What is the Empire game?
The Empire game is MyEmpire Casino's exclusive signature feature — a genuine city-building strategy game built right into the casino, the way Age of Empires or a civilization game plays, but wrapped around real casino rewards. This is the casino the whole brand is named after, and it's the heart of the experience: instead of a flat loyalty-points scheme, you collect Diamonds by playing, then construct buildings, complete districts and grow your own empire through a series of historic civilizations — winning real rewards as you go, up to €5,500.
It's one of the most fully realised gamification systems in the niche — closer to an actual strategy game than a loyalty club — and it's only available at MyEmpire, so it's a genuine reason to choose this casino over others. Reviewers consistently single it out as what makes MyEmpire stand apart.
A real strategy game inside a casino
Here's what sets it apart from the usual "VIP points" system: this is an actual build-your-empire strategy game. You progress through iconic historical civilizations — starting with the Vikings and unlocking new eras such as imperial China, golden-age Spain, medieval France and the Roman Empire — building your way up to become Caesar. Every wager feeds the game, and how you spend your Diamonds is a genuine strategic choice. For players who grew up on city-building and civilization games, it's a casino that finally speaks their language.
The loop in three steps
1. Earn Diamonds (the currency) You collect Diamonds by being active at the casino — deposits and wagering on casino games (and sports) both feed your Diamond balance. The more you play, the more you can build.
2. Build your empire Spend Diamonds to construct buildings and complete districts within each civilization:
- Complete a district → unlock rewards and advance your empire.
- Unlock new eras → progress through civilizations to reach powerful monuments
and bigger rewards.
- Conquer civilizations → strategically complete districts to advance from the
Vikings all the way to becoming Caesar of the Roman Empire.
3. Win rewards Building and advancing pays out real casino rewards along the way — Diamonds, Bonus Money, Free Spins and Real Money — building toward a grand prize of up to €5,500. Daily tasks add streak bonuses on top.
What you can win
- Cash prizes — up to €5,500 as you progress through districts and eras.
- Bonus Money — to play with on casino games (subject to wagering).
- Free Spins — on selected slots (subject to wagering).
- Diamonds — to keep building and expanding your empire.
- Plus a Bonus Shop where Diamonds can be exchanged for free spins, cash,
deposit bonuses and more.
Tips for the Empire game
- Let normal play earn Diamonds — deposits and wagering feed the game; you don't
need to do anything special.
- Finish whole districts — completing a district (not just single buildings) is
what unlocks the bigger rewards and advances your empire.
- Think long game — progressing through civilizations to Caesar rewards
consistent play and a bit of planning, like any good strategy game.
- Do the daily tasks — they add streak bonuses and extra rewards on top of the
building progress.
- Use the Bonus Shop — spare Diamonds can be exchanged for spins, cash or
deposit bonuses, so they don't sit idle.
- Play responsibly — the progression loop is moreish by design; the rewards are
a bonus, not a target. Set a budget first. 18+.
Why it matters (for the review)
The Empire game is exactly the kind of unique, in-house mechanic that makes a casino worth writing about — and it goes further than most: it's a genuine strategy game rather than a reskinned points scheme. It's exclusive to MyEmpire, it rewards normal play with a real city-building progression across civilizations, and it ties deposits, wagering, daily tasks and a Bonus Shop into one game with a clear grand prize. For players who enjoy gamification, strategy and progression, it's a standout differentiator — and arguably the best-realised example of the "casino as game" idea in this group of brands.
Good to know (terms apply)
How Diamonds are earned, the district/era rewards, the prize mix and the grand-prize amount can change over time, and bonus/free-spin wins carry the casino's usual wagering requirements. The €5,500 figure is a "win up to" total across the whole empire, not a guaranteed amount. Everything is subject to MyEmpire's terms and conditions. Always check the current Empire-game rules at the casino. 18+. Play responsibly.
