Titan Casino Redesign Unveiled – All New Look, Same Great Games

admin — Thu, 05 May 2011 12:08:04 +0000

Titan Casino unveils an all new look and feel in line with other Titan brands Titan Poker and Titan Bet, for an improved user experience.

Titan Casino is pleased to announce the launching of a new website and casino lobby.

The new Titan Casino now reflects the design of sister sites Titan Poker and Titan Bet for a single unified online gaming mega-brand.

While the Titan Casino games remain the same, the website and casino lobby have been fully redesigned for an improved user experience including additional information and easier navigation.

In terms of the Titan Casino promotions, a popular draw for online casino players, the new Promotions page makes it easier for site visitors to locate the exact promotion they’re looking for. Instead of a single page listing all the casino promotions, it is now conveniently divided into four separate categories marked Welcome Bonus, New Promos, Ongoing Promos and Members Only Promos respectively.

Players will also enjoy the additional information on individual games. For example, each new game (such as Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World and Iron Man 2) has a full page write-up delineating the benefits and highlights of the game.

Each game type (such as blackjack, slots, roulette, etc.) also has additional information to help new players get started including sections on game history, game strategy and game glossary. While the rest of the site has been translated into an additional 12 languages, these particular pages are only available in English for the time being.

In addition to the changes to the website, the Titan Casino lobby has also undergone a complete overhaul. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, it is also easier for players to navigate and find their favorite games.

To get started, players simply need to download Titan Casino (free of charge), log in and click on the blue Games button in the bottom right corner of the casino lobby.
