PikaKasino Casino Review

What’s up rollers,

Welcome to my Pikakasino Casino review, and this little pony is the trickiest of them all. Never in my life have I encountered such a bizarre casino creation, and I’ve been to Florida. Twice.

This is the Hunchback of Notre Dame dressed up as an online casino. I have no better words to describe it metaphorically. It is pure at heart, packs some serious muscle, it wants to do well, but it’s just not getting laid.

Let’s dive in and see what exactly do I mean by that.

Casino Review Details

It’s a fairly new puppy, founded in 2019. It was designed as an online casino for Finnish people and that proved to be my first problem. Not that there’s something inherently wrong with such an idea, but the lingo isn’t my main complaint anyway.

It is owned by Play North Ltd and is licensed by Malta Gaming Authority. Perfectly legit and with decent RTP’s, on a first glance this casino looks like a streaming platform or a website about clean and renewable energy.

So, the looks and atmosphere are left to be desired. Then again, this is not a deal-breaker. Plus, it has some really great game providers, necessary for ensuring a great gambling experience and lots of fun.

Not to mention, it’s an instant play casino with no registration process and other BS. Just load it, put some cash in it, and BAM – you play the games! AND it’s mobile-friendly like players can only wish for.

But man, there are some serious shortcomings to consider as well. Just keep reading…

Country Restrictions

There’s no way to effectively cushion the blow so here it is without sugarcoating things: this casino is for the Finns and Finns alone.

So, if you live in other 192 member nations of the UN – suck it up.

I think I will invent some sort of award for the biggest flop in the casino industry, something like the Golden Raspberry in Hollywood. Heck, I’ll do it this instant.

I’ll call it Plutonium Lilly – a statuette of a seemingly beautiful flower that causes radiation sickness.

So, without further ado, my dear bros and broettes, Plutonium Lilly for the worst bonus offer in the entire casino industry for the year of 2020, goes to (drumroll) – Pikakasino Casino!

Welcome Bonus

Members of our distinguished jury have awarded Plutonium Lilly to Pikakasino Casino for its relentless pursuit of bonus annihilation. No matter the odds, no matter the obstacles, no matter how the meek pray, this casino will not grant you any welcome bonus whatsoever.

In a strange and not recommendable way, here I stand, struck in awe by this kind of attitude.

Other Bonuses

In order to make itself a casino worthy of such a triumphant award as Plutonium Lilly, Pikakasino stayed true to its core beliefs. Players can expect exactly 0 (eng: zero) other bonuses while staying at this casino. Man, that’s a rough game.

VIP Program

I’d never thought I’d say this in a casino review: Pikakasino Casino doesn’t cease to amaze us for all the wrong reasons. There is no VIP program whatsoever, either.

Ah, free spins! What a treat it is for a poor little soul such as mine. Every game should have free spins as an option in my opinion.

And I proudly say, having no free spins made it so easy for the Academy of Gambling to award Pikakasino Casino with the Plutonium Lilly.

If nothing else, gaming is not left to chance at Pikakasino Casino. I was so pleased to see some of my favorite software providers on the market, and obviously – the games they make.

In all honesty, this casino will not provide players with the best and the most comprehensive list of available games, but in my book, this is perfectly fine if they manage to bring quality to the table.

Which they did, I am happy to say. We’ve got Pragmatic Play and the other Major Leaguers available. Players of all breeds will enjoy their stay at Pikakasino Casino, as long as they don’t succumb to some other problems, listed above and below.

The good game selection comes in the shape of notoriously brilliant game providers, such as:

• Play’N Go, Pragmatic Play, No Limit City, NetEnt, Relax Gaming, Quickspin, Big Time Gaming, Push Gaming, Red Tiger, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Evolution, Stakelogic, iSoftBet, ELK Studios.

Online casino games at this casino are skillfully picked, well balanced, and flawless in execution. Casino games are not as numerous as in other online casinos, but there’s more than enough of them to satisfy even the most demanding players. Such as yours truly.

But, and this is a huge BUT, there are some problems, all of which I’ll explain below.

Slot Games

Hundreds and hundreds of slot games, made by the best game providers in the industry, are what makes this girl veeeery happy!

They are a blast to play. Apart from the most popular and familiar ones, the first I’ve tried was the Voodoo Reels. It’s got everything a slot junkie needs: wild and scatter tokens, super stake, and catchy music – the latter being a greatly under-appreciated creative segment of the slot machines industry.

