Hyper Casino

In their promo materials, Hyper Casino position themselves as the most energetic casino on the market. Whether true or not, one thing is crystal clear: This brand-new gambling venue offers tons of fresh and classic pokies from leading software brands such as NetEnt, iSoftBet and Microgaming. Along with welcome bonuses, reload bonuses and other promos, the casino features tournaments and a compelling kind of activity named as Pokie Challenge – a unique kind of events aimed at one single pokie and offering unique prizes for hitting a special combo or bonus in that pokie. Hyper Casino is supported by most mobile devices so feel free to visit it on your iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone smartphone/tablet.

General description

Black colors, few graphics and short texts are the first things you see in the casino. The casino uses the minimalism beautifully, thus providing faster loading times, yet some exacting users may find it a bit irritating to read white text on black background. Anyway, the casino’s design stands out.

Payment options are typical for the New Zealand igaming market. In Hyper Casino, you will find a typical set of credit cards, ewallets and bank transfer methods that you are used to seeing in most online casinos. Deposit limits do apply and they depend on the selected method. Withdrawal limits are set by the casino and they are $10 as the minimum one-time transaction (a very friendly limit, in fact) and $5000 as the maximum daily transaction, with progressive jackpot earnings excluded from that rule.

The casino gives you a head start by allowing for a kind of sandbox mode for fun. You may click on any pokie icon and try the game for fun. Registration is not mandatory but if you want to become a casino’s client and enjoy all the associated benefits, you need to create an account and place the minimum deposit of $20 (New Zealand dollars are accepted as one of casino’s currencies).

Bonuses in Hyper Casino

Every new player is given a warm handshake with two welcome bonuses: a 100% first bonus up to $100 and a 50% second bonus up to $200. Each is unlocked after the player makes a qualifying deposit of $10. The maximum stake while the bonus is activated cannot be higher than $5. The playthrough value for either bonus is x45. New Zealanders are one of the few happy gamblers who are allowed to claim the welcome package because the majority of countries are on the excluded list.

Slot of the Week is another whopping activity that pokie fans are going to duly appreciate. Every week, the online casino picks one 5-reel or 3-reel pokie and makes it a featured game of the week. Depositing $50 and entering code WINBIG, the player receives 50 free spins on that pokie. Winnings derived from free spins have to be played through 45 times within a week since activation.

The casino features unique tournament formats that are like no other. In most casinos, you just keep on playing for as long as possible to score points and thus progress on the winners table. In the reviewed casinos, tournaments are given a creative twist. For example, during one month, the casino picks a dozen featured games. The participating players should make at least 100 spins on any of those pokies and try to win as much as possible on any given spin. Top 10, 15 or 20 players who hit the highest multiplier wins (e.g., $100 on a $2 bet, or a multiplier of x50) are declared winners and get a portion of the prize pool that normally goes beyond $1000.

Another similar activity that involves only one pokie is called the Hyper Challenge. A player spins the reels of a featured pokie and wins a bonus reward ($100 or so) if hitting a certain multiplier (e.g., x20). The winning is subject to a small playthrough requirement. A featured game is replaced every month.

Online pokies

There are three sections in which pokies are located: Video Slots (5-reelers), Slots (3-reelers) and Jackpot (games with progressive jackpots). All games come from numerous high-ranked providers including NetEnt, Microgaming, High 5 Games, Blueprint Gaming, Novomatic, BigTime Gaming, Thunderkick, NYX, Scientific Gaming and ELK Studios. The only downside to the pokies is they are not listed in alphabetical order, let alone some filters or sorting options. You cannot even arrange the list by vendor.

Nevertheless, the pokie collection is nearly perfect as it comprises high-quality solutions from leading igaming vendors. Games that are offered in Hyper Casino have lots of exciting bonus features like wilds, scatters, multipliers, stacked symbols and enticing bonus games with healthy cash prizes. Another advantage of the game content is availability of both real-money gaming and practice mode. Progressive pokies are represented mainly by Microgaming’s titles like Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune, Hall of Gods, Arabian Nights and Treasure Nile.
