Fruity Wins sister sites

Our original Fruity Wins sister-site notes

The observations below are retained because they contain specific judgement about each brand’s design and games. Their status labels now make clear that six of the seven domains are inactive and VIP Bet remains a white label; none of the historical bonus descriptions should be treated as a current offer.

Historical note: spinzcasino.co.uk is inactive; a related subdomain remains a white label.

Not all of the Fruity Wins sister sites look the same, but a fair few of them do, and Spinz Win is among their number. However, it isn’t one of the most basic sites on the Grace Media Limited casino platform. Not all of the casinos on this network have live casinos attached to them, but Spinz Casino does. That lifts it above the average. Aside from that, there isn’t much to be said about Spinz Casino. It doesn’t have a theme, and its style of presentation is generic. It’s unlikely to become anybody’s favourite new casino site, but there’s no reason why players can’t have fun spinning the reels here for a while. New games are added to the casino on a regular basis, so there’s always something new to play, and a percentage of first deposit losses are handed back as cashback to new players.

Historical note: richride.com is inactive.

Rich Ride markets itself as a “mobile casino,” but it doesn’t really feel like one. There is a mobile casino among the Fruity Wins sister sites – Jackpot Mobile Casino, to be precise – and it has an entirely different layout from Rich Ride. That being said, Rich Ride should load just fine on any mobile device. It’s a fairly minimalist casino, and it strongly resembles Spinz Casino. It’s obvious from comparing the two sites side by side that they were put together using the same template. There’s one important difference, though; Rich Ride doesn’t have the live casino games that Spinz Casino offers. That makes us feel like the names of the sites are the wrong way round. At the bottom of the Rich Ride homepage, you’ll find some promotional text in which the casino makes some pretty bold claims, including the idea that it’s “the most illustrious online casino in the UK.” It’s fine for what it is, but we can’t imagine many people agreeing with that idea.

Historical note: windfallcasino.co.uk and .com are inactive.

Windfall Casino makes it three casinos out of three in this list of Fruity Wins sister sites that don’t have a theme. Windfall Casino tries a touch harder than the first two sites we looked at, though. There’s a photo of Las Vegas in the background of the homepage, which adds a splash of colour if nothing else. Windfall Casino is a closer match to Rich Ride than it is to Spinz Casino, as it’s another “slots” only casino, lacking the live casino suite that you’ll find at the best casinos on the Grace Media Limited platform. Instead, it has a tab for “welcome slots.” We’re not sure what’s meant by “welcome slots” in this context, as they have nothing to do with the casino’s welcome promotion, but this is where Windfall Casino puts most of its classic games. If you’re looking for big hits from the past, that’s where you’ll find them.

Historical note: planetrockcasino.co.uk is inactive.

Finally, we’ve arrived at a member of the Fruity Wins sister sites family that has a bit of personality and charisma. That’s entirely down to its real-world connection, though. Planet Rock Casino is the official online casino of Planet Rock radio, which has been running for years and has thousands of listeners in the UK. The branding of the radio station is all over the casino’s homepage, and so are the logos of a few of the music-themed games you can find here. Plenty of rock stars and rock bands have partnered with slots developers to create “jukebox slots” in recent years, and all the best of those slots are available to play at Planet Rock Casino. That includes the official slots game of Guns n’ Roses, which is the most popular game in the genre. Fittingly for a one-of-a-kind casino, Planet Rock Casino’s welcome promotion isn’t repeated anywhere else on the platform.

Historical note: mayfaircasino.com is inactive.

Like Planet Rock Casino, Mayfair Casino is an officially-licensed iGaming site with real-world connections. You’ll find a few of them among the Fruity Wins sister sites, although Planet Rock Casino is the only one that Grace Media Limited built with its own hands – the operator gathers casinos from elsewhere far more often than it makes them itself. Mayfair Casino is the official online presence of the Mayfair Casino in London, but the connection might hinder the casino site more than it helps it. The site doesn’t seem to know whether it wants to provide games for players to play online or provide information about the brick-and-mortar casino. As a result, it doesn’t excel at either task. Mayfair Casino wasn’t made by Grace Media and hasn’t had a visual overhaul since it joined the operator’s network. A new look and a rethink about the casino’s format would work wonders here.

Historical note: diceden.com is inactive.

The further into this list of Fruity Wins sister sites we go, the more we think that Spinz Casino has an ironic name. Dice Den is another casino that looks like Spinz Casino and Rich Ride, but Spinz Casino is the only one we’ve looked at so far that has a live casino attached to it. Dice Den has the same collection of “welcome slots” as Windfall Casino. It also has the same selection of “popular” casino games as Windfall Casino, which makes it feel like the two sites are clones of each other when it comes to the games portfolios they share. Dice Den has a better welcome promotion, though, with as much as £500 available in matched deposit bonus funds for players who can afford to spend enough to unlock the full amount. That makes it a better choice than the others if you’re motivated by bonuses.

Current status: vipbet.com remains a white label.

VIP Bet tries to appeal to a totally different type of player from any of the other Fruity Wins sister sites on this list. It comes across as an upmarket casino with bespoke graphics, a unique layout, and all the trappings of a luxury casino. It looks so posh that you almost feel compelled to put your best clothes on before you log in. VIP Bet gets the look right, so it talks the talk, but we’re not convinced it walks the walk. In order to do that, it would need better promotions. VIP Bet has the same cashback promotion as Spinz Casino. Getting anything from the promotion involves losing your whole first deposit. That’s not an experience that screams “VIP.” The big bonus we’ve just seen at Dice Den would be a far better fit for VIP Bet, considering the market it’s attempting to appeal to.

Background retained from our original operator review

The history of Grace Media Limited isn’t long, but it’s been quite a story already. It began in 2019 when Grace Media was founded by like-minded individuals who have more than forty years of collective experience in the iGaming industry. They opened an office in Manchester, England, but quickly realised that it’s more tax efficient for iGaming companies to operate from other locations. To that end, they opened an office in Gibraltar in 2022 and had it declared as their new head office while keeping the Manchester office open. The change involved renaming the company to Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited and also acquiring a new UK Gambling Commission licence. There was nothing untoward about doing so – the company didn’t have any fines, sanctions or regulatory actions recorded on its previous licence.

Planet Rock Casino, which we mentioned earlier, is one of the very few casinos that Grace Media Limited has built “from the ground up.” The company’s usual modus operandi is to bring casinos in elsewhere – usually from other casino network companies that have either closed or withdrawn from the UK market. Almost all of the casinos currently on the Grace Media platform are either ex-Nektan casinos or ex-ElectraWorks casinos. This explains why you’ll sometimes see huge differences between the style and quality of some of the casinos Grace Media operates. Since moving to Gibraltar, Grace Media has shut down a lot of the sites it picked up from elsewhere. From a peak of more than one hundred sites, it’s now down to less than forty. We presume that this is a calculated move, with the company cutting loose the sites that don’t attract custom, so it has more time to focus on those that do.
