Midaur Casino

Midaur Casino Review

It is fair to say that there is far from a shortage of online casino sites on the scene, but with the constantly growing popularity of the industry, there’s a host of new sites arriving every year and trying to find ways of making their mark on this immensely competitive market.

2016 saw a huge number of new sites arrive, but so far 2017 looks set to blow it out of the water in terms of numbers.

One of the new online casinos to have launched in 2017 is Midaur, which launched back in February.

Named after Greek King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold, this is a site with a name that makes sense within the industry, which, oddly, makes it something of a rarity on the online casino market.

This site is not the most original online casino you will ever stumble across, but with the sheer number of other sites available, this is no real surprise, and probably preferable to an attempt to create something unique, as this often results in a site that makes no sense.

However, a site needs to stand out somehow, so what does Midaur Casino bring in way of content to ensure it will get noticed amongst the sea of available online casino sites.

Design and theme

If there is one colour scheme that has been somewhat played out by online casinos over the years, it is undoubtedly black and gold.

I get it, it makes sense, you want to bring the concept of affluence for the table, so you can appeal to the high rollers, and let hobby players feel like high rollers, but it’s been done so many times now that it’s difficult to produce something that looks fresh, or even looks good, because everything with this colour scheme just feels painfully derivative.

To attempt to counteract this, and in keeping with its name, Midaur has gone all out on the gold. The main colour scheme is still black, in terms of the background at least, and after the gold logo you’ll scan down the page to be greeted by the usual attractive models standing somewhere near a roulette table imagery that every site of this kind takes.

But as you get lower down, and find the thumbnails for popular games that one expects from any new casino sites, it all gets shinier, because instead of using the colours from the games in the design like most sites do, Midaur has coloured them all in gold.

I have no idea if I like this, it’s definitely a matter of opinion as to whether players will, but it’s different, which is impressive in itself.

Games

With titles coming from AGT, Big Time Gaming, Casino Technology, ELK Studios, Extreme Live Gaming, Leander Games, Nektan, NextGen Gaming, and NYX Gaming, Midaur has one of the biggest lists of software providers you will see that doesn’t contain NetEnt or Microgaming.

This may irritate some, as games from these providers are without doubt amongst the most popular, but it also means you get a different selection of games here, some old favourites (Foxin’ Wins, Doubleplay Super Bet, Electric Sam), and a smorgasbord of games that you may not have come across before, which is actually a nice touch, and definitely makes this site stand out.

An original collection of games, that are all coloured in gold (until you put your cursor over them, when they revert to their original colour schemes) means that this is definitely a different site in comparison to its competitors, and that may just be enough to ensure that Midaur enjoys a decent share of prospective customers.
