Your bankroll can’t be used to activate any of the games at Hard Rock, so the social gaming platform gets you started with an introductory gift of 300,000 Coins. You can use your Hard Rock bonus immediately to play any of the games, but there’s more still to come.

Every day brings a spin of the Lucky Wheel, including your first visit to the platform. And that’s only the start of the bonuses, with a Treasure Chest that unlocks every few hours to add even more Coins to your account. I’d only been on the platform for a few minutes, and already I’d managed to amass 425,000 Coins before I’d played a single game. That obviously made me predisposed towards a favourable Hard Rock review, but it certainly didn’t prevent me from taking a look under the hood to check out every aspect of the platform.

How to sign up for a Hard Rock Jackpot Casino account

Here’s a little tip for you – there’s no need to create any kind of account to try out the Hard Rock social games, as there’s an option to play as a Guest. No emails, account names or passwords are required, just check the box to say you agree to the site’s terms and you’re in – complete with 300,000 Coins to start you off – and a spin of the Lucky Wheel.

You won’t be able to save your Coin balance and Hearts once you log out, if you’re playing as a guest, but you can easily upgrade to a named account. You have a number of options in terms of account creation:

• Via Facebook
• Using your Apple ID if playing on iOS devices.
• Using your Google account if playing on Android devices
• Using your email address, name and password.

Once you log into your Hard Rock casino slots account, you can select any of the unlocked games and start playing.

Any worthwhile Hard Rock review needs to consider the type of gaming fan the platform is aimed at. Some social casinos come with a sleek and sophisticated vibe, but Hard Rock has a much more laid-back feel to it. With High Limits games for experienced players and risk-takers, alongside hundreds of entertaining games across all genres and themes, this is a site aimed at every level of gaming fan.

An established brand and a history of gaming

The first Hard Rock Cafe opened in London in 1971, growing to encompass cafes and hotels around the globe. Hard Rock was purchased by the Seminole Tribe of Florida in 2007, instantly adding their own casinos to the portfolio.? With long experience of running land-based casinos, the Seminole Tribe ensures that Hard Rock Jackpot Casino offers all the advantages of its real-money gameplay, with none of the associated risk.

A good reputation among Hard Rock Jackpot Casino players

I checked out reviews of Hard Rock Jackpot Casino from other players, and found them to be almost entirely positive. The platform has a 4.3* rating at the Google Play store, and 4.7* at the App Store. It’s impossible to please absolutely everyone, but all the signs are that Hard Rock is getting things right!

A great player experience at Hard Rock Jackpot Casino

An introductory tour lets you take in everything that’s available at Hard Rock, which was a highlight of my Hard Rock review, as there’s a lot to take on board. There are plenty of information buttons dotted around to fill you in on the important points, so don’t panic if you can’t remember everything. A jazz-funk soundtrack adds extra atmosphere,? but you can easily switch it off from your player account settings if it’s not to your taste.

At the top of your screen you’ll see your Coin and Hearts balance, and the big green Buy button, if you want to top up your account. To the right you’ll find details of the Unity Card scheme and the hamburger menu which takes you to your account profile. Along the bottom of the screen there are several buttons which you’ll need to familiarise yourself with to keep on top of your bonuses:

There’s no need to download anything at all to enjoy playing any of the games on offer. My review of Hard Rock found the platform works seamlessly across all devices directly from your browser, so you can dive right in and start playing. If you favour playing on your smartphone or tablet, you’ll find free app downloads available at the App Store and Google Play.

Hard Rock social casino mobile app

Over 200 slots to play at Hard Rock

There are loads of free Coins available at Hard Rock, but it’s always nice to have the option to buy more, so you can stay a little longer and enjoy more gameplay. One of the disappointments I came up against during my Hard Rock review is the lack of available payment methods, although most of us have a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card we can use.

All Coin purchases come with at least 500 free Hearts, and there are regular discounts and extra Coins for taking part in Events. Sign up for a Unity Card account and you’ll receive multiplier boosts on your purchases. Coin packages are available at price point to suit all budgets, ranging from just $4.99 up to a maximum $999 for the high rollers.

I wouldn’t expect a social casino to offer the same level of support as a real-money gaming platform. All the same, some of the best social casinos go so far as to offer live chat support, although that’s not the case here, as I quickly discovered when preparing my Hard Rock review. Once you know where to find help it’s easy, but it’s not clearly displayed, which knocked a few points off my overall rating.

You’ll need to look for the three-line hamburger menu which opens up your account profile. Click or tap on ‘Contact Support’, then on the next pop-up screen you’ll need to click on ‘Support Portal’. Now you’ll have access to the platform’s FAQ section, or you can fill in the contact form and wait for a response – which could take up to 48 hours during busy periods.

Hard Rock is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which has been running bricks-and-mortar casinos for a long time now, starting with bingo halls in 1979. There’s nothing this organisation doesn’t know about fair gameplay and player safety and security. No licences are required for social casinos, but my Hard Rock review identified top-level SSL protocols, with high-level data encryption to keep your personal information private.

No US restrictions for Hard Rock Jackpot Casino players

Free-to-play games don’t qualify as gambling in legal terms, since no money is being wagered on chance outcomes. It’s a slightly different story where free home sweepstakes or real money prizes are concerned, with some states holding out against this type of entertainment. But as my Hard Rock review discovered, there are no restrictions for players in the US.

Hearts at Hard Rock Jackpot Casino are the platform’s version of loyalty points. You’ll be awarded free Hearts in all sorts of ways, which can be redeemed for access to the High Limits Room or free Coins as follows:

Free Coins

• 500 Hearts = 15,000 Coins
• 12,500 Hearts = 50,000 Coins
• 20,000 Hearts = 100,000 Coins

HIgh Limit Room access

• 10,000 Hearts = 1 day
• 25,000 Hearts = 7 days
• 40,000 Hearts = 30 days

A Unity Card gives potential for real-world Hard Rock rewards

The Unity Card account comes with four tiers, each offering enhanced benefits to enrich the Hard Rock Jackpot Casino experience. You’ll be able to collect extra loyalty points, along with bonus multipliers, bet credits – and even discounted hospitality at Hard Rock establishments. From portable branded speakers to exclusive Fender Stratocaster guitars, there are some exclusive rewards available.
