At less than five years old, Superior Casino has managed to achieve what many older (and younger) casinos continue to aspire to but may never reach. Namely, the site offers the kind of experience that makes it easy for players to trade in their live slot club card for an online membership. The site has received especially high praise for its i-Slots series of games, which we discuss in more detail below.

When it comes to theme, Superior Casino has a distinctly European feel. Both the site and the casino lobby have the dark and rich ambiance of an old fashioned smoking room. It's a nice change from the wacky and tacky themes currently favored by a large majority of online casinos.

Not only is the overall look of the site nice, but Superior Casino is also extremely user-friendly. Every page of the site loads without hesitation, and all the most pertinent information is easy to find. International players will also be relieved to hear that the site offers eight currencies and eight languages. Our only complaints are that the cramped and overly bright text is hard on the eyes, and the FAQ page is far too short and not directly directly linked to the home page.

In every way Superior Casino gives the impression that it's an establishment that seeks out the best. To some players, it might seem surprising then that Superior chose the lesser known Rival company to design their site software, but once you play we have a feeling you'll understand. While Superior Casino offers a sufficient flash version of their site, players that decline the download will not only be missing out on half the game selection, they'll be missing out on the wonderful software.

Superior's Rival platform is impeccable. Truly. And even better, because the software is uncommon many of the game and player features are a pleasant surprise. What's especially nice is that nothing is sacrificed in game design. Not only are the games beautifully depicted, but they load without lag and play glitch-free, even on older computers. Once again, Superior's software inspired very few complaints. The most notably one is that their payout is moderate at best - not loose but not quite tight – with a slightly less than average overall site payout of around 97%.

Superior Casino is clearly a site that ranks quality over quantity, with less than 100 casino games to choose from. We love the look and feel of every single one of their games, but their table game selection is clearly lacking. Non-slots players have seven video poker variants to choose from, only two blackjack games, and both American and European roulette wheels. Your other table game options? Baccarat, Caribbean Stud Poker, Craps, Let It Ride, Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog, Three Card Poker and War. Video poker excluded, that's only 12 to choose from. They liven things up a little (just a little) by also offering scratch cards and keno.

Where Superior Casino makes amends is with their slots, namely their i-Slots. These must-try video slots games not only offer cutting edge graphics and the very best bonus games, but they also have storylines that evolve as you play. We only wish that the i-Slots could be played in tournament mode. Furthermore, the site's five relatively small progressive jackpots hardly make amends.

If you like free cash (and who doesn't) then you'll love Superior Casino's $20 no deposit bonus. It's a great, risk-free way to try the site. Once you're ready to deposit, Superior Casino also offers a nice multi-deposit welcome bonus. Slots players get a first deposit match of 100% good for up to $1000, and players of all other games get a first match of a 100% good for up to $500. Slots players then receive another 100% match on their third and fourth deposits, good for $400 and $500 respectively, while other game players also get two more 100% matches good for $300 and $200.

The Superior Casino has a good ongoing rewards program that offers player regular match bonuses, cashback, double and triple point events, and prize giveaways (called Freebie Mania).

Superior Casino not only gives players access to their complete transaction history, but also provides recent game play history, so players doing their own research can easily compute the average payout of all the games they prefer. It's a level of openness that's almost entirely unheard of in online gambling. We only wish that Superior's support department was as accessible. While live chat insures a rapid answer for players able to open the service, players with more serious technical bugs are limited to a couple phone numbers, a fax, one email address and an abbreviated FAQ page that doesn't nearly cover the necessities.

Finally! A casino that lives up to its name! With some of the most exciting slots in the industry, heartbreakingly good graphics, and a whole slew of generous ongoing promotions, we find Superior Casino all-too-easy to recommend.
