Most reviews of this brand treat everything that is not a slot as a single line item. The catalogue does not deserve that treatment: 21 blackjack variants, 18 roulette variants and 84 live dealer tables is a substantial non-slot offering by Canadian market standards.
| Category | Count | Supplied by |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack variants | 21 | Games Global studios, Switch Studios |
| Roulette variants | 18 | Games Global studios |
| Live dealer tables | 84 | On Air Entertainment, Pragmatic Play, Evolution |
| Video poker | Multiple, including multi-hand | Games Global |
| Specialty | Keno, bingo, scratch cards, Sic Bo, craps | Games Global |
Blackjack: 21 Variants and Their Rules
The blackjack section is the strongest part of the non-slot catalogue, covering the standard rule sets plus multi-hand and side-bet formats.
| Variant | Distinguishing feature | Hands | Wagering contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Blackjack | The base rule set | Single | 2% |
| Classic Blackjack Gold | Higher-fidelity build of the classic rules | Single | 2% |
| European Blackjack | Dealer takes no hole card until the player acts | Single | 8% |
| Atlantic City Blackjack | Late surrender, dealer stands on soft 17 | Single | 8% |
| Multi Hand Atlantic City Blackjack | Five simultaneous hands, C$1–C$200 per hand | Up to 5 | 8% |
| Blackjack with Buster | Side bet on the dealer busting | Single | 8% |
| Vinnie Jones Blackjack | Branded presentation over standard rules | Single | 8% |
| Premier Blackjack with Lucky Lucky | Side bet on the player's first two cards plus the up-card | Single | 8% |
Multi Hand Atlantic City Blackjack from Switch Studios carries the widest stake range in the section — up to five hands at C$1 to C$200 each, allowing a total commitment of C$1,000 per round. Side bets in the Buster and Lucky Lucky formats carry their own paytables and their own house edges, separate from the main wager.
Roulette: 18 Variants Including French and Multifire
The number of zero pockets is the single most consequential difference between roulette tables, because it sets the house edge before any betting system enters the picture.
| Variant | Zero pockets | Note | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| French Roulette | Single | La partage or en prison rules reduce the edge on even-money bets | 8% |
| European Roulette | Single | The standard single-zero wheel | 8% |
| American Roulette | Double | The additional pocket roughly doubles the house edge | 8% |
| Scarab Auto Roulette | Single | Automated wheel, faster round cycle | 8% |
| Vikings Multifire Roulette | Single | Random multipliers applied to straight-up bets | 8% |
| 9 Masks of Fire Roulette | Single | Slot-themed bonus layer | 8% |
| Roulette Mega Moolah | Single | Progressive jackpot attached | 0% if jackpot-linked |
| Three Wheel Roulette | Single | One bet resolved across three wheels | 8% |
Multiplier and jackpot variants add a bonus layer funded from the same total return, in the same way progressive slots divert a slice of each stake into a shared pool. The added feature is paid for from somewhere.
The Live Casino: 84 Tables from On Air and Pragmatic Play
The live floor runs to 84 tables. On Air Entertainment and Pragmatic Play supply the majority; some catalogue listings also name Evolution, and the studio mix is worth confirming in the lobby rather than in any review, since live suppliers change more often than slot catalogues.
| Category | What is available | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Live Blackjack | Multiple tables across stake levels, with side bets on several | 8% |
| Live Roulette | Standard, auto and themed wheels | 8% |
| Live Baccarat | Standard and No Commission formats | 0% |
| Live Sic Bo | Dice tables | 0% |
| Game shows | Wheel and presenter-led formats | Varies by title |
Live tables run in a mobile browser as well as on desktop, contrary to older reviews of this brand that describe live play as desktop-only. Studios build these interfaces for portrait orientation first.
