Review of Slots.lv
Slots.lv is an online casino that, in an unusual twist, offers its casino games exclusively to American and Canadian punters only. The casino is an offshoot of the popular gambling sites Bodog and Bovada, and shares a common operations team and Latvian domain extension that is apparently meant to infer that it is associated with Las Vegas.
Software and game selection
As the name suggests, Slots.lv Casino revolves around their online slots. There are a couple hundred different games for punters to try their luck at, with slots from Realtime Gaming, Spinomenal, and Rival Gaming being offered, among other providers. In addition there are many original in-house developed titles that can only be found at casinos within the Bovada family of sites, such as 777 Deluxe, Chillin' Penguins and CyberPunk City. 
An interesting point to note is that Slots.lv uses the same source code for the RTG slots that Bovada and Bodog utilise. This means that you can play the RTG games that Bodog got when it licensed a copy of RTG's code over a decade ago, but none of the newer RTG games released since.
There are a series of several dozen progressive jackpot machines, which are pooled amongst all the casinos in the Bovada group. The prizes in these games range from several hundred to several million dollars, allowing you the chance to hit some really hefty wins. As mentioned earlier, the Bovada group run their own copy of RTG games, so the jackpots on the RTG progressives at these casinos are different to all the other generic RTG casinos. It is worth comparing the current jackpots with our jackpots tracker as in some cases you can play the same game elsewhere for a higher potential jackpot.
In terms of Vegas style table games, Slots.lv has a decent enough collection for a slots focused site. Casino staples such as Blackjack, Caribbean Stud, Three Card Poker, Roulette, and Craps are all here for you to play, as are some table games that may be less-known to the North American crowd, like Teen Patti and Andar Bahar. Slots.lv offers a select few live dealer games that cover the table game classics. You are able to launch a session of Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, or Super 6, with your preferred dealer running the show.
Video poker is another option at Slots.lv, as there are four different types of video poker games that provide a range in volatility to suit different levels of risk tolerance. Within two of the four games, you can choose to play one hand per round, three hands per round, or 10 hands, making it easy to progress to a more complex game as you improve your video poker skills.
Banking and Customer Support
If there is a downside to Slots.lv, it is the limited ways to deposit and withdraw money from the casino, which will no doubt be familiar to the site's American customers. Deposits can be made via Visa-branded credit and debit cards, Mastercard, and American Express. Canadian customers have the additional options of using Interac or direct bank transfers. The casino is very bullish on cryptocurrency though, and they encourage their customers to transact via Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Ethereum if possible.
Different limits are imposed on deposits and withdrawals depending on the method. For example, with DBTs, a minimum of $50 must be deposited, and up to three withdrawals can be made each week. After a DBT withdrawal is authorized, it takes approximately three to five business days to come through. It's a bit quicker than requesting your payout via check by courier, which takes four to seven business days, and Bank Wire, which takes five to ten business days. Using cryptocurrency reduces the wait times considerably, making it possible to get paid in an hour after the withdrawal is authorised.
Customer Support at Slots.lv is very friendly and knowledgeable, and can be reached 24/7 through telephone or email. While I would like to see an instant message option added, I can state that our customer service rep was quick in getting back to me with in a couple of hours, and answered my questions about a bonus to my satisfaction.
Safety, security, and responsible gambling
I found that traffic was protected via SSL encryption at all times while browsing, registering, and playing at the casino. This means that your personal and financial information is protected from interception while crossing the Internet.
Slots.lv holds a license to operate an online casino from Curaçao eGaming, which is one of four "master licensors" from the tiny Caribbean island jurisdiction that are famous for allowing just about anyone who stumps up the cash to buy a license and then leaving them to do as they please. So as we always advise at Casino Listings, consider any Curacao licensed casino to be effectively unregulated. There is no official dispute resolution procedure, and no official third party mediator that can be involve should you have a dispute with the casino. All that being said, the track record of the operator of this casino is good, and it has a long history of being reliable and paying its winners with minimal fuss.
Perhaps not surprising for an effectively unregulated casino, it must be said that Slots.lv does the bare minimum when it comes to handling responsible gambling. There is the usual page warning you not to let your gambling get out of control but, unlike most modern regulated casinos, there are no controls in your account that you can use to limit your activity. Instead you need to contact their customer support if you want to place a deposit or wager limit, or self exclude from the site.
Conclusion
Slots.lv has a few really good things going for it, and its management has proved to be capable and reliable over a number of years running both Bodog and Bovada. It should definitely be on the shortlist of any American based players out there. However it does have enough drawbacks to keep it from being a fantastic casino. If the casino can keep adding to the large amount of games and improve on the banking system, this may end up being a premier online casino for our friends in North America.

Love this Site and the way I already won big twice and now that I'm getting a bonus for the 5th time they are going to be coming back out with a new game soon too

Do not use this casino I warn you against j myself play ignition and bovada so I figured I'd give them a try also. Terrible idea I hit a 500 dollar progressive on Caribbean Texas hold em and they would not pay out. The chat help even said he found the hand and sees that I won the jackpot for 4 of kind I had 4 jacks and was betting the progressive jackpot spot but yet they failed to pay me.

