Roxy Palace conjures up visions of 1960s ballrooms and bingo halls, and this website does nothing to dispel that image. It’s zingy and poppy, with all sorts of offers like instant jackpots and promises of “Mega Moolah” pouring out from every page.

However, with a claim of a 97% payout, Roxy Palace is a site that demands a little more critical examination. It’s not all just bells and whistles, and below the surface lies a well designed and value for money gambling website. With over 250 different game variants, the developers have certainly gone to a lot of trouble to provide a wide range of entertainment for their clients.

One beef concerns the instant play option, which isn’t immediately available. Configuration of your web browser’s ActiveX settings is necessary before this runs smoothly, and that can sometimes take a bit of manipulation. That aside, the interface is clear, smooth, and fast.

Offering a range of video games, slot machines, poker video and blackjack machines, Roxy Palace is more of a seaside arcade website than an online casino. However, it’s professional, and slick, and is likely to attract those players familiar with images of mirrored balls and disco dancing.
