This Is Vegas Casino review

The Vegas-themed entry in the Rival group, positioned at higher stakes than its siblings.

This Is Vegas is the Rival group's classic-casino brand, leaning on table games and a Las Vegas aesthetic where its siblings lead on slots. The presentation is aimed at a slightly higher-stakes player than Cocoa or Paradise 8, though the platform underneath is identical.

Best for

  • Players who want the Vegas table-game aesthetic
  • Higher-stakes play within the Rival catalogue
  • Crypto depositors

Watch out for

  • Higher positioning does not mean better terms
  • Same group and platform as four other brands we list

Positioning is not the same as product

Casino groups differentiate their brands by theme and tone because it is cheap to do and it works — the same lobby, restyled, reads as a different class of establishment. This Is Vegas is positioned as the more grown-up option in its group.

Underneath, it is the same Rival Gaming catalogue on the same infrastructure as Slots Capital, DaVinci's Gold, Paradise 8 and Cocoa Casino. A more expensive-looking shopfront does not bring better withdrawal terms, a stronger licence or a larger game library with it.

Judge it on its terms and its promotions, not on the styling.

Table games in a slots market

The emphasis on tables is genuinely a little unusual for this region, where almost everything is marketed as slots-first. If blackjack and roulette are what you actually want to play, that emphasis is worth something.

Be aware of two things, though. Rival's table games are software-dealt, not live — for genuine live dealer you need an operator running a specialist studio, which our live dealer guide covers.

Who it suits

Live dealer players should look elsewhere.
