Kiwi Casino Interview

Ed: Many thanks to Jeff for granting us the interview.

OGI: When did you first start taking wagers?

Jeff: Kiwi Casino first opened doors in October 2000. It's smart design, wide games selection, high level of quality of service and ownership by a land based casino have helped to attract a large and loyal following.

OGI: Where is your casino licensed and why did you choose this jurisdiction?

Jeff: We are licensed in Antigua. Kiwi Casino has a reputation for Quality, Security and Integrity and felt that Antigua's tight regulations and extensive experience in online gaming were important if we were to offer our players the best possible gaming experience.

OGI: Many new players have concerns about fair gaming and security. What would you say to them to put their fears to rest?

Jeff: Kiwi Casino is unique in the online gaming market in that we're owned by a Land Based Casino. Kiwi Casino is an independent offshore subsidiary owned by the Christchurch Casinos Group, Australasia's most respected casino organization. In maintaining this reputation, our players enjoyment, security, and excellent customer service, are held in the highest regard.

All our games are completely random, this is ensured by using a very sophisticated Random Number Generator (RNG) which has been thoroughly checked and validated. The odds for all our games are created using this RNG. Plus our payout percentages are checked to make sure they meet industry expectations. They are also published on our website regularly so players can see them for themselves.

All a players details, transactions and games played are kept 100% secure, this is why we use software you download rather than just taking player information over the internet. As soon as you load Kiwi Casino you are connected to our secure systems, from then on you are totally safe.

OGI: Please give us a short overview of the number of games you support with an indication of your most popular games.

Jeff: Kiwi Casino offers its players sixty six great games all boasting state-of-the-art graphics and sound. They are split into ten different categories; table, card, video slots, single line slots, multi-line slots, bonus slots, progressive slots, video poker, fixed odds games and keno. We really do have something for everyone. Our favorite game depends on where you come from; our USA and Canadian players prefer slots and video poker, our European players like card games and video poker and our Japanese players are interested in table and card games mostly. Because of its global appeal Kiwi Casino doesn't have 'one' favorite game.

However if there was a 'top five most played list' then Fruit Mania (a progressive jackpot, multi-line, video slot) and Blackjack would have to be in it. We have also just announced five brand new games, one of which is Derby Day - a fixed odds, sports-betting type game based on virtual horse racing which is proving to be very popular.

OGI: How much has your biggest winner ever won and playing which game?

Jeff: We regularly have big winners, just two days ago for example a player won $60,000 in video poker off her first ever Kiwi Casino deposit of $200! Also over the last few years three couples have won fantastic paid vacations to New Zealand. Our progressive slots games have jackpots running into millions of dollars.

OGI: Please tell us a little about your comps program.

Jeff: Kiwi Casino runs an easy to understand and rewarding comps program. Every dollar wagered gets you points which can be converted back to cash. The rate at which you accrue comp points and the conversion to cash rate depend on your VIP level. The higher your VIP level the better the rates. A players VIP level is effected by a number of things, their play history, monthly comp point level and their loyalty to Kiwi Casino. Some casinos just go by how much you spend. At Kiwi Casino a player is much more than just their bank balance. At Kiwi Casino is all about maximizing a persons fun, whatever level they play at.

OGI: Are you planning any new promotions in the near future?

Jeff: Kiwi Casino is always looking for new reasons to celebrate and offer it's players extra bonuses. UK players should keep their eyes open for a Lions Rugby tour promotion coming soon, a Kirin Soccer Cup promotion has just started for the Japanese players and USA and European players are currently taking part in our $peed Demon 500 promotion. There is also a big new promotion for Kiwi Casino which is coming within a month or two. We don't want to spoil the surprise by giving anything away so watch this space for news...

OGI: Do you see any major changes in the online casino industry in the foreseeable future and what is your overall outlook for the industry?

Jeff: The online casino industry has seen huge growth over the last five years. As with any new industry there have been the good guys and unfortunately the bad guys. What's been great to see is that in the last few years the bad guys have mostly been found out and exposed. The future is set to been a much more controlled, safe environment to play in. Such growth can only be good for our players, it funds more research and development and so allows us to develop ever more interesting games. You've only got to compare games like Derby Day and 25 line video poker to the three reel, single line slots of just a couple of years ago to see how far we've come. Watch this space - big things are set to happen at Kiwi Casino soon...

OGI: Why should a player choose your online casino above the many others out there?

Jeff: In a nutshell... Quality, Reputation, Security.

There are a lot of online casino's around and sometimes this makes it difficult to distinguish yourself on technological points alone. At Kiwi Casino it?s the added value offered to our players we pride ourselves on; You play at Kiwi Casino with the reassurance and security of a land based casino. We have all the latest and best looking games available. Our player support lines are open 24 hour, 7 days a week and we have 'the' most friendly customer relations staff in the industry. We have generous first, second and ongoing deposit bonuses plus regular entertaining additional promotions.

Think of it as the 'Kiwi Casino Experience Package', not just as another online casino site.

OGI: Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your casino?

Jeff: Kiwi Casino has been operating for over four years now. In the hectic hustle and bustle of the Internet that?s a long time. During those years LOTS of online casinos have risen and fallen only to disappeared without a trace. Kiwi Casino has been and will continue to be a secure haven to players looking for exciting online gaming and the chance to win their fortune.
