The Grand Ivy

The site has manged to appear quite grand and has a quality, professional design. It’s not overly busy and, whilst there is a lot of information on the home page, it’s been prioritised well, giving the games the opportunity to do the talking. The layout is pretty standard and easy to navigate, making The Grand Ivy an enjoyable place to spend some gaming time.

Bonuses and Promotions

The welcome offer is a pretty nice three stager, with a mix of bonus funds and free spins up for grabs. Your first deposit of £20 or more will get a 100% bonus up to £300 and 25 free Starburst spins, your second will get a 25% bonus up to £800 and 50 free Aloha Cluster Pays spins and your third deposit will get you a 50% bonus up to £400 and 25 free Gonzo’s Quest spins. The wagering requirement isn’t too bad, at 35 times the bonus amount, although you do need to achieve this within 30 days. There’s a maximum bet in place of £5 and free spins winnings are capped at £100. As is usually the case, not all games contribute equally to the wagering, so make sue you check out the terms before you play.

Summary/Verdict

The Grand Ivy Casino hasn’t been around that long, but it does have a few years behind it, as well as an incredibly experienced parent company. It’s a well designed site, which is easy to use and has all its ducks in a row.

The welcome offer is a great combination of free spins and bonuses and covers your first three deposits, the terms are pretty standard too. There are some great offers available on the site from time to time, so it’s not all about new players.

There’s a good choice of games, slots are incredibly well covered, the table games section is smaller, but there’s still a great choice of games.  All the games can be accessed on mobile and seem to work well, including the live casino.

Customer service is available 24/7 by live chat, which is great, but it is a shame there’s no telephone support available.

The Grand Ivy has a lot going for it and is well worth some time to check out, especially if you’re looking for a huge range of slots.
