About Mecca Games

Mecca Games landed in 2021 as Rank Interactive’s dedicated “slots & instant wins” off-shoot of Mecca Bingo. Licensing comes double-barrelled (UKGC + Gibraltar), and the brand even bagged WhichBingo’s “Best Slots Site” award in 2022 – very impressive for a site in its rookie year.

Stylistically, I’ve noticed that it leans on the parent company’s pink-and-purple palette but reins it in when it comes to the bingo-themed touches. The homepage is white, clean and mobile-first: big game tiles, chunky fonts and no scrolling marquees. If you’re familiar with the Mecca Bingo brand, Mecca Games’ design will be immediately recognisable – “Mecca, but make it slots”.

Getting Started at Mecca Games

Registration at Mecca Games basically mirrors every other Rank site:

1. Two short pages of personal details, where you enter your email address, home address, phone number, name and date of birth.
2. Choose marketing preferences. I’d recommend at least opting in to email, because Mecca Games does send quite a few exclusive offers.
3. Pick a deposit limit. You can’t sidestep this; it’s mandatory here.

The welcome bundle auto-triggers at the cashier – there’s no code and no hidden opt-in box. The full KYC check doesn’t pop up until your first withdrawal, but I’d recommend you upload ID docs early (you can do this in My Account) if you like to get admin out of the way.

Something worth noting: if you want to claim the welcome offer your first deposit has to be made via instant bank transfer or debit card (either directly or via Apple Pay).  Other payment methods are excluded.

Slot Games at Mecca Games

I opened the casino lobby and the first thing that jumped at me was the number of games available – just 200 slots can be readily found here. When you’re looking at an online casino market where most sites have at least 1000 games, this definitely pales in comparison – but the catalogue is curated in such a way that you’re not missing the quantity and are pushed more towards appreciating the quality.

It’s a lobby that’s more focused on the evergreen giants – for example, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, IGT, Blueprint and Microgaming. . .

Mecca also does a great of pointing you in the right direction by featuring different hubs:

• Megaways: Powered predominantly by Blueprint and Big-Time-Gaming licences, the section covers over 100 games like The Goonies and Deal or No Deal – plus some Red Tiger Megaways titles like Big Cat Rescue. Pragmatic’s newer Big Bass Games (like Amazon Xtreme and Vegas Megaways) are here too.
• Jackpots: Blueprint’s Jackpot King headlines the section with lots of progressive versions of games like Fishin’ Frenzy, The Goonies and Pots O’ Gold. Sitting alongside these are Microgaming’s Mega Moolah, IGT’s Megajackpots series, several Eyecon jackpots and a smattering of Red Tiger daily drops.
• Slots and Games: This is the best of the rest, basically, featured a nicely curated selection of the most popular slots on the market. Here is where you’ll also find fun instant-win curiosities, like Flippin’ Rich LuckyTap and Fishin Frenzy Scracthcard. that ditch reels entirely for wheel-spins, coin-pushers and scratch-offs.

All of these categories sit on a single navigation bar, so nothing is more than two taps away on mobile. Unfortunately, there’s no full provider filter but I do like the Crowd Favourites section, as it actually makes some great recommendations.

Another thing I really appreciate about Mecca Games is that its New section is different almost every day. As soon as a new game launches, you’ll find it here. Plus -there’s a headline Hot New Releases section, where the operator picks a select few fresh games for players to focus on.

If you’re looking for table games, this isn’t the place for it. There are no RNG games and the live casino has been stripped back to just a few gameshows including Crazy Time.. I couldn’t find them under the main game headings and had to search, so it’s not like Mecca is pushing players towards these titles.

Other Things to Consider

Mecca Games features a handful of recurring offers that keep things interesting, like the Mecca Winning Whirl which can be be spun daily for the opportunity to win prize draw entries or free spins.

They also run plenty of network promos including slots leaderboards and prize draws.

There’s no formal, multi-tier VIP ladder any more; Rank has recently retired the old scheme in favour of “priority” treatment. This is a software driven approach where players who deposit and play regularly tend to receive ad-hoc offers. These aren’t advertised on the site, though, and you have to sign up to marketing emails to be able to get your hands on them.

In terms of banking, the selection of options is pretty small but it covers the essential bases. I’d say the minimum limits are budget friendly at £10 for both deposits and withdrawals.

Speed is definitely the stand-out perk. Once the routine fraud check clears (usually under an hour), withdrawals can land in as little as 15 minutes; the site says that standard card payouts can take up to three working days but I received mine within 24 hours.

When it comes to customer support, it’s a little bit disappointing that live chat is only available from 7 am to 10:30 pm daily but I found that you get email responses around the clock.

Final Thoughts

Rank has taken the elements that made Mecca Bingo a high-street staple and wrapped it around a modern slots-focused online casino. The absence of table games may be a little bit of a bummer for those of you who like to mix it up from time to time but there are plenty of instant wins if you want to take a break from slots.

There are plenty of promotions that I find are certainly worth claiming and even though there isn’t a defined VIP program, the bespoke email offers are nice rewards for regular players.

I believe the site could do better by adding a couple of filters – even if there’s just one for game providers. Plus, adding a handful of blackjack and roulette tables would definitely widen the audience without diluting the slots focus.

Still, taken as a whole, though, Mecca Games delivers what UK slots players are really after: a huge, well-curated game selection, quick withdrawals and promos that offer useful perks.
