Chumba Casino Maryland Review & Welcome Bonus

Chumba Casino welcome bonus details

The great thing about promotional sweepstakes casinos is that there is no fine print associated with bonus offers. You don’t have to meet any playthrough requirements or time limits, and there are no restrictions on the games you can play using the bonus coins.

The only condition to Chumba Casino’s free giveaways is that you can redeem only the Sweeps Coins you win during gameplay. Sweeps Coins that are given away for free have no monetary worth, and you can’t redeem them for cash prizes. Each Sweeps Coin you win while playing games is equal to $1 when you redeem it.

To get claim the welcome bonus, head to the Chumba Maryland sign-up page and create an account. You’ll get 2,000,000 Gold Coins and 2 free Sweeps Coins when you do so.

Next, if you’d like to purchase more Gold Coins and get additional Sweeps Coins for free, you’ll be eligible for a special first-purchase price of $10 to get 10,000,000 Gold Coins and 30 free Sweeps Coins.

To claim this offer, just click the banner for the first purchase welcome bonus that will pop up when you log into your new account.

How Chumba’s promotional sweepstakes system works

Chumba Casino is legal nearly everywhere in the US for anyone 21 or older. The site’s patented business system is based on sweepstakes law.

Owner VGW is also regulated and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority. A random number generator determines game outcomes. An independent lab tests that Chumba’s RNG produces fair outcomes. No purchase is necessary to play. Everyone has the same chance to win.

Sweeps Coins are legal promotional sweepstakes entries that Chumba always gives away for free. When you use Sweeps Coins to play a casino-style game, you can redeem any winnings for cash prizes.

You can also play games with Chumba’s Gold Coin currency and win more Gold Coins, but you can’t redeem those winnings for cash prizes. Chumba regularly gives away Gold Coins, and you can buy more when you run out. Gold Coin purchases sometimes include free bonus Sweeps Coins, but this is not guaranteed.

Chumba Casino games

When Chumba Casino first launched, it developed all of its games in house. In the last couple of years, it has begun licensing third-party software from game studios such as 2 By 2 Gaming, 5 Star Animation and Reel Play Gaming.

The site currently offers nearly 90 casino-like games, including a variety of slots and progressive jackpots, and a small assortment of table games. Chumba will often switch titles up to keep things exciting. At any time, you might find a brand new game or a discontinued title back in the lineup.

Use the scroll bar to view all games in the lobby, or use the navigation bar up top to narrow the selection to specific categories.

Also, you need to be at least somewhat aware of which currency the site is set to use. By default, Gold Coin play is active when you log in. Switch to Sweeps Coins and back again via the toggle switch at the top center of the page. Don’t worry if you launch a game before you make the switch. You can change currencies inside each game window, too.

Slots

At the time of this review, Chumba offered over 80 slot titles. Whether developed in-house or from a third-party game studio, Chumba’s slots are engaging and fun, and each minimum spin is 0.01 Sweeps Coin per payline. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, consider one of Chumba’s newest games:

• Aztec Temple Treasures: From 2 by 2 Gaming, this 3D-animated game features 30 paylines, neon-bright symbols and an animated Aztec god. Trigger the Path of the Gods or Heaven Ascension features and the god will move across the reels, dropping wilds as he goes. For the Mighty God feature, the Aztec deity expands the reels into a 5×6 grid, doubling the paylines for that spin. On top of all that, there’s also a free spin bonus round that awards up to 20 free spins in which the deity features trigger more often. Multiple features can occur on any one spin, so you never know what to expect.
• Golden Tides: This 40-payline game, also from 2 By 2 Gaming, features stacked symbols and beautiful mermaids. Spinning a wild stack on reel two and/or three will trigger the Golden Mermaid bonus feature in which all mermaid symbols convert to gold for a big payoff. There’s also a free spin bonus feature that will give you a choice between the Golden Mermaid or Double Win features.
• Hypernova: This title from Reel Play Gaming offers 10,000 ways to win for each spin. An extra reel along the top adds an extra symbol to reels two through five. Much like the popular Da Vinci Diamonds slot, winning symbols drop off the screen and are replaced by new symbols. The pattern continues until there’s no new winning combination. Six or more scatter symbols will trigger the jackpot respin feature, in which all scatter symbols are held and respins are reset to three when each new scatter symbol appears during a respin. Fill the reel with scatter symbols for a big payoff and a chance at four jackpot prizes of either 2,000x total coins played, 250x, 50x or 10x.
• Reelberry Blast: This Chumba-developed game features 25 lines with a free spin feature active on all reels and every spin. Match three or more special symbols to trigger and re-trigger the free spin feature. When you spin a winning combination, or hit three or more free spin symbols, all symbols are locked into place and respins awarded as long as new matching symbols continue to appear.
• Lucky Charms: Animated shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold and mugs of foamy beer have turned this proprietary Chumba game into a player favorite. Collect shamrocks to build your own progressive jackpot. Reach the end of the rainbow to win the jackpot amount at the top of the game screen. Plus, spin three or more pots of gold to trigger the free spins bonus feature.

Progressive jackpot series

Chumba features over a dozen progressive jackpot slots, including the Fireshot Jackpot series that features four jackpots: the grand, major, minor and mini jackpots. The other progressive titles feature two major and minor jackpots.

Fireshot’s grand jackpot frequently climbs over 1 million Sweeps Coins. One title added in 2020, Western Gold, has already awarded four jackpots of over 1 million Sweeps Coins each.

Use the navigation bar to narrow titles down to progressive jackpot games. If you’re looking for a game to start with, consider Kraken’s Bounty, the newest progressive title in Chumba’s library. It has animated pirate-themed stacking symbols and wilds. Three or more compasses will trigger the Kraken feature for either the free spin bonus round or the wheel bonus. The wheel bonus will give you a chance to win anywhere from 1x to 100x the number of coins you originally played on the spin, or an opportunity to play for a major or minor progressive jackpot.

Table games

When you feel like trying something different, give one of Chumba’s five table games a try, with choices of blackjack, roulette and video poker.

Chumba’s collection of table games is likely the best you’ll find at a social casino.

These games are professional, familiar and fair, with outcomes determined by a tested and certified random number generator.

You’ll find two versions each of blackjack and roulette, and one proprietary version of Jacks or Better video poker.
