Hippozino was founded in 2013 which makes this casino relatively young. I’ve also reviewed other casinos that were recent entries into the market, some entering the market as late as 2014 and despite their age they have thus far delivered favourable results.
The casino’s odd name was chosen to symbolise their apparent support of the WWF in aiding the humble hippo’s plight. I say apparently as there is no indication of this on the site save for a link to the WWF site. I read more about it on the Hippozino Facebook page: for every 1000 likes the casino gets, they’ll adopt one hippo – so far they have 45 likes, and in addition all their VIP-costumers will have a hippo adopted for them as well.

Theme
Hippozino offers players a stripped down and somewhat bare site. The site is decked out in earthen colours and a rather brazen image of a hippo features as the main image on the site’s homepage.
Navigation is simple enough with the most important tabs located at the top of the page, although it gets a bit daunting as the various table games are all grouped together under one tab. The perk of having a stripped down site is that all the tabs and links can easily be found, saving you time and frustration.
Specials and Bonuses
The amount of specials and Bonuses certainly make up for the lack of aesthetics, with a large array of weekly specials ranging from Deposit Bonuses to raffles. New players can expect a 100% Bonus up to £/$/€200 on their first deposit.
Each Bonus and special has a dedicated page that explains the offer and contains a link to the General Bonus Policy ensuring nothing is left unclear.
The casino offers a loyalty program called the VIP Club that allows players to access special discounts, promotions, and other valuable benefits when they wager on any of the available games. There are 5 different tiers starting off with a Bronze level that escalates till the player reaches the prestigious Diamond level that offers the very best benefits available.
Games Selection
A major perk of playing at a new casino lies in the fact that you don’t have to contend with an extensive selection of old or outdated games. The casino boasts over 200 games which makes sense considering that they’ve opted for more recent and popular games with Slots accounting for a large percentage of that figure. Hippozino sports 12 Progressive Slots and a variety of Table Games such as Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette. On top of that selection, players can also take a chance on Video Poker and a large variety of Scratch Cards.
A great feature that really caught me off guard was the Live Casino feature. I didn’t expect such a young casino to have such a great offering. But there it is, with not one but five live games to choose from.
Graphics/Software
The gaming selection is extremely varied as a result of the number of different gaming developers the casino incorporates in their catalogue. The developers include the Quickfire gaming platform from MicrogamingTM, Sheriff gaming, Quick Spin, Genesis, NextGen, Leander, Rabcat, Wagermill and Push Gaming. So you’re left with a mixed bag of games from which to choose.
Games can be accesses via Flash in your browser or on mobile. The mobile platform offers less gaming choice but still has a respectable amount of games optimised especially for the mobile platform.
Money Matters
The casino uses the industry standard 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and firewall technology to ensure that sensitive data is transferred securely over the internet to their protected servers.
Transactions methods include the most popular options ranging from credit and debit cards to the most popular e-wallet services. In regards to withdrawals it is important to take note of the following: “You may be asked to have your documents signed and stamped by a qualified notary or solicitor as proof of legitimacy.”
Customer Service and Support
Queries and issues can be directed to the Customer Support staff, reachable by 24/7 live chat and email. You can also consult a FAQ section before contacting the casino. I would have liked to see a telephone number for those who prefer to talk to a consultant instead of digital correspondence.
Overall Rating
Hippozino scores a 4 out of 5 spades, as previously mentioned I would have liked to see a telephone number as an additional means of contacting Customer Support. Another issue which might prove to be troublesome is the matter of having documents legitimised for the sake of withdrawals. The casino offers a Live Casino which is a big plus as are the numerous specials and Bonuses available to players.
