House of Fun Review: Is It Worth Installing Next to Slotomania? | Reelaudit
House of Fun review: Slotomania's sister app, with more machines and the same coin loop
House of Fun is Playtika's free Vegas-style slots app, with 400+ machines and a daily coin gift. It is a good second slots app only if you want variety, not a cheaper way to play.

If you already have Slotomania on your phone, House of Fun will feel familiar within a minute. Same publisher, same coin-and-album machinery, same daily gifts. The honest question is not whether House of Fun is any good, but whether it earns a second home screen slot.
Our short answer: only if you want a different set of machines. Nothing about the way it makes money is different. Gambling is entertainment with a built-in house edge, and this is not even gambling in the cash sense: you cannot win anything you can take out. We read the official site, both store listings and Apple's published data. We did not buy coin packs, so we have no purchase price list from our own spending.
House of Fun is run by Playtika, the Israeli company behind Slotomania, and the App Store listing names a Playtika UK entity as the developer. It is free with in-app purchases, rated 17+ by Apple, and the studio's own About page says it was built for adults aged 21 and over.
The US App Store listing: free to download, with in-app purchases, and a Playtika UK developer name.
The numbers back up the scale of the thing. Apple's data shows an average of 4.65 stars from about 506,000 ratings, against 4.59 from about 555,000 for Slotomania. The two apps are close to level on store sentiment. Where they split is the catalogue: the House of Fun listing claims more than 400 slot machines, while Slotomania's own site talks about 200+. That is a claim from the maker, not a number we counted, but it matches the feel of a lobby that leans on volume.
What the machines are like
The house style is Vegas. The Vegas Slots page sells the "excitement and electric energy of the famous Strip", and the store description lists classic 777-style reels, modern video slots with wilds and scatters, plus fantasy, adventure and seasonal themes. It names Cleopatra II among the fan favourites and mentions IGT-inspired titles, which is a big part of the pitch: these are imitations of real casino cabinets, the kind you may have seen on a casino floor.
The Vegas Slots page on the official site. The pitch is floor-style cabinets, played for coins only.
If you came for original game design, you will find less of it than the volume suggests. If you came because you like old-fashioned three-reel games and licensed-looking themes, the variety is the main reason to pick House of Fun over its sister app.
The free coin loop
The official free coins page is blunt about the rule: one free gift per 24 hours, so come back every day. The homepage headline offers 100K free coins, and the App Store text adds the Wheel of Fun, a daily spin for a coin bonus.
The free coins page: one gift every 24 hours, claimed by returning each day.
That sets expectations well. A hundred thousand coins is a lot of spins at the lowest stakes and almost none at the top ones. The listing also describes collectible card albums, a Star Market for trading duplicates, limited events and mini-games. Each of those is a reason to come back tomorrow, and a reason to see an offer on the way. If the daily visit becomes a chore rather than a treat, that is the signal to delete it.
What it costs when you do spend
Coin packs sit in the usual ladder. A search for the store listings turned up a 3.99 euro entry pack in the European stores, and larger bundles climb from there. We did not test the prices in the US. As with every social casino, the thing to watch is not the price of one pack but the third and fourth in a single evening. Set a monthly figure before you open the app, switch off one-tap purchases on your phone and treat anything you spend as the price of a night out. Do not chase a losing session: coins can only ever buy more coins.
Who should install it
Install it if you like Vegas-style slots, enjoy collecting albums and want a no-cash-out game that you can drop for days.
Skip it if you already play Slotomania and your complaint is the sales pressure: that is the same model here.
Skip it if you want to win money. Nothing here pays, and the sweepstakes sites we cover elsewhere are the nearest legal alternative in many US states.
Our score reflects a well-made, well-reviewed game with a catalogue advantage, held back because it is a sibling of an app we already marked down for the same spending nudges.
