Lucky 247 Casino

True to its name, Lucky 247 is a non-stop operation providing a complete suite of Microgaming casino games for Kiwi players, with an active line-up of promotions and events going forward. Choose from more than 500 pokies and table games for the platform of your choice, including PC download and Instant Play no-download options.  Progressive jackpot pokies are where Lucky 247 really stands out, offering no less than 16 titles, promising multi-million-dollars payouts to the fortunate.

Welcome Bonus

The introductory offer at Lucky 247 gives players a combination of a deposit match bonus with free spins, while there is another welcome bonus that players in the mobile casino can access.

• 100% match bonus (up to $250) on 1st deposit + 50x free spins on Jurassic Park
• 25% match bonus (up to $150) on 2nd deposit
• 50% match bonus (up to $100) on 3rd deposit

To receive the full $500 bonus, deposits totalling $1050 need to be made. This gives an overall match bonus of 47% and can grow your initial bankroll to $1550. This is a very good match rate, with the offer being further improved with the addition of 50x free spins on Jurassic Park that are also part of the package. (The minimum deposit required to receive any of the match bonuses is $20.) The wagering requirement at Lucky 247 is 40x, slightly higher than the average of online casinos that we recommend, but pokies do contribute to this 100% which adds further value. Table game players also get a slightly better deal than they might elsewhere:

• 100%—online pokies and parlour games
• 50%—table poker (except Texas Hold ‘em), red dog, casino war and sic bo
• 10%—blackjack (except classic), craps, baccarat, rouletteand Texas Hold ‘em
• 2%—classic blackjack, video poker

Players who sign up for a new account in the mobile casino can also get the same introductory bonus alongside a separate offer. This more straightforward welcome bonus gives players a 100% match on a first deposit (up to $250), as well as a no deposit bonus of $7.77 which you can play with on setting up an account but before you add any funds. The wagering requirement on the mobile casino offer is 30x, which is more in line with the majority of our recommended casinos. The introductory offers at Lucky 247 are therefore well designed for pokies players. The main site welcome bonus of a $500 deposit match combined with 100x free spins naturally has appeal, as does the fact that being able to unlock the full bonus is likely to be within the reach of many. However, the additional offer at the mobile casino requires even less of an initial investment, and so pokies players with any size of bankroll should be able to find a suitable bonus at Lucy 247.

Latest release Microgaming pokies also appear in the mobile casino and so players can enjoy the newest games such as Game of Thrones (243 ways to win) and Ariana as well.

Banking

New Zealand players have a good range of options when it comes to payment methods at Lucky 247. These include pre-paid Ukash vouchers, Skrill and Neteller e-wallets, iDeal and POLi electronic fund transfer systems, Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards, and direct bank transfer. In order to make a withdrawal, you are required to supply Lucky 247 with a withdrawal method that is controlled by a bank. You don’t need to make your deposits using this method, but this is the account to which your withdrawals will credited if you use a deposit method that does not enable you to receive funds e.g., Ukash. However, Lucky 247 will wherever possible credit withdrawals to the same account from which you make your deposits. You will also be required to provide identification before a withdrawal request can be completed in the form of a photo ID document (e.g., passport or driver’s licence) and a document confirming your address (e.g., bank statement or utility bill, no more than 2 months old). Most withdrawals take between 1-2 working days for e-wallets and 3-5 working days for other methods to process, and it should be noted that withdrawals are not processed on weekends.

Conclusion

As a site dedicated to pokies players, there is much to recommend Lucky 247. The range of Microgaming pokies is extensive, and includes a greater selection of 3 reel pokies, less well-known games and progressive jackpot pokies than many other comparable online casinos. The welcome bonus is a good one for pokies players and while the wagering requirement is a little higher than average, pokies contributing to this 1:1 improves the overall value.
