Red Stag Casino Review

Online pokies and table games in Red Stag

The casino has around 170 pokies produced by a U.S. software developer, WGS. Their pokies are versatile in terms of reel configurations and features used. In the games lobby, a player can choose a tab with classic pokies that contains 25+ games with three reels such as Alien Invasion, Harbour Master and Luxury Liners. That said, about 15% of WGS pokies are classic ones, which is a great offer for fans of retro-styled games. Mind that you need to get registered first to access any casino game either for real money or for fun.

Visiting the reviewed casino, you will immediately notice that every online slot in the lobby has a slightly misleading Jackpot Max. mark with a dollar value attached. The dollar value means the maximum possible prize that a particular pokie can potentially produce. This is uncommon practice for online casinos to display maximum payouts directly in the lobby, on top of pokie icons and some gamblers would erroneously take these regular pokies for progressive ones.

Table games in Red Stag are represented by blackjack and roulette only, and, unfortunately, live table games have not been included in the casino’s offer so far. The table game solutions (all delivered by WGS) incorporate classic blackjack, Perfect Pairs blackjack, Progressive blackjack, European and American roulette, Downtown Vegas blackjack, Atlantic City blackjack, Vegas Strip blackjack, and so on.

Progressive pokies in Red Stag

Most pokie vendors have progressive games in their product portfolio and WGS is no exception because five or so of its pokies like Mine All Mine, Treasure Trail and Pay Dirt, are equipped with networked progressive jackpots, which are relatively small in size because neither has ever surpassed a million-dollar threshold. For a few years, WGS paid out around $2.7 m in progressives, according to publicly accessible statistics. The presence of progressive jackpots in Red Stag makes the gameplay very interesting for avid patrons, who certainly have the chance of winning big if playing for real money.

Red Stag welcome bonus

There are massive welcome bonuses, which are backed by generous free spins. Bonuses are granted automatically when you place the minimum of $25 but free spins are released on the condition the player contacts the support team via any official channel (email, chat, phone). The welcome package consists of bonuses on the first seven deposits, subject to a x30 turnover requirement each:

1. 275% match up to A$550 plus 100 spins on Dolphin Reef
2. 175% match up to A$350 plus 100 spins on Fat Cat
3. 100% match up to A$200 plus 50 spins on Funky Chicken
4. 175% match up to A$350 plus 50 spins on Cool Bananas
5. 100% match up to A$200 plus 25 spins on City of Gold
6. 150% match up to A$300 plus 25 spins on Cherry Blossoms
7. 275% match up to A$550 plus 150 spins on King Tiger.

Cashback as an alternative to welcome bonuses

New users are given a worthy alternative to an industry-standard welcome package, assuming none of the deposit bonuses has been made use of. Cashback also covers the first seven deposits and works as follows: if a player busts a deposit, he has 48 hours to claim 25% cashback that must then be played through on pokies x30 times. To claim cashback, the player needs to send a related message to the casino support team.

To summarize the welcome bonus program, it may be noted that Red Stag guys have done their utmost to treat first-time users to a rich choice of bonuses instead of giving them an ordinary deposit match like many other casinos do.

Red Stag bitcoin bonuses

Users of this cryptocurrency have a dedicated bonus package that encompasses the initial period of time after registration and continues as a routine bonus for everyday use. This offer is valid for bitcoiners only and bonuses can be played through on mobile and desktop:

Red Stag VIP Club and loyalty points for Australians

The VIP system and loyalty points (LPs) are basically the same as in other online casinos. The only staple is that VIP membership changes dramatically player’s access to bonuses, reload bonus percentage and many other aspects. One dollar bet on pokies adds 1 LP and 17,500 LPs are needed to progress from Beer Club level (the entry level granted to everyone after the first deposit) to Tequila Club, the next level up. Then follow Rum Club, Vodka Club, Whiskey Club and Champagne Club (the top tier), each requires progressively more LPs to advance. Every bonus gives certain benefits associated with Martini Cashback, Bloody Mary and other weekly bonuses. Besides, 1000 LPs are redeemable into A$1.

Red Stag mobile casino

The mobile casino website runs on an “m” subdomain and is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices. In the mobile version, Red Stag features 60+ pokies and 7 table games from WGS. All gaming content becomes active for registered users only. Visiting Red Stag on a mobile device opens new bonus prospects because the online casino features three stunning bonuses exclusively for mobile users:

2. 50 free spins on the classic one-line Lucky Irish pokie
3. 150% reload bonus plus 50 spins on the 5-reel 20-payline Fat Cat pokie.

Bottom line on Red Stag

This is one of the best and most popular online casinos for Australians. It features more than a handful of bonuses, heaps of tournaments and a full collection of WGS pokies, about 30% of which are compatible with mobile devices.