This brings me to Silverback Multiplier Mountain. The slot itself is nothing to gawk at, but man, the music is epic! This is how you make a cool, immersive slot game, it’s not just about bonuses and graphics, but music as well.

The sound of fretless bass dipped into ambiental jazzy fusion – a true bliss! It’s so mellow and warm I totally forgot about the game.

A new friend of mine told me to try out Gonzo s Quest, which I did, but it somehow failed to deliver. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with it, and the RTP is fine I guess, but I think it’s a glorified cascade game with excellent musical background – if you want to fall asleep surrounded by the sounds of forest creatures.

Honestly, I had more fun with Reactoonz & Reactoonz 2, which are straight-up ludicrous, and super fun in all of their silliness.

Needless to say, with a respectable lineup of game providers such as this, Pikakasino Casino can satisfy demanding slot players with ease. Seriously, writing about slots was the best and the most engaging part of this Pikakasino Casino review.

Slots don’t lie, ‘cos they can’t talk – Finnish or otherwise.

Table Games

How should I start this part of my Pikakasino Casino review – with the bad news or the good ones?

Okay, the good news about table games is that they’re a-ok, bros and broettes. Everything runs smooth, the graphics are decent, gameplay works like a dream, and if you find what kicks you – you’re good to go!

Here’s a sample of what you can expect at Pikakasino Casino table games section:

• Roulette, European Roulette, Blackjack, Classic Blackjack, First Person Lightning, Casino Hold’em, All Aces, First Person Craps, 3 Hand Casino Hold’em, Double Exposure Blackjack, Baccarat, First Person Baccarat, and First Person Mega Ball, to name a few.

But if we look at things under a closer lens, some key elements are missing. The first and the most painfully absent is – poker. Is that a Finnish thing, a casino with no standard poker at their table games selection?

Sure, I know, the casino offers a video poker variant, but it’s as lame and overused as a professor’s joke. I’ve seen some weird stuff, tried a couple of them in bed too, but a casino with no poker games? What’s next, no rocks in my whiskey glass? Unprotected one night stands?

And another thing, I, a little nasty pixie called Lilly, absolutely abhor Keno and Scraps – two games that are not at our disposal at Pikakasino Casino table games. So, you’d think that would make me happy, right?

Wrong!

Just because I despise a certain game, that doesn’t mean that other people shouldn’t enjoy them and have fun. Those games are enormously popular everywhere I’ve been to (in every casino, resort, or apartment) and they deserve to be offered by online casinos, whether I like them or not.

Except for virtual sports. I am actually glad they are not offered by this casino, not just because I think they are ridiculous, in a bad, bad way, but also because they attract a different kind of crowd.

These are just my two cents, I could be terribly wrong. Which I am not.

Jackpot Games

Another pleasant situation at Pikakasino Casino. Jackpot games are actually good and somewhat plentiful, with the accent placed more on games and less on the amount of money a player could win. That, courtesy of game providers.

There are like ten of them, the usual suspects. I guess their ethos is a bit more down-to-earth when it comes to gambling. Chances are we’ll never see that fortune anyway, so why not have some quality gaming time rather than chasing a pipe dream in some exotic online casino?

Live Casino Games

Before we dive into the live casino games section at Pikakasino Casino, one quick question: do you go to a sauna on a regular basis, and is it a sort of family thing for you? No?

If that isn’t the case, you have potentially zero use of the Pikakasino Casino live show. It’s for Finns only. Although I know online casinos and their games come in many languages, I can’t imagine anyone capable of enjoying themselves while listening to a strange language he or she doesn’t understand.

Still, live games are there for Finns to enjoy, and they are not as sucky as linguistic obstacles are. Here’s what you get IF you can handle the language:

• Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, Monopoly Live, Dream Catcher, Mega Ball, Blackjack Lobby, Roulette Lobby, Craps, Casino Hold’em Lobby, Power Blackjack, Baccarat Lobby, Football Studio, Dragon Tiger, Instant Roulette.

Having said all of the above, live casino services are technically superb. Good video quality, no lagging or interference, and live games are well put together. It’s a solid choice for those who have a grasp of the Finnish language.

For all of you bros and broettes who just became adults, I am old enough to remember the legendary Finnish product called Nokia. It used to be the best cell phone manufacturer in the world, so it is no surprise that Pikakasino Casino is more than friendly when it comes to mobile devices.

