Drake Casino Review

Software

While the website doesn’t really aesthetically impress, the software is stable and can provide plenty of gaming options for customers who decide to join. The main software provider is Betsoft Gaming and some of the famous characters from its slots are shown on the promotional banner to welcome new players. There are also a handful of games from Arrow's Edge, a much smaller online casino game developer.

The casino software helps increase the rating for Drake Casino as there are various games which have been optimized for Apple and Android devices. These include popular slots and some table games which load quickly from a smartphone or a tablet device without the need to download additional apps.

Games

Great games are the hallmark of great casinos, and Drake Casino is no exception. Of course, you should keep in mind that while everything here is real money, this is not a mega casino with 1,000+ games. In fact, they have deliberately made things smaller, focusing on higher quality. Being able to choose from approximately 200 games that all work very well should be plenty of variety to keep players excited.

Almost everyone seems to enjoy slots, and you'll find the whole gamut here at Drake Casino. This means everything from classic three-reel slots, all the way up to the most modern 3D five-reel video slot machines with all the bells and whistles. There are even two dozen progressive jackpot slot machines that you should give a try, since a single well-placed spin could result in your attainment of instant millionaire status.

If you are more interested in classic casino offerings like blackjack and roulette, you will also enjoy it here. Not only will you find classic games, but a number of new twists on these (and other) favorites. Might we suggest trying the 22 burn blackjack—this one allows you to burn a single card that has already been dealt to you. Or, try the Zoom roulette for a completely new way of playing the game. Plus, there are high roller tables for those preferring high stakes.

This is really just a small taste of what Drake has in store for you. There is also baccarat, craps, scratch cards, and a bunch more. There are regularly scheduled tournaments that can be quite enjoyable to participate in for fun, or cash and prizes. If you like poker, they have multiple variations of video poker machines along with Caribbean poker, Caribbean stud poker, Let it Ride, Pai Gow poker, Oasis poker, Red Dog, Triple Edge Poker, and more.

Banking

If you really get right down to it, one of the primary functions of an online casino is to move money in and out of their site. To this end, Drake offers players some of the most popular banking methods, available on both desktop and mobile devices.

The minimum deposit available at Drake is about $10, and even though they don't have a huge range of banking options, you can still be sure that your money will be transferred quickly and easily. Certainly, making a deposit is a lot easier than withdrawing, although this is the case with most casino online sites today.

The speed at which you receive your money depends on a number of things. This is one of the few areas where the Drake Casino seems to fall short, with their bank wire transfer withdrawal process taking up to 12 days for you to get your money. They do have a few other methods of withdrawal, some of which could be available in as little as 48 hours. Interestingly, most of those are also versions of wire transfers. Credit card cash back transfers are also possible, but also suffer from rejection rates and the possible need for performing additional identity verification (it involves faxing or emailing some documents).

The other problem here is that the site charges fees and imposes minimum and maximum amounts on your withdrawals. For example, a bank wire will cost at least $50, plus it needs to be a minimum of $100 (and a maximum of $3,000). There are additional rules, so be sure to check before initiating such a process.
