As a site that’s dedicated to giving slot players an exceptional playing experience, Reel Island UK has it all in terms game choice and variety, and it features around 600 slot games by all the best developers, including Microgaming, NetEnt and many more. There are also great promotions every day of the week where you can pick rewards.

Number of Slot games:600 online slots
Type of games:3-reel classic slots, video slots, themed slots, progressive jackpot slots, blackjack, roulette,

With such a huge number of developers on board, it’s no surprise that you get outstanding gaming variety here. There are around 700 games all up, which includes 600 Reel Island slots in all categories by NetEnt, Microgaming, Thunderkick, Quickspin and others, so you have exceptional choice when it comes to game styles and themes.
Some of the well-known video and themed slots you can play include Vikings, Jack Hammer, Gonzo’s Quest and Immortal Romance, plus you can have a punt on big money progressive jackpot slots from a range of leading networks, including Mega Fortune, Mega Moolah and The Naked Gun.

There’s a good selection of table games on offer too, including several different varieties of blackjack and roulette, as well as table poker games, plus you can play scratch cards as well.

Live dealer games are a major feature here, and the Reel Island casino games you can play live include all the casino classics, as well as Dream Catcher, Football Studio and Dragon Tiger.

How to Deposit & Cash Out

Depositing

UK players have a number of banking options that can be used. These include PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard and Trustly, as well as wire transfer and debit cards. The minimum deposit amount is £10, and deposited funds are credited to your account and can be used immediately (with the exception of wire transfer, which can take up to 5 working days).

Cashing out

When you request a withdrawal, it will have pending status for up to 48 hours (you can cancel it during this time); once this time is up, your payment will be processed, which can take between 1-3 working days to complete, depending on the payment method you use. The minimum withdrawal amount is £20 which is higher than many other slot sites at the moment, but there are no fees charged.

The range of available payment methods here gives UK players more banking options than at many other comparable sites, and so most should be able to find a convenient one to use.

Community & Customer Service

Community

Reel Island has a Facebook page (@reelisland), but this has fallen into disuse and there haven’t been any posts for some time. Prior to this, they were active on the page quite frequently, where they shared a variety of entertaining and informative posts. There are, however, no Twitter or Instagram pages, and the YouTube channel only has a single video, posted some time ago.

The absence of social media is a shame, as there are no real opportunities on the site to create a playing community or engage, so this is certainly an area in which they could be doing more for their players.

Customer Service

This is a site with a limited selection when it comes to customer contact. However you can contact the team 24/7 via live chat or email at [email protected].

Take Reel Island with You

The same range of games is available at the Reel Island mobile site as when you play on a desktop or laptop, so it’s great to have access to so many top-quality games on your phone or tablet when you are out and about. The overall design and UI of the site is functional without being spectacular, but it is always easy to use, and games adapt well to the smaller screens of mobiles and tablets. Overall, the playing experience is on a par with that you get on other platforms.

You can play mobile slots without having to download and install a Reel Island Casino app, as the games here are all browser based. The advantage of this is that you can play on all types of device, including Apple iPhone and iPad, and Android smartphones and tablets.

Our Take on Reel Island

This is a site where it is really all about the games, as there is nothing too much to write home about when it comes to the design and overall look of the site. For some players, this will be important, while for others it won’t be an issue, because if the games are up to scratch, that’s all that matters — and the latter is undoubtedly the case here. With around 600 slots by the best names in the business, you’re spoilt for choice in terms of game styles and themes, and for us, in the end, this is the best feature of this site.

Given all of this, our final Reel Island review score is 4½ stars out of 5.

Terrible experience at Reel Island. Happy to take your money and spam bonuses. Complete nightmare if you win. Avoid!

I won £480 from my first deposit of £10 and the money is winging its way to me after waiting on ID verification being excepted. I cannot fault the site or their customer service.

I thought this site was really great for playing Starburst at, love this slot :) . I really like the reel spinning around at the top of the site and they've got scratch cards and bingo on this site too. Defo worth a go if you like slots and games.

I joined Reel Island and played on slots. Absolutely awful. Playing £1 a go winning 8p. Don't expect to win all the time, but when you are playing £1 a go if you are lucky enough to win you expect to win more than 8p or 10p ago. Leave this site alone unless you want to spend £30 in about 2 minutes.

Totally agree with you bells! Joined had 20.00 in bonus plus 2.85 on free spins, so total of 47.85 to play! Slots don't pay out and only seen 1 maybe 2 free spins which were poor pay outs! Went to live help to close account asap, they gave me an extra 15.00 total waste of time, so went back to live help to close again offering me more funds, told no thank you wasted enough time and money! Account closed thank god! Don't waste your time and money on here!
