Jackpot City Casino

About Jackpot City Casino

Although it is new to the UK, Jackpot City Casino is very well known internationally and has entertained millions of players in Canada and many other geos since 1998.  Now, a version that’s just for UK players has been created.  It’s managed by Betway (who also manage their own online casino and a number of others including the Hippodrome online) under their UK licence.  Betway have an excellent reputation for looking after their players and they also hold all customer funds in a fully segregated account gaining them a high protection rating in that area.  They use the slogan “Bet The Responsible Way” to encourage players to be mindful.

Getting Started At Jackpot City Casino

Opening an account is quick and easy but there are some points to be aware of

• In order to be able to claim the welcome offer, you will need to opt in during the process of filling in the registration form
• You then have 7 days to make the actual deposit and collect the slot bonus part of the offer
• You MUST use a debit card to make the deposit (and do check it is eligible as some of the more exotic issuing banks are excluded – there’s a list on site)
• You now have to play £20 on any Games Global Game to collect the free spins.  You probably know these better as Microgaming slots but in any case they have their own lobby area.  To find and use the free spins, open the Gold Blitz or Jackpot City Gold Blitz slot game

Jackpot City Casino – Games

Betway have a long standing association with Microgaming and it shows; most of the slot games are from Games Global (who own Microgaming’s online games portfolio and distribution business).  As well as Microgaming classics such as 9 Masks of Fire, Thunderstruck and several sequels, Deco Diamonds and many of the Amazing Link games,  there are a few non Microgaming classic titles like Bonanza, Rainbow Riches and Cleopatra.  And there’s also a handful of slot games by Pragmatic Play (mostly Big Bass games and just enough of them for Jackpot City to be able to participate in the Drops & Wins promotion).

The progressive jackpots are all courtesy of Games Global.  As you’d expect from a casino that specialises in these games, there’s Mega Moolah and WowPots.  And there’s also two others you may not have come across before – King Millions (which debuted in 2023 on 9 Masks of Fire) and “Must Win Jackpots” daily jackpot versions of games such as Fishin’ Pots of Gold, Thunderstruck Wild Lightning and Break da Bank Again Megaways. Lots to choose from then!

Going beyond slots, Jackpot City Casino also has a number of Slingo titles and one crash game, Aviator.  And then there’s the live casino, which has roulette, blackjack, baccarat, game shows and other games mainly by Evolution and Pragmatic Play.

This isn’t the biggest selection of games in the world and it’s heavily skewed towards Games Global.  But if you are into Microgaming progressive jackpots and the Microgaming back catalogue it could be just right.

Jackpot City Casino – What Else You Need To Know

The casino works equally well across all devices.  On a mobile phone, the game tiles are arranged in two columns; some lobby areas are initially offscreen but can easily be brought into view by swiping. The only other real difference between mobile and desktp versions of the lobby is that on a phone, the game search box and link to the promotions page are on a sticky bar at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top.

Speaking of promotions, as well as a number of leaderboards and other promotions run in conjunction with Pragmatic Play and Games Global, Jackpot City has a signature promotion that UK players are going to love.  Every day, you can log in and collect up to 10 bonus spins on the Mega Money Wheel game which has a fixed jackpot of £1 million and is otherwise not available in the UK.

Final Thoughts

The focus on Games Global and the need to use a debit card to deposit if you want to claim the welcome offer will be off putting for some. But for most players, Jackpot City Casino will represent a refreshing change from most UK facing casinos – and Betway’s excellent reputation speaks for itself.
