Overview
Celtic Casino launched in December 2008 as the first online casino using software from San Jose, Costa Rica based live gaming developer Visionary iGaming (ViG). The casino is owned by ViG but operated under license by Costa Rican incorporated company Bravo Storm S.A.
Interestingly, ViG’s founder and current CEO Martin Reimer was the CEO of Vuetec Ltd before launching his new operation.
While Celtic Casino does carry a limited RNG game range, it is primarily a live dealer casino. Being pretty much a live casino pure play, the live dealer games are front and center on Celtic’s website and easily launched. Games can be played for free (Fun mode) without having to register a playing account.
