Posted by Although I play a lot of online slots, I have never used real money to buy slot tokens. Some of my favorites Apps are “Hit It Rich”, “High 5 Casino”, and “Jackpot Party”. In the past year, High 5 has added “Sweeps Play” to their app. In this section you can play for cash prizes or gift cards. There are three types of tokens: GC (Game Coins), SC (Sweeps Coins), and Diamonds. Every 4 hours you can collect 10 GC and 15 Diamonds. Every 24 hours you can collect .50 SC. They also periodically give you free spins that you can use to acquire more SC. Sweeps Coins represent real money and Game Coins have no cash value. Each SC coin is equivalent to 1 dollar. You can use GC to try a new slot without risking your SC. Sweeps Coins must be played at least once before they can be redeemed for a prize. Diamonds can be used to buy power ups and free spins. At first this may sound very confusing, but it isn’t that bad. You just have to keep track of which currency you are playing with and the balance in your account.
High 5 Casino uses “Trustly” for cash redemptions and “Prizeout” for gift card redemptions. You can only get cash in $100 increments and gift cards in $50 increments. Some of the gift cards have an added bonus that can increase the value of the gift card. For that reason, I think gift cards are a better value. There are dozens of gift cards from well-known businesses to choose from. Although, there is a detailed verification process (selfie, proof of age and residence) you have to submit before you can redeem any winnings. Also, despite High 5’s efforts to make their casino comply with current regulations, there are some States with strict laws that prohibit any type of online gambling. But I have found that you don’t need to spend any money to win.
Just by collecting the daily bonus and free spins, I was able to accumulate over 260 redeemable SC coins in the past 12 months. In one year, you could collect 182.5 SC, but they need to be played. Diamonds are even more valuable. You get 90 per day and you can purchase free spins when them. Five free spins at .25 SC per spin will cost between 300 and 800 diamonds. Any SC that you win during free spins are redeemable. For my first redemption, I selected a gift card for Ebay with a 3% bonus. That means the card value was $51.50. The redemption process is fairly seamless. After selecting a gift card in the High 5 app, Prizeout will email a link and a verification number for the card. You don’t need to sign up with Prizeout unless you want them to manage your gift cards. On my next Ebay purchase, I entered the gift card number and Ebay kept track of the balance for me. You need to be consistent in how you collect and play, but a few hundred dollars each year is worth the effort. High Five could also change their daily bonus structure, making this more difficult.