Game Shows and Wheel Formats
Presenter-led formats are the fastest-growing category in live casino and the one this operator has expanded most visibly.
| Title | Format |
|---|---|
| Live Mega Wheel | Money wheel with multiplier segments |
| Live Sweet Bonanza Candy Land | Wheel format built around a slot licence |
| Live Travel Fever | Wheel with six embedded bonus games |
| Live Majestic Wheelshow | Multi-layer wheel with escalating rounds |
| Live Dice City | Dice-driven board progression |
| Live 24D Spin | Twenty-four segment wheel |
| Live Snakes and Ladders | Board game format with dice rounds |
| Live Bingo The Spot | Presenter-led bingo |
| Live Card Match Up | Card matching with multipliers |
| Live Treasure Island | Map progression with bonus picks |
| Live Money Time | Timed multiplier rounds |
| Live Exclusive Lounge | Operator-branded table environment |
Game shows are presented as entertainment formats rather than table games, and the pacing reflects that — rounds are short, side bets are numerous and the presenter maintains continuous engagement between rounds. The house edge on bonus side bets is typically higher than on the main wager.
Video Poker
Video poker occupies a small but distinct corner of the catalogue, including multi-hand and Power Poker formats where a single dealt hand is played across several lines simultaneously.
| Format | Structure | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Jacks or Better | Single hand, the base game | 2% |
| All Aces | Single hand, aces-weighted paytable | 2% |
| Deuces Wild and other variants | Single hand with wild cards | 8% |
| Power Poker formats | Four or ten hands from one deal | 8% |
Specialty Games: Keno, Bingo, Scratch Cards and Sic Bo
The specialty section contains the largest contribution surprise in the entire catalogue, in both directions.
| Game | Type | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Keno | Number draw | 100% |
| Scratch cards | Instant win | 100% |
| Bingo | Draw-based | Varies by title |
| Sic Bo | Dice | 0% |
| Craps | Dice | 0% |
| Red Dog | Card | 0% |
| Baccarat, all variants | Card | 0% |
How Table and Live Games Affect Your Bonus
Collecting the contribution rates into one calculation makes the position unambiguous. A C$100 deposit with a C$100 match creates a C$200 wagering base at 35×.
| Playing only | Contribution | Turnover required | Relative to slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard slots, keno or scratch cards | 100% | C$7,000 | Baseline |
| NetEnt slots | 50% | C$14,000 | 2× more |
| Roulette, most blackjack, most video poker, live tables | 8% | C$87,500 | 12.5× more |
| Classic Blackjack, All Aces, Jacks or Better | 2% | C$350,000 | 50× more |
| Baccarat, craps, Sic Bo, Red Dog, progressive jackpots | 0% | Unattainable | Never clears |
C$87,500 of turnover to release a C$100 bonus is not a realistic proposition for a recreational blackjack player. C$350,000 is not a proposition at all. The honest conclusion for anyone whose game sits in the lower bands is that the welcome package is not designed for them, and declining it leaves the balance withdrawable at any time with no maximum bet ceiling and no playthrough attached.
One further constraint applies to anyone who does take the bonus: clause 5.8.5 caps stakes at €8 per round and 50 cents per line while wagering is active — roughly C$12. That ceiling sits well below the C$1,000 a five-hand blackjack table can accept, and breaching it retrospectively voids bonus winnings.
Table and live games run at a pace set by a dealer rather than by the player, which makes elapsed time harder to track than at a slot.

The multi-hand table accepts up to five hands at C$1 to C$200 each.
Do table games count towards wagering requirements?
Only partially. Roulette, most blackjack variants, most video poker and live tables contribute 8%, meaning a C$200 wagering base requires C$87,500 of turnover instead of the C$7,000 slots would need. Classic Blackjack, All Aces and Jacks or Better contribute 2%. Baccarat, craps, Sic Bo and Red Dog contribute nothing. Keno and scratch cards, unusually, contribute the full 100%.
Which live game shows are available?
Twelve presenter-led formats including Live Mega Wheel, Live Sweet Bonanza Candy Land, Live Travel Fever, Live Majestic Wheelshow, Live Dice City, Live 24D Spin, Live Snakes and Ladders, Live Bingo The Spot, Live Card Match Up, Live Treasure Island, Live Money Time and Live Exclusive Lounge. Bonus side bets in these formats generally carry a higher house edge than the main wager.
