Videoslots.com is one of the biggest online gambling sites in the world with over 2,200 games on tap and adding more almost every day. The instant play casino launched on the Microgaming Quickfire platform on March 21, 2011. After only six months they had integrated over 200 casino and slots games into their offering with single, pooled, progressive jackpots approaching half a million euros each. The site and games are licensed by the UKGC, Malta, or Curacao depending on a player's location. eCogra certified.

While the original Quickfire platform was certainly robust and a leap forward for the industry it took further development before the disparate API 'modules' that independent developers were using could be 'plugged-in' on the fly. Now, with Videoslots as a prime example, operators can add single games or entire portfolios at the push of a button. In order to play every game available at VS.com it would take about 2 years if you played three new and different games each day. But good luck with that, because by the time you got to the end of the menu, you'd have to start all over again with new games being released almost daily.

Regarding player satisfaction, the major review sites all rank them high with players at big forums like Latest Casino Bonuses giving the site a rating of 4.5/5 and Casino Listing scoring them at 5/5. The other metric we sometimes use to gauge an operation's integrity is how they treat their marketing partners because in some cases they are the canaries in the coal mines you get the first whiff of impending doom. Judging by industry chatter, as recently as one year ago some affiliates were not happy with transparency in the stats and theretofore unseen fees, but after recruiting top managers, well known for fairness and getting things done, those complaints have largely disappeared. It would seem they spent the first few years trying to build the best online casino possible and are now working to make their marketing partners feel the same way about the site as players do.

Software and Games

All games are available for instant play on any device. VS.com and the platform provider were ahead of the curve on how games would be delivered in the future. Remember, in 2011 almost all sites were single developer 'skins' with their own management - in December 2010 every Microgaming casino was running on the Viper software platform and only offered MGS games. Almost every other major developer or gaming site, before this one, worked on that model as well. However, most developer/providers dragged their feet on the next most important development that was coming, HTML5. And while the industry is now converting old games and developing new ones in the future-proof markup language, some of the games out there still require a Flash browser plug-in.

All games can be played on mobile, but not all games are delivered in HTML5. This will remain the case at many online sites until the dying breath of Flash in 2020. For now, some legacy games by MGS, Betsoft, and other long-standing developers may not be available to all players if they have personally chosen to abandon Flash ahead of the drop-dead date.

That information should be tempered with the fact that you will find games from over 70 development labs here! Many of them have built and deliver all of their games in HTML5 and the small to mid-sized providers have a much less daunting task in converting their existing portfolios. All of the older developers are also converting games, with NetEnt and others rolling out updated versions of long-time favorites on regular schedules and creating all new content in HTML5.

The list of game providers includes labs with only a small handful of games such as Foxium, and cult favorites like 2BY2, ELK Studios, Quickspin, Rabcat, Genesis, and Lightning Box. Look for age-old names like WMS, Merkur, Ainsworth, Blueprint, Aristocrat, Bally, and Barcrest as well.

Bonuses and Promotions

Over the years they have fine-tuned their promotional terms to be as player-friendly as possible. While the basic scheme may be new to you it is fairly easy to understand. You'll have certain wagering requirements and a certain time frame to convert bonus money into cash. You can deposit as many times as you like in that time frame to convert it. It is converted to cash in increments.

However, where it can get a little tricky for some people, is in weighting, or how much each wager contributes to the required play-through. That ratio is determined by the actual theoretical return to player percentage (RTP) of any specific game wagered on. The baseline is 96% RTP which counts 100% toward wagering requirements. A game with 95% RTP will contribute 125%, and one with 96.1% RTP will only contribute 97.5% These granular distinctions may only matter to advanced bonus players, but it's part of the scheme. This only applies to games in the Video slots, Slots, Vegas, and Scratch Cards categories, which all contribute 25% to 175% to WR.

Banking and Customer Service

There are payment solutions for all players who are able to register. Look for low deposit minimum and high monthly payout limits. Deposits are free of charge unless using Euteller, in which case a 1.95% processing fee is charged. One withdrawal per day is free with a small fee for additional withdrawals the same day. Verified players have seen withdrawals occur in as few as 5-10 seconds. Expect up to 48 hours for document approval and no longer than 24 hours after that for subsequent payouts. Credit and debit card withdrawals can take 3-5 days to register and bank transfers can take 5 business days to appear.

Live chat, return phone call, and email support are all lightning quick. The site's FAQ comes with a text search box.

Pitfalls

While there are thousands of games to play, not all of them will be available on all devices in every jurisdiction. No live dealer casino. Not all slots count the same toward wagering. Incremental bonus release.

The Final Word

While some progressive jackpot games may not offer a free-to-try option, it's easy to find out how many of the games you will be able to play from your current location on your chosen device by trying the fun mode. As feet-draggers like Rival pick up their game and get their portfolios converted to HTML5 you may have to run a Flash plug-in to play some games. One great thing is that the Flash permissions splash screen is almost immediate so very little time is wasted, especially after you find the cache of state-of-the-art developers when searching by the provider. The Flash problem is not unique to this site and not a problem at all for players who have the plug-in enabled. By the time you read this review, it's possible the entire industry will have come into the light of the new day!
