Fabulous Vegas is part of News Group Newspapers Limited, which owns The Sun and has released a few other gambling sites in the past. It also published The News of the World—the less said about that the better. It’s a simply designed online casino with a few hundred games and some interesting bonuses. Check out the following Fabulous Vegas review to learn more.

Welcome Bonus

Open a Fabulous Vegas account and deposit at least £10 to get a 100% matched return and 50 free spins. There’s a cap of £100 on this bonus so whatever amount you deposit up to £100 will be doubled, and all amounts above that will unlock the maximum bonus.

The wagering requirement is just 30x and the free spins have a value of 10p. So far so good, but there are a couple of terms to look out for.

Firstly, this bonus is only available to players who deposit using a debit card. You can use PayPal on Fabulous Vegas and other payment options are accepted too but using them for your initial deposit will invalidate the bonus. What’s more, as you’ll no longer be a new player making a first-time deposit, you can’t simply try again with a debit card.

You can, of course, just use a debit card for your first deposit, collect your bonus, and then switch to PayPal for all subsequent deposits.

You’re very limited with regards to the games you can play during the wagering period. There are just a dozen or so applicable titles, and while there are some very interesting slots in the mix (including Football Cash Collect, Big Bass Splash, The Walking Dead, and Leprechaun’s Luck: Cash Collect) it’s a little frustrating.

Other Promotions

If you have deposited and wagered at least £10 in the last 30 days, you can spin a prize wheel every day. There’s up to £50 in cash up for grabs and the wheel is available daily after midday.

This is just one of several regular offers available to active Fabulous Vegas members. There are other prize wheel promotions, as well as chances to collect free spins and golden chips, the latter of which are like free spins for live table games. Prize draws are plentiful too, and these often require you to stake a minimum amount of money on the site to earn your entry.

Slots, Slingo, and Live Casino Games

Most of the games on Fabulous Vegas seem to come from Playtech, Blueprint Gaming, and NetEnt, but there are other developers in the mix. Fortunately, these are three of the most creative developers around and two personal favourites of mine. It means that you’ll find a glut of classic titles like Fluffy Favourites and Eye of Horus, as well as the Blueprint Jackpot King system and the Playtech Age of the Gods jackpots.

I couldn’t find Kingdoms Rise here, which is a shame. The Playtech series doesn’t seem to be as widespread on UK casinos as Age of the Gods, but it’s arguably a bigger, better, and more ambitious project. Generally speaking, the Fabulous Vegas casino is limited in size, so it seems to have cherry-picked the most popular titles.

It is updated on a regular basis though, and there’s also a separate section for Slingo games, if that’s more your sort of thing. I have to commend the developers for adding theme-based categories to the site as well. I’m always complaining about casinos not using many categories or filters, and Fabulous Vegas does a good job in that department. It’s just a shame there are not many games to add to those categories.

The Fabulous Vegas live casino is modest too, featuring a handful of live table games and live game shows, including at least one exclusive title.

Verdict: Fabulous Vegas Review

Fabulous Vegas is a good site, but it’s very compact. I like the design and I like the choice of developers and games, but I feel like it needs a lot more games. Many non-UK casinos are stacking their games rooms with over 4,000 titles and it is very rare to see anything less than 1,000. In the UK, we seem to be stuck in the past and are only offering a few hundred titles.

I know there are licensing issues and I am sure there are other reasons too, but I like big games rooms. I like to browse endless categories and scroll through thumbnails to find something that stands out. I can’t really do that here. I also don’t like the fact that PayPal users are excluded from the welcome bonus. It’s infuriating for me on a personal level as I always use PayPal to deposit, but it’s also a frustrating term to see in general, as I know there are a lot of players who don’t use debit cards.

These two issues aside, Fabulous Vegas is a very good site and if that welcome bonus catches your eye and you’re okay using a debit card, it’s worth checking out.
