Mystery gambling site RocketPlay is a brand-new online casino that looks to stand out from the crowd through its eponymous, outlandish promotional game. And while the concept is novel, the site's broader offerings are fairly standard, focusing on slots and a modest suite of table games.
Brand Story
RocketPlay is an unabashedly eccentric online casino brand with a story that centers on a colorful casino venue that has sprung up in the high-tech hub of Mars City, Nevada. Here gamers can enjoy all the thrills, chills, and spills of playing casino games in a space-age-themed casino venue, thanks to an innovative technology that allows players to “Rocket Play” directly from their desktop computer or mobile device.
The promotional game that ties into this brand story is surprisingly simple: players click a giant rocket button to start playing their chosen game. The speed at which the rocket speeds across the screen is directly tied to how much money players are willing to risk. The faster the rocket flies, the faster players’ money disappears. It’s a novel, albeit decidedly low-tech approach to interactive gaming.
Casino Games
RocketPlay has partnered with well-known software provider Playtech to supply its game lineup. This fairly standard collection of titles focused primarily on slots and a modest selection of table games.
The slots selection features more than 60 titles, including popular themes such as tribal themes (Mayan Princess, Foxin’ Wins, Wild Shaman), adventure (Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Invisible Man, Alice in Wonderland), TV and movies (The Addams Family, X-Men, Hercules), theme park adventures (Fantasy World, Mighty Zeus, Olympus Glory), and themes based on classic games (Jackpot Jester, Piggy Riches, Tomb Raider II: Golden Butterfly).
Table game fans will find blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker, sic bo, and three-card poker at their usual stakes, along with some lower-stakes options than one would typically find in a land-based or online casino.
Mobile Gaming
Players who want to Rocket Play on the go can do so via a mobile-optimized website. The casino’s full game lineup is available, although players must be on a Wi-Fi connection since the site does not support mobile payment options.
Awards & Recognition
Although it has only been operating for a few months, RocketPlay Casino has already won a few industry awards, including a Red Herring Top Company Award and a Global Gaming Award for Best Innovation in Casino Technology.
Customer Service
Players at RocketPlay can get 24/7 phone, email, and live chat support in multiple languages: English, French, Italian, Chinese, and Thai.
To help ensure that players don’t get overwhelmed or feel pressured to play, the casino offers a self-exclusion program in which players can request to be barred from playing for a set period or indefinitely. The casino will then bar players from accessing the site and honor any self-imposed bans.
How Safe Is It?
Players’ funds are safe at RocketPlay Casino, thanks to the security provided by being licensed and operated by TopGame Ltd., a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: TGMA). The company is subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and scrutiny by the Gambling Commission of the United Kingdom.
Players from countries or states where online gaming is outlawed (except for China, which is subject to certain restrictions) will not be able to access the site. Also, those subject to self-exclusion programs at other casinos will typically be prevented from accessing the site.
