Ramses Gold

Ramses Gold Review

It is a shame to keep having to bring up the troubled history of the Game Tech Group, and it must be pointed out that there are no concerns about the ethical practices of the group now, but last year Game Tech was caught using pirated NetEnt software, and it has left a funny taste in the mouth of many that will probably take a while to remove.

This leaves sites like Ramses Gold with even more to do than the average new site, and when you consider the highly competitive nature of the online casino world, this is not an easy situation for a site to find itself in.

That isn’t to say that this site has no chance, other Game Tech sites have succeeded despite the history, but it’s not easy.

So, does Ramses Gold have what it takes to succeed? Does this site bring top quality content, a great look, and something that sets it apart from the sea of other online casinos that are available? Or is this yet another site that is destined to find itself floundering forever in the middle of the pack, never quite getting noticed behind the giants of the industry?

Design and theme

With a name like Ramses Gold, you’d expect there to be a lot of gold involved in the design theme of this site, which is a concern, because a lot of gold is never a good look for a website really.

Luckily, Ramses Gold seem to be aware of this too, and thus, the site is predominantly dark blue, with the gold providing the colour for headings, categories, extra design touched, and the logo, which also involves Egyptian imagery.

The Egyptian theme continues with wall painting style designs in the background of the site, which create a rather lovely contrast.

Banners across the top of the site advertise games and promotions to give you a feel of what to expect from Ramses Gold, and the homepage boasts an impressive collection of thumbnails that allow one-click access to the site’s most popular games. This sense of simple navigation is repeated throughout the site, everything is easy to find and exactly where you’d expect it to be.

The theme of Ancient Egypt is barely an original one for the online gaming industry, but the execution here is very impressive, meaning Ramses Gold manages to look fresh despite the derivative nature of its chosen theme, which is impressive.

Games

If you’ve been to any other sites that are part of the Game Tech Group, you will be aware that in terms of games, all the sites offer pretty much the same selection of games, it’s just the design of the sites that are different.

This is irritating, because variety would be nice, but at the same time, if Ramses Gold is your first game Tech site, you’re guaranteed to be genuinely impressed by the games on offer.

Titled from 1X2gaming, Amaya, BetSoft, ELK Studios, GameART, GameScale, Leander Games, Nektan, NetEnt, NextGen Gaming, NYX Gaming, and Thunderkick can all be found here, and the variety carries through into game categories as well as software providers.

Slots fans will find five-reel new releases and three-reel classics, while table and card games are also here in abundance. If you’re an instant win fan, you’ll enjoy the scratch cards on offer, and there’s also micro bet titles and action games thrown in for good measure.

It would be nice if Game Tech started differing the content offered by their sites, but as long as they don’t, players will just pick the one that looks nicest, and Ramses Gold is a strong contender for that.
