myVEGAS Slots Review: Real Hotel and Dining Comps From Free Play, but Few Published Prices
myVEGAS is a free slots app that pays out in comps, not cash: hotel nights, buffets and shows. We checked what earns the points, how the tiers work and why the biggest question, what a reward costs, goes unanswered.
Our verdict
myVEGAS is a good free slots app with an unusual extra: loyalty points earned by playing, redeemable for real resort perks such as hotel nights and buffets. The rewards are comps, not cash, tied mainly to MGM properties, and the point price of each one sits inside the app. Play it for fun and treat any reward as a bonus, never as a reason to buy chips.
Best for: Free-slot fans who plan Vegas trips and want comps without paying
- Price
- Free to play; in-app purchases
- Operator
- PLAYSTUDIOS
What we liked
- Points come from gameplay, and reviewers say no purchase is needed to earn them
- Rewards include hotel nights, buffets and shows at MGM resorts, per the app listing
- Free bonus chips every 2 hours and a large welcome chip bonus
- Licensed branded slots such as Wheel of Fortune and Bridesmaids
- App Store rating of 4.6 from over 200,000 ratings
What held it back
- Point prices for rewards are not published outside the app
- Rewards are travel comps, not cash, and need you to use them at a resort
The question with myVEGAS is simple: do the rewards justify the hours? Our answer is yes, if you were going to play free slots anyway, and no if you think of it as a way to earn travel. The app is free, the chips are fake, and the comps are real, but the price of each comp is hidden in the app and the sources we read could not give one. We worked from the App Store listing, the myvegas.com landing page and an outside myVIP guide. We did not install the app or redeem a reward for this piece.
What you are actually playing
myVEGAS Slots is a social casino app from PLAYSTUDIOS, listed on the App Store since November 2013 and rated 4.6 from 202,252 ratings. There is no real-money gambling. The listing says plainly that the app is for entertainment purposes only and offers in-app purchases. The website, myvegas.com, is little more than a log-in page asking you to sign in and wait for the game to load, so judge the product by the app.
The listing promises a welcome bonus of 5,000,000,000 chips and free bonus chips every 2 hours. Chip counts at that scale mean little by themselves. What matters is how long a session lasts before the bonus runs out, and that depends on your bet size.
The slots: licensed brands and in-house machines
The listing names Wheel of Fortune, Bridesmaids, The Munsters and Shaquille O'Neal slots, plus titles from KONAMI and AINSWORTH such as Lotus Land and Chili Chili Fire. You can also walk a 3D Las Vegas Strip and visit virtual resorts. Tournaments and weekly events add competition, and the headline event is the World Tournament of Slots, with 500 seats and a final in the Bahamas.
If you like recognisable brands, this is a stronger library than most free apps offer. The machines behave like slot games: you tap, spin and watch the bonus rounds.
