The Game Assists interface is developed to also give Phoenician Casino users the option to play games on mobile devices. And countless tablets and smartphones are accessible if they are powered by iOS or Android. Among the top Android manufacturers are Samsung, Sony and HTC, while Apple is solely responsible for iOS.
We appreciated the mobile functionality while conducting this Canada review. Phoenician Casino didn't require installation and the lobby could change in dimension to fit several popular screen sizes. For review readers, we just want you to know that your connection matters when playing on a mobile. And we don't just mean speed, as public web connections can be at risk of security breaches.
With the live casino, Phoenician can send review readers off to a specialised lobby powered by Evolution Gaming. Microgaming isn't a specialist in live casino software and has wisely outsourced this element of the experience to Evolution. This is all for the better, however, as the Evolution lobby lets users review their seating options and the cost of wagering before entering a game.
We found a few eye-catching tables during this review, including Dream Catcher, Mega Ball and Monopoly, which is a live casino version of the classic board game. Review readers can also play more familiar live dealer tables such as Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Casino Hold'em, Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and Super Sic Bo.
No deposit is needed to view any game offered at Phoenician. A tap of the cursor can open a game and allow you to review the wagering options and special features, which can include free spins as part of some bonus rounds in video slots. Of course, viewing the gaming options with no deposit does mean that wagering is off the table until a stake is transferred.
Phoenician Casino carries a superb range of video slots from Microgaming and various titles carry bonus features and free spins. Look for free spins in the likes of Agent Jane Blonde Returns, A Dark Matter, Amazing Aztecs, Aurora Wilds, Book of Oz, Break Away Deluxe, Forbidden Throne, Girls with Guns and Betty's Full Service (includes an option to buy free spins.
While casino tables lack the free spins, bonus features or stories of video slots, they can be played with virtual dealers and offer classic casino experiences with high-end graphical designs. Blackjack tables have been secured with rules from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, while the Roulette tables have US or European rules.
If you'd rather try video pokers, then check out Aces & Eights, Aces & Faces, All Aces, Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild or Double Double Bonus Poker. Plus, there are Variety options like Lost Vegas Scratch, Immortal Romance Scratch, Super Showball, Poke the Guy and Queen of the Crystal Rays.
All games and software are independently tested at routine intervals by eCOGRA. These were the latest payout percentages to features in the eCOGRA report at the time of this Phoenician Casino Canada review:
Phoenician Casino updates a monthly list of winners that were available for us to review. We were pleased that many of the winners are from Canada and that their winnings are reported in CAD. During our review, we noticed RY won $10,880 on Avalon, LL won $6,000 on 9 Pots of Gold and LW won $2,341.60 on Mega Moolah Isis.
Exclusive access can be enjoyed on two progressive jackpot slots, which are Treasure Quest and Mega Vault Millionaire. The remaining jackpot slots are more widely accessible and include Treasure Nile and Cash Splash next to the multi-million-dollar prospects of Atlantean Treasures and Mega Moolah.
Review readers can access the cashier after setting up an account with Casino Phoenician Canada. For new players, the deposit methods include VISA, MasterCard, Interac, eCheck, Citadel, Instadebit, MuchBetter, iDebit, Flexepin, ecoPayz, paysafecard, ecoVoucher and Neosurf. With all of those options, no deposit needs to be completed outside of CAD.
Before a withdrawal can be processed, CasinoPhoenician can request players to undertake an anti-fraud fraud review in which ID document images are submitted. In a month, Phoenician was willing to let players withdraw up to $16,000 in CAD as of this Canada review. Another important function is the ability for players to review their past transactions.
After creating an account with PhoenicianCasino, users can receive 24/7 live support by accessing the chat platform that's operated by Casino Rewards as the brand and network operator. To accept attachments, Phoenician maintains a general support email address. Before reaching the lobby, Phoenician's initial site can supply information relating to bonus terms, fair play, privacy and frequently asked questions.
Security can never be underestimated and Phoenician Casino Canada uses certified encryption across the initial site and browser-based lobby. This status is signified by the lock images displayed beside Phoenician's web address. For the most diligent review readers, the latest version of the encryption certificate can be viewed from that icon. Just to be clear, encryption is what prevents outsiders from gaining unwanted access.
On Phoenician's main site, there's a complete page on fairness. From there, players can review the current report on payout percentages, which is generated periodically following independent testing from eCOGRA. In addition to a Safe and Fair Seal from eCOGRA, Phoenician's fairness is further proven by the holding of a licence from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC).
Phoenician Casino Canada only dates back to 2004, which is long after the Phoenician culture was established in 2500BC. General operations are now handled under a KGC licence by Casino Rewards, which is also responsible for running more than a dozen other brands on the same network.
In this Canada review, we examined Phoenician across several known casino portals and didn't encounter any player complaints, which is certainly positive. This would suggest Phoenician is doing an effective job of responding directly to player complaints. If anything should happen to the contrary, review readers should know that complaints can also be raised with the KGC.
Only a small number of restricted locations are listed in the T&Cs of Phoenician Casino Canada. Those where no deposit can be completed include Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, North Korea, Republic of Guinea, Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, Sudan, US (including overseas territories) and Zimbabwe.
Phoenician Casino Canada operates with a more advanced gaming interface than some of the older brands on the network. What this means is that French-speakers living here in Canada can easily switch the language from English with the aid of a simple dropdown menu.
After selecting the preferred language, review readers can complete a registration form that automatically enters Canada as the country and then the correct province in the state area. Review readers can also confirm the currency to make certain that no deposit is completed in anything but CAD.
Much has been learned in this review process, including that Phoenician Casino is equipped to facilitate a fast registration due to geolocation tracking and the pre-emptive completion of data fields. Thus, review readers are soon able to cast their eyes toward the $1,200 bonus package, which is entirely comprised of credit rather than no deposit free spins.
In this review, we realised that Phoenician Casino Canada runs on a more advanced version of the standard software platform used across Casino Rewards. This led to smoother performance and a larger range of features for players to use on the web-based platform. Review readers are also likely to enjoy the 500+ range of games available from Evolution Gaming and Microgaming.
