If’ you’ve previously heard of PokerStars, you probably think of it as a specialist poker site rather than a slots site. If that’s the case, a pleasant surprise awaits you in the form of the PokerStars Casino!

PokerStars feature quite a few of their own Stars Studio slots (complete with a substantial progressive jackpot) if you fancy a complete change from the usual fare. Don’t worry if you don’t though, there’s also a great selection of perennial favourites from the usual suspects including Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, Starburst, Fishin’ Frenzy, Bonanza, Dragon’s Luck Megaways, Triple Da Vinci Diamonds and Eastern Emeralds. Although it’s by no means the biggest selection available, the emphasis is very much on quality. PokerStars also have arguably one of the best live casino sections out there – if you happen to be a fan of the more off-the-wall live casino games like Mega Ball, Crazy Time, Skywind’s Jokers Wheel, Vegas Ball Bonanza and Playtech Live Slots, that is.

PokerStars often has Slots Races running (as well as Live Casino Races). These typically last 60 minutes, 24 hours or 7 days and the prizes are cash or free spins. After opting in, players score points for multiplier wins on the featured slots within the time limit, regardless of stake size (but subject to a minimum stake).

The PokerStars approach to wagering requirements is interesting and more than a little complex. It’s tied to the loyalty scheme; alongside the reward points you collect as you play, you also collect redemption points. You need to collect a specified number of these per £1 of your deposit and bonus. The complicated part is that the rate at which you collect redemption points is tied to the Return To Player of the games you play; the higher the RTP, the more you need to wager per redemption point (please check the PokerStars website for an up to date conversion table or check the information panel for the game you want to play). You won’t need to worry about this too much when playing through the bonus from your welcome offer spins; the wagering requirements can only be discharged at 100% on the same games the spins are for so just pick the ones you enjoy playing. As you play through the bonus, you can check your progress any time to see how many more redemption points you need to collect.

There are many different deposit methods you can use at PokerStars but be aware that if you wish to claim the welcome offer, the only one you can use is plain old debit card.

Alongside the casino, there’s two other areas on PokerStars. One is – as you’d expect! – for poker, catering for everyone from complete beginners to elite pros, and the other is a fully featured sportsbook. About as far as you can get, then, from a run of the mill casino site and well worth a visit if you don’t already have an account there!
