Desert Nights Casino Review

Desert Nights Casino is part of the group of casinos owned and operated by the Deckmedia Group. This is a group that is also responsible for brands like Spartan Slots Casino, Black Diamond Casino, Box 24 Casino and Red Stag Casino. You can find our reviews of all their brands right here at Legit Gambling Sites.

I like the fact that a company like Deckmedia has several different brands that are using different providers. Many times a casino group can get stuck just pushing out carbon copies of their most popular brands, but we all become more savvy about researching casinos and their backgrounds (I mean, you are reading this review, right?). As far as I can tell, Deckmedia is trying to make each of their brands have a very different look to them, which I also think is valuable in trying to cross-promote their brands to inactive players.

The Deckmedia Group of casinos, including Desert Nights Casino, are licensed by the gaming authority of Curacao. For those of you who don’t know where Curacao is located, it is a small island off the coast of Venezuela that is a Dutch province. A small island becoming a place where online casinos can receive a license is nothing new; it’s really more of a cash grab by the country, and there are all too many operators willing to plunk down the cash to get the seal of approval.

As I mentioned earlier, Deckmedia has relationships with several online casino providers. Desert Nights Casino has selected to use Rival Gaming’s offering. I did see in some older reviews that this casino was using Real Time Gaming software, but this does not seem to be the case at the time of writing this review in 2017. I am not sure why the change happened; usually, it isn’t a good sign when a casino switches platforms entirely. It doesn’t seem like anything too bad happened here, though; Deckmedia does maintain brands using RTG, so maybe it was just a case of wanting to split their assets a little differently.

Whatever the reason, I am comfortable with Rival as a choice for Desert Nights Casino as they have been in the market for well over a decade and continue to innovate rather than resting on their laurels.

Desert Nights Casino doesn’t do a great job in trying to get you to come back on a regular basis, at least from a promotional standpoint. It’s a total bummer to get all the way to their promotions page to simply find a couple of re-worded deposit bonuses.

It would be nice to see some tournaments or leaderboards strewn in there, and I am hopeful that Deckmedia will get around to updating the Desert Nights Casino promotions to bring them up to the level of their competitors.

Rival Gaming has an excellent roster of games available for play at Desert Nights Casino. While they may not have the sheer volume of titles of some of their competitors, what they have provided are high-quality games that are quick, and graphics-rich no matter if you are downloading the casino or playing in either their PC or mobile browser version.

I talked earlier about Desert Nights Casino’s great I-Slots games, but they casino also has over 150 other games for your betting enjoyment. Let’s have a look at some of them now:

Having reviewed many Deckmedia casinos, I expected to be able to cut and paste many of the casino’s promotions from other reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised when I clicked on the Desert Nights Casino Promotions page. While I wouldn’t call the offering fantastic, there is a little something for everyone, which to me is more important when trying to find a good casino for some of our novice players. Here are some of the promotions that they have on their site:

I love a small chip to try out a casino. I think we all know that it isn’t likely going to turn out to be a winner, but regardless the fact that Desert Nights Casino wants to let you try their games for real money shows that their marketing team knows what they are doing. You receive a $10 chip for signing up an account, and they are up front with the wager requirements: 50x, with a max cashout of $170. There is no excuse; you should all create accounts and at least play the free chip.

The Welcome Bonus at Desert Nights Casino is split in three, but what is nice is that the third piece is a $50 free chip. The first two are 100% deposit bonuses up to $1000 and $1500 respectively, and when you have completed the two deposits, you will receive the free chip.

Wagering requirements for the deposit bonus are 28x, which is nice and competitive, and the $50 free chip comes with a playthrough of 40x which is also a little better than most free chip promotions.

As with most casinos that take U.S. players, credit cards are front and center when it comes to depositing options. Desert Nights Casino is apparently paying the right payment processors to take cards from the U.S., although it always pays to check to see if they have other options as it still can be hit or miss depending on your issuing bank.

Here is a list of the deposit and withdrawal methods at Desert Nights Casino:

Desert Nights Casino does have a standard comp program, similar to many of its competitors. It’s pretty simple: as you play for real money in the casino, you will earn comp points that correspond to the amount you bet and the game you are playing. Every 1,000 comp points earned is worth $1 of real money, and when you reach the minimum amount to be able to convert, you just press a button that is labeled “Convert to Cash, ” and you can make the transaction immediately.

The same restrictions on promotions that we mentioned before apply to the comp points program at Desert Nights Casino.

Desert Nights Casino offers 24/7 Customer Support via all three of the standard methods: email, phone, and live chat. In fact, while I was messing around on their website, the live chat option was a fixture on the corner of my window, which I love as a feature.

According to online casino forums, the response time from Desert Nights Casino is pretty decent. I haven’t yet tried it out myself, but when I do, I will report back to you all.

I think Desert Nights Casino has its benefits and its issues, much like most online casinos. As far as the Deckmedia brands go, I would place Desert Nights Casino right in the middle of the pack. While their game offering is excellent and I do love the I-Slots catalog, there aren’t enough promotions or details on the VIP program to make it appealing to more than the casual player.

While I won’t be making a deposit myself anytime soon (I am too much of a degenerate and need my bonuses stacked on top of one another haha) I would say that if you want to give them a shot then for sure play their free chip.

After that, see what you think and make sure you contact them to let them know you want extra bonuses – sometimes casinos respond to that for fear they may lose you as a player! Let us know your thoughts and experiences with Desert Nights Casino, and we’ll add them to this review.
