Overview
Launched in 2016, Amazon Slots is a casino site created by bingo specialists Jumpman Gaming Limited. While it’s relatively new on the scene, Amazon Slots is already gaining a reputation as a popular destination for bingo fans. As you may guess by the site’s name, slots play a big role on the site, with well over 500 to choose from. However, the big draw is the Mega Wheel, where you can win up to 500 Free Spins on Starburst as part of your Welcome Offer. So far so good, but all good bingo fans will know that it takes more than a sheer number of games to make a great bingo slots site. Read our impartial Amazon slots review below for the full take on this fun site
Safety and Trustworthiness
Jumpman Gaming is a huge company, operating several top UK bingo sites, as well as casino sites similar to Amazon Slots. The company is headquartered in Guernsey, so licensing is overseen by both the UK Gambling Commission and Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Both organisations have a strong reputation for ensuring player safety and fair gaming. Software on Amazon Slots is tested and approved by SQS, a global leader in software testing and data is protected by SSL technology. Fair payout reports for Jumpman are tested by eCOGRA.
Generally testimonials from players on review sites have been, scoring high in areas like customer support and game choice. One non-player friendly term and condition we do need to point out though is a clause stating that players not active for 180 days will receive an email to that effect, with all funds in their account being forfeited to the company. This is basically the only red mark against the site/company and something to be aware of.
Deposits & Withdrawals
There isn’t a huge number of deposit options, but most areas have been covered, including PayPal and Pay by Mobile. Lack of support for Skrill and Ukash are notable omissions. A £200 maximum deposit limit suggests Amazon Slots isn’t aiming to attract high rollers.
Bonuses
The signature bingo offer is a spin for a guaranteed prize on the Mega Wheel. You get this just by registering an account and making a deposit of £10 or more. The prizes on the Mega Wheel include free spins on Starburst or Fluffy Favourites, with the headline-grabber being 500 spins on the former. There is also the chance to win cash vouchers for Amazon (the retail site/not affiliated with Amazon Slots). Once you have had your first spin, any subsequent deposits of £20 or more will trigger another chance on the Mega Wheel.
The Mega Wheel is a fairly attractive way to entice players to play at Amazon Slots. There are, however, some caveats. First, winnings from free spins are capped at £8 per 10 spins. Second, winnings are turned into bonus cash, which must be turned over 65 times before withdrawal. This more than a little bit steep in our view, but there is no reason why some patient play can’t lead to a tidy profit from the bonus. Still, the Mega Wheel is a welcome break from the norm, but arguably more suited to casual players than high rollers.
The good news is that there are plenty of other innovative promotions at Amazon Slots. Like all the best bingo sites, Amazon Slots has an offer for specifically tailored for “newbies” – cashback for the first 31 days of play. This is added to the standard loyalty points cashback. There is also the chance to win 50-500 Free Spins on the Turbo Reel (once you have deposited £100 or more), Daily Cashback and Happy Hours.
Indeed, Amazon Slots commitment to doing things a little differently is best summed up by its Pizza Club, a promo with which you can earn £15 vouchers for Pizza Express restaurants.
Finally Amazon Slots has a VIP scheme, where you will earn Kudos Points with each wager on slots. Moving up through the levels will unlock greater prizes, including an enhanced Mega Wheel and up to 10% daily cashback (Legend VIP status). If you are already a VIP at another casino or online bingo site, you can contact Amazon Slots for an instant upgrade before you join.
Game Selection
Amazon Slots is limited in its bingo selection with being the highlight of the site. There are 587 slot games in total, with top software developers like NetEnt, Microgaming and iSoftBet all represented.You will find plenty of games popular with bingo players, including the full range of Fluffy Favourites and Rainbow Riches slots. Other big favourites include Avalon II, Aloha: Cluster Pays, Foxin’ Wins and Lucky Leprechaun. There is also a wide selection of fairy-tale themed and adventure slots.
The number of jackpot games on the site is top-notch, with a current total of 36 slots offering progressive jackpots. Some of the more popular picks include Fluffy Favourites Mega Jackpot, Mega Moolah and Irish Luck Jackpot.
There is also a handful of classic casino games, including Blackjack, Roulette and Deuces Wild (video poker) together with around half a dozen scratchcards are available too. This is a site designed and built for the casual slots player rather than a high rolling table game player.
Navigation through the site is easy. You can find games by Amazon Slots’ recommendation, by creating your own favourites list, or just by searching manually. While the site is full of colour and there is plenty going on, it doesn’t overwhelm players with too much clutter. Put simply, you can find jackpot info, promotions and other important sections with ease.
Mobile App
You can download the Amazon Slots app from both iTunes and Google Play. It’s a slick, nice-looking app that brings all the same features as the desktop site. It was impressive how quickly the games loaded on mobile, and all 36 jackpot games are available on the app together with the 550+ slot and table games.
Promotions
Support
All options of support are available to players at Amazon Slots, including live chat, email and telephone. A WhatsApp number is also provided, which again shows Amazon Slots is committed to ‘moving with the times’.
Review Summary
Amazon Slots is an excellent site for lovers of slot games. While it seems to be designed for casual players on low budgets, there are plenty of big jackpots games to make the visit to the site, potentially, life-changing. The Mega Wheel, as well as other promos like Pizza Club, show Amazon Slots is trying to bring some different and creative to the table. We would maybe like to see the wagering requirements for free spins lowered slightly. But, by and large, it has succeeded in distinguishing itself from other casino sites. A worthy 8/10.
