AUSlots Casino Review

AUSlots won’t surprise you with its Aussie themed website that specifically
caters to the players from down under, but it also welcomes international
players as long as you’re not from the US, UK, or a handful of other locations.
More than 400 slot games from multiple software providers make up a good sized
casino that also has live dealer table action, but it’s the video poker area
that’s surprising with 72 varieties including some lesser known games.

The Breakdown

Overall

For the most part, this relatively new casino seems to have done everything
right. It has a unique theme and website layout but is still easy to use. There
are enough bonuses to keep those promotion-loving players happy enough, and the
pages of games go on and on. The mobile product is good, and there are e-wallet
options, and some additional service options like paysafecard and iDebit to
satisfy most players’ financial needs.

Game Variety

One of the best features of this site is the variety of games and not just
slot games. Table games, video poker, and live casino options are diverse and
plentiful. The only reason that it doesn’t get the full five-stars is that it
doesn’t offer some of the more traditional three-reel slot versions that some
die hard players specifically seek out.

Banking

Two key words here – full disclosure. We’re pretty harsh when i-Casinos don’t
put a nice comprehensive menu of deposit and withdrawal information front and
center for everyone to access, including potential players, as opposed to
keeping it under lock and key until an account is fully registered. Anyone
considering using the service should know his or her options first. On the flip
side, Mirage Corp has a known reputation for fast cash outs.

Bonuses

The bonuses are pretty middle of the road but this is a new site and service,
so we want to give it the benefit of the doubt and hope to see something fun and
unique pop up to provide some additional entertainment and cash out opportunity
for players. The welcome bonus of 100% is relatively standard and,
unfortunately, so is the 30 times rollover.

What changes the entire picture, though, is that if you accept a bonus, your
real cash deposit gets combined with it. Even if you’re lucky enough to satisfy
the rollover and come out ahead, you can’t cash out more than ten times your
deposit. They’re limiting the withdrawal of your own money.

Customer Service

Again, not a lot to go by yet since it’s a new service but it does offer both
an email option and a live chat that’s known to be quickly and efficiently
answered.

User Interface

The site is easy to use and transfers well to mobile devices. However, it’s a
bit frustrating to have to keep clicking a button for more games to be revealed
and, that particular button can sometimes overlap with the live chat access
button unless you scroll up a bit on your computer.

Overview of AUSlots.com

The Newest Addition to the Family of Three

AUSlots is owned by the Mirage Corp N.V. based in Curaçao (no relation to the
Mirage Casino in Las Vegas). The company launched its first i-Casino,
LuckyStar.io, in 2015 followed by SpaceLilly.com the following year, and now
AUSlots takes center stage. The
licensing for all three is provided by the Curaçao Gaming Commission.
LuckyStar and SpaceLilly have received decent reviews across the board,
especially regarding timely payouts for players.

Aussie-Themed Through and Through

A surfboarding kangaroo and a casino party on the beach, these are just a few
of the cartoon graphics that comprise this Australian-themed website. Whether
you’re scrolling through the game selections or reviewing bonus options, you’re
treated to some fun images and descriptions that never deviate from the down
under premise.

No Worries, Mate, There Is Something for Everyone

There may not be a sportsbook or poker room, but the casino is overflowing
with gaming options. Typical sites are slot-heavy and that’s where the majority
of their focus lies. AUSlots does have plenty of those reels to spin, but there
are also over 100 table games and 72 video poker varieties, so you don’t need to
head to the slot banks to be treated to plenty of choices.

Details Matter

Aside from the little Aussie-related design touches, there are a few other
details that enhance the user experience, including the reference to pokies. The homepage has a
scrolling marquee, but it doesn’t promote the winners, it showcases new things
happening for its players. There are announcements of new games and additional
payment methods that we think are a nice touch. If you don’t look at deposit
options every day or have the 408 slot titles committed to memory, some new
additions would certainly be unnoticed.

Those announcements also convert to full blog posts and there’s a handy blog
menu right at the top of the site.

Another thing we noted, that seems to now be the trend with new i-Casinos, is
the promotion of the game providers right on the homepage. Some of the veterans
also include this information but not nearly as many as today’s new additions. A
lot of sites like AUSlots now utilize several software companies so they feel
that it’s a benefit that players or potential players should recognize.

Bonuses and Promotions

We didn’t find any one-off promotions like contests or tournaments, but it’s
still early as AUSlots just opened its virtual doors a few months ago. It does,
however, offer a choice of two welcome bonuses and some ongoing promotions for
loyal players.

100% Welcome Bonus – Option #1

The Classic Pokies Welcome Offer is a standard deposit match offer that will
provide as much as a $150 award. The minimum deposit needed to take advantage of
this or the other welcome bonus option is $20. Unfortunately, AUSlots has the
unwelcome rollover requirement of 30 times the deposit and bonus combined. It
also has a $7.50 per bet limit using bonus cash.

