check out their amazing software, but don't want to spend money just yet, free-play with unlimited cash is available too. One click on the 'download' button and I was zipped through a super-fast software download and installation.

If you don't enter one, you will be given a 'Player Number' moniker.  You can play multi-player games, open a private gaming table for a particular group of friends.

Games I Played: Craps, Blackjack and Video Poker. I'm really into group activities, so I opted to play at public tables. Me and 'Bugs' and 'Player 54' enjoyed a long run at the Blackjack table!

Bonus and Incentive Programs: Among the many incentives at Casino On Net: a 100% bonus on your first deposit; an Appreciation Raffle on the 1st and 15th of the month; Tuesday Happy Hour - wager twice your deposit and you'll receive a 10% bonus (on your deposit); and Blind Happy Hours - make a deposit during the two mystery hours and you'll receive a 50% bonus (on your deposit).  There's also a nice Comp Cash program and a VIP Club.  Casino On Net offers regular game tournaments that increase winnings and add special challenges for players.

Actual time it took to receive my bonus: Instantly

Chat Rooms: Yes - In every public room there is a mini telephone. Pick it up and start 'talking.' Cool beans!

Customer Service/Tech Support Experience: If your customer service or technical support issue isn't covered on their Web site (and I'd be surprised) you can contact them 24/7 by e-mail, fax or through their Support Request Form located online. I gave their Support Request Form a try. I received an e-mail stating the time that they had received my request and that it would be answered personally soon. My personal response arrived within an hour, and included detailed answers to all of my questions.

Transaction Logging: Yes and it's ultra-hip! From the casino, select the Game History option (the clock). Choose a game from the list to see the date and time you played, your hand, the dealer's hand, what you bet, and the result! Select the Deposit or Cash-out icons for a record of all of your monetary transactions. P.S. These logs are not just a bunch of words and numbers typed into a table. All feature great little graphics! (I swear those yellowing playing cards are just like the ones my grandpa used!)

Cashing Out: Choose the 'safe' icon to visit the Cashier. Select the Cash Out option and you are taken to the Withdrawal page. From here, you can opt to have your money credited to your chargecard, sent by Wire Transfer, or deposited by Bank Draft. And according to their Web site, there are no fees. I received my check (by regular postal mail) about 15 days after cashing out.

Final Thoughts: Ya' know what I like best about this casino? It doesn't try to be what it's not. It's not a land-based casino, so it doesn't go all out to emulate one. Instead, it's taken the premise of gambling online, created some awesome graphics and sound, and turned it into a super-slick place to gamble.  Casino On Net is obviously one of the net's best casinos - hands down.  They offer the only true multi-player experience around, and playing with other real people from all over the planet makes for some truly exciting gameplay. And if you are a new player, check out Casino On Net's new tutorials for Texas Hold'em and Black Jack. Would I play there again?  I do!  Look for me at the blackjack tables!
