Spela Casino launched in mid-2018 with a focus mainly on players in the Nordic markets of Finland and Sweden and then added Germany. Upon their debut, the site only accepted Trustly payments. In May 2019, they launched to the rest of the world, except for the usually restricted markets of France, USA, Romania, etc. Along with the global launch, new welcome offers, payment methods, currencies, and languages were added to the site.

This is another avant-garde online gaming site from Genesis Global Limited, the same people who brought us Casino Cruise, Spinit, Sloty, Vegas Hero, and most recently prior, Genesis Casino.

New players can expect the same great stable platform with games from dozens of developers, a premier licensing jurisdiction in Malta, bonuses on top of bonuses, and an instant play no registration - instant withdrawal banking system for players in certain countries who use Trustly. All others can take advantage of Spelas same day and instant withdrawals once their documents are verified.

It only takes a few minutes to get started, and players in BankID countries don't even need to register to begin playing.

Join the action with Spela's popular online casino games. Join Gonzo on his Quest deep in the jungle and find Eldorado or win both ways with expanding wilds and an expanding bankroll with Starburst!

Software and Games

Whether you want to choose from over 1,300 games in Flash and HTML5 on your laptop or desktop, or wish to play on the go with more than 500 games choices for mobile (and growing!) there's no software or app to download and you can be playing within less than a minute.

Game providers include Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Yggdrasil Gaming. While those may be among the most well-known game developers, there are plenty more, including Quickfire partners and boutique development labs such as ELK Studios and Old Skool Studios.

One game developer that to keep an eye on, and of course, to try their games here, is GECO Gaming. We think you will be pleasantly surprised! These folks have been creating cutting-edge games and systems for over a decade, but only merged their companies a couple of years ago. Check them out!

Navigation

Keeping with the brand's desire to make gambling fun again with no junk and no clutter, you'll find a highly streamlined mobile and desktop menu under the 'hamburger' (3 horizontal lines) in the upper left. Immediately to the right of that is a text search box. On the far right you'll see: How it Works and Play Now. Simple, clean, functional!

Game filtering is unique. Although you won't be able to sort by the provider, the drill-down works wonderfully and the results aren't confused by clumping aggregated game makers like those on Quickfire (Rabcat, Genesis, etc.) all under the Microgaming filter.

• Slots & Jackpots - this category holds most of the site's catalog of games from old favorites like Tombraider to Wicked Tales: Dark Red from Microgaming exclusive partner Triple Edge Studios. Of course, Mega Moolah, Hall of Gods, and more than 20 other big-time favorites are on deck too!
• Casino Games is where you'll find RNG classics like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat along with an assortment of oddities like Poke The Guy; numbers games such as Triple Chance Hi-Lo; arcade favorite Max Damage and the Alian Attack, as well as video poker, scratch cards, and a good variety of RNG table pokers.

Live Dealer Casino

NetEnt Live and Evolution Gaming provide the feeds for the in-person streaming games cast from various studios around Europe as well as live casino floors like Malta's Dragonara in St. Juliens and London's Hippodrome. 

Gaming options include multiple blackjack, roulette, and baccarat variants, some in specific languages. Table limits are wide-ranging and VIP tables are available. 

House-banked poker games include Caribbean Stud, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, and Three Card Poker. If you want the best chance to beat the game of 3-card poker and like to do the maths yourself, check out the Wizard of Odds' Three Card Poker Appendix 1.

Sports fans may gravitate toward Evolution Gaming's Live Football Studio to play a simple two card numbers game where you bet whether your card or the dealer's card will be higher in rank - or if the cards will tie. The game is combined with live match commentary, game chatter, and goal celebrations.

Bonuses and Promotions

First depositors will usually find a Welcome Offer. The gaming experience is as much like walking onto a gaming floor as possible.

Banking and Customer Service

Players all over the world will find a variety of common online payment methods with plenty of regional and local favorites. Currencies available include C$, $, £, €, and R. You'll find the website available in a variety of languages including localized English for the UK and Canada, Norwegian, Suomi, and more.

The Final Word

While the site initially launched to a limited audience, customer demand dictated that they expand the offering to more of the Genesis group's global base.

Genesis Global is a trusted operator of several popular casinos. They seem to be well-funded based on the relatively high daily, weekly, and monthly cash out limits in tandem with the immediate withdrawal process. We wouldn't expect a multi-million-euro Microgaming network progressive jackpot to be paid out in 5 minutes, but that's because those are paid directly by Microgaming to the winner without passing through casino accounts.

The game selection is excellent, but it would be nice if players could search for games by the provider rather than just by the game title or subjective category.