Low-Wagering Cashback Welcome Bonus – Option #2

This is a welcome offer that new players can select as opposed to the 100%
deposit match and if activated, it’s triggered by losing the initial player’s
account deposit. The way that it works is if you lose your first time out in the
casino or live casino, you can get 20% of your casino losses back (up to $200)
in a cash back style bonus. For live casino play, it’s 10% up to $100. There is
a play through requirement on the refund but it’s only listed as two-times as
opposed to 30. This is for your first time out though. It’s not an extended
offer.

Weekly Free Loyalty Rewards

AUSlots wants players to keep coming back time and again so this loyalty
reward and the reload bonus, that we’ll get to next, is specifically for return
players who deposit and wager regularly. This reward is a free gift that is
emailed to qualifying players from the customer support department on Mondays.
If you register and have been logging in and making some bets somewhat
consistently, you should be receiving your weekly surprise… TBD.

Reload Bonuses

This one rewards players for depositing over and over… and over again. The
players that reload their account daily are the ones that reap the most benefit.
Hmmm, is that really an advantage though if you’re transferring money into your
betting account consistently? In any case, the first reload of the week is
rewarded with 10% bonus match up to $150 as well as ten wager-free Free Spins on
one of the pokies. The second deposit in a week increases the free spins to 15.
The 10% match up to $150 remains the same throughout, but the free spins
continue to increase to 100 if you’re “lucky enough” to reload your account
seven days in a row. The wagering requirement for this reload bonus is reduced
slightly to 25 times.

Reload Bonus Free Spin Eligibility

You must be a resident of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, or Switzerland to
participate.

If you’re new to online casino gambling, be sure to read through the terms
and conditions for any bonus program you’re interested in accepting. Rollovers
can be difficult to satisfy and, on AUSlots.com, only slot games contribute to
the requirement. If you are a table game player, you still need to hop on a slot
machine and bet until your wagering obligation is met. Table games don’t provide
any rollover assistance, but slot games add up at 100% of the amount you stake.

We also want to mention that, if you opt to accept a bonus, your overall
winnings are restricted. You can only withdraw up to ten times your original
deposit when you come out ahead after complying with the rollover. Think about
that, you deposited your own money, you accepted a bonus, you complied with all
of the wagering requirements, and yet you’re still limited on how much you can
win. Any additional winning credits above and beyond the 10X your deposit amount
are forfeited.

Banking Options

Just as we’ve noticed a trend of i-Casinos promoting their game providers, we
also noticed that most are not providing a good detailed list of banking methods
including deposit and withdrawal options, fees, turnaround times, and maximum
limits.

We’re not sure why these things are such a well-kept secret as it detracts
from an otherwise good service. Anyone considering registering and funding a
player’s account wants to know how they can do it and what’s involved. There are
some logos at the bottom of the homepage so we can speculate on some things, but
banking varies per region so each method may not be available to all customers.

Now that we got on our soap box and proclaimed frustration in this area,
here’s what we pieced together about banking transfers with AUSlots that you may
find helpful.

The Options:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Skrill
• Neteller
• ecoPayz
• Paysafecard
• iDebit
• instaDebit

iDebit and instaDebit don’t have logos included with the rest, but the handy scrolling marquee
announced that they’d been recently added to the list of payment alternatives.

In the Terms and Conditions section, it does state that deposits may incur
fees and it will depend on the method chosen, so that’s something to be aware of
and keep in mind as well.

Withdrawals:

• Minimum Withdrawal – 20
• Maximum Weekly Withdrawal – $3,000
• Maximum Monthly Withdrawal – $6,000
• Processing Time – internal processing time is two days then additional time
  depends on the financial provider
• E-wallets – additional 24 hours
• Credit Cards – additional two to four business days
• Bank Wires – additional three to seven business days

The Casino

You’re going to find a slightly different gaming selection depending on your
geographic location. Some regions don’t allow for NetEnt games, and others are
excluded from the Universal Monsters collection that includes Frankenstein, the
Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, the Creature from the
Black Lagoon, and The Invisible Man.

Monsters aside, you should still find a vast array of slot games for all
kinds of tastes and gaming preferences.

AUSlots offers both a casino and live casino but does not have sports
betting, horse racing, or a poker room on the site.

Game Variety

Video Slots comprise the biggest section of the casino, but you should be
impressed with over 100 table games and 72 video poker machines. There is some
overlap in games as some of the providers offer similar ones, but there are so
many themes and tables and types of poker that there isn’t much missing aside
from the traditional three-reel slot versions.

Audio and Video Quality

As far as the games, the quality is good. The software is current and
features the latest in technology. There is a bit of a lag time in unveiling the
games though. It could be attributed to a large number of selections, but you
also have to click a button to reveal more and more of the titles as only 28
open up at a time.

Mobile Casino

AUSlots does an above average job of making the majority of the slot and
table games available on smartphones and tablets. The odd thing is that, out of
72 video poker machines, only three translate to mobile format.

