Mummy's Gold Casino Review

3.7/5

Back in 1986 the musical group known as The Bangles had a No. 1 hit called "Walk Like an Egyptian." Now, Mummy's Gold Online Casino is giving you a chance to play like an Egyptian!

Of course, when you log on to play, you are still sitting at your computer, but the grand entrance to a pyramid beckoning you to enter and uncover its riches makes you feel like you are being transported to another time and place. It's a strange juxtaposition of the mystical world of ancient Egypt (pharaohs, pyramids, and mummies) with 21st century technology, but it works because you are suddenly curious to see if you might be able to dig up some hidden gold treasure for yourself.

Mummy's Gold Casino was first launched in 2002. Along with several other online casinos (reviewed separately), Mummy's Gold belongs to the esteemed Palace Group of casinos. Mummy's Gold, like the other Palace Group casinos, is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, eCogra certified and powered by Microgaming software.

Pros

  • Online since 2002
  • Also playable in flash version and on some mobile devices
  • Powered by state-of-the-art Microgaming software
  • eCogra certified
  • More than 250 games
  • Part of the Microgaming progressive jackpot network
  • Very high payouts (about 95% for all games combined)
  • Offers many secure banking options
  • Loyalty rewards program and monthly player newsletter
  • 24/7 customer support in multiple languages

Cons

  • No U.S. or UK players allowed
  • Software downloading could be faster.
  • 50x playthrough on Welcome Bonus
  • Welcome Bonus money near useless for non-slot play
  • No live dealer games
  • Mobile options, though offered, are not discussed on the website.

Mummy's Gold does not offer anywhere near the same enormous selection of games as Spin Palace and Ruby Fortune, but it does offer the variety and quality you would expect from a Microgaming casino. Slot players and table game players alike will have no problem finding games that appeal to them at stakes they want to play.

The casino is very popular and has an international following. Multiple languages and currencies are supported. Unfortunately, no one from the U.S. or UK is allowed to play.

Software and Range of Games

4.4/5

Software

Mummy's Gold Casino is powered by state-of-the-art software from Microgaming, a name you can trust for both consistency and reliability of service and technologically superior products. The theme of this casino notwithstanding, there is no chance of the games being "mummified" because the Microgaming software and Mummy's Gold Casino software are continually being updated. The graphics, sounds and animations are on a par with what you will find at a high level new online casino.

The Mummy’s Gold games can be accessed in your choice of three convenient ways. The first is to download the user friendly software onto your computer. However, the process is slower than at many other online casinos. Depending on your computer, you will need to allow 7-15 minutes. But it will be worth the wait because you then have access to all of the casino’s games. Or, if you prefer, there is also a no download instant play flash version which lets you play on any browser. You won’t have access to all of the games in instant play, but you will still be able to play many of them. Lastly, if you own a supported mobile device, you can enjoy the added convenience of the option to play select games on the go on your smartphone or tablet. Unfortunately, the casino’s website is not forthcoming about its mobile platform, so accurate information is hard to come by. Hopefully, Mummy’s Gold will correct this omission soon so that the many players who would like to try this option can be better informed. See the next section for a brief review of what Mummy’s Gold Casino has to offer mobile players.


Mummy’s Gold Games

If you download the software onto your computer, you will have about 250 games to choose from, not what you would call a huge casino by any means (compared to Ruby Fortune's 500+ games, for example), but still more than enough to meet most players' needs. It is also a manageable number of games, so it will not take you forever to make up your mind what to play. Since Mummy's Gold is on Microgaming's list to regularly receive new releases, not only should the total number of games increase over time, but you can enjoy early access to some of these exciting new games.

All of the games are listed in the lobby where they are conveniently organized by category. Another nice feature is that you can click on any game you are interested in for a brief description, which will help you decide if this a game you would like to play. In addition, the casino gives you the option to play any game you wish except the progressive jackpot games for free, but only if you open a special “guest account.” You then receive 2,000 credits which you can use to try out different games.

