Slots Magic is slots-heavy casino site owned by the software company SkillOnNet. Until February 2014 it was known as Jackpot Party, and mainly featured WMS slots. The name change came about when the previous owners sold their site to SkillOnNet. Jackpot Party had been up and running since 2010.
With a gambling commission license to boot, Slots Magic seems to target UK-based players, although only US and French players are prohibited from playing here. First impressions are good: the homepage gives you ’99 reasons to play’, which is a nod to the 99 free spin offers spread across Starburst, South Park and Gonzo’s Quest slots.
Slots Magic offers a truly stunning welcome package worth £2,000. We’re usually extremely wary of bonuses that run into the thousands, so we’re going to have to do some very detailed investigating here.
First up, this magical bonus offer comes attached to one of two possible free spins bonuses – either 100 free spins on Flip Flap, or 99 free spins on Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest and South Park : Reel Chaos. Flip Flap is a WMS slot that isn’t a lot of cop, so if you want our advice, sacrifice one free spin and go for the second option.
If you do go for the second option, you get 33 free spins on Starburst on joining, and 33 free spins apiece on Gonzo’s Quest and South Park : Reel Chaos once you’ve made your initial deposit.
Naturally, bonus T&Cs apply, and on the site, they take a bit of finding, and reading. In fact we’ve seldom seen such complicated bonus T&Cs, and they run to over forty different clauses. Before you consider joining this casino, we recommend that you read the T&Cs yourself … if you can stay awake, that is!
As far as we could make out, the main gist of these labyrinthine conditions are:
Standard wagering requirements are 30x the bonus only
The maximum you can win from a bonus is £100 or twice the bonus amount
Only slots and scratch cards contribute towards wagering requirements
As we said, the T&Cs go on (and on, and on) for forty clauses, so you will really need to give them a good once over.
You’d kind of expect a site called Slots Magic to be slots-heavy, and you wouldn’t be wrong. There are almost three hundred in total, and you’ll find some great titles such as Foxin’ Wins, Aliens and Twin Spin.
Slots Magic happily does not skimp on its table games. There are ten versions of roulette to enjoy, six versions of blackjack, two versions of baccarat and a version apiece of Caribbean poker, Casino Hold’em, Casino War, Let Then Ride, pai gow poker and craps.
There are four versions of video poker – Aces and Faces, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Joker Poker – and each variety is available in single, 3-hands, 10-hands and 25-hands varieties.
There’s three ‘other’ games, namely The Big Wheel, Doubles Heaven and Hi Lo Cards, plus for live casino fans you can play ‘as live’ at baccarat, blackjack and roulette.
Those 300 slots have to come from somewhere of course. The main coup for Slots Magic came about in November 2014 when they signed up NetEnt to provide software titles at the site. NetEnt are responsible for some brilliant games, including the three classics mentioned in one of the free spins bonus offers.
The other providers at Slots Magic are SkillOnNet, WMS, Amaya and NextGen Gaming.
A number of the games at this casino are available on mobile.
You’re not likely to have any issues funding your account here. As well as Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards, you can use plenty of popular eWallet solutions, including PayPal, Skrill and Neteller.
The payment section on the site is in dire need of an upgrade though. Skrill is still referred to as ‘Moneybookers’ and ecoPayz as ‘EcoCard’. Also, although PayPal is mentioned on the landing page, it hasn’t made it onto the Payment Options page. A bit slap-dash, we think.
