Emu Casino

Emu Casino is one of the best exclusive online casinos for Kiwi and Aussie players. That is because Emu and Kiwi as birds go hand in hand and are both flightless birds. They are the smallest living ratites and lay the largest egg, about the body size of any bird species worldwide.

Thus, Emu Casino took this through a little but powerful bird theme on its online site design and logo. Eddy, the Emu mascot, is embedded in a silver chip on the casino’s homepage and is visible throughout the web pages.

This casino was launched in 2012 and quickly became popular among New Zealand and Australian players. It has recently revamped its site.

Emu Casino Games to play

At Emu, you can play games in real-time and for free, all in AUD and Bitcoin. There are over 1126 casino games to enjoy instantly, even on your mobile smartphone. The games are powered by not one but many top software gaming providers, mainly NetEnt, 1X2Gaming, Multislot, and many others. With over 100 new NetEnt desktop games and over 30 new Mobile casino games, you will now have enough games to try something new every day.

Command controls are immediately accessible from the home page, and a support bar hosts additional quick link references such as help pages, FAQs, payment options, emails, live chat, time, and more while playing games.

As this is a no-download casino, you can play instant games directly in your Web browser on desktop, laptop, and mobile devices such as Android, iPhone, and iPad. All you need is the latest Flash plugins installed on your browsers. You can play as long as you have an Internet connection.

Real-money games are categorized into pokies with over 800 titles, including three-reel, five-reel, and 3D pokies.

These are further categorized into game types, lines, number of ways, and game features, making it much easier for a gamer to choose the right game. Some pokies you can enjoy are Big Bad Wolf, Downtown, Money Farm 2, Red Dragon, Kick A$$, Sticky Bandits, Hot Safari, Dragon King, Wild Dolphins, and more.

Over 25 blackjack titles, over 20 roulette games, and more table games will be found. I also enjoy scratchies, poker games, virtual sports, and other games.

There are, at present, eight live games in total at live casinos. You can play Live Roulette, Live Blackjack, Live Baccarat, Dream Catcher, Online Hold’em, Three Card poker and various other games.

How to play Scratch Card games at Emu

There are over 40 scratch card games to play here. These are found on the left side of the games menu. You can scratch Shrill Bill, Treasure Tomb, Dragons Fortune, Granny Prix, Darts 180, Scratch Soccer and many other interesting games.

• Just register yourself at the casino first.
• Open your real money account by making a minimum deposit of $10 in AUD or BTC.
• Go to the games lobby, click on Scratch cards, and instantly choose the game you wish to play.

You can play for free and practice before you wager, but that’s your choice.

The stage is set in this 3×3 grid online scratch card, accessible directly through your web browser in a no-download instant play format at EmuCasino.

You must choose a suitable betting amount between $1.00 and $5.00 and purchase a new card. The game is played by scratching the grids with a gold coin and revealing the mystery amounts behind each virtual foil. Players also have a ‘Scratch All’ button to simultaneously reveal all the hidden amounts.

The prime objective is to obtain at least three matching numbers after scratching the grids to receive an instant credit win. The game immediately identifies any wins, and the pay is instantly added to your account. The game also includes a bonus multiplier, which is random and is multiplied by the matched amount to give you your final win amount.

One extra cool thing about Emu is their promotional program, the Emu Casino Races. It is a leaderboard system that ranks players based on the number of spins played on the pokies weekly. Whoever makes it to the top ten spots on the leaderboard is awarded additional prizes.

EmuPoints at the casino

EmuPoints are a complimentary reward system in which loyalty points are awarded by EmuCasino for on-site activity, much like a land-based casino would give out complimentary drinks to its patrons.

Collecting EmuPoints is a ‘full activity ‘-based comp system at EmuCasino that allows players to win more free games, extra bonuses, or even free cash prizes.

By default, when you first sign up as a new player, you get EmuPoints once your account is successfully activated. Next, you need to log in daily and play. Players can earn Emupoints if they wager $50 within 15 minutes of logging in. Make a real money deposit into your player cash account and collect EmuPoints. On every deposit of $100 or above, players will earn 500 EmuPoints.

– For every $10 stake on a pokies game or online Scratchie, players have a chance to earn up to 14 points.
– For a Newbie, every $10 stake rewards players with 9 EmuPoints. As you move up through the VIP levels, you collect proportionally more EmuPoints for the exact wagering at each level.
– Players can earn 40% extra EmuPoints on pokies and scratch cards once they reach the top VIP status as an Elite member.
– For every $10 stake in Blackjack, Roulette, Jackpot games, table games and video poker, players will collect 1 EmuPoint. Platinum or Elite players are awarded 2 EmuPoints per $10 stake.

Please learn more about how loyalty levels work in their VIP club section.
