Lucky Nugget review: a 1998 Microgaming casino with Kahnawake and Alderney licences
1998 Founding year · On our list since 9 Mar 2019 · Established casino
Lucky Nugget dates from 1998, which makes it one of the oldest casinos on our list. It states licences from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
The library comes from three studios, Microgaming, NetEnt and Evolution, with slots, live tables and video poker. Our data marks Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Brazil and Japan among the open markets; the UK, the US and Australia are blocked.

Short answer
Should you try Lucky Nugget?
Lucky Nugget is the opposite of a new casino: more than 25 years of trading and two long-standing licences. It suits players who want classic Microgaming slots and a simple cashier. The short studio list means fewer new releases than at the brands that lead our list.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A casino in its first year has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
