Your first view at the Vegas Hero site is of a gent who looks a bit like boxing commentator Max Kellerman doing a superhero landing outside of the Vegas Strip. You might jump high enough to crack the pavement yourself once you see what's in store for you here!

Vegas Hero is trying to quickly build a player base by offering superior welcome and VIP bonuses. They are also betting big on the no-download experience, making their full roster of games playable through a broad variety of web browsers without need for software or an app.

Four Bonuses for First-Time Heroes

As mentioned, the welcome bonus stretches all the way across the first four deposits. Here's how that breaks down in detail:

The 50 extra spins for just the first deposit is a pretty sweet deal. These spins are restricted from use at about 30 slots, but that's a tiny fraction of the over 1000 available. Our signup bonus was used to try out Golden Fish Tank, which caught our eye near the top of the "hottest slots" list on the site. This 20-payline game from Yggdrasil is a fun experience that allows you to pick your own bonus types (such as multipliers and wild placement) and gives a guaranteed free pick if you add five coins to your spin to activate the "Golden Bet" mode. The key to getting this one to pay off big is to hang in there for the bonus rounds.

Now, you might be disappointed by seeing that bonus funds can't be used at the live casino. If live dealer games are your thing, however, don't fly back to Krypton just yet! You can opt for a separate welcome bonus that is good only at the live tables. This bonus gives you a 100% deposit match up to £100.

Heroes Deserve Regular Perks!

If you're gonna be a hero of Vegas, it should at least come with some free coffee and donuts or something. Vegas Hero does you one better with a regular 25% matching bonus on any deposits made on Tuesday. That's each and every Tuesday, like clockwork. You'll be matched up to your first £100 deposited.

Members also get regular freebies by email. These include additional deposit bonus offers, cash drops and extra spins. There is a guaranteed weekend mystery bonus for anyone who has made a deposit during the previous week. VIPs really get paid like supervillains with these regular freebies, but we'll cover that in more detail later.

Finally, Vegas Hero is one of the best new casinos for regular slot tournaments. These usually run for about a week and feature four or so particular slots. Wins, scatters and extra spins earn you points that move you up the leaderboard. There are usually 50 prizes ranging from around £100 at the lower ranks to a colossal £15,000 for the grand prize winner!

A Rogue's Gallery of Games to Conquer

We previously touched on the 1300+ games on offer at Vegas Hero. That's a great number for any online casino, but the really interesting thing here is that the casino is fully "no download." That means no software or apps to deal with; if you have a fairly recent web browser, you should be good to go. Devices that sometimes have trouble with compatibility will have no issues with this one.

Vegas Hero's sizable collection of games come from seven of the biggest software developers: NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Yggdrasil, Microgaming, Nyx Gaming Group, Play n' Go and Quickspin.

The full lineup that you can play for real money includes:

Video Slots - The video slots section at Vegas Hero boasts over 800 titles with the enhanced graphics and elaborate bonus rounds that everyone loves. One that caught our eye here was Crocodopolis, with its very nicely drawn graphics and unique "Slide a Wild" bonus feature.

Classic Slots - Fan of the classic reels with the more favourable payback percentages? There are dozens to try here, including some with huge jackpots incorporated. A good example is Jackpot Jester 50,000. As the name indicates, the grand prize is a whopping £50,000, and this isn't a progressive so you can potentially hit it on any given spin.

Progressive Jackpot Games - If you love watching those progressive numbers climb, Vegas Hero has you covered with over 20 different options including slots and video poker.

Live Dealer Games - Vegas Hero has one of the larger live dealer sections out there with 17 tables running simultaneously. You can sit down at a live table for a game of baccarat, blackjack, roulette, stud poker, or pai gow poker at any time. The popular Dream Catcher wheel game is also available here. Most of these games are conducted in English, but a German option is available for those who are interested.

Table Games - If you're looking for table games that aren't live, Vegas Hero has a pretty good selection of just over 50 for you. The collection of roulette games is particularly impressive, with 21 in total available including some of the more exotic options like Turkish Roulette and Rocket Roulette. If you're interested in punto banco, you'll also find a computer-controlled version here that lets you learn the game and play at your own pace.

Super Software and Graphics

As mentioned earlier, Vegas Hero's huge array of games is backed by seven of the biggest and most popular software developers in the market. Going with a fully "no download" casino for this roster provides a few advantages. If you have an older mobile device or tablet, or a Macintosh computer, you don't have to worry about software limitations so long as you have a fairly recent web browser. The games also load very fast, and no data is stored permanently on your device.

The Vegas superhero theme is an interesting choice. It gives the property a central mascot that stands out in people's minds, an approach that not a lot of online casinos opt for. Right now there is no level-up system in place, but an interesting idea for the future would be for players to create a superhero avatar and gain new "powers" (such as bonuses) as they progress through experience levels. Here's hoping that Vegas Hero runs with the theme and implements something fun like that in the future - that would truly make it one of the best online casinos in the UK.
