Games Offered

Firstly, Irish Spins provides RTP--return-to-player--data for most games, something players truly appreciate and which seems to be a relatively new thing for them; pay close attention to this, to hook a bigger chance of a win! Good move, Irish Spins! Thumbs up.

Online Slots

The “spins” in Irish Spins refers to the spinning of a slot machine. Irish Spins offers some of the most popular online slot machines for members to spin to their hearts’ content, including:

• Aloha! Cluster Pays Slots. For spinners who love to get “lei’d,” this brightly-colored, Hawai’ian-themed video slot machine offers pineapples, coconuts, tiki heads, and other island imagery across six reels with 10 paylines and a 95.7% RTP. Load up the 10 bet lines, set the game to “auto-play,” and watch your bets play out. The machine offers free spins, re-spins, and substitution or stacked symbols.
• Bonanza Megaways Slots. Ready to strike it rich? With bets of up to £500 accepted, Bonanza Megaways Slots is a go-to video slot machine for high rollers who want to put big money on the spin of the six reels. RTP is 96%, with over 110,000 ways to win … including the “diamond” payline, which pays you 50x. 
• Cleopatra Slots. This classic five-reel, 20-payline video slot immerses players in ancient Egyptian imagery like scarab beetles, hieroglyphs, and the Eye of Horus. 20 bet lines allow players to place bets ranging from a let’s-play-safe 2p to a whopping £100, with bonuses and opportunities for free spins along the way. 95.7% RTP.
• Starburst Slots. A trippy, sparkly online slot with five reels, ten paylines, and RTP 96.09%. Bet anything from a pretty penny to £100 across ten bet lines. You can even fill up the bet lines and parameters, then set the game to “auto-play” and chill out. The 25 free spins available with the sign-up bonus apply to this game.

Other video slot options available at Irish Spins include:

• 3-reel slots.
• Classic slots, with graphics designed to resemble old-school lever-operated machines. The old favorite!
• Fruit machines-aka “fruities”--a British old favorite too.
• 3D slots, with top-of-the-line graphics.
• Progressive slots, with jackpots that rise with every play.

Blackjack

If blackjack is your game, then check, hit, or double down with several classic blackjack games available in the Irish Spins online interface. Gaming options include:

• Classic Blackjack. Play against a digital dealer who will stand at 17. You can also make side bets on Perfect Pairs (your first cards dealt are a pair) and 21+3 (yours and the dealers’ cards make a winning poker hand).
• European Blackjack. This classic blackjack game offers a whopping 99.59% RTP with only two decks in play, no hole card, and the dealer standing at 17.
• Professional Blackjack. This NetEnt product offers an even classier interface on an already classy game.
• Pontoon. This blackjack variant ups the stakes by requiring players to hit on flops of 14 or lower. You can’t just stick and hope for the dealer to bust.

Live Casino Games

For players who love the thrill of playing with a live dealer, Irish Spins offers this popular feature from a studio, live-streamed during gameplay hours. 

Note that live dealer games tend to have a lower RTP than their digital counterparts, which operate using random-number-generating software.

• Live Blackjack. Similar to both digital blackjack and in-person casino blackjack, with a live dealer dealing from an eight-deck shoe.
• Live Poker. Live dealers distribute hands to players in a live chat room.
• Live Roulette. The dealer spins a roulette wheel by hand in the studio, with players having the option to bet on red or black, odd or even, dozen bets, column bets, or individual numbers.
• Dream Catcher. This casino newcomer functions like “Roulette meets Wheel of Fortune.” Players place bets on which number the wheel will stop on after the spin.

Big Money Slingo

Here’s a really interesting variant that not all casinos offer! This variation on classic bingo--a kind of slots-bingo marriage, if you like--offers a medieval setting and six immersive skins, including:

• Diamond Peak
• Golden Fields
• Jokers Hamlet
• Lucky Gulch
• Royal Forest
• Smugglers Cove.

In the game, you get 6 spins with opportunities for free spins. Symbols appear which you get to place in a square of your choice on a 5x5 grid. From bets ranging from 50p to £10, you can win as much as £100,000! The RTP on Big Money Slingo is 87.27%. Okay, low RTP but a fabulous gaming twist!

Can I Play Irish Spins On My Mobile Phone?

Online gamblers who love to play on the road will be pleased to learn that they can take Irish Spins with them on their iPhone or iPad. The iOS app is easy to use, with a sensible interface design to bring its most popular slots and other games to the small screen. 

Android users are not so lucky. Irish Spins has teased at the release of an Android app, but despite the greater flexibility of Android app designs, it hasn’t hit the market. Beware, too — green, Irish, and Leprechaun imagery is popular in casino apps. Don’t download a lookalike Android app expecting to get the bonuses, gameplay, and security of Irish Spins! Your Irish Spins account is only usable on the official Irish Spins app. Be lucky and pick the right site!

