Vegas Spins casino review (UK)

Vegas Spins has a gorgeous dark purple palette. This, together with its simple navigation make it a nice casino to spend some time in. Their straightforward deposit and withdrawal processes are also a plus. And the fact that it is owned by the established 888 Group will instil a sense of trust. However, it does high wagering and capped bonuses which understandably might put some people off.

It is also somehow lacking when it comes to the selection of slots on offer. Yes, it does have NetEnt and Quickspin games but you will also see a heavy push towards other game providers which aren’t as popular. Luckily their search bar makes it easy to look for the games you love.

The welcome bonus is a tricky one. With any deposit of over £10, you will unlock the Prize Wheel Spin. I’m not the biggest fan of these wheels as there is always a chance you will end up with nothing. But there is also a chance you will land on the 777 spins on Starburst which would blow anyone’s mind.

I went ahead and deposited £40 but straight after the deposit went through nothing happened. I looked through the website and tried loading a few games but still, nothing happened. After a few minutes or so I refreshed the ‘My Offers’ page and found the unlocked Prize Wheel at the bottom of the page. Ideally, this should be on top and within easy reach.

I was super excited when the wheel stopped at 100 free spins! But the excitement quickly washed over me when the terms said that I got these on 5 different days rather than all at once.

I went on the vouchers area and my first 20 spins were there waiting for me. Together with the other 4 batches all locked with elapsed time counting down. All 100 spins are on Eyecon games, an Australian provider which develops the Fluffy Favourites series of games. My first batch of 20 spins was on Stampede and I managed to win £5.35. However, I only received £5 and that £5 will need to be wagered 85 times. This is way higher than industry standards and it had me asking myself why I opted-in for the bonus in the first place.

There’s a wide selection of NetEnt games available but you will also find quite a few games from less known providers such as Eyecon. I went into the Trending section to find something I never played before. Being Japan-obsessed I saw Panda Manga and settled for that. It’s a game developed by Section8 Studio and whilst it had fresh and clean graphics it just didn’t grip me. Possibly because I am not a big fan of having the main soundtrack play only when the reels are spinning.

I closed the game and went searching for something else. This time I stumbled on Eyecon’s Kitty Payout Super Jackpot. This game is hard to resist, at least for me. It has super cute kitties making an appearance. If you get 3 of them you will also enter the bonus round. I managed this after quite a few spins and was rewarded with 25 free spins where I won around £8.

I collected my winnings and went looking for something to counter the cute. And what better game than Narcos? I had some really good fun playing Narcos and also managed to hit quite a few of the bonus rounds. But my funds quickly went down trying to chase the Free Spins round which I never managed to get into.

On Vegas Spins the chosen game will open up in a new window and I am not a fan of that. I also noticed that the balance on the slot window and the balance on the site itself can be out of sync. The balance on the main site will update before the spin finishes. This ruined some of the mystery as I was able to deduct the outcome of the spin before it actually finished.

I accessed Vegas Spins on a Chrome browser via my iOS device. This resulted in a much better casino experience. It feels like this casino is more geared towards mobile players rather than desktop ones. I tried a few games from different providers but settled on playing a few good rounds on NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest.

The game loads in the same frame of the website. That means there isn’t the issue experienced on desktop where your balance updates before the spin is complete.

You will find information about how to contact support by clicking on your username. Then navigate to ‘Useful links’ and finally on ‘Support.’

Here you’ll notice you can get in touch either via phone through a toll-free number if you’re in the UK or via email. There are no hours when support is available and no indication of any sort of FAQs.

Account creation is as easy as 4 simple steps with start with your name and DOB followed by your address on the second step. Here you’ll be advised that the casino will run a check on your mailing address so that the account can be activated. Then you are asked for your email and phone number. Finally, you will need to choose a username and password to access the casino.

As soon as I entered all this data a popup informed me the casino was running a check to verify my address and that was it. I was ready to go on to deposit.

As with other 888 casinos, I didn’t have to go through any KYC or send in any documentation. The search on my address and using a debit card seem to be enough as I wasn’t asked for anything for my withdrawal to be accepted.

You can either deposit via PayPal or via Debit or PaySafeCard at Vegas Spins. I deposited £40 using my Debit Card and it went through without a hitch. After depositing I thought I would get access to the wheel but unfortunately, this didn’t happen. After I refreshed the site a few times the Prize Wheel appeared under the promotions section.

When I went below £25 I decided to withdraw my money. I went to the cashier button which will open a popup. Clicking on ‘Withdrawal’ will show you how much you are able to withdraw excluding any bonus winnings. There is a minimum withdrawal of £10.

I inputted the amount I want to withdraw and accepted to forfeit any bonuses I had pending. I then chose where I would like the money to be sent - in this case, back to my Debit account - and that was it. I received an email about my withdrawal being accepted 2 days later and the money was in my account within 3 days. That's a total of 5 days after I first submitted my cashout.
