BluVegas Casino Review | December 2024

Game types

Game providers

Pokie Types

The casino carries a vast collection of top pokies, over 4400 in number. Among these, video and classic slots hold the biggest number. Progressive slots are also present, though players have only 6 choices when it comes to progressive jackpots.

Playtech and Reel Time Gaming are missing from the list of providers the casino carries. Games from these developers, such as Playtech’s Leprechauns Luck or Luck O’ The Irish pokies, would have improved the casino game collection. Reel Time Gaming’s Fishin’ Frenzy collection is also a must-have for a casino.

Types of Jackpots

The website has both progressive and regular jackpots, with the most notable progressive slot being Mega Moolah. Other names include Cash Splash, Treasure Nile and Elysian Jackpots.

Tournaments

The casino does provide tournaments, though as of the time of our research, there aren’t any ongoing tournaments. Still, starting with the 10th of August, there will be plenty of tournaments centered around the popular pokie Book of Dead, with a prize pool of NZ$200 for the first place. PlayOJO Casino and Wolfy Casino have similar offers, should you need more suggestions.

Pros & Cons of Pokies

Types of live games

BluVegas Casino has 110 live games available, including Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette. Live poker is also available, though only 3 tables have been added as of the time of our investigation. Other types of live games include game shows and Dragon Tiger.

Live Roulette

There are 25 live Roulette games available at BluVegas Casino. Among these, Lightning Roulette, Immersive and Instant Roulette are the most popular ones. Variations such as French and American Roulette are also available, though we could not find any European Roulette tables.

Live Blackjack

There are 35 Blackjack games available, with various options available, including One Blackjack and Blackjack Azure. Salon Prive and VIP tables are available for this section, with bets starting at NZ$2 and ending at NZ$10000, which caters to both low and high-spenders.

Live Baccarat

BluVegas Casino has 10 Baccarat games, which is on the lower side, though players will still have the opportunity to play worthwhile Baccarat games with various betting limits. For example, No Commission Speed Baccarat, Baccarat Squeeze and Mini Baccarat are present in the live casino section.

What Famous Live Games Providers are Missing?

• Pragmatic Play
• Authentic Gaming
• Playtech

If some of the above providers had been represented, it could have improved BluVegas Casino’s rating from our experts. For example, Playtech has a particularly good reputation for developing live dealer games, so their inclusion would have been a big plus. Despite this, the casino has plenty of other live dealer developers, most notably Evolution Gaming.

Min & Max Bet Live Casino Games

Live dealer games verdict

The Live Casino menu is comprised of Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette games. Moreover, something you don’t see most of the casinos include is live poker, which, though it has only 3 tables available, may still satisfy poker players.

While the maximum bet for live games is NZ$20000, which is similar to other casinos we’ve played at, it’s a good way for players to keep their betting habits under control.

• Keno
• Scratchcards
• Dragon Tiger

VIP Programme

BluVegas operates an impressive 6-tier VIP programme. The programme is invitation-based, meaning that whenever members of the staff consider you to be a good fit for this membership, you’ll get contacted by customer support either via email or live chat.

As VIP members, NZ players get the following benefits:

• Their own personal account manager
• Gifts on your birthday, as well as on memorable anniversaries and dates
• Possible increased withdrawal limits and quicker payouts
• Weekly cash gifts and bonuses with lower wagering requirements and a monthly cash reward

The table below shows the VIP levels and the corresponding weekly cashback amount.

Desktop Interface Verdict

The desktop website runs smoothly, with no buds or laggy buttons. Whether you’re jumping from tab to tab or simply spending time playing a particular slot, you won’t encounter any issues on that part, which is what a player seeks when joining a new casino.

How does the graphic look?

Though the name of the casino refers to Vegas, the website displays Egypt, New York and Paris motifs, which creates a unique gaming experience, especially for players who are passionate about graphic design. Moreover, the simple white background, paired with the purple icons and cartoons, brings out the casino’s slots and games.

How to navigate

Essentially, there are three ways to navigate BluVegas casino:

• You can click the Categories button in the top left corner
• Some of the menus can be accessed along the top of the website, for example, the Promotions menu
• In addition, you can locate the different facilities available by clicking on the links at the bottom of the website
• You can use the search bar to look for specific games
• Use the provider filter tool to categorise games further

How are the games categorised?

The games are categorised according to their type, for example, designated tabs for more extensive categories such as slots and live casino. If you click on one of these menus, it shows all the games that come under this category, together with some additional information.

There is also a search bar and the option to search for games according to their software provider.

Can you easily browse through the site?

Thanks to the handy search bar and the provider filtering tool, your perusal is made more accessible. Moreover, should you need more information on a specific topic or you’d instead just go from page to page looking at all the casino has to offer, then that’s no problem since all tabs and categories are at the forefront on the homepage.

Mobile Interface Verdict

The smooth running of the website does not stop at the desktop interface. The mobile version of the website runs just as smoothly, though since the website has been compacted due to mobile accessibility, some icons and text may glitch together. If this happens, just refresh the page, and you should be good to go.

How does the graphic look?

The only difference between mobile and desktop in this department is the footer, which in the mobile version is way longer to accommodate all links and tabs, icons etc. Though it’s good the casino offers plenty of information in the footer, it could use some shrinking.

Aside from this, the layout is clean and organized, and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for, be it a game or a particular tab or page.

How to navigate

• Locate the search bar at the centre of the page
• Use the filter tool to categorise games by their provider
• Open the Categories tab at the left-hand side of the screen
• There you may find VIP, Tournaments, Promotions, Support and more
• To deposit, use the Deposit button next to the profile section

How are the games categorised?

The casino games are categorised into traditional categories we see at most casinos, meaning New Games, Slots, Table Games, Jackpots, Live Casino, and a miscellaneous category with rare games. Moreover, Roulette games and Bonus Buys have their own category.

If you don’t have a particular game in mind and these categories are not of much help, use the provider tool on the left side to further filter games out.
