Jackpot Party Casino Review

Important: Jackpot Party only accepts UK players right now

Jackpot Party Casino Reviewed by Simmo! on Nov 09, 2011: Original land-based slot games now online WMS are well-known for their land-based slots and the Jackpot Party casino is owned and operated by themselves. It has a very good range of games like Wizard Of Oz, Star Trek and Zeus among others, all with the Jackpot Party progressive jackpots. Rating: 4.5

Jackpot Party Casino: WMS Gaming may not be a particularly well-known brand in the UK, but that is the territory where WMS decided to first launch their Jackpot Party casino brand to the online public. Fans of Vegas and AC slot games will know the name immediately as WMS compete with IGT for floor space at most of the big casinos.

Slot games like Zeus, Palace Of Riches and Wizard Of Oz are hugely popular slot games in Bricks and Mortar (B&M) casinos and all of those are online at Jackpot Party. The Hot Hot Super Respin slots series, Hot Hot Penny and Spinning Streak concepts all developed by WMS are all represented at Jackpot Party by the likes of games such as Griffin's Gate, Blue Lagoon and John Wayne respectively, along with Cascading Reels games such as Invaders from the Planet Moolah. Other familar and popular slots include Bruce Lee, Crystal Forest, Black Knight and of course, a Jackpot Party slot. More information and videos of each WMS game can be found on the WMS Slots website (along with an alternative review of Jackpot Party casino).

Aside from slot games, tere are of course a number of table games and video pokers as you would expect from any online casino. But you don't really come to the jackpot Party casino to play table games - they are at best, average and lifted from realtime Gaming's suite of games. They aren't a patch on the games at any of the other casinos on Top Choice - somewhere like 32Red casino offers arguably the best selection and makes these look pretty amateur by comparison. Face it, you are at Jackpot Party for the slot games!

The Jackpot Party name is actually taken from WMS's most famous brand. Their are several variants of the Jackpot Party slots in B&M casinos and the Super Jackpot Party game is also online in the casino. The main difference between the online games and the B&M games is the presence of a 4-tier progressive jackpot called the "Jackpot Party progressive" on every game, randomly triggered. You can win any of the 4 awards at any bet size although the bigger the bet, the better your chances. The top jackpot, as I write this review, is standing at just over Ł30,000. It hasn't been won in the 10 months since Jackpot Party casino went live!

As far as the service side of things goeas there is god and bad to report. On the negative side I was disappointed to note that there is a "reversse pending" time of up to 24 hours. You could spin it to say that cashouts are processed every 24 hours which is par for the course at online casinos, but to still be able to "reverse" a withdrawal and play with it is not good news for vulnerable gamblers. Cashouts are processed around lunchtime (UK time) every day.

Customer service at Jackpot Party is good. Responses are quick and they seem pretty knowledgable and being fair, I have only needed them in "real time" over my multiple sessions once - and that was only to ask a relatively simple question about bonuses. While doing this Jackpot Party review I contacted them with something a bit more in-depth and got a prompt answer that firstly said they were investigating it, then about an hour later I got the answer I was looking for. Pretty good overall. Professional anyway.

When it comes to winning on the Jackpot Party slot machines then that requires some good bankroll management! Many of the games are high volatility and often you need the bonus features to walk away with a profit. There are some low volatility games like Goldfish and one of my favourites, Egyptian Experience. Even the original Star Trek game in fact. But games like Zeus, Palace of Riches, Black Knight and in particular, Bruce Lee or Fortunes of the Caribbean are dangerous games! Great games - just "all or nothing". My advice: play carefully, cashout when you are ahead and don't be tempted to reverse!

Conclusion: My overall opinion of Jackpot Party casino is good, backed up by the fact that I have been playing there every month since it was launched. I haven't won that many times but that's partly because I find the slots so entertaining that I end up playing for longer than I should after hitting something decent! The ability to reverse a withdrawal means I have had to set low deposit limits to keep a lid on how much I play so Jackpot Party is more of a "passtime" than a serious casino for me but for slot fans, it definitely comes recommended.