Video Slots – 408 (322 on mobile)

You’re not going to find a classic slots section or even a breakdown of three
reels and five reel games. AUSlots is a video slot casino so there’s a video
slot section and a jackpot section and that’s the extent of the one-armed
bandits.

The software is provided by Pragmaticplay, Onetouch, Isoftbet, NetEnt,
Gameart, QuickSpin, BetSoft, and Xplosive.

The four games noted to be player favorites are:

• Starburst
• Fruit Shop
• Blood Suckers
• Dead or Alive

Other Titles:

• Mega Joker
• Lucky Angler
• Pin Up Girls
• Hockey League Wild Match
• Nacho Libre
• Romeo and Juliet
• Platoon Wild
• Frankenstein
• Creature from the Black Lagoon
• The Tipsy Tourist
• 2 Million B.C.
• Beverly Hills 90210
• The Love Guru
• Paranormal Activity

Jackpot Slots – 46 (31 on mobile)

You’re not going to find the huge millionaire making titles provided by
companies like Microgaming, but there are still quite a few bigger money
potential games.

• Slots Angels
• The Olympic Slots
• Jackpot Rango
• Basic Instinct
• Super Multitimes Progressive HD
• Platoon Reels
• Good Girl Bad Girl

Table Games – 115 (23 on mobile)

Over 100 table games are quite an impressive collection. Again, it’s the use
of multiple providers that allow for such big numbers, so you will see some
games like Blackjack offered in a few similar versions.

The casino just added a new Baccarat game, actually three new games as it’s
offered in Low, Mid, and High limits.

Other Tables:

• Multihand Blackjack
• Roulette Crystal
• Zoom Roulette
• Caribbean Stud
• Red Dog Progressive
• Casino High Low
• Baccarat
• Casino War
• Atlantic City Blackjack (Low, Mid, High)
• Keno
• Casino Hold ’em Poker
• Punto Banco
• Stud Poker

Video Poker – 72 (three on mobile)

72 is a huge number of video poker games, especially since most of them are
unique to each other. It’s quite odd that there are only three available in the
mobile casino but it may be something that this relatively new provider is
working to build.

• All American Double Up
• 100 Hand All American
• Bonus Deuces
• Double Joker Poker
• Split Way Royal
• Poker Pursuit
• Joker Poker Wheel
• Joker Poker Big Beer
• 50x Poker Play
• 4x Joker Vegas
• 100x Play

Virtual Games – Three

• Poker 3 Heads Up Hold ’em
• Stud Poker 3D
• Virtual Racebook 3D

Scratchcards – Two

• Triple Wins Star Ticket
• Skratcherz

Virtual Sports – 10

If you’re curious about virtual sports and want to see them up close, AUSlots
provides a ten-sport virtual area. Your eyes may fool you at first as it looks
like the real thing with its advertised “live broadcasts,” but these are
simulated sports with random outcomes that are based on real stats.

You can place a bet on any of the continuously running events:

• Horse Racing
• Greyhound Racing
• Harness Racing
• Football
• Motor Sports
• Race Circuit
• Cycling
• Badminton
• Archery
• Ping Pong

Live Casino

Five different live casino areas with multiple tables in each (14 mobile
games)

AUSlots took live casino providers Evolution, Ezugi, and NetEnt and gave them
each their own live casino within the live casino. Yes. We meant to say that.
You click on a section, and then new tables open up.

• Evolution – Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker
• Ezugi – Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette
• Ezugi Live – Europe – Automatic Roulette
• NetEnt – European Roulette, French Roulette, Blackjack
• Ezugi Live – East Europe – Blackjack, Roulette, Casino Hold ’em

Customer Support

• 24/7 Live Chat
• Email – [email protected]

The one consistent comment we found from players is that customer service
inquiries are responded to very quickly.

Summary

Aside from the Aussie themed website, it’s hard to put your finger on what
stands out about this particular casino but it just seems to work. It’s designed
a bit differently, so you feel like you’re getting a new casino experience and
there certainly are plenty of games to keep you busy for quite awhile.

The bonuses aren’t really all that different from many of its competitors and, from
what we can tell anyway, financial options are fairly standard as well. All that
being said, we still think there’s something special about it, and recommend
that you take a look for yourself.

We do need to add that, despite the massive number of games that are already
live, the site still seems to be in its initial launch phase. There are some
minor misspellings and some references to LuckyStar.io, its sister site. Just a
little cleanup work is needed to bring it all up to speed.

Verdict

Whether you’re a slot, table game, or video poker player, there’s a lot for
you to take in on AUSlots.com and, except for video poker, the majority of games
are ready and waiting for you on your mobile device as well. The service is
straightforward. There isn’t a confusing concept to decipher or drawn out
complicated contests to entice new players or retain current ones. It’s just a
good all around casino website that has enough bonus programs to satisfy, but
not too many to overwhelm or detract from the main event which is the gaming
itself.
