About Metropolitan Gaming Online

It’s always reassuring when an online casino has the backing of a brand with bricks and mortar presence in the UK, and so it is with Metropolitan Gaming. They run four casino venues in London (including London’s biggest casino, the 55,000 square foot Empire in Leicester Square) as well as casinos in Manchester, Nottingham, Brighton and Glasgow.  They have an international presence too, consisting of three venues in Cairo, Egypt.

The online arm of this gaming empire is an Aspire skin, but the association with the land based venues allows them to offer new online players points for the land based loyalty scheme along with the welcome offer.

Getting Started

The registration process at Metropolitan Gaming Online is quick and easy, with just two screens to get through.  On the first screen, you enter your email address and create a username and password, and on the second you enter further details including your address, date of birth, occupation and phone number.

This second screen is also where you must enter the bonus code for the welcome offer you want to claim even if you’re not going to deposit immediately, and where you opt into receiving promotional offers.  Tick the box to accept the terms and confirm you’re at least 18, and you’re ready to deposit and play!

Range of Games

As you’d expect from a brand associated with bricks and mortar casinos, the live casino tab has been given the most prominent position in the lobby and in pride of place are live roulette tables streamed from their London and Manchester casinos, along with many other roulette games.  There’s also a good range of blackjack tables and other table and card games, and a few game shows including Evolution’s Crazy Time and Mega Ball and Skywind’s Joker’s Wheel.

On to the slot games, and there are hundreds of these to choose from and not a lot of lobby categorisation:

  • Featured Games – Evergreen favourites including Book of Dead, Big Bass Bonanza, Starburst, 9 Pots of Gold etc
  • New – As you’d expect, it contains recent releases and is frequently refreshed
  • Jackpots – Around 30 Jackpot King slots by Blueprint plus a few other progressive jackpot slots such as Mercy of the Gods
  • Megaways – If you are a fan of the Megaways game mechanic you’ll like it here
  • Metropolitan Favourites – Cleopatra, Book of Ra and other slot games that you might have enjoyed playing at their land based venues

If the game you want is not in any of these lobby areas you can either browse through the All Games tab where all of the games are displayed in a seemingly random order (possibly to do with how often they are played) or use the search box to look for them by name.  And this applies not just to slot games but to Slingo, scratchcards and other non slot games like Spribe’s iconic crash game Aviator.  So while it may be easy to find a game the name of which you already know, it’s not so easy to find fresh games which are similar to games you’ve previously enjoyed.

Perhaps unusually for a brand associated with land based casinos, Metropolitan Gaming Online also has a fully featured sportsbook offering bets on a wide range of sports and esports.  You can bet in advance or in-play and odds can be displayed decimally, fractionally or American style.

Other Considerations

Metropolitan Gaming Online runs two main types of promotion:

  1. Leaderboards and mystery drops run in conjunction with slot games providers; the Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins promotion is probably the best known of these but they also work with other providers such as Wazdan and iSoftBet.
  2. Promotions such as Daily Spins Frenzy that allow you to collect spins or bonuses based on deposits or wagering.  These can be sent by email rather than appearing on the promotions page.

So quite a bit going on, but nothing exclusive.

The wagering requirements at this casino seem very reasonable but it is important to understand that there are quite a lot of slot games that only contribute at 50%; you can find out which ones they are by following the link in the site’s Bonus Policy

Many payment methods are available, including the increasingly popular Trustly, and there are no charges for using any of them.

Final Thoughts

Although Metropolitan Casino Online is very similar to other sites on the Aspire Global platform, a few things give it a bit of an edge. The inclusion of a sportsbook, the association with a bricks and mortar casino brand and the rather more generous than usual welcome offer mean it is definitely well worth checking out.

  • Safer Gambling Provision

    Aspire’s Responsible Gambling Policy is a bit of a wall of text, but it does include direct links to their safer gambling tools; read it thoroughly and you will find that they offer daily wagering and loss limits and session time limits as well as the mandated deposit limits, but (unlike said deposit limits which can be controlled vis your account settings) these can only be set by speaking to customer services on live chat which some players may not feel comfortable with.  The policy could also do with an update as it mentions slot game autoplay limits which haven’t been a thing for a few years now.
