The welcome: 1M GC + 2 SC + $15 → 20.1 SC
- No-deposit: 1,000,000 Gold Coins + 2 Sweeps Coins
- First-purchase pack ($15): 200,000 GC + 20.1 SC
The 1 million Gold Coins no-deposit is unusually heavy on play-money side, comparable to Chumba’s 2 million GC headline. The 2 SC redeemable side is cohort-median.
The $15 first-purchase pack is the unusual entry price — most operators use $4.99, $9.99, $19.99, or $49.99 tiers. The 20.1 SC at $15 works out to 1.34 SC per dollar, below the per-dollar leaders but in line with the broader cohort baseline at a mid-tier price point.
Provider catalog: Hacksaw, Relax, Lucky Hands Originals
Relax Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, Booming Games, Hacksaw Gaming, ICONIC21, Playson, Evoplay, Lucky Hands Originals.
Hacksaw Gaming is the headline (the same draw as at Crown Coins, Stake.us, Legendz, Modo.us, Scrooge, Moonspin). Le Bandit, Wanted Dead or a Wild, Chaos Crew in the catalog.
Relax Gaming brings Money Train 4, Iron Bank, Hellcatraz 2.
Lucky Hands Originals are first-party in-house titles, mirroring the Stake-Originals and Legendz-Originals model.
8 categories: Bonus Buys and Book-inspired Games are unusual
Video Slots, Jackpots, Hold & Win, Fish Games, Instant Win, Live Dealer Games, Book-inspired Games, Bonus Buys.
Bonus Buys as a standalone category is rare in sweepstakes. Most operators bury bonus-buy mechanics inside individual slot titles. Lucky Hands promotes the mechanic to the lobby navigation. Players who specifically want the bonus-feature-direct-purchase experience find the relevant titles in one filtered tab.
Book-inspired Games refers to Egyptian-themed and ancient-themed slots in the “Book of” lineage (Book of Dead from Play’n GO, Book of Ra from Novomatic, comparable titles). The category is operator-defined; verify specific titles at the cashier.
Fish Games matches Crown Coins, Funrize, Scrooge Fish Games.
