Welcome to Online Casinos Vegas, a free slot games site inspired by my trips to Las Vegas. On "OCV" (as I prefer to call it!) you'll be able to play games like IGT's popular Cleopatra slot, one of my own favorites Pharaoh's Fortune and the IGT Tumbling Reels slot game, Davinci Diamonds, all of which you'll probably be familiar with from the gaming floors of Las Vegas casinos and beyond. With a little creative tweaking on my part, you can play these slots online in your Internet browser with no registration required here on the OCV website! I've pulled in various Vegas casino classics from IGT and Aristocrat along with some slots that are well-known elsewhere including games from Novomatic, Barcrest and Playtech, so just click your favourite slot from the list below and start playing.


Some of my favorite Vegas-style slots that you can play online here at OCV include themed Elvis slots, the very popular land-based Wolf Run slot and the aforementioned classic, Cleopatra. Besides IGT games, I have also put up a selection of other slot games from dedicated online casino software providers like Microgaming and Playtech, some of which easily rival the slot machines you see in Vegas casinos.

Unfortunately for USA players, because IGT do not accept US residents for real money play right now, a number of their games cannot be played online - here or anywhere else for that matter. But there are exceptions: the Cleopatra slot and Pharaohs Fortune games can be played for fun by everyone here on the OnlineCasinosVegas.com website.

Those players who can access all the other IGT slot games here might want to look out for the Multiway slots like Treasures of Troy or the familiar Cluedo and Monopoly games. Among the best online-only slot games here are the incredibly popular Thunderstruck slot and what has to be my favorite eye-candy: Playtech's Gladiator slot. The game-play has expanding scatters too (pinched from Novomatic's Book Of Ra I'd hazard a guess!), a feature which I have grown to love!


Many of the slots above are exclusive to online casinos although I have seen a 'kiosk' version of some of the Microgaming slot games at a trade show, so you never know - they may crop up across Nevada yet! It hopefully goes without saying that most of the IGT Slots on OCV are online ports of land-based casino games that you probably know already. There are a couple of exceptions like their version of the Star Trek slot (based on the movie and not to be confused with WMS's land-based licence) but generally all the IGT games are online versions of land-based slots.

In addition to all the slot machines, I've added a handful of classic games which you can play by clicking the games in the panel below. As you may have gathered, card games are not the main focus at OCV but these might provide a break from the routine and if nothing else, show you how online versions of popular casino games are played. The two video poker games are fun - Spin Poker is my "game of choice" when I stay in Vegas and Multistrike Video Poker is another game that I love.

The Inspiration Behind OCV

Unsurprisngly perhaps, a trip to the Vegas casinos themselves provided the inspiration for the Online Casinos Vegas slots site back in 2006. I stayed at the Golden Nugget, downtown, on Fremont Street but I spent most of my time playing at the Wynn Casino on the Strip and I've since been back in 2009, staying this time at the excellent Encore Hotel, sister to the Wynn. Being a slots and video poker enthusiast, the Multi-Strike Video Poker games - along with the two Cleopatra slots - grabbed most of my money, so when I got home I decided it would be fun to set up a website featuring free play versions of popular slots that cross the divide between the casinos of Las Vegas and online casinos.

Las Vegas and Online Casinos

It is worth noting one interesting development when it comes to the topic of Las Vegas and the perhaps obvious tie-in with the world of online casinos. Until recently, because of murky US laws, no Vegas casino has wanted to risk the online market. But at the end of 2009 we finally saw Harrahs taking the plunge, launching the first Las Vegas casino online albeit only for the UK market. Whether this will pave the way for more Las Vegas casinos to follow suit, we shall have to wait and see but as 2011 progresses it's looking likely to happen at some stage.

As far as the UK goes, all the bookmakers now have an online casino and a number of slot games that you find over here, such as the popular Kitty Glitter slot are now available at several of these. You will see a list of who has what on each slot game page.

...and finally

So the OCV website is my shrine to the slots of Vegas! All the games on the site can be played for free here with no download and no registration requirement. I should extend my thanks to IGT for agreeing to allow me to hack in and include some of their online slot games in free-play mode for you to enjoy. I'm also hoping that WMS do the same at some point as I'd love to bring you some of the popular WMS slot games now that they have started to bring them online through their Jackpot Party site (but it is UK only right now though).

I hope you enjoy the slots here at OCV and don't forget to bookmark the site (or better still, sign up to the newswire) to catch up with new Vegas slots as they come online. To wrap up, if you are looking for a selection of online casinos to play then I'd recommend the online casino guide over at G&C which is a long established site with lots of information on slots and casinos.

Vegas Casinos (Land Based)
The OCV site deals pretty much exclusively with online casinos and games. If you are looking for land-based stuff then I'd recommend the reviews of Vegas casinos at usacasinos.net, mainly because I contributed some of them. The site goes well beyond Vegas covering other areas like Lake Tahoa, Biloxi, AC and other popular casino locations.