If you have an Android device and want to play on the go, irishspins.com is optimized for mobile browsers, so you could play various games in “web app” format. 

What Bonuses and Promotions Does Irish Spins Have?

Welcome Bonus

New players on Irish Spins can claim a 200% welcome bonus on their first deposit—to a maximum of £50. That means the optimum first deposit is £25 to max out your 200% bonus for a starting bankroll of £75. However, you can make a first deposit as low as £10.

The welcome bonus also includes 25 free spins on the Starburst video slots game. This doesn’t quite make up for an overall “meh” sign-up bonus, but at least it’s something. Casinos offer welcome bonuses to earn repeat business, so you might as well take it.

As always, you can’t just pocket the bonus money and walk away. The bonus comes with a 40x wagering requirement, meaning you need to bet the bonus amount at least 40 times before you can withdraw it. Different games contribute different amounts to the wagering requirement, allowing you to meet the requirement either more quickly or more slowly.

The Welcome Bonus is available within 28 days of opening the account, so make sure to make your first deposit in that time frame.

VIP Bonuses

Special bonuses, gifts, and offers kick in with VIP memberships, available to players who have wagered at least £2,000 over the course of their gameplay on Irish Spins.

Does Irish Spins Have a Loyalty Program?

The four-tier VIP club offered by Irish Spins also kicks in at £2,000 in gameplay. Increasing your status unlocks benefits like faster withdrawal, gifts, increased deposit limits, promotions, gifts, and even a dedicated account manager. 

Tiers of VIP status are broken down as follows:

• Silver. £2,000 in gameplay.
• Gold. £5,000 in gameplay.
• Premiere. £10,000 in gameplay.
• Elite. £20,000 in gameplay.

What Deposit Methods Does Irish Spins Offer?

Make deposits into your Irish Spins account using a variety of popular mobile wallet applications, including:

• MasterCard. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Maestro. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Visa. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Visa Electron.  £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• PayPal. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Neteller. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Skrill. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Sofort. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Trustly. £10 minimum deposit, no fee.

• Giropay.  £10 minimum deposit, no fee.
• Boku. £15 minimum deposit, 15% fee.
   

The PayPal option is an unusual and very welcome one; not many casinos offer this, and we know many players prefer Paypal since holding a balance there doesn’t mean touching the player’s main bank account. 

What Withdrawal Methods Does Irish Spins Offer?

Once playthrough and wagering requirements have been met, funds can be withdrawn in minimum amounts of £10. Processing time is 72 hours, with a total of 6-10 days for the money to reach your preferred account. These pony-express turnaround times are definitely not a selling point for Irish Spins.

Methods of withdrawal of funds from Irish Spins include:

• MasterCard
• Maestro
• Neteller
• Paysafecard
• Skrill
• Trustly
• Visa
• Visa Electron
• Wire Transfer.

Is Irish Spins a Safe Place to Play?

A smaller player in the online casino market, Irish Spins has a fairly good reputation, though the fact that chat support is not available 24/7 is troubling.

Another impact of its smaller stature is a seeming unwillingness to pay out large winnings. Irish Spins imposes a winnings limit of £250,000 per spin. Call it “high-level problems,” but if you come into winnings in excess of £250,000, they are not collectible. That woukd really leave a sour taste.

Now, a win that big on a single spin is very unlikely, but we have to stand on principle here. While the limited revenue of a company like Irish Spins makes this policy understandable, it’s hard to see how they justify refusing to pay out bankrolls that players have won fair-and-square.

Irish Spins also enforces a £15 dormancy clause, requiring that much bankroll to maintain your account without cancellation. While that might not seem like much, it is actually three times the industry standard.

Last, gamers cannot access Irish Spins in every country, but that is not unusual for all casinos and actually, they have a very small restrictions list! These are: Australia, South Africa, United States and its outlying territories. Bad news for us eager US players. Maybe they’ll reconsider...

Bottom Line

Like those little green leprechauns of myth, Irish Spins slid down the rainbow with small stature but big riches in the form of a lucrative welcome bonus. That seems to have passed, with the online casino settling into its role as a niche player in the online casino space. We miss the big bonuses and don’t know how we feel about winnings limits—even one big enough to buy a nice flat in Belfast.

Still, there’s a lot to love about Irish Spins, including the selection of games, user-friendly mobile format, reputation, live-dealer games, licensing and VIP perks. Are the Irish lucky by nature? History offers a mixed opinion. But why frown on a perfectly fine good luck charm? So, we reckon that if you live in a country where Irish Spins is available, go to town on Slingo, Starburst slots, and live-dealer Roulette until you net your pot of gold.
