The information provided below will be useful for new gamers who do not yet have experience playing in gambling establishments. We will not discuss whether it makes sense to play in a casino at all, as this is a separate, very extensive topic. Now we should talk about what pitfalls await inexperienced users who decide to try their luck on the sites of a well-known and, sadly, popular brand.
A Brief History of Vulcan Land Clubs
The network of gaming halls, and later full-fledged Vulcan casinos, appeared in Russia in 1992. Very quickly, almost all major cities in the country opened establishments with slot machines, which became incredibly popular. The company that owned the network was called Ritzio Entertainment Group. Today, after rebranding, it is called Ritzio International. By the beginning of the 2000s, the management company of the Vulcan network became the largest gambling operator in the territory of the Russian Federation and Eastern Europe. Naturally, in those former republics of the USSR where gambling was not prohibited, gaming halls and clubs under this name also worked. By 2010, the company's turnover amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars.
In Russia, the Vulkan casino chain officially operated until 2009. After changes in legislation, there was not a single establishment under this brand that operated legally in Russia. Today, land-based Vulkan casinos operate in Germany, Romania, Croatia and some other countries, which are often quite crowded. Currently, Ritzio International continues to develop and manages more than 250 clubs.
Casino Vulcan online
Today, even users who are not keen on gambling have heard of online casinos with a loud name. At the same time, there are many variations. If the first half of the name remains unchanged, then the second part is very diverse. It sounds something like this: Vulcan Stars, Vulcan 24, Vulcan Platinum, etc. So that you do not have any questions, we warn you right away: almost all virtual casinos that have the word "Vulcan" in their name are unlicensed. They have old scripted slot machines that look quite wretched. True, recently in some fake clubs new slots have begun to appear, but this is rare.
The most interesting thing is that there are already several hundred illegal Vulcan clubs on the Internet, and they continue to multiply. If you play for money in such establishments, then with a probability of 99.99 % you will lose your entire deposit very quickly, since these casinos exist solely on deceiving gullible users. There may be several types of fraud. For example, even after receiving a win (which is unlikely), you will not be able to withdraw it from your gaming account. Under various pretexts, they will refuse to fulfill your application and, in the end, they will simply block you. There may be another option: after winning, the administration will require verification. The procedure will take a long time, during which the gambler will have time to lose everything he received earlier. There are many such schemes. In any case, you are unlikely to be paid money in an illegal establishment.
Today, the only legal virtual casino under a well-known brand is Vulkan Vegas. The club operates under a license issued by the Curacao Gaming Commission. Once you get to its website, you will immediately see the difference between the official establishment and fake gambling resources. We will not list all the differences, we will only note that the number of games in the Vulkan Vegas casino is an order of magnitude greater, and the site interface supports several languages. It cannot be said that this is the highest-rated virtual casino, but in any case, there is no scam here, as in all other Vulkan online casinos.
Conclusions
Never play on fake Vulkan casino sites. Their main differences from normal establishments are as follows:
- lack of reliable information about the license;
- support for Russian language only (there are variations with Ukrainian or Kazakh);
- a small number of old-style slot machines;
- lack of prompt communication with support service operators;
- suspiciously favorable bonus offers.
If you prefer gambling to any other kind of recreation, choose only proven licensed casinos and try not to become a gambling addict. Good luck!
