Casino Design & Interface
When you think of William Hill, the last thing you’d expect is a brilliantly designed user-interface. The combination of royal and navy blue with white lettering makes the site easy to read and even easier to navigate.
The top of the screen has six tabs with a yellow bar which indicates where you are. These tabs are labeled as ‘betting’, ‘Vegas’, ‘live casino’, ‘casino’, ‘games’, ‘bingo’, and ‘poker’.
The casino buttons are simple, as they indicate ‘home’, ‘new’, ‘slots’, ‘roulette’, ‘card’,
‘live dealer’, ‘jackpots’, and ‘promos’ are easily identifiable by their distinct logos above the words.
Below the casino logo, you’ll find additional options that will redirect you to either the promotional offers, the mobile app download, or the rules.
The website functions really well and the development team has ensured that you won’t have to wait while jumping between the different tabs.
The only time you’d be waiting is either for a game to start or when you’re switching to the sportsbook or Vegas categories.
Switching languages has also been made easy, as you’d simply have to click on the drop-down language tab which is in the top right-hand corner next to ‘help & support’.
Mobile Feeling
William Hill features its own mobile casino app which is available on Android and iOS operating platforms. Unfortunately, those who are using Windows Mobile devices would have to stick to using the website via their web browser.
The mobile app is a downscaled version of the casino, which means that it doesn’t feature all of the games offered on the main website.
It does, however, have all the primary features such as the integrated sportsbook, bingo, and poker sectors of the website.
The app features the same color scheme, with a much more compressed layout with huge thumbnails that reveal your game choices.
Downloading the app is a simple process as it can be found on the website, for iOS users the App Store will reveal it with a simple search and the same applies to Android users, you’ll just have to access Google Play to get it.
Safeness and Security
Safety and security have always been an issue for online casinos as there are always potential threats. To counter this, William Hill casino uses advanced SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption on personal data such as banking details, financial statements, addresses, etc.
This means that if the information were to be stolen, the hacker would be unable to access it. SSL encryption technology is virtually unbreakable and for many years it’s been the best in the industry.
To ensure you’re subjected to fair play, the casino is regulated and licensed by the UK Gambling Commission & Gibraltar Regulatory Authority.
This means that strict standards need to be upheld and that the casino could lose its license if they were found guilty of going against them.
To save you from yourself, William Hill has partnered with a variety of anti-addiction campaigns that allow you to temporarily shut down your account if you feel that you’re developing an addiction.
Few casinos do this and this displays a genuine sense of concern towards users.
Games Selection
The game selection is pretty good, while it isn’t as vast as competitors; it has a great balance when it comes to overall variety. Games are provided by top-tier developers such as Playtech, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Realistic Games, and many others. This sees a wide variety of slot, roulette, card, and progressive slot games, all of which are neatly categorized.
Games are also categorized under a variety of other labels such as ‘most popular’, ‘hot games’, ‘new releases’, and ‘casino classics’. This makes it easy for you to decide what you’d like to play without having to sift through hundreds of games.
At the moment, the most popular games featured are titles such as Wild West Wilds, Book of Kings, Premium Blackjack, Premium Roulette, and Quantum Blackjack. While it’s great that they’ve placed everything right there for you to see, a filter option would’ve been very helpful.
