Online Pokies at Sushi Casino

In the casino game lobby, you can find all the pokies by clicking on the slots icon at the top of the page. This will outline all the different types of pokies available at Sushi Casino, with icons at the top of each game thumbnail indicating jackpot titles, bonus buys and new games.

Hovering over a game thumbnail prompts the options to play for real money or a demo ver and provides the software developer that made the title. The five pokies listed first in their top games section were:

Withdrawing from Sushi Casino

Sushi Casino claims that processing times on e-wallets and cryptocurrency methods are instant. In our experience, using these methods is indeed the fastest way to get your winnings converted to cash. However, if you prefer a more traditional method, it can take anywhere between 2 to 10 working days, depending on your location and your preferred payment provider.

Sushi Casino on Mobile

Although Sushi Casino doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app for players to download on their devices, the site is easily reachable via the web browser. When playing it on my iPhone, the site was perfectly optimised and ran smoothly, while offering the same games. Players using Android or Windows devices can also seamlessly play the same games on mobile as you can find on a desktop PC.

Our Take: Should You Play at Sushi?

I can recommend Sushi Casino for New Zealand players, with the welcome package worth up to $2850 across your first three deposits as a great way to start. There are a host of ongoing promotions for existing players and a sophisticated VIP program to make the most of too.

I was glad that the designers didn’t go overboard with Japanese Sushi theme being surprisingly clean, allowing for a stark white/red palette that really highlights the several memorable feline characters in traditional Japanese garb. Although the navigation isn’t the smoothest I’ve ever encountered, it’s a small tradeoff as you’ll be treated to plenty of choice when choosing what games to indulge in.
