Online Casinos & Online Slots

Welcome to Online Casino Slot Machines [.co.uk]. This site focuses on the best online slots and online casinos with reviews and information that hopefully will assist you in making the right decision as to where to play, and what to play. Please use the navigation menu to the right where you fill find lots of categories under which all pages and articles are filed. Every slot machine reviewed on the site is available to play online, although a lot will depend on which country you will reside in.

Oh my word! For those of you already familiar with one of the greatest online slot machines to be designed in recent times, you might be interested to know that the excellent King Kong slot has now been made available to play online at Virgin casino. Previously it’s only been available at Intercasino and it got some serious acclaim - not least from me! - when it was first released in 2009. So what’s the fuss about? I’ll tell you! But first I have to apollogetically state that no USA players can play this slot. Sorry - it’s a legal thing.

The King Kong slot is all about the free spins! yeah, yeah…every slot machine has those now right? But how many give you up to 150 free spins and to top that off, allows retriggers! And it gets better. When you get a retrigger, it gives you the same again - so if you hit the 150 free spins and you get a retrigger - bingo - another 150 free spins. More…»

The latest addition to the stable of Wagerworks casinos (IGT) is from the Grand Casino group, a subsiduary of Rank Interactive who also run Blue Square and Mecca Bingo. Grand Casino is an established brand in land-based casinos in the UK, and has been re-branded as GC Casino online to avoid any confusion with similarly named properties one assumes.

Grand casino also has a Poker offering alongside some more unsual games like Rubiks, Bejeweled and the like if that’s your cup of tea. Not mine but I know these games have quite a decent following.

I have added a neat new feature to the Online Casinos & Slot Machines [.co.uk] site - a Slot Winners Slideshow! This is a slideshow (surprise, surprise!) of a stack of screenshots I have taken down the years of some big wins on online slot machines.

You can either manually move slide by slide through the show, or  let the slideshow take you on a tour, showing a new winning screenshot every 30 seconds or so complete with a commentary from me.

Check it out: Winners: Slideshow

The slideshow includes big wins from games on the Microgaming, Playtech, Wagerworks, Cryptologic and RTG casino software platforms, including classic online slots like “Thunderstruck“, “Gladiator”, “Hellboy”, “Cleopatra“, “Wolf Run” and (as they say in adverts for rubbish CD compilations) many more! Check out the 5 Scatter screenshots on the Gladiator, Thunderstruck and Spring Break slots along with a 5 Wilds hit on the classic Tombraider slot!

Got a winning screenshot you would like to see included? If you have any winning slots screenshots (from real play and over 100x payout please), email them to me at webmaster [@] onlinecasinoslotmachines.co.uk and tell me your name/nickname and I’ll add them with a credit to you.

Perhaps a little surprisingly, SEGA have launched an online casino using the popular Playtech casino software platform this month. First impressions are that SEGA casino is going to be right up there with Bet365 IMO. I have played there to test it out and with a few minor glitches, overall I was impressed. No reverse pending period, cashouts to Neteller inside 12 hours (after being verified of course) and very friendly Live Chat. I have played and conducted a full SEGA Casino review over at OCUK and rather than post it in dulicate here on Online Casinos & Slot Machines [.co.uk], I suggest you head on over there if you want more details.

SEGA casino has a few unique slots too, themed on popular SEGA titles like “Nights” and “Virtua Street Fighter” among others. My favourite slot, “Gladiator“, is present at SEGA however for some reason isn’t activated yet - probably a licensing issue but I’m told it’s due soon. The Marvel slots too are yet to arrive, but every other game is there and “Nights” is an excellent replacement for Gladiator with an extra scatter in the free spins. Definitely one of the better online slots I have encountered.

Check out SEGA casino and the £2,010 (200%) casino bonus with a not unreasonable 20x D&B playthru requirement. Also, look out for Grand Casino (IGT) also launching in this month.

An interesting new online slot machine arrived at Virgin casino last week. IGT’s popular Treasures Of Troy slot game, using the patented Multiway system has gone live. For those unfamiliar with this slot machine, it’s unusual in a couple of ways. It retains the tried and trusted free spins bonus (10 - 20 games at 2x) but the look and feel of the Treasures Of Troy slot machine is not like anything else.

For a start, Treasures of Troy has 4 symbols per reel (20 panels) and what’s more, each of the 20 symbol positions is a reel in itself! So effectively it’s a 20 reel slot in More…»

Many of you who regularly frequent the bookies in our High streets around the UK will already be familiar with the Reel King fruit machine from Barcrest. But you may not yet be aware that an online version of Reel King has been released - one that you can play for real money - at Sky Vegas. More…»

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I came across a number of slot games on the floor at Encore and Wynn that can now also be found online. I knew that there was a crossover because of IGT’s link to Wagerworks, the online casino software provider whom IGT (UK) bought a while back, but it was interesting to see which online slots crossed the divide from land-based - and which probably should!

Pretty much all of the online slots mentioned in this article can be played online although in the majority of instances, not by players living in North America. However the Slot Junkies video site has video demos of all of these slots which not only show the games in action, but also feature the bonus rounds.

The obvious online slots that have their roots in land-based are the very popular “Cleopatra” and “Wolf Run” games, both made by IGT. You can play a free version of both games at Online Casinos Vegas and they are available at several online casinos. It was no surprise to also find “Cleopatra II” in both locations also, a game that I now marginally prefer to the originial, helped by a very decent win I had in the Encore I might add! You are probably already aware that each of these slots has a free spins bonus so I’ll avoid going into detail, but these are three very popular slot games. Cleo and Wolf Run are also common in UK casinos as it happens - i have played them in Rendezvous (Brighton), the recently closed-down Paddington Casino (Ladbrokes, London) and The Empire in Leicester Square.

Following on from my initial Gladiator slot review, this video is a better way to see this game in action. It is part of a suite of slot videos from Slot Junkies and shows both bonus rounds in action. The Gladiator bonus is pretty standard stuff, but the Colisseum free spins are excellent. If you want more information on this slot then check out the Gladiator Slots site which is a website dedicated to Playtech’s Gladiator and has information on the game, where to play it and a winners screenshot gallery demonstrating some big wins.

A new website has bought together a number of popular UK fruit machines under one roof that punters can play online for free, with no registration required. The fruit machines site contains (as I write) 16 different fruities, some of which will be well known to UK pub-goers and include offerings from Barcrest, Bell Fruit, Astra and IGT.

One notable difference between the fruit machines in their online format is the expected return - or payout percentage. Where you will be luck to find anything over 85% in land based amusement arcades and bookmakers, the online equivalents all have a theoretical return between 93% and 95%.

New games on the site include seaside favourites Bar X 5 and Bar X Magic 7, simple fruit machines More…»

Deciding where to play online slots will have a lot to do with where you live. Most online casinos use one of a handful of software providers, and some of these will not allow players from certain countries. Most notably, players from the USA are very limited on choice.

What I have tried to do below is break down each software provider, pointing out which casinos are available on that platform and which countries can play there. I’ve also included a brief commentary on the online slots that each casino platfrom provides to try and help you decide which slot games are best for you. More…»
