LuckyLand Slots Is Shutting Down After Eight Years

VGW will permanently close LuckyLand Slots on Sept. 14, ending an eight-year run for one of its longest-running sweepstakes casino brands.

Players are already being notified, with purchases, gameplay and prize redemptions being phased out ahead of the shutdown.

The closure only affects LuckyLand Slots. VGW says LuckyLand Casino, Chumba Casino and Global Poker will continue operating as normal.

LuckyLand Slots Closure Timeline

VGW is closing the platform in stages, giving players time to use existing balances and redeem eligible prizes.

Aug. 3: Players could no longer purchase Gold Coin packages, although existing Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins remain usable.
Aug. 24: Gameplay will end. Eligible Sweeps Coin prize redemptions will remain available.
Sept. 14: Prize redemptions will close permanently and LuckyLand Slots will no longer be accessible.

Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins cannot be transferred to another VGW platform. Players with eligible prizes must complete their redemptions before the Sept. 14 deadline.

Why VGW Is Closing LuckyLand Slots

VGW says it has decided to retire LuckyLand Slots and focus on its other brands.

“We can confirm that after eight years of LuckyLand Slots providing players with thrills, excitement and free-to-play fun, we have made the decision to close the brand,” a spokesperson said.

The company added that the decision “wasn’t taken lightly” and said its priority is making sure players understand what the closure means and have time to prepare.

The announcement follows several months of changes to the LuckyLand brand.

VGW launched LuckyLand Casino in December 2025, expanding beyond slots with table games and social live casino content. At the time, the company said it was reviewing the future of LuckyLand Slots rather than committing to operate both platforms indefinitely.

There had also been signs that VGW was preparing to retire the older platform. LuckyLand Slots disappeared from the company’s Malta Gaming Authority licence, with LuckyLand Casino taking its place.

The same licence referenced United Slots, another VGW platform that appeared in a US trademark filing and has since opened for player registration.

LuckyLand Casino Will Carry The Brand Forward

LuckyLand Casino will remain active after LuckyLand Slots closes.

VGW will also continue operating Chumba Casino and Global Poker, alongside its newer Match 3 title, Monopoly Match.

LuckyLand Slots launched in 2018, making it one of VGW’s longest-running sweepstakes gaming brands. Its final prize redemption deadline is Sept. 14.
