Espresso Games is a casino provider that focuses both on online and land-based operations. With a close partnership with the now closed Casino Di Venezia, they offered not only virtual games but also live streamed casino games with real dealers. Unfortunately Casino Di Venezia went bankrupt in early 2013, due to missing revenues and bad management, which cost more than 70 employees their job and left investors bankrupt as well. This meant that Espresso Games lost their biggest revenue games and had to rethink their entire strategy to bounce back. Besides losing several clients that only had Espresso Games due to the live dealer games, Espresso Games themselves had several sites they operated which they also were forced to close, with the closure of Casino Di Venezia.

Espresso Software

Espresso Gaming's software is a modern version of classical slots, with a beautiful graphical interface build up around many different and unique themes and characters as well as having thrilling and well known casino sounds to give the games that extra kick. All games also have great and smooth animations within the games, as well as the slots having special scatter and bonus symbols that triggers jackpots and video sequences. With these features, it all provides a great storyline in the slots, that players can relate to while playing and spinning the reels.

Espresso Games To Play

If players don't know how to play a game, they do not need to worry as Espresso Games have put all the rules along with the paytables directly in the game, so they will always know how to win money no matter what game they play. All the games also come with a demo feature, which makes it possible to try out all of the games before playing for real money. This gives players a chance to find the games they like the most without having to spend any money on games they do not like and ensures that they will get the most fun out of their money.

Espresso Games used to offer live dealer games to their customers, but since the bankruptcy and closure of the Casino Di Venezia the games are not available anymore. The games were basically a live stream of the casino floor with the possibility to choose the game that players wanted to play and then bet on a graphical interface on top of the stream and follow the action as it happened on the stream. These kinds of games are the closest players can get to the real casino feeling and was very popular among players, but unfortunately it is not available anymore.

All of Espresso's casino games can be played directly in the browser via flash, with no need to download any software. This means that players on all operational systems can play the games, as long as they have an internet browser with the latest flash update. This is ideal for players that do not wish to casino programs on their computers or want to be able to play wherever they go. With the flash version of the games, players simply have to login to their account and then they are ready to play and when they are done playing they just have to logout.

Espresso Games unfortunately doesn't offer any kind of mobile/tablet games and can only be enjoyed from a computer. Hopefully in the future, they will make it possible to play directly on a mobile device instead.

Espresso Games

Espresso Games offers players a wide variety of different and unique games to enjoy. With everything from slots, video poker, card games, table games to special games, Espresso offers players over 150 games to choose from. Classic games such as Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Joker Poker are all among the big selection of games, but Espresso also offers popular slots like Van Penguin, Give Me Five, Miss Liberty and Mad 4 Halloween.

The slots all have multiple reels and paylines, along with scatters and bonus symbols for extra prizes and games, the classic table games all have the feeling of being inside a real casino gambling and the video poker machines looks just like sitting in front of one in Las Vegas. One unfortunate thing about the games from Espresso is that there are no progressive jackpots, meaning that players are not able to win a huge prize all at once.

Fairness and Security

To make sure that all games played in Espresso's casinos are fair and that every single game has a random outcome, Espresso uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) to decide the outcome. The RNG has been tested and approved by third party companies, ensuring that all games are fair and safe when you play an Espresso Game.

Introduction

Espresso Games is looking to deliver this bolt of energy to your online gambling experience with their slate of betting titles. A division of Talenta International, Espresso Games has been in operation since 2002, delivering slot machines, table games, keno titles, and more.

Espresso has offices in many regulated markets, including Italy, the UK, Colombia, Malta, the United States, Hong Kong, and Spain. This allows the company to provide their games to big-name operators as well as licensed platform aggregates. This has led to the group’s games being offered at the likes of Melbet, Karl Casino, 22 Bet Casino, and more.

In our opinion, the graphics and interface of Espresso games are rather dated, based on this review in late 2019. Their game library is decent, with plenty of slots, video poker, and four types of table games. The video poker pay tables are quite stingy compared to most of their competitors. Some credit should be given in creativity a couple of unique games, Color Champion video poker and Six Card Charlie blackjack.

Table Games

Tables games offered are blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and Texas Hold 'Em Bonus (which they refer to as just 'Texas Hold 'Em'). Special mention should be made about their single-deck blackjack game, with a house edge of a nice low 0.15%.

Powerballs

Power Balls is a keno/lottery kind of game. Six out of 38 balls are numbered (1 to 36, 0, and 00). There are 12 each of red, blue, and yellow balls, and two green ones. There are a host of ways to bet on the outcome. I've analyzed similar games before, so forgive me if I don't analyze every single bet. To get an idea of the return, I looked only at the bets where the player picks a color (red, blue, or yellow) and how many balls of that color will appear. The following table shows what each bet pays, probability of winning, and expected return. As you can see they all pay very close to 95%, except for all six balls matching the chosen color.