This is one of the best online casinos for mobile gambling. It supports everything you can buy and hold in your hand, an iPhone, an iPad, or any other Android operating gadget.

This is super important for an online casino such as Pikakasino Casino, because THIS is what they are after: players ready to play right now, and on the move – no compromises.

No app is needed whatsoever, and players can have instant browser fun. Good job here.

Games are not laggy, they run smoothly and look good, whatever the device. I’m obliged to give them a maximum score in this department.

You know that awesome feeling when you enter an online casino, and you bask in the majesty of at least a dozen possible ways to move your money around?

Well, Pikakasino Casino doesn’t.

Making or collecting a payment, one way or another, is a job dedicated to only one service.

It’s Trustly. All payment methods are handled by Trustly alone. It’s more of a payment method.

So, in order to write an unbiased Pikakasino Casino review, I must say that this kind of limitation has its advantages. If all of your payment methods are handled by Trustly, they tend to be quick.

And I mean super-quick.

Also, this way you don’t need to open an account if all you want to do is gamble and play games. Having virtually no deposit methods and payment methods BUT relying on Trustly has some benefits as well.

Not for me, I might add, but for you and other players – who knows.

Minimum deposit is €10, and maximum deposit is €10,000. Withdrawal limit is €5,000 per week.

Accepted Currencies

Another barren desert in the world of online casinos. It is a rare sight to behold, a casino with only one currency accepted. I’ve never said it was a good thing, it’s just rare.

You guessed it, it’s Euro. Just like the payment methods, you have no other choice, which is a shame for a casino that is shooting for stars.

Before we handle the support issue, another quick question: Are you Santa Claus?

If the answer is “no”, and in the best interest of your well-being I sincerely hope that’s the case, you will have a hard time navigating through the customer support section if you need help because they speak Finnish only.

At least Santa speaks all languages, not just his native Finnish.

However, granted, Pikakasino has a well-made and organized support team since English language is a personal option, not an actual rule. Luckily for the rest of the world, Scandinavians as a whole are more than decent English speakers.

Another problem might be the lack of a direct telephone helpline. Yes, yes, this is becoming the thing of the past, but there will always be people who prefer a phone over a live chat. Whether it concerns you or not, online casinos without a phone line will always suffer a diminished rating in my evaluations.

Apart from the language barrier, and the lack of a telephone, Finnish customer support team at Pikakasino Casino is great by all standards. They are knowledgeable, willing to help, and polite enough for my standards.

Email support is okay. Emails are promptly replied and live chat personnel is at your disposal. I prefer the live chat communication at online casinos and Pikakasino Casino has got that covered.

It’s only a matter of luck to find a person via live chat who can speak English well enough for you to understand. Email support and live chat combined should do the trick.

Available Languages

In any other casino-related scenario this would be a great shock. But since Pikakasino is only played in Finland and it’s owned by the Estonians, it is hardly surprising that only three languages are available.

The languages used at Pikakasino are: Finnish, Estonian, English.  

Pikakasino Casino review was a tough nut to crack. It has some obvious advantages, and at the same time some enormous, mind-boggling downfalls.

The instant disappointment was no casino bonuses whatsoever. For me, this is a big no-no. Ciao, adios, farewell, godspeed…

Payment methods are, in reality, just a form of a payment method. Singular. Yup, there’s just one service to handle all casino transactions. What is this, Soviet Russia?

Then again, because of that, the payments are beyond and above quick! We are talking about lightning-fast cash flow. Withdrawal can be almost instant and compared to the competition your money will land in no time.

Withdrawal limit is okay, just as deposit limits. Nothing interesting here, unless you are a high roller.

Live chat is super-duper if you can handle Finnish, and customer support is overall good. This is a safe, fair casino that doesn’t pretend it’s generous. Game providers are top-notch. Pragmatic Play and the rest are here to make your stay at Pikakasino less of a financial nightmare.

But I’ll give this casino a standing ovation for how easy, fast and unencumbered the overall experience is. No checkups, signing-ins, registrations – just plug it, put some cheddar in it and roll them high. Seriously, this is an awesome, win-win mobile casino.

It’s up to you: IF you are a sort of person that above else wants to play right here and right now – well, I guess you’re a Finn. Jokes aside, if you like your bonuses to be copious and generous, if you revel in free spins and occasional awards on the side – run! Run for your life, bro.

As always, play responsibly and roll them high. We got you, Bro!