Apparently Slots.LV is associated with Bovada. They offer the same games but no poker or sportsbook. I really enjoy the slots on these sites and are fun to play. It was easy to deposit with bitcoin and had no issue. Also like the amount of bonus's they offer when you sign up. If you like playing on Bovada then you should try out this site.

Slots.LV is another casino associated with Bovada, Ignition and Cafe Casino. They offer good bonus's when you sign up but if you win too much they will take those away from you. I don't play on this site anymore because a couple months ago they sent me an email saying I could no longer use deposit bonus's or accrue reward points. Overall the site has good variety of slots, blackjack and video poker games. In the past I would request a bitcoin withdrawal and get it exactly 72 hours later. Not sure if that still applies but either way you're gonna have to wait to get your money. I mainly used bitcoin and never had an issue.

I think a lot can be said for a casino not only who pays but does so in an acceptable amount of time. I think we all know that slots.lv is a sister site of bovada and iginition casinos, the only real difference is no poker or sportsbook. I read people having issues with some of these sites, but still has yet to be my experience, my girlfriend cashed out for $800 a couple of weeks back, will say that it did take them the quoted time to process the payment and at the 72 hour mark we called and they apologized for the delay and released payment. Simple quick and easy compared to a lot of other places around the net. I think its great to see a site with the variety of games like slots.lv which actually does something almost 95% of the sites out there don't do very well - pay your winnings. So I would strongly endorse and would like to thank, sure sometimes it can feel like the games are stacked against you. I hear people talking about that their games don't seem to hit like other casinos, however, if I may offer some advise and a trend I see from frequent playing. Some games seem more like timing at certain games being better some of the times than others. So if you are playing and your game isn't hitting, well, log off and try it again a little later in the day. I seem to have friends who play and play just to lose lose lose, and I say, if you let them they don't make losing all that hard. However, if you want to play smart with your money and play someplace which actually evens the playing field, really slots.lv is perfect, cafecasino their sister site has a lot of bonuses, or checking out bovada which just started offering live dealers and still have poker a good place to invest yourself.
A wide variety of slots, just as you would come to expect from a place called slots.lv. I think a fair and pretty consistent payout which I have experienced through their sister sites, but have seen first hand makes them a strong choice when it comes down to where you should pick to play online. Once you get over the threshold for their bonus program, its actually fair and descent. Speaking with their customer service, when needed, is friendly, easy. The most important thing is that they do pay, sure people have their stories about things that have happened, but what matters more than anything else is paying out, and slots.lv does, so check them out.

This is a scam the slots are rigged it only lets you get a small % above your initial deposit totals before you hit an invisible ceiling. It then will automatically have you lose each time after. I tested this theory with a few deposits. Each time same thing you win a little above what you deposit early and then once you hit that ceiling boom don’t expect to win again. Bovada which is essentially like this site use to be more legit in their slot machines nowadays they have put hard levers on these slots.

yeah being in USA its basically a crap shoot trying to win money in the COMFORT of your own home I am a harsh grader. and im also a VIP member whatever that means at Planet7 Casino which has turned into a shit show. i did cash out Last year 2016 $2278 dollars off of a 25 dollar deposit but that was basically just some money back. I would say i was definitely still in the red when in comes to luck at quality USA aka Costa Rica Online Casinos. the nice thing is with SLots.LV the user interface, as well as the 3 day period before payout in multiple forms....someone earlier in a review complained about that and i had to call 17 times and got my winnings about a month later. so 3 days isnt bad... anyway i am drawn to slots.lv due to its interface and professionality (seemingly) but i have never cashed out any money and spend a few grand....i guess i wasn't playing the right games right?! lol F-IT its just money. I did get my freind hooked on slots.lv and he only played aladdin on mobile and would win thousands in bonus's and burn through it in the same night. sad he had a kid and lost it all.

Bovada, Slots,lv, CafeCasino, and Ignition must be avoided like the plague. At least if you burn your money you get a few moments of heat. This network will do everything in their power to lure you in with huge bonuses and once they do... Good luck winning, and if you do they will figure out a way to steal it from you. I personally was robbed and harassed by this network to levels I wouldn't wish on my mortal enemies.
There are some threads here about people getting jerked off, check them out for fun instead giving them $

Slots.lv is a pretty solid online casino with a few drawbacks.
The Good
Slots.lv offers lots of games and is pretty reliable when it comes to withdrawals -- I've never had any issues getting my money. They seem fairly honest, even removing Betsoft games when the "Glam Life" debacle went down and Betsoft refused to pay a massive progressive (on another site, not Slots.lv).
They have tons of games with progressives, big and small. The website is pretty functional and lets you view your bonus progress/balance without leaving your game. Bitcoin withdrawals are fee-free.
The Bad
Most of the games are dated. For example, they only have the old games from Real Time Gaming -- none of the new ones. They h ave a bunch of Rival games too.
My biggest complaint about Slots.lv is the unnecessary 72 hour withdrawal time. Even if you're taking a Bitcoin withdrawal, they will sit on your cashout request for at LEAST 72 hours (usually a few hours more) and then process your withdrawal. In the meantime that money will sit in your account tempting you to keep playing (they don't remove funds from your account upon cashout request like other casinos).

