Fortune Room Casino is part of the illustrious Fortune Lounge group and offers new players a visually rich and rewarding online gambling experience.  Having been in operation for over 5 years, they are possibly the largest group around, have a great deal of experience in the operation and promotion of online casinos and their reputation definitely precedes them. To add to this, the name Fortune Room Casino inspires notions of good fortune, luck, entertainment and excitement, all with a hint of destiny…and after hearing so much about this casino; I couldn’t wait to see if perhaps I’d have a chance to change my fortune!

The Fortune Room Casino looks great, visually rich with a real sense of promising a great gaming experience.  Also, their experience obviously comes into play in the layout and design of the page because all the information you’ll ever need regarding getting started, banking, support, promotions etc. is right at your fingertips and of course, its eCogra certified which adds to my peace of mind.
That was all I needed to be convinced to play, so I decided to get started!

Getting Started
As with most other Microgaming Casinos, Fortune Room Casino presents you with the option of downloading their casino or playing their no download Flash version known as the Lite Casino. I’ve come to realize that the download versions for the most part, include way more features, so I opted to download the casino. Once my download was complete and the software installed, I decided to take a detailed look at what welcome bonuses and promotions where on offer at this casino.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings
Fortune Room definitely offers you a wealth of promotions and bonuses, and you’re sure to find something that appeals to you within these. When visiting the casino, you won’t be able to miss Fortune Room’s latest promotional offering for new players…the 1000% Bonus Makeover, not only because it’s so prominently displayed, but also because of the sheer size of it!
Essentially, all you have to do is open a new account and deposit $50 in order to receive up to $500 free. How it works is that every dollar won is equal to a 1% purchase match, so for example, if your closing balance is equal to $212, then you will receive a 212% purchase match, with 1000% as your maximum bonus. As with all bonuses, terms and conditions apply and unless otherwise explicitly stated, all deposit match bonuses at Fortune Room have wagering requirements of 30x for the bonus credited.
There is also a bonus offering of 100% for those opting to use the Lite (Flash) Casino version and promotional codes need to be submitted in order to redeem this.

Other bonuses include, deposit bonuses for players using Click2Pay, FirePay or Neteller deposit options.
All in all, these are some of the best promotional offerings I’ve seen in ages, and while I can’t go into all the terms and conditions here, please make sure you read them so that you’re aware of what is required to be eligible for these. I decided to take advantage of their Makeover bonus (my finances definitely need a facelift after all the casino testing!) and then took a look at what their Players Club had to offer.

Fortune Lounge Players Club
As part of Fortune Lounge, Fortune Room offers free entry into their Players Club. This is a rewards program that promises generous rewards and exclusive member’s only benefits. As a member of the Players Club you will earn valuable Players Club Loyalty Points for your play at the casino and you are also entitled to a range of benefits including regular promotions and essential gaming information updates. As your membership status increases (dependant on game play, duration and loyalty), so too will your benefits.
Thoroughly impressed and determined to reach Platinum status which would earn me Bonus Points which translate into more cash every week, I headed off to try out the games.

Making the deposit
Once in the casino lobby, I made my way to the cashier in order to deposit the $50 I’d need to claim my bonus. I elected to do this via Neteller, but noticed that like other casinos out there, Fortune Room offers a host of deposit methods including Credit Cards, Bank wire, Click2Pay and UseMyWallet as well as the more unusual UKash and ClickandBuy methods.   Purchases can be made in $/€ and £.  I’m happy to wager in US$ and managed to make my deposit quickly and easily with no complications…now for the fun stuff!

Getting into the Games
The games lobby at Fortune are set out like all other Microgaming casinos, grouped by type, with a preview window enabling you to see what you’ll be playing if you choose them. The software is truly my favorite, presenting you with razor sharp graphics, lifelike audio and generally flawless game play, which means that you have a truly entertaining gaming experience.
While there is an impressive array of games available at Fortune Room, not all the games available at other Micro casinos are present. This is especially evident when it comes to the newer versions of Table Games such as Blackjack. After browsing around for a while I decided to get playing.
I always like to make sure I meet the wagering requirements for my bonus, which generally means I have to stay away from Roulette and craps, so I headed off to the Slots section of the lobby. Their slots selection is very impressive and includes a range of machines from classic
3-line machines to the latest Multi-line Video and Bonus slots. Unlike other casinos, Fortune Room has huge betting limits and allows bets up to $125 a spin on certain games! Which is sure to please big spenders and highrollers alike? I on the other hand, am not quite in that league just yet so I just enjoyed a short flutter on a couple of the lower limit games and I like to think I had just as much fun with half the stress! Either way, it’s great to have options and you’re sure to enjoy hours of entertainment.

Support
Throughout my Fortune Room experience, I hadn’t needed to contact support as everything had run rather smoothly but decided to test them for the purpose of this review. While there are a variety of contact options available including Live Chat and Toll free telephone numbers, I opted to test their e-mail response…which was obviously not the best option as I had to wait some time before receiving a response. I decided to follow up via telephone and was however, pleasantly surprised at the quality of support on hand who were more than able to answer the barrage of questions I threw at them and apologized for the delay in mail time response, which was enough to placate me and force me to use real time methods in future.

The Verdict
On the whole Fortune Room is another Microgaming success which is sure to appeal to all the highrollers out there. While it may have slightly fewer games on offer than the other casinos out there, its games variety is still impressive and sure to provide hours of entertainment. Their support may be a tad slow but make up for it in quality. Above all though, their promotional offerings and Rewards program (which may be the best around) definitely add a very personal touch and help you to overlook any small niggles you may have as you are treated like a VIP from the very start!
I highly recommend playing at this casino and will be sure to return myself in the near future.
