NY Spins is a rather wonderful UK facing online casino that’s a far cry from the usual sort of skin site.
Grab a cawfee, I mean coffee, we are about to embark on a trip to The Big Apple, the city that never sleeps. Before we arrive at our destination the term “The Big Apple” was popularised back in the 1920’s by a sports writer who wrote a column about horse racing. It was called,” Around The Big Apple” which refers to a nickname given to bigtime racing tracks around New York. So does NY Spins deliver a Broadway performance? Let’s find out.
NY Spins was launched in 2017 by SuprNation, a well respected casino provider. They also operate sister sites Duelz Casino and Voodoo Dreams. This casino provider is unique in the way it engages its customers. Using gamification at its finest they theme their loyalty bonus and structure on the theme of the casino, in this case New York. Your game play earns you points which unlocks different levels, the first level being Manhattan. There are numerous levels to unlock each which offer you a bonus. You can then exchange your points for free spins and cash at “The Marketplace” which are all wager free. So hypothetically you could save all your points up to the end level “top of the rock” and exchange your points for £250 cash.
Their homepage has an inviting feel, set on a white and light grey background you can see the New York skyline with the Statue of Liberty in the background. It has personality but is artful with it, their logo is broken up by the Statue of Liberty, it’s the little details.
This platform delivers over 2500+ games from some of the most popular providers including Evolution, Netent and Pragmatic Play to name a few. Game categories run across the middle in white leading you to various parts of their casino, with your account area and support if needed towards the left. Navigating around is very simple with everything available from the homepage.
The sign up process with NY Spins was very straightforward and extremely quick taking a minute or two. There are also options to set reality checks and deposit limits before you begin your player experience.
NY Spins welcome offer is an appealing 100% deposit bonus up to £50 and 50 free spins which are wager free. You can claim this by tapping or clicking on the above link. Once signed up, select the promotion from your inbox within the account area when depositing for the first time. The deposit bonus does come with wagering requirements of 30x on deposit and bonus funds but offers some good value.
NY Spins will try to verify your account when you open. When I signed up I was instantly verified and ready to go. However, you could be asked for further verification before you play. Being required to provide ID and proof of address is completely normal and nothing to worry about with NY Spins practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.
Spinning around New York unlocking landmarks within the previous mentioned loyalty rewards is great, but what slot games are available to spin?
Well firstly the catalogue of games here is great and relatively easy to find as this platform makes every effort to neatly place titles into a number of categories. The Top Picks section includes Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play and 9 Pots of Gold by Gameburger Studios. Naturally, NY Spins keep you smack up to date with New titles with this category being updated weekly. The exciting Gold Blitz King Millions by Fortune Factory Studios was at home there. The Megaways section is bursting at the seams with some classics like Chilli Heat Megaways and Great Rhino Megaways both by Pragmatic Play.
I found the Volatile category really interesting as it was home to a few of my own personal favourites which are Dead or Alive by Netent and Bonanza by Big Time Gaming to name a couple. Be warned though these games are high variance and don’t pay out as often, but if they do the wins tend to be bigger.
Progressive Jackpot slots rightfully have their own section too with 35+ titles on offer with mainly Mega Moolah and Wowpot titles well represented. Pragmatic Play’s Drops and Wins games has its own category also. You can search for your favourite games by name via the search function, which works really well and you can search by provider if you’re looking for live casino games, but not when it comes to slot games which isn’t the end of the world.
There are a host of live casino options which do complement their slots catalogue really well. Within the live casino tab from the homepage you will find a wide range of Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat. Other live table games include Sic Bo and Hold em. These games are generally provided here by Pragmatic Play and Evolution but other providers include Authentic Gaming and Onair Entertainment. I do like the fact that game shows are separated under their own category making it easier to navigate to these increasingly popular titles. Crazy Time, Boom City and recently released Crazy Balls are at your disposal.
In addition there are a good variety of video table games. Also under the category crash and others you will find instant win scratchcards, crash games and Plinko. Unfortunately there were no Bingo or Slingo games available at the time of writing but a great alternative is Mega Ball via the Live Casino section. It is a similar fun game and well worth checking out.
It really is great when casinos deliver on different user platforms and NY Spins absolutely meets all the criteria. If you want to take your play on the go, this casino is very much mobile and tablet friendly via a browser. It operates similarly to the desktop version, just slightly more condensed and again being very easy to navigate around. Unfortunately at the time of writing there isn’t an app available but to be honest NY Spins runs fantastically without one.
NY Spins competitive welcome offer and their ongoing loyalty bonuses both mentioned early are both great promotions to start with. Pragmatic Play Drops and Wins and Playson non stop drop run alongside these.
Other promotions here tend to be account specific and you can see if you have any exclusive promotions via your inbox as you become a more established player.
NY Spins has live chat support available 24/7 and it’s only available to registered users that have made their first deposit. Chat support is under Help within the account area of the homepage. You can also email them any queries you may have.
I really enjoyed my trip to The Big Apple by means of NY Spins. Where else can you play your favourite casino games and unlock pieces of New York in the process! This is a distinctive casino with a unique loyalty bonus with a theme that grabs your attention. The usability of this platform is also a big factor when playing here. It’s appealing on the eye, very neat and tidy, simple to navigate around and possesses a great games library. With no wagering requirements on the free spins when signing up you won’t go far wrong if you decide to give them go.
NY Spins has documentation on safer gambling tools including loss limits, wagering limits and session limits as well as the mandated deposit limits, reality check, time out and self exclusion. There’s also links to outside sources of help and advice plus information on how to limit the number of gambling ads you see.
