Island Jackpots - online casino review
Last updated: 6th December 2018
A lot of online casinos these days have generic gambling/Vegas themes, so it’s refreshing to come across one that has a totally different kind of theme. As its name suggests, Island Jackpots has a sort of desert island theme, with bright colours used throughout – overall it certainly looks very pleasant and is quite easy on the eye. Its mascot is a cartoon man who’s washed up on a desert island and is excited at the prospect of discovering the island’s many treasures. The casino was launched earlier in 2017 and is one of many owned by Cassava Enterprises Limited, a Gibraltar-based company owned by 888 UK.
Pros and cons
- Good Range Of Slots Available
- Fresh Site Design
- Very Limited Table Games Selection
- No Live Chat
Software
The games at Island Jackpots come from a good range of game providers. These include some of the online gambling industry’s top names, such as IGT, NetEnt, Dragonfish and Nyx Interactive, along with some up-and-coming providers, including WMS (Williams Interactive), PariPlay and Eyecon. Overall there’s certainly a good amount of diversity, with players able to choose from games they’re familiar with, along with games they might never have come across before. Compared to other online casinos, the variety of providers is on the whole quite good.
Games
Island Jackpots has a sizeable games library that includes over 300 games. Most of these are slots and progressive jackpots, with just five table games present among the collection. On the whole, the games library is certainly good for fans of slots, however the fact that it offers so few table games is something that can be improved on, especially since most other online casinos offer at least a dozen or so table games. It’s also worth mentioning that there are no blackjack or roulette games – both are staples of online and land-based casinos and it’s quite surprising to see that the casino doesn’t offer either one of them. Still, players are sure to find plenty of games to enjoy at the casino, especially since it offers many popular titles by some of the online gambling industry’s top developers. Though there’s room for improvement, generally speaking the games library caters to players’ demands well.
Slots
Island Jackpots mostly focuses on slots, with the vast majority of its games library consisting of slots. There are over 300 in total and they come from a good range of game providers. There’s plenty of variety and choice, so players of all tastes are bound to find slots they’ll enjoy playing. Some of the casino’s most popular slots include Starburst, Mega Fortune, Millionaire Genie and Fluffy Favourites. Thanks to the handy Jackpot Tracker feature, players can check what the newest and biggest progressive jackpots are; there are 10 progressive jackpots in total at the casino.
Live Casino
There aren’t any live casino games at Island Jackpots.
Table Games
Though the focus at Island Jackpots is mostly on slots and progressive jackpots, the casino offers a handful of table games to give players something else to play besides slots. The table games collection is very limited compared to what other online casinos have to offer: there are only three poker games and two baccarat games. Most casinos typically have at least a few blackjack and roulette games, but Island Jackpots has neither one of those games available.

Island Jackpots review summary
Island Jackpots is a new casino for 2017 and even though there’s plenty of good to say about it, the casino does have a lot of room for improvement. Its collection of over 300 slots is sure to please slots fans, especially since there’s plenty of variety as the games come from over half a dozen different game providers. However, what’s notably missing from the games library are blackjack and roulette games – which are found at pretty much every other online casino – and live casino games. Hopefully these will be added at a future date to give players more in the way of table games to play. There also isn’t much in the way of promotions and the welcome bonus is considerably smaller – £10 in bonus money – compared to what other online casinos typically offer. While customer support is available, it isn’t available round the clock and there’s no live chat, which may inconvenience some players. That being said, the casino is well designed and should appeal to slots fans.
