Party Casino slots

Party Casino slots and the Entain connection

Party Casino is part of Entain plc, one of the largest gambling groups operating in Britain. The company that holds its UK licence is LC International Limited, registered at Atlantic Suites in Gibraltar, under Gambling Commission account 54743. When you open a slot on partycasino.com, LC International is the business responsible for the game, your funds and your safer gambling protections.

Disclosure: LC International Limited also operates Coral and Ladbrokes, both of which pay us commission as partners. We don’t partner with Party Casino, we don’t rate it, and this page sticks to published facts. For that reason the offers shown below come from outside the Entain group.

From Starluck Casino to Party Casino

Party Casino is one of the longest-running names in online gambling. It began in 1997 as Starluck Casino, founded by Ruth Parasol, and later took the Party name shared with partypoker, the poker room that became one of the best-known brands of the early online poker era. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Party brands became part of the group now called Entain.

LC International’s licences for Party Casino

All six of LC International’s remote licences began on 1 July 2019 and sit under one licence reference. The casino licence is the one that covers slots.

The Entain brands that share Party Casino’s licence

Account 54743 lists 16 trading names and 15 domains, 13 of them active. It is one of the broadest licences on the register, mixing casino, bingo, poker and sportsbook brands.

Cheekybingo.com and partysports.com are listed as inactive. Our profiles of Gala Casino and Foxy Games cover two more Entain slot brands.

One licensee, many brands: what it means for your account

When a single company runs many brands, some practical rules follow from that.

• New accounts. If you already have an account with one Entain brand, you may not be able to open a new account with another. Read the terms before registering, especially if a welcome offer is the reason.
• Limits and exclusions. Ask support whether a deposit limit, time-out or self-exclusion on Party Casino carries across to the other brands. GAMSTOP covers them all regardless.
• Complaints. Any dispute goes to the same licensee and, if unresolved, to the alternative dispute resolution service named in its terms. Our guide on complaining to a slot site sets out the steps.
• Regulatory record. Any action the Commission takes against LC International applies across every brand it runs.

Slots beside partypoker: how the house makes its money

Party Casino’s link with partypoker is a useful way to see how differently casino games and poker work. In a slot, you play against the game’s maths. The house edge is built in: a slot with a 96% RTP keeps an average of £4 from every £100 staked over the long run, and no skill changes that. In poker, players compete against each other and the operator takes a small cut, called rake, from pots or charges a fee for tournaments.

Our guide to how slot RTP is calculated explains where the slot figure comes from.

Party Casino’s regulatory background

The public register’s actions tab currently lists no regulatory actions against account 54743. Earlier, in August 2022, the Commission announced a £17 million settlement with Entain over social responsibility and anti-money laundering failings, of which around £14 million came from LC International Limited. Settlements of this kind apply to the licensee as a whole rather than to one brand. Our UKGC glossary entry explains how the regulator enforces its rules.

Alternatives to Party Casino outside the Entain group

Because Party Casino shares a licensee with Coral and Ladbrokes, these three alternatives are run by different companies. All are for new customers aged 18+, and terms apply. PlayOJO (Skill On Net Limited): 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each with a first deposit of at least £10, no wagering, winnings paid as cash; Northern Ireland is excluded.
