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.

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.

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.
