A growing online casino site with a large social media presence and increasing public profile through its sponsorship of Ipswich Town in the EFL Championship, Magical Vegas is set up to cater equally well for players on all platforms, so you get a first-rate gaming experience whether you play on your PC, laptop or mobile. The range of games is excellent too, with more than 850 slots by 19 different producers, so there is outstanding choice and variety on offer when it comes to game styles and special features too.
As a new player at Magical Vegas, you get matches on your first three deposits potentially worth up to £1,000.
To claim the full £1,000 bonus, you need to make three deposits totalling £1,500, which gives you a total bankroll of £2,500 and is an overall deposit match rate of just over 66% (the minimum deposit to claim a bonus is £20). Please note that any deposits made using Neteller are not eligible to claim a bonus.

The wagering requirement is 25x deposit + bonus, and only online slots and scratch cards contribute to the playthrough 100%; other games contribute at a lower rate (check the terms and conditions for full list). However, bonus funds can nevertheless be used to play all games, except roulette and progressive jackpot slots.
All bonuses are valid for seven days, and any part of the bonus that is not cleared after this time will be forfeited. The bonus amount itself is non-cashable, but winnings from bonus funds can be cashed out once the playthrough has been met (bonus winnings are capped at £1,000).
Overall, this is a fairly standard sort of Welcome Bonus — the value on offer is reasonable but there’s not a great deal to get excited about. The addition of some bonus spins might broaden the appeal of this offer.
*New players only. 18+. Bonus on 1st dep. of £20-£500, max bonus £500; cashout restrictions, 25x wagering. Full T&Cs apply. Please gamble responsibly. Begambleaware.org
As a VIP at Magical Vegas, you can pick up great bonuses and rewards on a regular basis. You are immediately enrolled in the VIP programme when you sign up as a Bronze Member (the higher levels are Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald and Elite Diamond), and the more you play, the more points you earn and the higher the status you achieve. Some of the perks you can pick up as a VIP include Daily Cashback (where you get back a percentage of your losses from the previous day), reduced wagering requirements, faster payout times, and a dedicated account manager to look after you.
You get a fantastic range of almost 900 online games at Magical Vegas, including around 850 slots by the best developers in the industry, including Microgaming, NetEnt, Core Gaming, Eyecon, IGT, Novomatic, Play’n GO, Realistic Games, Barcrest, Endorphina, GECO Gaming, Bally Technologies, WMS, Daub Games, Habanero, Pariplay, Gamevy and Ainsworth.
The slot games are all Instant Play and so can be played directly in your browser with no casino software to download, and once you have an account you can check out most games as free slots in demo mode. As well as new release slots, you can play the best-known video slots and themed slots like Avalon (1 & 2), Gonzo’s Quest, Jack and the Beanstalk, Jimi Hendrix and Planet of the Apes.
There is also a good selection of progressive jackpot slots from a variety of different networks, including Cute and Cuddly, Speed Cash, Colussus Fracpot, Divine Fortune and Bell of Fortune.
You can also play table and card games, like blackjack, roulette, baccarat and table poker, along with scratch cards and video poker games.
Magical Vegas also has a live dealer casino, where you can play a variety of NetEnt blackjack and roulette games that are streamed live-in real-time HD to your laptop or mobile.
For UK players, accounts can be managed in GBP and there are a number of payment methods that you can use. Along with debit and credit cards, you can also use PayPal, PaySafe Card and Neteller (although please note that if you use Neteller you are not eligible to claim the Welcome Bonus). There are no fees for using any of these deposit methods, and your funds are instantly credited to your account. The minimum deposit for credit/debit cards and PaySafe Card is £10, and £20 for PayPal and Neteller.
Withdrawal requests are subject to a processing period which can take up to 72 hours and are only processed Monday to Friday. You may then experience additional bank processing time if you withdraw to a credit/debit card. The minimum withdrawal amount using any payment method is £10, and there are no fees attached.
In terms of the overall convenience of making payments at Magical Vegas, it compares reasonably well to many of the other sites that we feature here, although the number of accepted methods is still relatively limited. The addition of Skrill would be helpful for some UK players, but most of you should be able to find a convenient payment method to use here.
The Community
If you want to connect with Magical Vegas beyond the desktop or mobile casino sites, there are different social media platforms that you can use.
On the Facebook page (@magicalvegas), you can take part in special Ipswich Town promotions and competitions, discover new release slots and casino games, find out about big wins, or read some more general interest articles e.g., on travel, fashion, tech, etc. You can also get in touch with customer support using Facebook Messenger.
There is also the opportunity to engage on Twitter (@MagicalVegas), where you can enter competitions, take part in sporting banter or enjoy fun memes. Using Twitter is also a quick and easy way to get in touch with customer support, ask a question, or engage with other players.
If you are an Android user, you can download a free app for phones and tablets from Google Play — just search for ‘Magical Vegas’. Alternatively, if you play on Apple iPhone or iPad, or any other operating system, you can play HTML5 mobile slots directly in the browser of your device by going to magicalvegas.com.
The collection of games in the mobile casino is just as impressive as at the desktop site, with more than 820 to choose from by leading developers like Microgaming, NetEnt and Play’n GO. The site has a relatively straightforward design and UI, and is easy to navigate, and there are useful categories to help you sort the slot games, meaning you can search according to the number of paylines in a game, the bonus features, or the theme.
There are all types of games on offer in the mobile casino, including video slots, themed slots and progressive jackpot games. You can also play a range of table and cards games, as well as NetEnt live dealer games that are streamed in real time HD to your mobile phone or tablet. Overall, we have found the mobile gaming experience to be just as enjoyable as playing at the desktop site.
The choice and range of games at Magical Vegas is enough to make even the most experienced player sit up and take notice, and with slots by the best developers you can always be assured of the quality. However, the only drawback in our view is in the realm of progressive jackpot slots — although there are a number of titles to choose from, there are none of the really big paying games, like Mega Moolah or Mega Fortune, and so this is probably the biggest deficit in the games department.
We like the navigation features on the site that make it easier to find slots according to theme, paylines or game features, although it would also be helpful if you could search and sort for games according to the developer.
However, these small reservations aside, we appreciate the gaming choice and the uncluttered design of the site, and so overall we think that a rating of 4 stars out of 5 is well deserved.
