About Online Slots UK

Online Slots UK is certainly not going to win any awards for its name or design.  It’s just one of around a dozen Jumpman sites all trying to tap into the demand for UK slot sites by hijacking the top spot on a Google search with an exact match name (and mostly not succeeding).  And there’s no theming to speak of apart from the red, white and blue of the Union flag.  Quite the reverse, in fact, of sister site Super Mega Fluffy Rainbow Vegas Jackpot Casino.

Online Slots UK does have a unique selling point though, and that’s the welcome offer.  After being one of the first Jumpman sites to trial a no deposit spins offer, Online Slots UK now has a straightforward deposit bonus offer instead of the usual game of chance for first time depositors, so you’re absolutely guaranteed to get a bonus on your first deposit and the bigger the deposit, the bigger the bonus (which is not the case with most Mega Reel offers).

The whole Online Slots UK site has been optimised for mobile play and this means that on a large screen, there’s empty areas at the sides.  Navigation is via a top menu (on a large screen) or a floating menu bar (on a small screen) and to reach the games lobby you need to choose the Home option from the menu (which is a bit counter intuitive) or hit the All Games button next to the featured games.

Bingo at Online Slots UK

Online Slots UK has a decent enough range of Pragmatic Play bingo rooms but (just as you’d expect from a site that is mainly focused on slot games) they don’t come with a chatroom, so there’s no sense of community.

You can choose from 90 ball bingo, 75 ball bingo, 80 ball bingo and 30 ball bingo, plus there are some Pragmatic Play specials in the form of the speed 90 ball game Bingo Blast, the Deal Or Deal-a-like Diamond Dazzle and the 50 ball Animingo.  You can buy tickets for most games up to a month in advance.

Pragmatic Play also run daily and weekly jackpot games with substantial prizes and most months, there is a special seasonal bingo room promotion of some kind.  That’s the extent of the bingo promotions though – Jumpman themselves don’t run any, and bingo play is cash only.

Games at Online Slots UK

Online Slots UK has the usual varied and frequently updated selection of slot games you’d expect to find at a Jumpman site but like other Jumpman brands run by Fortuna Gaming it has a slightly different lobby layout to most Jumpman sites.

The immediate difference you will spot is that there are no lobby tabs for Casino or Live and instead, there’s an extra tab called Hot Slots.  Why? – because this particular group of Jumpman sites have no live casino games whatsoever and are very much focused on slot games.

The knock on effect from this is that all of the groupings of games in the lobby tabs are slots (apart from one for Slingo) and that means that as well as groupings on game theme (Going for Gold, Tales of Egypt, Cosmic Adventure) and game features (Megaways) there’s room for a catch all grouping called Best Of The Rest. The View All link next to this grouping lets you see all of the 2700+ games on one page, which you normally can’t do at a Jumpman site.  They aren’t in any particular order though and there’s no way to sort or filter them so if you use this method for finding new games to play, be prepared to do lots of scrolling.

Progressive jackpot slots (which are for cash play only) are mainly by Eyecon and appear in their own lobby tab.

You know how I mentioned earlier that the site has been designed for easy mobile play?  That means that the lobby is pretty minimalist, to keep clutter off small screens. There’s no information about the games attached to the game tiles, so if you want to find out Return To Player, game features or even very basic things like jackpot size and who the game provider is, you need to load the game up.  You can’t find out or filter on any of this stuff in the search box either – being able to find games by searching depends very much on your knowing exactly what you’re looking for, although they do at least include partial matches in the search results for those fat fingers moments.

Also missing from the game tiles is any way to save games to your favourites.  Recently played games do show up at the top of the lobby when you’re logged in, but it would be nice to be able to mark game tiles as favourites without having to play them first (and remove games from the favourites lobby area if you played and didn’t like them!)

Other Things To Consider

The Offers page at Online Slots UK is not as well populated as it once was because Jumpman have closed their loyalty scheme (which was based on collecting trophies) and stopped advertising redeposit offers.  This doesn’t mean there aren’t any redeposit offers – you could still receive personalised offers to your inbox, and if you do they will most likely be based on the Mega Reel, which rewards you with slot spins (unless you’re unluky and get nothing). Even without redeposit offers there’s still plenty to entertain you on the Offers page including prize draws and promotions such as Drops & Wins that are run in partnership with games providers.

To contact customer support at Online Slots UK, you fill in a web form; the response is fairly quick during office hours Monday to Friday but disappointingly, if you need assistance outside of those times you could be waiting quite a while (days rather than hours). There’s no way to phone them.

Deposit methods are a strong point at Jumpman, with a good range to choose from including mobile phone billing (but there’s a fee for using that).  There are currently no restrictions on what deposit methods can be used to claim promotions.  You can even speed up registration by using your Paypal account to sign in!

Final Thoughts

If you can get over the dull name and basic theming, Online Slots UK gives you the opportunity to sample Jumpman’s offering with a welcome offer that provides a bit of certainty. If you like to play slots and a bit of bingo on your phone, it could be a good fit.
