Golden Nugget has been rated highly for the simple aspects that have been got right. This ranges from the products, services, and features that we shall highlight in this review. The iGaming world is getting competitive each day and in a bid to attract and retain more players on the platform, avenues such as the introduction of a mobile platform have been put out. This has seen a mobile application rolled out that is accessible to both Android and iOS users. With many customers using mobiles powered by the mentioned operating systems, this remains a huge customer base tapped. The application is reminiscent of the other version and just like in the desktop version, players can access various products, services, and features. Below is a review of the app;

Play Poker on Mobile

In the US, gaming legalization is state-regulated and as its stands, Poker has been legalized in some of the states including New Jersey and Nevada. However, Golden Nugget has not yet offered the platform to the players for wagering.

Sports Bet on Mobile

One major highlight about the app provided by Golden Nugget is that all the platforms have been incorporated in the same app. This is different in some of the online casinos where an app is differently tailored for each platform. With Golden Nugget, you will just choose the platform of interest at the top of the page and get on to view the games available for wagering. The sports games provided on the platform will be on the option ‘Sports’.

On the click of ‘Sports’, you will have the top upcoming picks with bonuses, other sports features are also provided slightly below. The features include; Golden Lines, Parlay Boost, Welcome Offer, How to Bet, Promotions, and Odds Styles. Below the features option will be other options where you can choose the sports you prefer and the option ‘All Sports’ where all the games will be listed.

16 different sports games have been provided on the app which is the same amount of number provided on the desktop version. On the sports provided, top leagues/events in the US are offered on the app and so are the international events picks. Events such as NBA, NFL, NHL, English Premier League, Italy Serie A, French Ligue 1, Germany Bundesliga, Challenger, and more are available. Among the sports you can wager on the platform include;

  • Basketball
  • Ice Hockey
  • Golf
  • Tennis
  • Baseball

The sports section has been made better for the players by providing various betting opportunities. Factors such as the markets provided, odds quality, betting options/types, and features contribute a lot to the betting opportunities availed to the players. In the markets section, huge markets have been offered providing numerous avenues for trying your luck. You can take a high-risk bet through some markets or a less risky bet by other markets such as Double Chance. More than 140 markets have been provided on top soccer events and some of the markets players can try their luck on include;

  • 1X2 FT
  • Draw No Bet
  • Total Team Goals
  • Asian Handicap
  • Odd/Even
  • Double Chance
  • Half Time/Full Time
  • Goalscorer
  • Winning Margin
  • Number of Goals

Other special markets that are rare in many sportsbooks are also offered including; 1X2 Shots On Target, To Win Either Half, Half Time/Full Time & O/U2.5, and more. A good number of betting options are also provided on the platform that players can opt for. They include;

  • Moneyline
  • Spread
  • Totals
  • Futures
  • Prop Bets
  • Parlays
  • Live Betting

The odds provided have been average on the platform and they have not drawn a picture of huge returns. However, to correct this, some standout features have been put in place to increase the quality of odds. Odds boost (Golden Lines & Parlay) have seen some of the selections made boosted their odds to provide huge returns to the players. Live betting also allows the players to capitalize on the odds that are updated in real-time.

Cash Out

Cash-out is a feature many online sportsbooks possesses. Through the feature, players can take an early payout or part of the stake depending on the dimension of a live game. A point to note, however, is that the payout will be less than what would have been originally awarded. Golden Nugget app does not offer the feature just yet.

Odds Boost

We earlier reviewed the odds boost feature and at Golden Nugget, you will get this feature in two forms. Golden Lines are a combo of events that will be provided daily with the odds boosted. This means that if your combo hits, you will have the returns boosted by some value. Parlay boost will give you an option to have your selections and if you meet the requirements provided, your parlay will have the odds boosted reflecting good returns.

Bonuses and Offers

Golden Nugget has not shied away from offering the players with a good selection of high-value bonuses from the offers they have provided. On the option ‘Promos & Rewards’, you will find all the offers listed and you can opt into the one you meet the requirements. Among the standout offers are the welcome bonuses which are as follows;

  • Sports

A new customer on the platform will receive a risk-free bet of up to $100 when the first sports bet loses. If the first sports bet was $75 and it ended up losing, a risk-free bet of $75 will be awarded. Only a loss will be eligible for a risk-free bet

  • Casino

A new customer on the platform will receive a 100% matched up bonus up to $1,000 on the first deposit made. The deposit should be at least $30. This means a deposit of $400 will attract a $400 bonus. Remember to view the latest Golden Nugget bonus codes in case there is something to interest you.

Casino

A casino platform is another major highlight provided on the app. This section has been friendly tailored thanks to the coming together of different software providers such as NetEnt, Aristocrat, Bally, NextGen Gaming, and more. They have ensured that the games provided come in different themes and types. What’s more, the app allows you to sort any game you want by name, recommendation, rating, and maximum payout. 600+ games have been provided on the app which is an impressive number. This has included various Live Dealer games titles and other titles placed in different categories as follows;

  • Slots (571)
  • Table Games (29)
  • Steppers (40)
  • Video Poker (14)
  • Live Dealer (13)
  • Scratchers (12)
  • Slingo (23)
  • Jackpots (9)
  • Bingo (11)
  • Megaways (3)

Conclusion

The app version has received our thumbs up. Many aspects have been dealt with accordingly and the customers can have an easy time and a near-experience of what is available on the desktop. An impressive collection of games has been provided coupled up with several promotions, several features such as odds boost coupled up with good betting opportunities have also been offered, and generally, the app is user-friendly.

The only recommended additions would be features such as cash out and live streaming, platforms such as Poker, and all the games on the desktop version to be made available on the app.