The guest account option is useful, particularly with a new game you are not familiar with, since you can use play money to test the waters before committing yourself to real money. But unfortunately, while you can replace your guest account with a real money account whenever you are ready, it does not appear that the casino will let you open both a guest account and a real money account at the same time. That way you would be able to choose for any given game whether you want to use play money or real money, i.e., bet real money on the games you are sure you want to play and play money on those games where you are unsure.


Slots

If you are a slots player, you can pick your favorites from an impressive collection of more than 100 slots. Your options include 3-Reel Slot Games, 5-Reel Slot Games, Feature Slot Games, Mega Spin Slot Games, and Progressive Jackpot Slot Games. If you prefer simple, traditional slots, you should choose one of the games with 3-reels. But if action and excitement are what you crave, look no further than the video, mega spin, and progressive slots. The largest slot category consists of the Feature Slot Games, all of which are themed video slots. Or, for an even bigger rush, the slots that offer the mega spin feature allow you to play multiple machines simultaneously. Or try your luck one one of 15 progressive jackpot machines, where all it takes is one lucky spin to make a player (maybe you) an instant multimillionaire.

Some of the most popular slots at Mummy’s Gold are, understandably, those with Egyptian themes like Phararoh’s Tomb, Tomb Raider, and Isis and the progressive slot Cleopatra's Nile. Speaking of progressives, since Mummy's Gold is included in the multi-casino Microgaming Jackpot Network shared prize pool, the steadily building top jackpots are enormous.


Table Games

Mummy's Gold Casino not only offers slots, video poker, keno, and scratch cards, but is also home to a large variety of table games. These not only include all the familiar favorites, but many variations of both blackjack and roulette that you probably never had a chance to play before. If you are playing in a land-based casino, you will most likely to have to settle for the one or two variations of the game typically played in that location, but at Mummy's Gold, you're the one deciding what type of blackjack you want to play. Atlantic City, European, Vegas Strip, and Vegas Downtown are all offered, for example.

Or perhaps you would like to try multi-hand, double exposure, or bonus blackjack. If roulette is your favorite game, you might want to try European or French roulette with just a single zero over the tougher on the player American roulette with a double zero. Or add some excitement to your roulette play with the progressive jackpot game Roulette Royale.

Mummy's Gold is a casino that caters to all types of players. So, regardless of bankroll and skill level, you can readily find, settle into, and enjoy a game that is just right for you. Penny machine players and high end players are equally welcome.

Unfortunately, Mummy's Gold Casino does not have any live dealer games. These games, perhaps more than any other, narrow the realism gap between online casinos and actual brick and mortar casinos, and many online casinos offer them. Live dealer games would be a great addition to Mummy's Gold Casino.

Mummy’s Gold Mobile Options

3.9/5

When we last reviewed Mummy’s Gold Casino in 2014, we were surprised to discover that it lacked a mobile platform. We are happy to be able to report now that this casino does offer mobile games, but disappointed that the option isn’t being promoted and new players are basically left in the dark both about how to proceed and what games and promotions will be available to them if they use a mobile device.

Needing to rely on a computer to play can be frustrating for people who are rarely home. More people than ever before who enjoy online gambling fall into that category. They find using a mobile device to play their favorite casino games to be a practical solution and far more enjoyable than twiddling their thumbs when they are away from home and have some downtime. Therefore, to keep up with the times, it is imperative that casinos not only utilize the advanced mobile technology available to them but make access to their mobile games as easy and as user-friendly as possible. Instead of separate apps requiring downloading on either Apple iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) or Android phones and tablets and limiting play to just a few games, one multi-purpose app should be compatible with almost all devices and allow play on many games. In addition, the most advanced mobile casinos do not require any downloading by the user at all. Instead, players can simply use the browser on their smartphone or tablet to access the game of their choice, which saves a lot of time.

