It’s been such an eventful year that it was quite the challenge trying to fit everything that happened into this little (or rather large) highlight reel!
I did my best to cover as much as possible from our amazing new site launch to all the exciting promotions I’ve introduced. I didn’t want to be selfish so I’ve made sure to feature some amazing games and lucky players too so we can celebrate our successes together.
I hope you’ll indulge me in a lovely stroll down memory lane as we bid farewell to 2022 and usher in the new year!
A Year of Amazing Games and Tournaments!
It was raining games this 2022 with new releases and new game providers joining my growing catalogue along with a variety of exciting slot tournaments for players to enjoy.
To kickstart the year, I introduced my pal Playson as a new addition to my growing list of game providers.
They delighted players with their Hold and Win slot games as well as their engaging mechanics.
In July, I launched Pragmatic Play’s fifth instalment in the fan favourite Big Bass slot series, Big Bass Splash.
Aside from an exciting change in location, it gave players more ways to hook some bass-ive wins!
Then we all celebrated the start of summer by participating in the Summer Tournament with Quickspin.
Just by playing a few select Quickspin games and having fun with their iconic stars, my friends stood a chance to win some cooling prizes.
Quickspin quickly followed up that tournament with the exciting release of Sticky Bandits: Trail of Blood.
The fourth entry in the ever-popular Sticky Bandits slot series, it took all of us on a darker and grittier journey than anything the previous instalments ever offered.
October wouldn’t be complete without a little Oktoberfest celebration so I hosted the Bier Barrel Casino Race for those who passed its qualifying round.
Aside from taking home their share of the $5,750 real cash prize pool, the winners got to visit my exclusive Beer Tent where they enjoyed all the food they could eat and as much beer as they could drink.
Finally, I couldn’t end the year without introducing one more pal, Endorphina, the newest game provider here at EmuCasino.
In other words, I managed to end the year with even more games for my friends to choose from than ever before!
New and Easier Ways to Deposit and Play
I’ve always wanted to make it as easy and accessible as possible for my friends to play games here at EmuCasino so I spent the year working on making more currencies and payment methods available for them to use.
In April, I introduced eZeeWallet, a digital wallet provider.
Those who use Euro as their main currency now had a new payment and transaction method that was quick and easy to use.
I also made sure to give my Canadian friends more ways to deposit with the addition of CashtoCode eVouchers in August.
These digital vouchers can be bought by them and used in lieu of a credit card to add funds to their EmuCasino accounts.
Soon after that, Jeton was made available as another new method of depositing and withdrawing at EmuCasino in September.
This global e-wallet is available to use for those whose main currency is either the Canadian Dollar, the Swedish Krona or the Euro.
However, the currency announcement that I’m most excited to gush about is the rolling out of Bitcoin as a playable currency! In case you’ve never heard of it before, Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency that can be traded on the peer-to-peer Bitcoin network, removing the need for third party involvement.
With all these cryptocurrencies becoming more and more popular, I knew I had to upgrade it from being just a deposit method to a playable currency so my friends can play and win in Bitcoin! On top of that, I added the Bitcoin Welcome Bonus to my list of welcome bonuses. With this, those who chose Bitcoin as their main currency when they registered can claim a 100% match deposit bonus up to ₿0.005.
Bitcoin wasn’t the only cryptocurrency I gave this special treatment to, by the way; I added three other stable coins which are USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT) and DAI as accepted currencies and made them eligible for my standard Welcome Deposit Bonus.
As you can see, I’ve been very busy making more and more payment methods available and I can only hope we’ll continue to grow this list in the New Year!
Did Someone Say, “SO MUCH WINNING”?
It was a big year for EmuCasino with even bigger wins for some very lucky friends of mine. Let’s celebrate their tremendous good fortune by having a look at some of the Biggest Wins of the year!
February started with a bang when Daniel from New Zealand scored a big win streak totalling $113,300.50 over just four days on five different slot games.
Long story short, there was no stopping the Feb-ulous Daniel freight train to victory.
There’s something to be said about beginner’s luck and Victoria from New Zealand found out it was more than true in March.
She walked away with a grand total of $212,658 after a massive big win streak during her very first two days at EmuCasino.
That beginner’s luck must have rubbed off on Sebastian from Germany who had a similarly amazing start to his EmuCasino journey in June.
In his case, a single €3 bet won him a €12,000 big win on the Eye of Cleopatra slot game.
Keen to join in on the big win stampede, Simon from New Zealand herded his bets to the Buffalo King Megaways slot game in September.
By doing so, he earned a total of $46,968.60 in big wins and proved the Megaways feature is the ticket to mega wins in September.
Good fortune and some slot madness was in the air in October when Phillip from New Zealand went on a huge one day big win streak.
Even if he always came back to the comforts of the Absolutely Mad: Mega Moolah slot game, his decision to branch out to other slot games helped grow his total big win amount to $25,285.65.
But it was November that proved to be Lady Luck’s favourite month of 2022 as three players managed to score big win streaks during this period starting with Joseph from New Zealand.
