Overview
A new casino from BGO Entertainment, Vegas Luck Casino promises to deliver lots of exciting games and thrilling promotions. With around 500 slots, including a big range of Playtech games, it certainly delivers on the former. And, with a free spins welcome bonus that has no wagering requirements or maximum win caps, it looks like the promos are pretty solid too. Let’s dive in for a closer look at everything you need to know about Vegas Luck Casino.
Safety and Trustworthiness
Vegas Luck is owned and operated by BGO Entertainment Limited, one of the UK’s most prominent online casino brands. Vegas Luck Casino has a licence from the UK Gambling Commission for players based in Britain, as well as the Alderney Gambling Control Commission for overseas players. Vegas Luck employs eCOGRA as an independent mediator for any disputes they cannot resolve directly.
Payout figures are also published after independent verification. In addition, Vegas Luck lays out in great detail the security measures it takes to protect your information and any financial transaction made by you. In short, Vegas Luck takes all the steps needed to ensure your experience playing on the site is fair and secure, while employing some of the world’s most reputable regulatory bodies for oversight.
As Vegas Luck Casino has only been in operation for a few months, there isn’t a huge body of feedback from players and expert reviewers. However, early indications are widely positive. ThePogg, AskGamblers and Casinopedia all recommend Vegas Luck Casino, all citing gaming software, payout speed and customer service as strong points. Player reviews are also very strong. The parent company, BGO Entertainment, also enjoys a stellar reputation in the gaming industry.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Plenty of payment methods, including PayPal, are available at Vegas Luck, which is noted for its speedy withdrawals. A 2.5% ‘tax off-setting’ fee is applied to deposits under £500, meaning a £20 deposit would have a 50p charge. A £2.50 charge is applied to withdrawals. We are obviously not big fans of this charge, which applies to all BGO Entertainment sites, but many players seem to feel it’s a fair trade-off for fast processing of withdrawals and the frequent wager free bonus offers at Vegas Luck.
Bonuses
The Welcome Bonus at Vegas Luck Casino offers up to 50 free spins on your first deposit. The free spins are available to play on Finn and the Swirly Spin, an innovative new slot game from NetEnt. One free spin is awarded for each £1 you deposit, allowing up to a maximum of 50 free spins for a £50 deposit. Winnings from the free spins have no wagering requirements and can be withdrawn instantly, nor are there any maximum win caps. Free spins are valued at £0.10 each. Neteller and Skrill deposits are not included in the welcome bonus.
While the offer up to £5 worth of free spins may not seem as big as the headline-grabbing welcome bonuses of other casino sites, it should be judged in the context of the lack of terms applied to them. Indeed, it should be stressed that winnings from the free spins instantly becomes real, withdrawable cash. Moreover, it seems that more casino sites are beginning to follow this model, as many players prefer clearer bonus offers over complicated ones with heavy wagering requirements and other stipulations.
Game Selection
The first thing you will notice about the Vegas Luck Casino site is that there is a huge choice of Playtech games mixed in with other big-name software providers like NetEnt and IGT. This is somewhat unusual, as Playtech often has exclusive agreements with casino sites, limiting the choice of other games. In short, you get the best of both worlds at Vegas Luck Casino – top games from the best casino games developers all in one place. Although to be fair, we should point out that Microgaming titles are not featured at Vegas Luck Casino.
The choice of slots is both varied and broad, with 495 individual titles. Playtech is the most prominent developer on the site, so you will get all the popular titles like Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven, Marilyn Monroe slot, Gladiator and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. NetEnt is also heavily featured, with many of its signature games – Starburst, Swipe & Roll, Gonzo’s Quest, Twin Spin and the Legend of Shangri-La – available at Vegas Luck. One of our favourite aspects of Vegas Luck is that there is also a choice of games that you would usually only find at online bingo sites, including Fluffy Favourites and Puggy Payout.
