Software Platform
Stan James uses NetEnt software for their instant play casino. Other software providers include Microgaming, NextGen, WMS, IGT, Amaya and Realistic Games. While accessing Casino site on a desktop, you’ll have to register before being able to play any of the games.
Slots Offered
Stan James’s games library delivers close to 200 slots and several progressive jackpots, like the generous Mega Moolah. Newer titles include Motorhead and Secrets of Atlantis by NetEnt, NextGen’s Robin Hood Prince of Tweets, Crystal Clear by Realistic Games and very fresh Lost Vegas by Microgaming.
The library also features a number of popular slots such as Da Vinci Diamonds, Medusa II, Witch Pickings, Zeus III and Doctor Love, to name a few. If you like classic fruity slots, you’ll enjoy NetEnt’s take in Fruit Shop slot. If superheroes are your thing, spin the reels of Superman: Last Son of Krypton by Amaya or NextGen’s Judge Dredd. Even if the library itself is not huge, there are plenty of themes to choose from.
Live Dealer Games
Live Casino tables are hosted by attractive and professional dealers. You can try your luck playing Live Hold’em and Three Card Poker, spin the wheel of French, Immersive or European Roulette or enjoy the Macau-style Baccarat with Pairs Bonus, Player Bonus and Banker Bonus side bets. Live Blackjack comes with the option to bet behind and to place the popular Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets.
Mobile Play
Casino’s mobile site runs on NetEnt Touch software which is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. You can easily access Casino’s mobile app by simply typing StanJames.com into your mobile browser.
This will give you access to exactly the same games selection as when playing on your desktop. An added bonus is that you don’t need to be registered in the casino in order to play for fun.

Any winnings from the free spins will go into bonus balance and must be wagered 30x on any game in the Bonus Games section.
Additionally, all players can fill up their accounts each day with a £5 bonus. In order to do it, you’ll have to wager £10 on the day’s selected game and you’ll be automatically credited with your £5. This bonus must be wagered 30x within 24 hours.

Summary
Stan James is a beautifully-designed one-stop-shop for all your online gambling needs. While it has a bit of everything, its slots library is among the smallest in the online casino world. They do, however, take care to provide most popular titles and to update their portfolio fairly regularly. If you want to test the games prior to registering, you’ll have to use the mobile version.
Stan James features a decent variety of promotions, though we find it to be highly restrictive. First issue we had was that different wagering requirements were attached depending on player’s country of residence. Second was an extremely short period for bonuses to be wagered before they are cancelled.
List of available payment methods is quite small, and again varies depending on where the gamers are coming from. We’d say Stan James is not very hospitable to the international gaming community, but if you happen to be a UK or Irish player, they will make you feel right at home.
