Review: Intercasino and VIP Casino
(Cryptologic Software)

They have excellent pay tables on video poker and the best blackjack online, including a wonderful single-deck game and multi-hand blackjack with a $1 minimum and multiple hands of $2500 maximum—enough of a spread to work with any betting system and always allow for plenty of excitement.

Both casinos send special bonus offers every month. In addition, Intercasino offers an automatic 100% match bonus up to $90 every month, while VIP offers you 5-10% of your money back if you lose (no strings attached), and an extra 1% cash back if you win—the kind of great deal you find only for whales at Las Vegas casinos! Cashouts usually take 1 or 2 days, and even the biggest wins are paid with the same speed. High rollers love these casinos.

Both VIP and Intercasino now offer Marvel Comics slots, with games featuring the Incredible Hulk or Blade or XMen, and a variety of progressive jackpots that are going off every day. VIP offers a variety of good 20-line games and the Millionaire's Club progressive slot game (among others), with jackpots in the millions.

Limits: VIP and Intercasino offer the highest limits online, with blackjack at up to multiple hands of $2500, and roulette at up to $500 inside. And when you win, you get paid the full amount in only 24-48 hours, no matter how large your victory!
