About Slots 52

Slots 52 is one of the newer sites in the Jumpman portfolio, although to be honest, it doesn’t feel like a particularly modern platform. The design is simple to the point of being lacklustre. There’s a very basic purple backdrop and a slightly quirky logo font, and not a lot else to note. As with many of the Jumpman sites, it seems that very little effort has gone into design.

As with its sister sites, Slots 52 is operated on a UKGC licence for UK players, and a licence from Alderney – where Jumpman is headquartered – for overseas customers. At the foot of the home page, you’ll find the GoDaddy logo, verifying that the site’s SSL protocol has been certified, along with the logos of gambling charities GamStop and Be Gamble Aware and a link to the operator’s Jumpmancares.co.uk site, which is part of its responsible gaming platform.

Getting Started at Slots 52

The Slots 52 sign-up form is made up of three pages and it’s a streamlined process that takes less than a minute, although if you don’t want to wait that long and you have PayPal account, you can sign up through there in a matter of seconds. Choosing this option though commits you to making a deposit when you register, and it also means you can’t claim the Welcome Bonus.

If you sign up the standard way, you aren’t required to make a deposit, and you can delay verifying your identity until its time to make your first withdrawal, so unless you are particularly committed to using PayPal, that form of registration probably isn’t worth it.

New players who want to explore the game lobby will find it’s fairly basic. You can check out six categories, covering the basic slots, casino games, live games and bingo options, and that’s it. If you’re looking for games by a particular provider or with a certain level of RTP, you’ll be out of luck, and there’s no way to search through the Slingo, instant play or scratchcard options without knowing the name of the game you’re after.

Bingo at Slots 52

Given the name of the site, it isn’t a huge surprise that the bingo section is overshadowed by the slots catalogue. For intrepid bingo fans who click on that option, you’ll find an underwhelming collection of moderately busy bingo rooms.

Generally there are between 9 and 14 available rooms, ranging from 30-ball to 90-ball games, with wildly varying prize figures. If you want to play for the big prizes, you can find five-figure totals in the Heavyweight and Jackpot rooms, while there are some penny ticket options in the Zoom and Boombox rooms. You can also play a selection of ten mini games while you wait for the next bingo game to start, including Pirate Gold, Chilli Heat and Genie Wishes.

This is a small bingo platform, though the range and quality of games is solid, but the big disappointment is the lack of a social element. There are no chatrooms at Slots 52, and this detracts significantly from the bingo gaming experience.

If you want to explore the slots at Slots 52, you can browse through some additional categories. Megaways games have their own section, and there are some themed options including Fishing games and Ancient Egypt-inspired titles, but not much more than that. The search bar is of little use if you want to browse a developer’s games, and it’s also frustrating that there’s no information on the game icons, so there’s no way to check the RTP, minimum stake, maximum prize or any other details without launching the game.

It’s hard to know exactly how many slots games are on offer here, but we would estimate the total is well over 2,000, which is a good sized gaming catalogue. We found none of the major game developers were missing from the roster, so you should be able to find your favourite slots by Red Tiger, Microgaming, Inspired, Blueprint Gaming and Pragmatic Play.

Jackpot players have around 60 titles to choose from, though you won’t find any of the big progressives such as Mega Fortune here, and there’s around 50 table games, focused mainly on roulette and blackjack, as you’d expect. The live casino section is provided by Pragmatic Play and there were just under 70 games when we checked, most of them variants of roulette. Those who are prepared to persevere with the search bar may also find a handful of scratchcard and Slingo games, along with a few Sic Bo and Keno titles and a couple of game shows.

Other Things To Consider

Most of the Jumpman sites are heavily slots-focused these days, and the only significant difference between some of them is whether their main bonus is called the Mega Wheel or the Mega Reel. It’s the latter option here, and the trophy gamification feature is focused on winning bonus spins on classic slot title Starburst.  The trophy element is one of the better aspects of Jumpman sites, and the accumulation of trophy icons evokes the feel of a video game site, which will be a positive for players who mix their casino and video gaming.

Beyond the basic welcome promotion, there are regular and semi-regular promotions, including twice daily spins of the Rewards Reel, the 200 Club (for those who earn 200 trophies), Turbo Wheel and a weekly Happy Hours deal that can award bonus spins every Wednesday.

There’s no mobile app to download with Slots 52, which is standard for modern sites, so mobile players can access the site through their standard browser, and we didn’t come across any issues with accessing the full range of games and account features through mobile. We also found no evidence of any significant loading time issues.

One area of clear potential improvement is customer support. There’s no support option via the home page and the blue Support button does not appear until you click on the Help link at the foot of the page. More clicking is required to open the basic web contact form, and we were unable to find any email, telephone or proper live chat option. There is an FAQ section but it doesn’t go beyond the basics and will be of minimal use for any complex or unusual query.

Final Thoughts

Some of the sites in the Jumpman family can be criticised for not doing justice to the bingo element of their platform, but that’s not a fair criticism to aim at Slots 52. In fact, compared to the standard online slots site, bingo fans are well served here.

There’s a good selection of slots games, the gamification elements work well and the site certainly feels like a slick modern gaming platform. Still, to get the most out of Slots 52, you have to overlook the half-hearted design, user-unfriendly navigation system and lack of proper customer support, which is likely to continue to limit the site’s appeal.
