Lux Casino is a new UK facing online casino from the people who brought you Happy Tiger. The games library is a great mix of familiar titles and their own exclusive games.
Lux Casino is specifically for UK players and is the brainchild of Happytiger ApS, who are based in Denmark and have held a UK licence since 2021. They build their own slot games and bingo rooms, and when they first launched in the UK with the original Happy Tiger website and app, it was with their own games only.
The product has got even better as they now work with several well known game providers so you’ve got the choice between playing a game everyone knows or sampling something new.
The first impression you’ll get of Lux Casino is quite something! Someone has artfully used AI to create some stunning pieces of video. One stars a gold prospector and his eagle sidekick; it’s a must-see. The other video is a long panning shot across a casino floor, zooming in on roulette and other games.
Now for a piece of potentially bad news; if you’ve played at any of Happy Tiger’s other casinos you won’t be able to claim the welcome offer here. In fact, you’ll find that you’ve already got an account at Lux Casino because your login credentials and wallet from the other casino will work there and at all other Happy Tiger casinos.
For those who haven’t played at other Happy Tiger brands, the registration process is quick and easy and unless they need to do further account verification you should be up and running in a few minutes. One thing to be aware of is that although they do accept deposits using Paypal, you can’t use it to claim a bonus and you will find it greyed out on the cashier screen.
Once you’re registered and logged in at Lux Casino, you’ll find yourself in a mobile friendly lobby that’s tastefully done up in shades of green with a hint of Art Deco. There are three main lobby areas – Slots, Casino and Winners.
Slots is absolutely rammed with games categories displayed in carousels. Games are grouped by theme (Big Catch, Ancient Treasures, Classic & Gems, Wild Kingdom and many others) and by game mechanic (Gold Blitz Frenzy, Megaways Mania), and there’s also a section for exclusive games and – in pride of place – “top games right now” which is a mixture of classics like Starburst, Bonanza and Big Bass Splash, popular recent releases and a sprinkling of their own exclusive games.
Although there’s no section for jackpot slots, they are easy to find – just look in Exclusive Slots where you’ll see that most of their 30 or so exclusive games have 5 figure Super Jackpots, with the current jackpot amount shown on the game tile.
It’s easy to find even more slot games by using the search box. It’s lightning fast, starts to show results when you’ve typed in a single character, and only shows results that are an exact match; if there’s no matches, it says so and shows you a selection of 8 games that are “hot right now”.
The Casino part of the lobby has live dealer and first person versions of blackjack, roulette and game shows by Evolution, plus a couple of stray instant win games (Plinko Clusters and Mines Supreme).
The Winners lobby area is unique to Happy Tiger sites. There’s a display of the total Super Jackpot amount and a list of winners including the amount they won, when they won it and which game they were playing. You can switch between Biggest Winners and Latest Winners and you can also use the drop down list to see winners on any of their exclusive slot games.
Lux Casino also has Happy Tiger’s two bingo rooms but you won’t spot them in the lobby – you need to use the search box. If you have any interest in bingo they are definitely worth a look. One is 75 ball and one is 90 ball and both have Happy Tiger’s exclusive Bingo Flash feature whereby the full house prize is not decided until the end of the game and can be as much as £2500. There’s also a chatroom connected to the bingo rooms and the Happy Tiger exclusive slot games.
Lux Casino does not have a promotions page, so if you want to be informed about any offers they run you will need to opt in to receive them by SMS, email or both.
It’s clear they take customer support seriously. There’s a comprehensive FAQ and a webform you can use to contact them any time. Very unusually for an online casino these days, you can also contact them by phone (although not 24/7 – check the website for the phone line opening hours).
It’s a proper casino, with plenty of live dealer games, but the emphasis at Lux Casino is very much on entertainment. If you like to play on your mobile phone, it could be right up your street.
At Best New Bingo Sites all of our reviews are completely honest and written by industry experts who have deposited and played at lots of online casinos. We present all our offers as transparently as possible, with a full and detailed explanation of the terms and conditions. We receive commission from the brands we feature and this can affect their positioning on our listings pages.
Lux Casino has the same interactive Safer Gambling page as other Happy Tiger brands. It’s really nicely laid out; you can go straight to getting advice on your own or a family member’s gambling or you can see all of the safer gambling content in the Archive under Knowledge (checklists and advice), Help (internal and external) and Tools (the usual plus loss limits). The Tools section also contains detail about the affordability limits their system sets for you, along with a video about how to block gambling sites and a link to the self assessment test at GambleAware.
