Registration and Setup:  Software download and installation was perfect.  I encountered no problems installing the software.  The New York Casino website and the interface for software installation was quite slick looking, and it gave me a lot of anticipation as to what the casino itself would look like.  Like other Playtech-powered casinos, I quickly created a new registration account very quickly after the software installed.  It is great that you only have one form to fill out on a single page, rather than one form on 5 pages like some other casino software.  Long registrations are tedious, and New York Casino bucks that trend.  New York Casino makes it very easy for new players to register quickly and start playing.  Another cool feature that other casinos don't do, is that your registration information is carried over to the Online Bank that funds your account.  This is great because you don't have to enter your registration information a second time like other casinos make you do.  The speedy download and installation, along with a super-fast registration process had me up and playing fast, fast, fast!  Even cooler was the fact that ALL 49 games were downloaded faster than other casinos who only let you download 3-5 games, and then you download the rest later.  I don't know what's going on behind the scenes at New York Casino, but somehow I downloaded 49 games in less than a minute!

Total Registration/Setup Time:  3 minutes max.  Very fast!

Games offered:   Amazing..  With 49 games to choose from, everything you could possibly want to play is available at New York Casino.  Want to take a look at the games they offer?  Go to the New York Casino and check out the preview.  The variation here is nothing short of incredible!  A fabulous user interface menu system lets players check out games, with a nice screenshot being displayed for each.  The screenshot is visible BEFORE you click to play on the game, which is very cool.  If you want variation, New York Casino delivers, offering lots of slots, progressives, and video poker variations.  All games let you select the amounts YOU want to play with, rather than being "fixed" in to one amount.  Furthermore, you can select to play by yourself, or with other people like you in the New York Casino multiplayer games.  Regardless of what games you like, New York Casino has it for you.

Games I played:  I played a few multi-line slots variations, craps, single player blackjack, multiplayer blackjack, video poker, and a progressive poker game.

Bonus and incentive programs:  100% match bonus, 10% bonus additional for using PayPal!

Actual time it took to receive my bonus:  Immediately!  No waiting!  I deposited $50 from my NetTeller account.  It was immediately approved, and then I saw that I had $100 in my account a second later.  I love when bonuses are immediate!  Listen up casinos: this is the only way to go!  New York Casino is doing this very, very right.

Player chat room:  Yes - There's a chat option at each of the Multi-player or private group tables.  It works well and is helpful when you need some advice.

My Customer Service/Tech Support experience:  The New York Casino customer service department is top notch.  They are around to help answer questions 24/7 via a toll-free hotline, e-mail or by fax.  I called their hotline and the phone was answered within three rings by a "live" operator who was very helpful.

Transaction log:  There is a very detailed Transaction History log available in the Cashier section of the casino.  I checked my log and found it to be perfectly accurate.  New York Casino also features a terrific Game History log.  The logs are game-specific and show the date you played, your bet, the amount you won, and a blow-by-blow account of each hand played or roll of the dice.  You can access your log in the bottom right corner of each game. Again, I found this log to be right on target.  Very well done, and easy to read.

Cashing out:  To cash out, simply go to the Cashier section and choose the withdrawal option. Credit card deposits are refunded back to your card, and any amount in excess of your initial deposit will be sent by your choice of Bank Draft or Wire Transfer. There are no charges to make a withdrawal at New York Casino, and you can even track the status of your withdrawal at the transaction log.

Final Thoughts:   A few years ago, we checked out New York Casino and were only mildly impressed.  While the casino provided great bonuses and quality customer service, we found their games to be a little dull and lacking in any real "spirit."  Thankfully, things have changed at New York Casino (for the better).  Now, like the city it is named after, New York Casino is truly a grand place to visit.  Why?  For starters, New York Casino aced their old software provider, and found a quality company to partner with.  The New York Casino is now powered by Playtech, who quite possibly makes the best casino software available.  The casino's graphics are in a word: stunning.  Rich color, smooth animation, and gorgeous artwork all make New York Casino a top contender for "Best Casino Graphics."  You have to see it to believe it, and our screenshots don't do it justice.  New York Casino is a pleasure to play at.  Also, we found their games to be very fair, compared to some casinos.  We deposited $50, and happily cashed-out at well over $200 an hour and a half later.  In particular, the New York Casino slots were "loose" and huge amounts of fun.  On one slot pull, we wagered a mere 40 cents, and won $40!  Don't believe us?  See the screenshots!  All in all, New York Casino went from being, "just another casino" to being one of the best casinos we've played at in years.  Now with their new casino software, New York Casino should not be missed.
