SpilleAutomater

SpilleAutomater Review

The name SpilleAutomater may not mean anything to you, unless you are a Norwegian who is well acquainted with the world of online gambling. If you are such a person (what are the chances?), then the information provided below may well already be known to you.

If not, and you want to learn about the advantages of the Norwegian online casino in the next five minutes, read on. You never know when a question about gambling in Scandinavia will appear in a pub quiz. Perhaps this information will one day help you win a magnum of champagne.

The SpilleAutomater was conceived and developed specifically for the emerging Norwegian market. While many casinos open their doors to customers from all over the world, this casino prefers to use only one currency – Norwegian kroner, and its website is available in a single language – Norwegian, oddly enough.

All of this sounds good to Norwegian gamers and not very useful to everyone else. But although the site is restricted to users from Canada, the United States, Great Britain, France, Holland, Spain, Italy and Denmark, it is not banned in many other countries of the world. If you like trading in Norwegian kroner and you speak the language, nothing will stop you from taking part in it.

C is for Credible

SpilleAutomater is owned and operated by PlayCherry Ltd., the same Swedish firm that created portals such as CherryCasino, EuroLotto and EuroSlots. The company has existed for several decades and in 2014 and 2015 was recognized as the best operator of the year in the field of online gambling by the IGA version.

The Norwegian casino is licensed by the Malta Lottery and Gambling Authority, the body responsible for licensing numerous online gambling centers. Do not doubt the reputation of this site – it is impeccable.

However, it is quite difficult for gamers to understand exactly when this casino appeared. Some reviews say that it opened in 2013, others in 2006.

After talking with a SpilleAutomater support staff member, the author of the article found out that in fact the casino’s year of birth is 2007. Strange. Let’s move on…

Website

Since I don’t speak Norwegian, I can’t claim that the text on the site makes sense, but I think I’ll give it an advantage. What is obvious is that the site is well designed, with neat advertisements for video slots, an easily accessible registration menu and contact information.

Many casino sites are an attack on the senses, a flurry of bright colors and an explosion of sound effects. The SpilleAutomater, by comparison, is almost soothing in its design.

When viewing the main page, there is no desire to immerse yourself in the game, although advertising makes the names of the games look intriguing.

Games are in great demand

Some casinos offer their services to a single developer, but SpilleAutomater, on the contrary, has a number of first-class gaming platforms. Well-known developers such as Microgaming, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, OTTO, Quickspin, Amaya, SBTech and Yggdrasil are represented here.

Thus, in the library you will find almost all famous games, starting from the five-drum video slot Jurassic Park from Microgaming and ending with the magnificent Gonzo’s Quest from NetEnt. The graphics of the first one – with 243 paylines – are particularly clear. Another great option is the new Vikings Go Wild game from Yggdrasil.

In addition to video slots, it is impossible not to mention the huge number of board games. In addition to several varieties of blackjack, there are derivatives of roulette, baccarat and poker.

The number of varieties of the latter can be confusing, but among them there are such favorites as Texas Hold’em, Oasis poker, Caribbean poker and cyber poker. Players can even try their hand at video poker, which is offered on the NetEnt and Microgaming platforms.

An instant play casino does not require bettors to download any clients: just go to the website, select your game and start reaping the benefits (or, you know, throwing chips to the wind).

SpilleAutomater allows you to try your luck at your favorite casino games or place a bet using interactive scratch cards such as Treasure Hunt and Hall of Fame.

Many casinos live or die because of the number of progressive games they offer. Progressive games paid out almost half a billion euros, and the biggest winner in 2015 received a check for almost 18 million euros. Jonathan Heywood from the UK became the winner after he was lucky in the Mega Moolah game with 25 paylines on the Betway platform.

Mega Moolah is among the 21 progressive games offered by SpilleAutomater. Others include The Dark Knight, Major Millions and Arabian Nights.

In “The Dark Knight,” which, of course, is based on the 2008 Christopher Nolan film, the mega jackpot exceeds three million. Not exactly Bruce Wayne’s money, but who could use an extra three million in their back pocket?

Bonuses and banking services

The welcome packages for new players are not amazing, but they sweeten the deal to some extent. Packages are divided into Low Roller, High Roller and Sports Roller packages.

As a low-roller, you get 200% up to 500 kronor (about $70) on your first deposit, as well as 50 free spins. You get the same conditions for the second and third deposits, and 50 more free spins for the last one.

As a High Roller, you get 100% up to 2,500 kronor on the first two deposits, and then 50% up to 5,000 kronor on the last bet. The wagering requirements for both offers are 40x.

If you choose the Sports Roller package, you will receive 100% up to 2,000 kronor. The betting requirements are 6x, the minimum coefficient is 1.50 per bet. All newly registered players receive 25 free spins in the Vikings Go Wild game.

Although the casino carries out operations only in Norwegian kroner, the possibilities of depositing and withdrawing funds are wider. Gamers can place bets using Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron, Paysafecard, Skrill, Trustly and direct bank transfer.

Verdict

Given that the SpilleAutomater platform was created by Norwegians for Norwegians, it will not be claiming world domination in the near future.

Nevertheless, it is a very dynamic, user-friendly and reliable instant gaming site. It boasts an impressive set of games from the most advanced developers, round-the-clock chat, 256-bit SSL encryption from DigiCert and regular integrity checks from independent agencies such as eCOGRA and TST.

Improvements are still possible. There is no program to attract friends, the site does not accept a sufficient number of currencies (is it not so difficult to make transactions in euros?), and it would not hurt to translate it into English. But despite all these disadvantages, SpilleAutomater deserves attention.