Having decided to follow in Phillip’s footsteps, he too embarked on a single day journey through the slot world and ended up scoring a big win streak totalling $34,499.70.
Not one to be left in the dust, James who also hailed from New Zealand was quick to follow suit.
His reel-spinning adventure also bore fruit in the form of a big win streak of his own which had a grand total of $34,348.55.
Deciding that starting the year with a bang wasn’t enough, Daniel came back for yet another multi-day tour of the slot world only to outdo his previous performance with even more big wins.
With a unbelievable grand total of $214,415.20 in big wins, 2022 was surely Daniel’s year and I think we can all agree he deserves to be crowned the Ultimate Big Winner of 2022.
Congratulations to all of our big winners in 2022 and we hope the new year brings even more good luck!
The Best of Promotions, the Biggest of Events
2022 was filled to the brim with something new of everything and so much cooking behind the scenes that I was so excited to share with all of you!
One of the biggest and most important things that happened this year was the launch of the new and improved EmuCasino which I’m sure my long-time friends noticed.
I was super excited to reveal my home’s new modern look and theme as well as all the little quality of life changes that would make it even more comfortable for all of you. There is now only one URL for the EmuCasino site regardless of the device you’re using, making it easier than ever to find and start playing. If that wasn’t enough, the new responsive design, upgraded user interface and revamped game play functions are sure to make your experience here the best that it can be.
Speaking of which, did you know that 2022 was also our 10 year anniversary and my 10th birthday? That’s right! When I opened my doors in 2012, I didn’t expect to have grown to where I am now.
I wanted to show my appreciation for all of you and decided that giving my house a makeover wasn’t enough so I decided to shower my friends with bonus presents galore when they attended my 10th birthday party in July. Those who were quick enough to nab the limited gifts I prepared received a variety of match deposit bonuses and some lucky ones were also awarded surprise bonuses from yours truly! All in all, it was an anniversary party to remember!
If that wasn’t enough excitement for the year, I was joined by a brand new housemate from New Zealand: Kiri the Kiwi! She’s a fellow fan of online casino games and she’s flown in to be a part of our growing EmuCasino family. Boy did she make sure the place was lively during my birthday party!
Kiri didn’t come empty-handed either as she brought with her a plethora of ideas on how to improve the EmuCasino experience. For starters, she was the one who convinced me to start (and in one case bring back) my weekly promotions that we know and love now!
Speaking of weekly promotions, we launched four different weekly promotions this year for my friends to enjoy!
Kiri was thrilled to introduce her Monday Match Bonus Cuppa, making sure the week starts off right with a proper cup of tea that’s sure to help curb the Monday blues!
She also found an old promotion in my house when she was moving in and loved it so much she asked me to bring it back!
That’s why Free Spins Tuesday returned this year and better than ever so my free spins-loving friends had a whole lot of reasons to love Tuesdays.
As if that wasn’t enough, I decided to spice up Hump Days with Whirl-Win Wednesday.
With this, my friends could ride the spin cyclone, have a spinning good time and never again be bogged down by that midweek slump!
Finally, I made sure my friends could end the week with a rewarding getaway through my Weekend Escape Bonus Bundle which is sure to make their weekends even more fun. It’s everything they could need to enjoy a relaxing weekend!
With all these bonuses available every week without fail, you can be sure there’s never a dull moment here at EmuCasino!
If you think the list ends there, you’d be wrong because 2022 was the year of innovation and I decided to kickstart a brand new idea that’s been stewing in my brain for some time: Gaming Week! No two Gaming Week activities are the same as each one offers different ways to play and earn a variety of bonuses for as long as they’re running. I debuted this concept with Eddy’s Crossword Craze
which involves my friends being given a crossword puzzle created by me to complete within a set amount of time.
I make sure to give hints, of course, and each of the answers function as a bonus code which they can then use to claim a variety of different bonuses. I thought it was a fun and unique way to test their puzzle-solving skills and get rewarded for it!
The second addition to the Gaming Week initiative was Eddy’s High Score Hunt! I dusted off my collection of retro arcade machines and thought it was only fair to share the excitement with all of you!
For the debut round, I chose Dragon Hunt where the goal was for my friends to find as many dragons as they could. Depending on the size of the dragon they managed to find, they received bonus rewards – in other words, the larger the dragon, the larger the bonus! It was a fun and easy way to win some amazing bonuses and they loved it.
The year ended with a particularly huge global event which you might have heard about: the 2022 World Cup! I wanted to bring some of that football fever to EmuCasino so I put together my very own event, The Emu Slot World Cup Tournament 2022.
Four of the slot world’s biggest stars were pitted against each other and they fought it out for that championship title! Book of Helios narrowly defeated Sticky Bandits: Trail of Blood in the first semi-finals while the pressure was too much for poor Thunderstruck: Wild Lightning who was beaten by Wanted Dead or a Wild in the second semi-finals.
A heart-pounding and nerve-wracking finale crowned Wanted Dead or a Wild as our Emu Slot World Cup 2022 Champion! What a match, and what a way to end the year!
