Aladdins Gold has a few things going for them.
For one thing, they are a US-friendly casino. That alone gets a vote from me. But they’ve also been in business since 2004. If you know anything about online casinos and poker sites, that says a lot. Most rogue rooms go bad within the first year, maybe two. So since they’ve been around for almost 9 years, I think it’s ok to assume your money will be safe there.
The software that Aladdins Gold uses is Real Time Gaming, and they offer a download for PC users, and a browser based version for players with a Mac or Linux operating system. You can play for free or real money, although your ability to play for real money will depend on the laws where you live.
The rest of this page will be an inside look into Aladdins Gold, and more specifically, their tri-card poker game. My goal for this review is that it will help you decide whether or not Aladdins Gold is the right casino for you.
Aladdins Gold Tri-Card Poker Info
For the purpose of this review, I only played the tri-card poker game. I thought the software was modern, fast and easy to use. From what I hear from other websites and casino enthusiasts, I don’t think you can expect any less coming from Real Time Gaming.
The table min for tri-card poker is $1 and the maximum is $100. Chip increments are 1, 5, 25, 100 and 500.
The payouts for tri-card poker are:
Pair+ Payouts
- Straight Flush – 40:1
- 3 of a Kind – 25:1
- Straight – 6:1
- Flush – 4:1
- Pair – 1:1
Ante Bonus Payouts
- Straight Flush – 5:1
- 3 of a Kind – 4:1
- Straight – 1:1
If you have any questions about the rules, there is a help button at the bottom of the screen. When you click on it a new browser window opens which I find inconvenient. My thoughts are that if I wanted to learn the rules, that it’d be much easier to do while playing the game at the same time. It’s a small inconvenience though, and doesn’t affect the game or my experience in a negative way.
Other Games at Aladdins Gold
All the standard games are available at Aladdins Gold, including the well-known Real Series slots. Here is a brief look at the other games that you can play:
- Table – Blackjack, pai gow, red dog, Caribbean stud and baccarat.
- Slots – Video, 3-reel and bonus 3-reel slots.
- Video Poker – Deuces wild, joker poker, sevens wild, aces and eights and jacks or better.
- Specialty – Scratch cards, keno, sic bo and craps.
- Progressive Jackpots – Let’em Ride, Shopping Spress and Caribbean Stud.
Keep in mind that only a fraction of the games available in the full download are available in the flash version. You can compare the flash version to the games preview on the site to see which version would work best for you (unless you’re on a Mac where you don’t have much of a choice).
Promotions
Aladdins Gold offers a few ongoing promotions for their players. Here are some details about each one.
100% Welcome Bonus
Aladdins Gold offers players two bonuses – one is a 200% match for slots players, and the other is a 100% match for all other (accepted) games.
The 100% match is for all deposits that you make within your first 7 days. To release your bonus, you must wager 50x your deposit plus bonus. For example, if you deposit $100, your bonus would be $100, for a total of $200. A 50x rollover would mean that you’d need to wager $10,000 before you could make a withdrawal.
Weekly Promotions
Aladdins Gold also offers weekly promotions to give you reasons to come back and play more. These change frequently, but can be things like deposit $50 and receive a $50 bonus, or receive an 85% match on your next deposit. You’ll want to frequently check their promotions page to see what promos you can take advantage of.

Support is available by phone, contact form and live chat. I used the live chat twice and both times I was helped within minutes, and the operators were extremely friendly. They also offer support via snail mail, but that seems pointless to me.
