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 fee) as rich as the Mohawks.
Microgaming is the gold standard for online casinos. They are as prevalent as microsoft is for operating systems. The difference is that Microgaming are on top because they have the best product, and Microsoft are on top because Bill Gates has an army of stormtroopers (just like in Star Wars) who brutally exterminate all his rivals. The Microgaming software looks good, is easy and pleasant to use, and seems stable.
I didn't send any emails to Vegas Towers support, since I was only a customer of thiers for about ten minutes. I deposited $50, collected the $50 loan, bet it all on don't pass, won, and walked away with $150. The cash was back in Neteller before the week was out (mind you, I deposited on tuesday, so all this means is that it was a three day turnaround).
But if the rest of the package is any indication, I am comfortable giving the thumbs up to their support team.

Bonuses:
Vegas Towers offer a loan to all new players. They have NO wagering requirement on this loan! This means that if you bet it all then half the time you're going home with $150 (on a $50 deposit) and half the time you're taking the bus (if can find some change down the back of the couch).
Great bonus if you are willing to gamble!

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...

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...
