This is not the first casino to be called Go Casino, nor for that matter is it the first Go Casino to operate from the domain of GoCasino.com. That said, this new Go Casino has no relation to the original Playtech-powered one. The Go Casino in question opened for operation in 2009 on the relatively new but increasingly popular Vegas Technology platform. By most longtime casino players' standards it's still a new site, but give it a few years and it will be the only Go Casino anyone remembers.

Go Casino puts a new spin on the classic (aka tacky) online casino design. While the site utilizes an eye-popping color scheme that includes bright yellow text or backgrounds and a green and purple logo, it still manages to come off pretty sleek. Even sleeker, though, are Go Casino's game screens. Quite frankly the table games are beautiful with true 3D animation that really adds depth to everything from a simple blackjack hand to the infinitely more complex but still stylish roulette wheel.

Navigation of both the site and the casino is simple and straightforward. Everything's where you'd expect to find it which makes getting to your favorite games or getting an answer to a pressing question quick and stress-free. If we have to criticize something about the site, it would be the tiny, aneurism-inducing script on the subpages which all feature the same design right down to the promo bar on the right-hand side. Oh yeah, and we could do without the pop-ups.

If you like the game screen graphics as much as we do, then give a hand to Vegas Technology. This up-and-coming software company has really done itself proud with the table games at Go Casino. Not only do the games look good, but they play well too. We experienced nary a glitch while sampling several of the site's most popular games. Everything round and every hand played out as fast (or faster) than the real thing.

So you already know that the games look good; now you're probably wondering if Go Casino offers games that you actually want to play. The good news is that their game selection is large enough and varied enough to please even casino snobs. They've currently got a roster of over 100 games, and as a new casino you can bet that they'll be adding more.

Like most online casinos, the lion's share of Go Casino's game selection is in slots titles, but they also offer all the core table games plus several video poker variations and a few worthwhile one-offs like Tri Card Poker and 10 High Hold'em. They've got progressives not just on their slots but also at the blackjack and Island Stud poker tables.

What we really like about Go Casino's games though are the tournaments. They've got daily, weekly and monthly tournaments for slots, blackjack, roulette, Casino Hold'em and video poker. The site's got a whole slew of ongoing tournament promotions that promise big prizes for little to no buy-in. Buy-ins range from free entry for a $100 prize pool to $25 for a $25,000 guaranteed.

There's a lot worth recommending at Go Casino, but what the site will probably always be known for is its Welcome Bonus - $20,000 is a number that's guaranteed to get some attention, especially in an industry where the average bonus is in the hundreds. Of course what many newbs fail to realize is that that $20,000 is cumulative for a player's first 20 deposits. And that's only if they make the maximum deposit and earn their bonus cash within the timeline of the terms. Still, even the first deposit bonus at Go Casino is above average with a 100% match good for up to $1000. Even better, the bonus is credited automatically. After the first deposit it's worth noting that a majority of the remaining 20 matches are only 50% and that players must remember to use their codes to claim their cash.

Go Casino proudly promises 24/7 live support, and from what we've heard they deliver. Unlike some online casinos that only offer email support, Go Casino posts a country-specific toll-free customer service number at the top of every page on their site, and their Contact Us page also offers a fax number plus two different email contacts in addition to a fairly comprehensive FAQ page.

Because of the past history of this site's domain, many people are calling it "The New Go Casino," but with everything this all-around solid site has to offer we're confident that in a few years it'll simply be THE Go Casino.
