Lucky Nugget Casino Download

Up to $/€/£200 FREE welcome bonus

Lucky nugget is an online casino veteran established back in 1998 and remains a reliable, professional and trustworthy casino, one of the brands within the same group as All Slots, Gaming Club (one of the world's first ever online casinos), Jackpot City, Mummys Gold, Platinum Play, River Belle, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune and Spin Palace.

Our advice to players has always been to get the best out of your gaming by downloading Lucky Nugget's games and lobby software to your computer. This provides members with access to several hundred (and rapidly growing) games from games by Microgaming and a number of games from selected third-party designers, often exclusively available at Lucky Nugget and other Microgaming casinos. You can also take on real dealers at Evolution Gaming's live dealer baccarat, blackjack, poker and roulette tables - it doesn't get more exciting and realistic than this.

So now we've told you how great the Lucky Nugget download casino is, we can break it to you gently that the casino decided in its wisdom to remove the Lucky Nugget download version at the end of 2019 and leave only browser/mobile play open to members. Yep, the premium casino got the boot! Still, there are some online casino players who actually prefer not to download and are satisfied with a slightly more limited casino in terms of games and options. If you fall into this category then you can play most of the same games in your usual browser (Chrome, Edge, Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.) that were in the downloadable Lucky Nugget Casino. You will be missing out a bit though, whether you spot it or not - download really IS the King when it comes to the best quality online casino experience.

As a last resort for choice of games and quality of play, Lucky Nugget's mobile version works with Android, Blackberry, iPad, iPhone and Windows phone and tablets, plus others. It is by far the most restricted of all formats but you can play whenever and wherever so it does have its advantages and lots of loyal players. This is one option where you CAN still choose to download Lucky Nugget's casino games software to your mobile device or play in its browser. For once, the mobile casino wins here.

Some of the most successful members of online casinos are those players who spread their playing sessions around different formats - download (not any more), browser and mobile/pad. Now, there's no Lucky Nugget download on the scene these days so give the other two a try yourself - mix things up and see if browser and mobile works for you. We bet you'll determine that - combined - they ain't as good as the download casino was, though!

That's your call. We expected Lucky Nugget's download casino to be discontinued earlier around April 2019 but it wasn't until November/December 2019 before the casinos really shut things down, download-wise (if that makes sense). A couple of other casinos in the same group (ie. Cabaret Club) had their download casino deactivated early but then one of those casino's download facility was RE-activated again. So it rather became a case of playing the download casino when you could but expected the possibility of a sudden shutdown and the resultant browser or mobile only move, which could lead to lots of Lucky Nugget download-lovers jumping ship to an alternative Microgaming casino still offering a software download casino).

To retain the benefits of a download casino, we recommend shifting your play to a trustworthy (and Grade-A rated at Casino-Download.com) online casino such as Cosmo Casino, Grand Mondial Casino and Yukon Gold Casino containing hundreds of games from Microgaming and loads of third-party providers and a DOWNLOAD OPTION. Once signed-up, it's likely you'll become a regular.

The new player sign up bonus at Lucky Nugget is 150% up to $/€/£200. This needs to be claimed within your first seven days of opening your new account at Lucky Nugget. You should not open a new account using your browser or mobile (or download! aargh!) until you are ready to deposit and claim the welcome bonus, if that is your aim.

The wagering requirement (if you accept the welcome bonus) is the bonus amount x50. For example, if you deposit $/€/£50 and claim the 150% welcome bonus you will receive a $/€/£75 bonus. We multiple the bonus ($75) x50 and get an eye-popping wager target of $/€/£3750 before you can withdraw any winnings.

So remember that bonuses are not compulsory - they can extend your playing time and be the right decision to claim it but bonuses and their attached terms and limits are not for everyone. Lots of members (ourselves included) tend to decline bonuses, unless the terms are particularly attractive. Lucky Nugget's bonus x50 might seem high but is quite standard for an online casino sign-up bonus and actually better than some of the competition's offerings. Make sure you read all the bonus terms if you accept one - it IS important.
