Mr Vegas Review

At Mr Vegas there are literally thousands of slot and casino games to choose from, plus a schedule of Encores (in which you play slots against other players)

Mr Vegas is on the same platform as Videoslots and this explains why they are able to offer so many different games (more than 4000 altogether, although this total probably includes some games that are available internationally but not to UK players). Even with this enormous number of games, there are a few providers with little or no representation – we couldn’t find any games by IGT and only one by Playtech. There’s pretty well everything else you could possibly want though.

It’s not just the enormous range of games that makes Mr Vegas different, however. There’s the Encores, and the unusual approach to wagering requirements.

You need to complete the wagering requirement BEFORE receiving the bonus, but not all in one go – it is released 10% at a time, so you can use the earlier instalments towards wagering for the later instalments.
The rate at which a game contributes to the wagering requirement is tied to its RTP. 96% RTP is the baseline and all games with precisely that RTP contribute 100% to wagering requirements. When the RTP is higher the contribution is lower, and when the RTP is lower the contribution is higher – it changes by 0.25% for each 0.01% the RTP is away from 96%. There’s a contribution ceiling of 175% and a contribution floor of 25%.
For example, if your bonus is £100 and you play Bonanza which has RTP of 96%, your wagering requirement is a straightforward 35x bonus, so £3500. But if you play Big Bass Bonanza Megaways which has RTP of 94.6%, that’s 1.4% away. The contribution changes by 0.25% x 140 = 35%, so your play contributes at 135% towards the wagering requirement and instead of having to play through £3500, you only have to play through £2593.
What happens if you want to play a high RTP slot like 1429 Uncharted Seas (which many online casinos won’t let you play at all with an active bonus)? It has RTP of 98.6% which is 2.6% away from 96%. The contribution changes by o.25% x 260 = 65%, so your play contributes at 35% to the wagering requirement and you now have to play through £10,000 to fill it.

This refreshingly different approach means players can play almost any game they like with bonus. If a player tries to play one of the few games that can’t be played with a bonus active, they will get a warning pop-up (same as if they try to stake too much), so it’s not possible to break the rules by accident.

Back to the other thing that makes Mr Vegas (and sister site Videoslots) so different – the Encores. These are multiplayer slot tournaments, with a lobby and chatroom, with cash, free spins and tournament entry vouchers to be won. If you think other sites run a lot of tournaments, think again! There’s always multiple Encores available to join (but be aware that you can’t participate with an active bonus).

All in all, Mr Vegas is a slot enthusiast’s dream and a very far cry from the lacklustre skin sites that ar so prevalent these days.
