INTRODUCTION
Entering the iGaming wilderness in 2016, Amazon Slots is part of the Jumpman Slots Network and this means a few things. In the first instance, it means you get easy access to some of the best online slots in the business. The other benefit of Jumpman platforms is its bonuses. Yes, there can be some issues with wagering requirements, but there’s no denying the offers are unique. To give you more insight into what we mean, check out our Amazon Slots review.

SOFTWARE/GRAPHICS
As a Jumpman Slots site, Amazon Slots has games from all sorts of developers with top reputations. They use software from the likes of Eyecon, NetEnt, Microgaming and others. These are combined into an excellent gaming lobby with many themes and gameplay styles.
The site has a forest theme, with various tropical animals lining the pages and gaming lobby. If you like a bit of escapism when you play online then this site will transport you deep into the rainforest.
Players can opt to use this site on their mobile too, as it uses HTML5 tech to optimise it for almost every device.
BONUSES & PROMOTIONS
What You Get
When you venture into the wilds of Amazon Slots, you’ll find a veritable money tree in the form of a unique welcome bonus. Unlike conventional offers that tell you to deposit XX in order to receive YY, Amazon Slots has taken a different approach. Put simply, when you deposit £10 or more, you get to spin the Mega Reel. Etched onto the reels are a number of bonuses, ranging from a few spins (up to 500) on Starburst to Amazon vouchers, and the result of your spin will determine the value of your welcome reward.
Now, we like this system for two reasons. Firstly, you only have to deposit £10 and the potential rewards can be extremely lucrative. Indeed, when you look at any of our recommended UK online casinos, you’ll struggle to find any operator that gives you that amount of free spins. Moreover, the £10 limit is low and, what’s more, the size of your prize isn’t dependent on the size of your deposit. Low stakes players often miss out on a ton of value out because deals are based on multiples of their deposits. However, Amazon Slots has created a fairer system and that’s something we appreciate.
The second reason we love this deal is because it creates a sense of drama when you sign up. Yes, there are deals out there where you can get more in return for your time online. However, you know the potential rewards when you join. At Amazon Slots, you don’t know what you’re going to get and that’s exciting. Sure, you might not like surprises. If that’s the case, this deal isn’t for you. However, if you like a bit of fun, this deal is great.
What You Need to Know
Now, as much as we like the overall premise of this deal, there are a few things that could be better. When you bore down into the specifics, you quickly find that the wagering conditions are tough. For any cash you win from your free spins, the playthrough is 65X. We can’t sugar-coat it, that’s extremely high. The industry average is 40X, so you will need to work very hard if you want to unlock your funds. Additionally, bets made on the following games won’t contribute to the playthrough: Blackjack (all variants), Roulette (all variants), any other casino style games, Hi Lo games, Video Poker, Keno, progressive jackpot slots.
Now, the counter to this is that your winnings are limited to £250. So, in this respect, the amount you have to stake does have a limit. Additionally, if you win an Amazon voucher, that’s the end of it, there aren’t any wagering requirements. Although these things don’t completely cancel out the 65X playthrough, the negatives aren’t as bad as they could be.
GAMES
The games here will ensure that you always have something new and exciting to spin on. Whether you love cute slots or hard-core casino games, Amazon Slots has something for everyone here. In fact, in among the 500+ games, you’ll find hits such as Mega Moolah, Twinkle, White Wizard, Foxin Wins and Aloha Cluster Pays.
On top of these top slots, you’ll also get instant desktop access to blackjack, roulette and, interestingly, bingo. Yes, we’re a purveyor of bingo sites, but slots sites often forgo bingo in favour of casino games. However, Amazon Slots has added a selection of standard, jackpot and VIP games starting from £0.01. Finally, one of the great things about this site is that you can also save games to your favourites so you can go back to them any time. You can even sort them by which ones are newest.
MOBILE
When you download the Amazon Slots iOS or Android app, you’ll get access to 470 casino games. To put that figure in context, that’s a lot. Indeed, if you look at the average mobile casino app, the number of games on offer typically hovers around the 200-250 mark. As well as being impressive in a vacuum, this fact is even more impressive due to the fact Amazon Slots isn’t one of the industry’s major players. By offering 470 games (and counting), Amazon is able to outstrip the top brands and that, for us, is fantastic.
In addition to a burgeoning gaming lobby, the mobile apps offer push notifications and, if you’re an iPhone owner, TouchID login. For those that don’t know, this allows you to ditch the password and access your account using your fingerprint. That’s obviously more secure than usual set-up and, again, another positive for the mobile app.
DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL
Amazon Slots accepts a range of payment methods, including: Visa, MasterCard, Paysafecard or pay by mobile. When funding your account, the minimum deposit is £10.
To make a withdrawal, Visa or MasterCard are the only options and you’ll have to cashout at least £30. Finally, you should expect to wait around a week for your transaction to be completed.
SECURITY & TRUST
Can you trust Amazon Slots? In short, yes. On the regulatory side of things, the site is fully licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. On top of this, every game has been tested and approved as fair by SQS. Finally, the site itself is verified as secure by GoDaddy. Beyond its legal credentials, Amazon Slots has a 3/5-star rating from WhichBingo. That’s a fair score, but we did notice that some customers experienced issues with the site’s customer service team and their slow/non-existent responses.
