Bet365 Vegas Celebrates Its First Birthday After An Enthralling Year

Happy Birthday To You Bet365 Vegas!

One year after the site's somewhat unexpected release on the Bet365 platform, let’s take a look back at how the site has performed in its first 12 months of existence.

We’ll review the Bet 365 Vegas welcome bonus offer, take a look at what new games have been made available on the site as well as taking a look into our crystal ball to hint at what we’d like to see for the future for Bet365’s newest platform.

It’s fair to say that since its release 12 months ago, Bet365 Vegas has slotted in nicely alongside its sisters in the Bet365 family. Where Bet365 Casino offers games from Playtech and Bet365 Games  showcases games from Microgaming and other developers, Bet365 Vegas brought Bet365 customers the first chance to play a wide range (57 to be exact) NetEnt games upon release.

The site came about due to Bet365 striking a deal with NetEnt to offer a selection of its games as part of the Bet365 franchise. Hence, Bet365 Vegas was born and since that day twelve months ago, the site has gone from strength to strength.

Indeed, so successful has the site been that Bet365 have hardly tweaked any aspects of the site at all. Usually, if a new site is underperforming, a company will tweak its offers frequently to attract new customers.

However take up on Bet365 Vegas has been consistently steady since its release which means key promotions such as the site's New Player Offer, have remain unchanged since day one.  

Bet365 Vegas new player offer for UK players

Bet365 Vegas is one of the simplest to understand and accessible new player offers you can find on any Bet365 platform.

It is perhaps because of this that it has enjoyed swift uptake from existing Bet365 customers (who can access this offer provided they have no other bonuses active on their account from another Bet365 site) as well as the healthy influx of new customers.

The offer is very simple, make a deposit of at least £10 into your Bet365 Vegas account and Bet365 Vegas will reward you with a New Player Bonus of 100%, up to a maximum of £100.

To access the bonus, when you make your qualifying deposit, Bet365 will send you a code, which you can enter in to activate the bonus from the Members section of the Bet365 Vegas site.

All you need to do is play through your original deposit and when you do, Bet365 Vegas will allow you to use your bonus cash to play any of the games on the Bet365 Vegas site. It is worth remembering however that your bonus cash (plus your original deposit) is subject to a 20x playthrough requirement.

This means if you deposit £100 and receive the full £100 bonus, you need to play through 20 x £200 (£4000) before you can withdraw any money attributable to the bonus.

This is a very attractive and easy to follow new player offer and offers a double-your-money deal to all new players.

Bet365 Vegas games - what’s new?

When Bet365 Vegas was first released a year ago, there were a total of 57 different games available to play on the site. The majority of the games were slots, with 10 Casino/Table games also available and 10 other Arcade-style games to play too.

This was a relatively high number of games available on a new site and certainly helped Bet365 Vegas initial appeal with customers, but having said that, there were still one or two reservations about the games available on site, or rather what wasn’t available.

At the time of release, one of the major concerns reviewers had as the lack of big-name Film & TV Tie in games on the site, and perhaps more importantly, the lack of Progressive Jackpot slots, in particular a slot offering a big money prize.

Well, it didn’t take long for Bet365 Vegas to address those concerns.

First up, just a few months after going live, Bet365 Vegas announced that two of NetEnt’s most popular slots, South Park and the new release South Park Rolling Reels would be available on the Bet365 Vegas site. The hugely popular, and controversial, cartoon series certainly helped bring in those slot lovers who enjoy playing film and TV tie in games.

Shortly after that, the eagerly-awaited Aliens slot, based on the 1986 James Cameron directed epic, hit the casino. This fantastic new slot offers a host of features seldom seen on a slot before and retains all the action and suspense that made the original film such a huge hit.

However the biggest development in games on Bet365 Vegas this year has been the introduction of three key progressive slot games. Cosmic Fortune, Mega Fortune and Hall of Gods.

Given the immense popularity of progressive slot gaming, the lack of these games on Bet365 Vegas was a potentially thorny issue, however in this trio of games, which each offers a rapidly escalating progressive jackpot, Bet365 Vegas solved that problem.

Cosmic Fortune offers a smaller but more frequently won progressive jackpot usually in the tens of thousands, Mega Fortune offers a jackpot usually from several hundreds of thousand of pounds, whereas Hall of Gods progressive is usually well above the £1 million mark.

What this means is that Bet365 Vegas has a number of progressives which will attract any progressive slot fan to the site and that can only be a huge positive, when viewed alongside the many other high quality 71 games on the site currently.  

Bet365 Vegas - what would we like to see in the future?

What would we like to see for the future of Bet365 Vegas? Well, we’d like NetEnt to keep adding innovative games to the site for sure, we’d also like to see a few more progressive games made available, particularly in the Casino/Table games section.

We’d also like to see some new additions that push the boundaries of modern gaming, such as multi-player slots, multi-player progressive games and a few more high quality film and TV tie ins would also be welcome.

However the biggest change we’d like to see would be in the promotions offered on site. We’d like a few more promotions run throughout the year to reward loyal players on the site and to encourage new players to sign up.  That we feel is the next key step Bet365 Vegas needs to take.  

Bet365 Vegas one year on - the conclusion

After one very active and successful year in existence, Bet365 Vegas has progressed markedly over that 12-month period. The inclusion of some key new games and the continuing popularity of the site and its games with players means it is in a strong position to improve still further in its second year of existence and beyond.

There is real potential for Bet365 Vegas to develop into one of the finest casino/slot sites available in the UK today.