Vegas Luck’s strongest suit is arguably the huge choice of jackpot slot games, with 84 titles in total. Within this selection, you will find Playtech’s two signature jackpot series, Age of the Gods and DC Comics Jackpot Slots. In addition, there is the inter-linked Jackpot King range, featuring titles like Top Cat, Star Spinner and Genie Jackpots. There are also superb standalone jackpot games, such as NetEnt’s Mega Fortune.
Lots of virtual tables and card games are available at Vegas Luck, with a rich selection of blackjack and roulette titles, including Blackjack Switch, Double Attack Blackjack, 3D Roulette and Multi-Wheel Roulette. A small selection of casino hold’em, baccarat and video poker are also offered. We’d like to see a bit more variation, perhaps the addition of craps and more poker, but there are plenty of options for roulette and blackjack players.
Live casino is powered by Playtech, offering eight different rooms covering blackjack, roulette, baccarat, hi-lo and casino hold’em. The number of live dealer games is probably a bit lower than elsewhere, but all the bases are covered.
A note on the layout and design at Vegas Luck, which has a rather loose Irish theme. The site is easy to navigate around, and there is a minimalistic approach to organising all the games, which players should find refreshing. We must point out, however, that not all games are found under the main tabs. Video pokers, for example, must be searched for manually by title. Adding another section with ‘other’ games would easily fix this problem. Still, it’s a very minor criticism of an attractive and easy-to-use site.
Mobile App
Vegas Luck does not have a mobile app, but many of the site’s games have been optimised for mobile casino play. In fact, the Vegas Luck mobile casino site offers a slick experience, one that is almost as good as an app. The mobile site runs well on any fairly modern Android or Apple smartphone or tablet.
As mentioned, most of the games make it over from the desktop site. For example, 429 of the slot games are available to play on mobile, 63 of which are progressive jackpot games. Many of the best casino games to play on mobile are available, including Wild Wishes, Buffalo Blitz and Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business. A good choice of virtual blackjack and roulette can be found at Vegas Luck mobile. All of the live dealer tables found on the main site can be accessed through your mobile. Bonuses and promotions are the same on mobile.
Promotions
We get the impression that Vegas Luck is still trying to find its feet when it comes to retention promotions like reload bonuses and daily casino offers. For the moment, promos are thin on the ground, but we know that sister site, BGO Casino, is usually laden with promotions for existing players, so we will give Vegas Luck the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
However, we can see that Vegas Luck has some ambition when it comes to unique promos. At the time of writing, the site is running a prize draw for regular players, offering them the chance to see the heavyweight title boxing fight between Anthony Joshua and Jarrell Miller in New York City.
The boxing promotion above is linked to Vegas Luck’s excellent loyalty scheme – the Rewards Store. Every £10 you bet on slot earns 1 Diamond, which can be later exchanged for free spins (no wagering) or cash. It should be stressed that the rate of exchange is much better than the loyalty points scheme at other online casinos. Moreover, you can also access Golden Chips (worth £5+) as you rack up the Diamonds. As of yet, there isn’t a defined VIP scheme at Vegas Luck, but high rollers can really profit through the Rewards Store.
Support
Live chat is friendly and professional, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Email testing also saw very prompt responses from the customer service team. Top marks here.
Review Summary
With Vegas Luck, we see a new casino site with very big potential. Having Playtech games sitting alongside other top developers is a big, big plus, whereas the choice of jackpot games is also a huge draw. Moreover, like BGO Casino, the reward scheme is one of the best around. There are a couple of minor criticisms, including the lack of regular promotions. However, we will give Vegas Luck the benefit of the doubt that they will add more concrete offers in the future. The small transaction fee for deposits and withdrawals is, unfortunately, something that is unlikely to change. Still, some will view it as a fair trade-off for a site that rarely applies any wagering requirements or restrictions to bonuses. 8/10. A fine addition to the UK online casino landscape.