The extent to which the Mummy’s Gold Casino mobile platform offers the aforementioned advanced features is not clear, but it can probably be assumed, due to the lack of promotion, that this casino’s mobile platform is very limited. The casino has reportedly released one app that is compatible with some iPhones and iPads and another that is compatible with some Android devices. That is all we can say since there is no mention of mobile games at all on www.mummysgold.com and the information provided elsewhere online is conflicting. We therefore highly recommend that you contact Customer Support, describe your mobile device, find out if it is supported, and if so, what games you can play on it and how to access them. You can also visit the Mummy’s Gold website from your smartphone or tablet, which should take you directly to the Mummy’s Gold mobile casino.

Security & Fair Play

Welcome Bonus

Mummy's Gold Casino previously offered $500 as a "free play" bonus. Players were given an hour only to try to win as much as they could with the casino's money, without having to risk theirs. The catch was that you could only keep up to $100 of your winnings and not the bonus itself.

Now, it appears, the free play bonus is no more. But instead, you get an even better real money bonus of up to $500. What makes it better, of course, is no cap on how much you can win. In addition, provided you meet the playthrough requirements, you can keep the bonus.

Some online casinos advertise Welcome Bonuses not in the hundreds of dollars, but in the thousands of dollars. But you need to be careful and read all the fine print. More often than not, most players find these "enormous" bonuses almost worthless because there is no way they can realistically meet the deposit and betting requirements.

The current Mummy's Gold Welcome Bonus consists of a 100% match of your first deposit up to $500. The required playthrough for withdrawal is 50x the bonus. While the bonus must be claimed within one week of opening your account, you are given two months to complete the playthrough, which is very reasonable. However, only slots and parlor games count 100%. While great for slot play, since other games count substantially less or not at all, the Mummy's Gold bonus is practically useless for playing anything else.

Even with these restrictions and the hefty wagering requirement, the bonus terms are much better than at many online casinos. Some casinos not only make you play through both the bonus and your associated deposit many times, but, when all is said and done, they take back the bonus!

Still, the 50x playthrough is high, so only deposit $500 and take the $500 maximum bonus if you can afford to bet $500 50x. If not, deposit less for a smaller bonus. The minimum deposit is only $20.


Loyalty Program

At Mummy's Gold, the casino's recognition and appreciation of you as a player continues long after the Welcome Bonus. Starting on day 1, every player becomes a member of the casinos 6-tiered loyalty club. The six levels are Blue, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Prive. Everyone starts out at the Blue level, but with a gift from the casino of 500 free loyalty points on which to keep building more.

Slots, parlor games, and American roulette earn points at the fastest rate, one point for every $10 wagered. Other games also count but at a much lower rate. But every month, if you play selected games, you can earn double or triple points. Every 1,000 points is exchangeable for $10 in free credits.

As you move up in loyalty level, your rewards get bigger and better. All players receive extra bonuses, tournament invitations, and other special promotions, but higher level players receive a lot more. Selected players at the Gold and Platinum levels and all Diamond and Prive level players enjoy the additional benefit of their own personal account manager, bigger bonuses, special gifts, and exclusive invitations. Diamond and Prive members also receive faster withdrawals and invitations to world class sporting events and customized special offers and gifts.

You don't have to be a high roller, though, to have full access to the 250+ games, loyalty rewards program, and many promotions open to everyone. A monthly newsletter will keep you informed about the latest promotions, cash prize competitions, and other casino news.


Customer Support

Customer Support is available in multiple languages 24/7 to answer all questions and concerns. You can access the service via live chat, phone, or email.

Conclusion

3.7/5

Mummy's Gold Casino has plenty of strengths but it falls short when compared to the leading websites. Our rating reveals that there are some parts of the casino which we didn’t fully love. Although it is powered by one of the largest developers in the industry, not all of the games from Microgaming are featured and the collection is actually smaller than what we know the provider to have in its portfolio. The website design keeps the classic casino layout which is easy to navigate and casual players will likely have a good time here, especially since they can get a large bonus for playing slots.

The review also found the mobile casino to be decent, although the site doesn’t offer a lot of information about this platform. Customer support can help out if more answers are needed and the service is actually pretty good in multiple languages.
