Bodog Casino Review

The Bodog casino offers an unlimited flat bonus.  No matter how much you deposit, you will get an extra 10% added to your playing account.  For players making deposits of $1000 or more, this could very well be the best Internet casino for them.  You will be able to use this bonus in the sportsbook and poker room as well.  Best of all everyone can play here including American players and Mac users.  Making a deposit shouldn't be too hard either, because the Bodog Casino ownership group always seems to be accepting new payment processors on a regular basis including the popular eWallet Express.  After making your initial deposit you will be able to play at a variety of casino games including 74 slots, 16 different video poker machines and 26 table games.  You should feel confident playing here because of the security features in the software and the integrity of the ownership group.

Welcome Bonus
As soon as you make your first deposit at the Bodog online casino, you will have your bonus credited to your playing account.  The bonus is equal to 10% of your first deposit and will need to be played through fifteen times your deposit plus your bonus before making a withdrawal.  The bonus is automatically applied, so you won't have to worry about remember any coupon, promotional or bonus codes.
    This Bodog Casino welcome bonus will require you to play 165 times your welcome bonus (15 x ($100 + $10)/$10 = 165) regardless of which casino game you are playing.  This is great for casino games with an already small house edge, but less so for games with a higher house edge.  If you are a video poker player or a Baccarat player, then you should really appreciate this bonus.  Playing with a bonus here will decrease the house edge by 0.6% no matter which casino game you are planning of playing.
    The bonus has only a few restrictions that you should remember.  Your wagering won't count for the roll over requirements on any wager of opposites in Craps and Roulette (wagering on Red/Black, Odd/Even, Pass/Don't Pass etc.).  Wagers on Pontoon and Caribbean 21 also won't count towards your wagering requirements.

How the welcome bonus works for different games
Slots: $1000 deposit = 15 x ($100 bonus + $1000 deposit) = $16500 Play Through x (96.5%) = $15922 + $100 bonus = $16022/$16500 = 97.1% pay out with bonus

Video Poker: 15 x ($100 bonus + $1000 deposit) = $16500 Play Through x (97.8%) = $16137 + $100 bonus = $16237/$16500 = 98.4% pay out with bonus

Bodog Casino Games

There definitely is no shortage of casino games here at the Bodog online casino.  There is 74 slot machines, 16 video poker machines and 26 table games.  Use your 10% bonus to play most of these fun casino games.

Slots
There is a wide variety of incredibly fun slot machines here.  There are video slots, three reel slots, five reel slots and slots with progressive jackpots over one million dollars.  You can win over $1,000,000 at the Mid Life Crisis slots, Aztec's Millions and the Shopping Spree slot machine.  There are nine other progressive slots with jackpots between $20,000 and $250,000.  Along with the progressives there is also 50 of the 52, five reel slot machines that will reward a player a random jackpot.  These jackpots are given away at the conclusion of a spin at a random interval.  The jackpots are usually between $3000 and $50,000 and doesn't require you to line up any matching symbols.
    There are also some simple three reel slot machines that are easy to play.  The most popular 3-reel slots are the Bank on it slots, Crazy Dragon and the Light Speed slots.
    You can play any of these slot machines and work off you playing requirements.  You will be required to play 165 times your bonus before making your withdrawal.  Playing the slots with a bonus will decrease the house edge by 0.6%.  That will change the pay out ratio from 96.5% to 97.1%.  At that rate you can expect to lose approximately 2.9 cents for every $1 wagered.  If you were planning of wagering $35 per spin, you could expect to lose about $1 for every spin you play.

Video Poker
Speaking at a financial point of view, the Bodog Casino is one of the best places to play video poker online.  They also have a great selection of video poker games as well including Aces and Faces, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker as well as many new and unique video poker games.  There are 16 different video poker games in total, game play at any of these video poker machines will count towards your roll over requirements.  Taking the bonus into account the pay out ratio will be 98.4% instead of the regular 97.8%.  This will work out to an average loss of 1.6 cents for every $1 that you will eventually wager.  A wager of $62.50 will result in a theoretical long term loss of a $1 per hand.  You can play 1, 3, 10 or 52 hands simultaneously here.

Table Games
There is a total of twenty-six table games at the Bodog online casino.  Popular games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Craps and Caribbean Draw can be played here as well as some unique casino games such as Vegas 3 Card Rummy, Perfect Pairs, Caribbean Holdem and Super 21.  There pay out ratios will depend on the type of table game you are playing, but playing with a bonus will decrease the house edge by 0.6%.  Note: Play at Caribbean 21 won't count towards your roll over requirements as well as betting on opposites at the Craps and Roulette tables.

Editor's Note

I personally place wagers here at the Bodog Casino and sportsbook on a regular basis.  I have never ran into any problems with the software, security and requesting a withdrawal.  The casino games, the casino personnel and the ownership group are all top notch.  If you are looking to play at a online casino that is operated by a group of individuals with some integrity, then this would be the casino of choice for you.
    If you are an American who likes to place bets on sports and a Mac user, you will probably not find a better casino than the Bodog online casino to play at.
