2019 is just around the corner now and we’re excited to see what Casinos will deliver.

2019 New Casino Trends

In 2019, there won’t be as many new casinos opening. We’re heading into the other side of the boom now. Which also means less and less casinos will be closing which is welcomed news. You will see the majority of new casinos opening will already have a brand in existence. Such as the Ivy Group, they’re behind Spin Rider, Spin Station and many more. I always think it’s a good thing, they have a tried and tested model which players love. One of the more latest releases is Rockstar Reels and they were created by the same guys behind Casino Heroes.

2019 Casino Bonuses

Casino bonuses will remain low during 2019. You’ll continue to see bonuses around the 50%, 100% and 200% mark. With 200% being the highest around to be honest with you. The occasions you’ll see higher bonuses is when it’s part of a package, for example 1st Deposit Bonus is 100% and the 2nd Deposit Bonus is 200%. On our bonus page we do state whether the bonus shown is a 1st deposit bonus or part of a package, I know it can get a bit confusing at times, hence why we compare the casino sites for you.

2019 Jackpots

Jackpots are in another league and will saw through the clouds in 2019. Last month history was made when the Mega Moolah jackpot was won at over £18 million. It’s been a few years since NetEnts Mega Fortune was the record breaking slot jackpot. I expect NetEnt will pull it out the bag somehow and create something epic to compete in the world of online jackpots. I think we will see a few more online jackpot slots consolidate into another mega online jackpot slot game.Happy 2019 everyone!