I gave this casino a try, thinking I should get that $100 bitcoin bonus, play, lose then split. I enjoyed their casino a bit much, I ended up depositing a couple more times and cleaned up their January no deposit promos. A bit strict on their no deposit promos, which is not always a bad thing. The cashout can be instantly and no charge with bitcoin and standard delivery times with courier check and money transfer. Couple things that they didn't have are live dealers and tournaments which is most common to bitcoin/hybrid casinos. That's why I only give 'em a 4 stars.

You are correct. Slots.lv is a sister site to Bovada, so they both have the same systems and the service is almost certainly run by the same people.

Unlike the Club World RTG casinos, at this casino you do have to bet max to have a chance at the jackpots. This is one reason I like RTG - I have actually won (a long time ago now) two minor jackpots betting only 50 cents and 88 cents per spin. I would not have a chance like that playing in this casino.
I did try the free chip, and it is fun playing some of the "new to me" games. I did best on the Fun House game and hit the bonus round a few others but came out with only a few bucks on each bonus round. There are many choices - so many that it was difficult to end my session, because I kept trying out "just one more." I held my own for a while - at least the 22 dollars let me play a while, but I am now down to about ten bucks.
I like that I don't have to download another casino into my computer. I have not used customer service, but I am sure it would be equal to Bovada.

Slots.lv,
My view and take on the Casino, which runs some RTG software, and the BETSOFT - platform..This one is
the best I would say in any software, the game I do good on is the Good or bad devil - angel one, the bonus
round awarded me alot, of course it was a free bonus play: slotslv44, was the code at the time, and I should have known better to ask them if I could use another code?..Almost all these online casino will not at all
offer another free play in them within the same hour or day!.
Slots.lv, to me is the practical mirror of Bodog/ Bovada sites, in that they look all to the same and smell and
feel the same if you catch my drift:). The funding aspect to the Bovada Site, is something I care less for because they use mirror sites in Beijing- And Taiwan. Knowing all to well Betting/ Gambling is strickly illegal
at the most part in China- Asia....Getting around these sites with the Server aspect which ping from one to
another is something they seem to do like alot of the HOST NET GAme Sites...
User friendly wise this Casino has good 24-7 feedback and customer service aspect to them:) I would recommend this to anyone really, but by far the games here are much faster and don't go slow like some other TOP GAME sites to say the least....

Another new to me casino. See what happens when one is away so long? I might have to check this free chip out simply to try the games. I do like Bovada, although mainly for poker not slots.
Great review Kylie. I am a fan of Slots.lv as well as its sister site Bovada. With that being said, I generally prefer to stick with Bovada thanks to its sportsbetting and horse racing options.
I do like the BetSoft games here though, as I feel they are much better than the RTG slots that most US friendly casinos offer (though you will find the RTG games here as well).
I have never had an issue with getting money from Bovada, and would expect that the monthly free check would come in the same week or so time period.

This is my review of slots.lv casino. I've deposited here many times and I really enjoyed the pleasant layout of the casino lobby and the comfort of knowing that it was an online casino backed by an actual land based casino as well. The play on slots was hit or miss although I do believe i cashed out of here once with $200.00 dollars (I had deposited way more than that so it was due), The check came within the time line they said it would although it wasnt very fast. I think from request to check in hand it took about 2 weeks. The thing I do not like about this casino is that instead of offering their bonuses on a more "loyalty based" case, they tend to try to milk hundreds out of you for very very small free chips. Promotions to me should be something you've earned and are valued by being given, not something you should be "allowed" to work even harder towards. They dont offer any type of birthday bonus but again my preference in casinos are the ones that if I deposit ..I would like a little treat now and then. Support when contacted wasnt ever unfriendly but they didnt seem very enthused either. My conclusion is that this is a very reputable casino you're safe at this one but you may not win like you were hoping to. Everyones experience is different!!! I guess you'll have to try to find out!!!

I ended up giving this casino a try after I read about them on Casino Listings. I have used Bovada for years, and the fact that the same people own Slots.lv made me feel confident that this is a legit casino and that I would have no problems getting my money in and out of the cashier.
The casino games are all very nice, as Slots.lv is powered by BetSoft and RTG, which offers a good sized library of games to Americans. If you have not given BetSoft titles a chance, I recommend that you do so immediately. They are better than almost all of the RTG games out there, and you can feel a little bit of the goodness that our European friends get to play every day.
There are also several great table games, and I was able to play craps on a pretty impressive run as well as getting my groove on in Caribbean Stud Poker, which I really had a lot of fun on.
Banking is about the same as Bovada though, as there are limited deposit and withdrawal options, and I find the fees to deposit and withdraw money to be very high. Still, my deposit through my Visa card was accepted, and I was able to pull a check out of the casino, which arrived at my house about 10 days after I requested it.
I think that Slots.lv is a good online casino that should be very stable in the future as it is owned by the same people who run Bovada. There are some great games here, which makes up for the lack of banking options.
