Imagine what it would be like to win a $1,683,526 jackpot. One Lucky Nugget player knows. Their $1,683,526 payday on the Major Millions progressive slot is the largest slots jackpot ever. Wowsers! That's a lot of quarters. Well, virtual quarters.
As you might have guessed, since they are giving away that much money, they are a pretty big organisation. At a guess, they are in the top five, and certainly the top ten, largest online casinos.
The software (Microgaming) looks impressive - and is lightening fast if you turn off sound effects.
Lucky Nugget frequntly offers some nice promotions, usually centering around gaining entry to a draw for quite a lucrative prize (like a $30,000 baseball experience package).
Support is very helpful, and online constantly, and they cashout money very quickly (to Neteller at least). I think I was waiting a bit over a day.
Lucky Nugget is deservedly one of the big boys in the online casino jungle. They do pretty much everything right (although I'm still waiting to hit one of their sweet jackpots).

Bonuses:
Lucky Nugget will give you $200 free on a $50 first deposit. Remember to submit a request on the website within 72 hours of your deposit.
Unfortunately, it's a slots-only bonus. 20X playthrough with a 97% payout ratio means that the value is probably about 2.0 per dollar deposited.
In addition they will give you 100 free spins on their new progressive "Tunzamunni" if you can pronounce it correctly. Just kidding of course - you'll get your spins just as long as you follow the instructions on their website.

I always complain about slow cashouts. They annoy me intensely. Well, Phoenician Casino don't have that problem.
Instant cashouts to NETeller. Wow. This is great as far as I am concerned. Their processing times on other withdrawal methods (but why would you bother?) is 48 hours plus transfer time. That's still...

VIP Casino is a medium sized casino that has been around for almost ten years. Their software is Realtime gaming which is a vast improvement over the old-fashion Cryptologic program they were using up until recently.
VIP's strength is in sports betting, but on the casino side they make a decent effort...

I like Blackjack, so I was quite excited when I approached the Blackjack Ballroom. They use Microgaming software (one of the big providers of software to the online casino industry) so their program is polished - it looks good, sounds good, plays good, and is very easy to understand.
Blackjack Ballroom's cashouts...

After the Lord of the Rings finished filming, the hobbits decided they'd start an online casino. Well, OK, Kiwi Casino is actually the online arm of the Christchurch (New Zealand) Casino. In case you were wondering, it's not a patch on Vegas - no free booze!
Anyway, with over a million dollars...

Vegas Towers are another Microgaming (Viper) software casino. They've been around for a couple of years now, and are registered in good old Kahnawake Mohawk Territory (if I had a dollar for every casino registered there, well, I'd be about 1/1000th (or whatever fraction a dollar actually is of the registration...
