Spin Rio was launched in Spring 2021 with Latin American theming; it’s one of several Aspire sites from the operator behind the very popular Mr Play.

About Spin Rio

Spin Rio is named after Rio de Janeiro, a major city in Brazil which is the home to Copacabana beach, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain. My first impression when clicking our link to this casino was observing Rich Wilde the character from the classic slot game Book of Dead exchanging his book for a cocktail on Copacabana beach. He didn’t seem dressed for the occasion. Hopefully that cocktail cooled him down a little. Jokes aside, Spin Rio’s Brazilian theme is somewhat attractive, capturing the essence of Rio and that Samba vibe.

Their website’s initial appearance has a white background with a light blue side bar with links to your account, games on offer, promotions, live support and a help center. It is colourful but easy on the eye, with a small scrolling bar at the top using a Toucan a native bird of South America plugging their latest promotions.

Spin Rio launched in 2021 by Aspire Global International and is operated in Great Britain by AG Communications Limited. Primarily Slots, this casino delivers over 700+ games from some of the most popular providers including Pragmatic Play, Play’n Go and Red Tiger to highlight a few. Aspire Global additionally operates 40+ sister sites and is highly established within the gaming sector.

It also prides itself on great customer support operating a mantra of C.A.R.E which stands for “customers are really everything” with live chat available 16 hours per day 8am to 1am.

Getting Started

Registration at Spin Rio is a straightforward process taking no more than a few minutes. Once signed up you will need to opt into the welcome offer when prompted. There are also options to set deposit limits and reality checks before you begin your player experience. You can deposit using a variety of methods including PayPal, Trustly and Skrill. Also Spin Rio will send you an email asking you to verify your email address before you play.

Lastly you could be asked to verify your account by uploading the necessary documents via the document uploader within your account. Being required to provide ID is completely normal with Spin Rio practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.

Slot Games at Spin Rio

Now if you like slot games you’re undoubtedly in the right place here at Spin Rio as there is a fantastic range of choice here. Navigating your way around is very simple and user friendly like all Aspire sites.

Under the genre of Casino Games, slot games then get split into different categories starting with the featured section. Titles there include Primate King by Red Tiger and Wolf Gold by Pragmatic Play. Noticeably there are numerous new titles from a variety of providers within the (you guessed it) New section. The choice within this section is one of largest on offer with titles added weekly. Games include the really popular Le Pharaoh by Hawksaw gaming, Twister (based on the party game) by NetEnt and Stormcraft’s Immortal Romance 2. Drops and Wins get its own section too with over 50+ titles containing Big Bass Bonanza and Sweet Bonanza via Pragmatic Play. Last but not least Jackpot Slots are all under one roof with 50+ titles including Genie’s Jackpot and The Pig Wizard both by Blueprint.

There is a search function which is very prominent however, you are unable at the time of writing to search games by provider. This would be of great benefit to the player instead of scrolling through endless amounts of slot games looking for a slot title you can’t remember the name of. Furthermore, demo mode is available on most slot games once you have made your first deposit and is unavailable before that.

Other Games at Spin Rio

Alongside their creditable collection of slot games there is a range of good live casino options at Spin Rio. There is a whole area devoted to them which are then divided into game genres of Roulette, Blackjack, Gameshows, Baccarat & Sic Bo and Live Poker. Mainly provided by Evolution Gaming there is a good variety of the Roulette and Blackjack stables. However, I couldn’t help being slightly disappointed with the small assortment of Game shows considering there is so much choice around other games. On the plus side the popular and entertaining Crazy Time and Lighting Dice are available. I was also surprised to find a broad range of Baccarat games, in fact there are more of them than there are Gameshows. Lastly there is a Live Poker section which offers a few “carnival games” including Three Card Poker.

Disappointingly, Spin Rio doesn’t currently offer any bingo products at the time of writing. Be that as it may it does offer a choice of Slingo titles which include Starburst and Fluffy Favorites Slingo which is a great alternative. Furthermore, there are a handful of classic video casino options of Blackjack, Roulette and Scratchcards which you can locate using the search bar.

Other Things to Consider

Spin Rio gets into the carnival spirit with a generous welcome offer when you make your first deposit. There are also offers on 2nd and 3rd deposits. Keeping the Carnival going their ongoing offers include a daily free spins frenzy and various themed related tournaments including Drops and Wins. Plus, keep an eye on your emails with tailored made personal promotions occasionally dropping in your inbox.

Spin Rio currently doesn’t provide a mobile app at the time of writing but you can certainly play via a mobile browser. Their Mobile site is pretty similar to the online version with an additional scratch card segment among a small mixture of games. The only thing I found frustrating is that the Live Casino section there is all lumped together whilst separated into genres online. Apart from that small niggle, navigating around is very simple and it certainly doesn’t affect your overall gaming experience.

There are a great choice of banking options at Spin Rio which include Paypal and Trustly. Depositing and withdrawing is uncomplicated with no added transaction fees which is a bonus.

Finally customer support at all Aspire Global casinos is of a good standard with Spin Rio no exception. Alongside a clear and up to date FAQ section, Live Chat is available 16 hours per day with the added option to email the casino if you have any further question or queries.

Final Thoughts

I truly liked the theme, appearance and tone with Spin Rio, supplying personality to its casino which sometimes can be a little lacking with some of its competitors. Both online and mobile browser versions are good on the eye and relatively easy to navigate with the mobile version slightly superior. It would further enhance the gaming experience here if you were able to search slots by game provider and more Game shows were available. However, this is not a deal breaker. If slots are your thing then Spin Rio is definitely an excellent choice offering top titles from top-notch providers with brand new games being added weekly. Their platform is solid and the game play is smooth. Their welcome offer, although with a win cap, offers fair wagering requirements alongside a number of free spins. Beside the added insurance of great customer support facilities from a reputable and established casino provider.