Power Balls

Baccarat

Espresso Games To Play Games

The baccarat game is very standard with the three major bets only.

Blackjack

All three blackjack games have the same layout, in which the player may bet one to three hands. All three warn the player upon mistakes, based on the basic strategy shown in the 'guide' help file. Surprisingly, for an Internet casino, the advice given is actually correct. In fact, the strategy even takes under advisement the number of cards in the player hand in playing a 16 vs. 10 (an extremely borderline play, where the odds favor hitting with two cards and standing with three or more).

According to my house edge calculator, the single deck has a nice low house edge of 0.15%. The help file claims it's 0.14%, so close enough.

On just 'blackjack' and Lucky 7 Blackjack, where the rules are the same, I get a house edge of 0.49%, while the help file indicates 0.43%. You'll have to decide yourself who to believe.

Espresso Games To Play On

The Lucky 7 game offers a side bet based on the consecutive number of sevens the player gets. The rules aren't clear, but I assume if the player splits sevens, the next card counts towards getting three consecutive sevens. I also assume if the player has two sevens and the dealer has a blackjack, then the player is not given an opportunity at a third seven. All that said, my return table below shows a house edge of 7.83%. The help file indicates it is 6.75%. Again, you'll have to decide who to believe (I suggest me).

Lucky 7 Side Bet

Finally, Six Card Charlie Blackjack offers a rule I've never seen before, where a non-busted player hand of six cards automatically wins and pays 3 to 2. I've seen the automatic win rule lots of times, but paying 3 to 2 is a new one. I had to do some analysis to find the effect of this one, for which I get a reduction in house edge of 0.31%, with proper strategy. Without this rule, the house edge would be 0.70%, so with the 0.31% reduction, I get a house edge of 0.39%.

Following are some strategy adjustments to make in the Six Card Charlie game:

Espresso Games To Play Canasta

• Always hit hard 12
• Hit hard 13 against a 2 to 4.
• Hit any soft 18.
• Hit soft 19 against a 9, 10, or ace.

• Hit any hard 16 or less.
• Hit hard 17 against an 8, 9, 10, or ace.
• Hit any soft total.

Roulette

Espresso offers three roulette games -- European, American, and '12 Number.' Here are more details on each:

• European Roulette — This is what I call 'French Roulette,' where even money bets lose half when the ball lands in zero. This results in a house edge of 1.35% on even money bets and 2.70% on all others. Roulette doesn't get better than this and Espresso is one of the few places to offer these liberal rules.
• American Roulette — The wheel has two zeros and even money bets lose half when the ball lands in zero. This is what I call 'Atlantic City Roulette.' The house edge is 2.63%, 7.89% on the 'five number' bet (0-00-1-2-3), and 5.26% on all others.
• 12 Number Roulette — This game actually has 13 numbers, 0 to 12. Bets would pay fair odds if there were no zero. Even money bets lose half if the ball lands in zero. House edge is 3.85% on even money bets and 7.69% on all others.

As you can see, the house edge ranges from 1.35% to 7.69%. My advice is to play the European roulette only and stick to even money bets.

Slots

Espresso has some interesting themes for their slots. Who can resist at least trying Boobies & Booties? The graphics and animation were several years out of date. The bonuses were pretty simple, usually picking one of a few items to determine your prize. The bonus frequency was too high and the average wins too low. However, there is still a kind of originality to these slots in the way the play.

I do give all due credit for disclosing the returns of their games. They vary a lot, so be careful what which game you play. Below is just a sampling:

• Mermaid — 96.49%
• Boobies & Booties — 97.34%
• Good & Evil — 91.52%
• Escape from Mars — 92.15%

Texas Hold 'Em Bonus




Espresso refers to their Texas Hold 'Em Bonus game as just 'Texas Hold 'Em. They kindly follow the liberal Las Vegas rules, where wins on the Ante start at a straight. The element of risk of this game, defined as the ratio of expected loss to total amount bet, is a low 0.53%.

Video Poker

All American 1 play	All American 4 play	Color Champion
Deuces Wild 1 play	Deuces Wild 4 play	Jacks or Better 1 play
Joker Poker 1 play	Jacks or Better 4 play




The Espresso video poker games are rather slow and dated. With a house edge ranging from 1.58% to 2.92%, the odds are rather lousy for video poker too.

The auto-hold feature in all games is TERRIBLE. With advice such as holding three to a flush, you would be well advised to ignore it.

The only positive remark I can make is on the creativity of their game Color Champion. This is a rather bizarre game that I assumed is their own creation. The rules are too involved to explain here. At a high house edge of 2.92%, I won't pay too much attention to it. However, players looking for something different in the video poker world should have a look.

The following table shows the Video Poker games available in alphabetical order.
