Luck Casino

Luck Casino is one of two UK facing casinos owned by the Skywind Group (the other is Mad Slots).  It’s on the Viral Interactive platform which is not common in the UK.  Another thing that is not common in the UK is the selection of slot games, and therein lies a tale.

The Skywind Group was founded back in 2012 and holds a UK licence (via a Gibraltar subsidiary) for gambling software and game host (casino) which was issued in 2018.  For mnay UK players, they will first have come on the radar with the release of the Downton Abbey slot game in 2019. The Skywind slots portfolio comprises a couple of hundred games, so it was a canny acquisition to add the 500 or so games from Slot Factory to the line-up.  And when we say acquisition, we do mean acquisition – they bought Slot Factory in mid 2022, not directly but as part of the takeover of UK operator InTouch Games whose in-house game studio it was.

InTouch operated a string of mobile phone casinos with proprietary Slot Factory games. As almost all online casinos work well on a mobile phone these days and have a much wider range of slots, this concept was looking a bit long in the tooth.  There were also ongoing issues with the Gambling Commission with regard to procedural failings which happened long before Skywind took over. When the InTouch licence was suspended in September 2023 due to yet another piece of regulatory action over historical failings, Skywind as the parent organisation decided the best course of action was to surrender the licence, so all of the InTouch sites were closed. Along with them went some of the older Slot Factory games such as Money Grows On Trees as they were covered by the InTouch gambling software licence.  As for newer Slot Factory games – you’ll find a whole load of them at Luck Casino, giving you a great opportunity to try some games you may not have come across before!

As well as these exclusive slot games, Luck Casino has a great range of other games by well known providers including Pragmatic Play (complete with the very popular and long running Drops & Wins promotion) and PlayNGo.  And like sister site Mad Slots, it has a page which shows real-time RTP for the “hottest” and “coldest” slots over the last hour and last 24 hours; unsurprisingly, both sides tend to be full of super high volatility games like the Big Bass series.

The live casino part of the site is also a refreshing change from what you’ll find elsewhere.  Blackjack and baccarat by Pragmatic Play may be familiar, the rest of the games – roulette, more blackjack and baccarat and the game show Joker’s Wheel – less so as they are Skywind’s own.

Luck Casino has an impressive array of promotions including (at the time of writing) a daily free gift for users of their mobile app (available on Apple and Android).  There’s also various weekly offers.

All in all, if you’re looking for something a little bit different to all of the usual UK online casinos, Luck Casino could be just the thing.
