Why these thirteen
We started from a simple list: the titles people type into a search bar from Halifax to Victoria and the ones that fill streaming clips. Some are slots, some are live shows, some last a few seconds. We don't claim every casino carries every title, including the five we review. What we do is explain how each one works, which figures the studio publishes, and what your money buys per round.
One thing holds across the list: the return figure printed in a game's help screen can differ from one casino to the next, because many studios let the operator pick between several versions. Our online slots guide shows where to read it.
Slots: you're buying spins
- Sweet Bonanza: the 2019 candy grid that made "pay anywhere" mainstream, and its 1000 remake with much bigger bombs.
- Gates of Olympus: Zeus drops multipliers on any spin, not only in the bonus; three versions now exist.
- Sugar Rush 1000: a 7x7 board where a winning square keeps doubling its multiplier, up to 1,024x.
- Big Bass Bonanza: ten fixed lines and a fisherman who reels in cash fish; the root of a very long family.
- Book of Dead: Rich Wilde, one expanding symbol, and a bonus round that can do nothing or everything.
- Wanted Dead or a Wild: a western with three separate bonus rounds and very long quiet stretches.
- Le Bandit: a raccoon thief, golden squares and a lighter tone than most games from the same studio.
Live game shows: you're betting on a presenter's wheel or ball
- Crazy Time: a presenter, a big money wheel and four bonus games; learn which bets feed which bonus before you place any.
- Lightning Roulette: European roulette where a few numbers get struck with multipliers each round, and a straight-up win pays less than usual to fund them.
Instant games: you're choosing when to stop
- Aviator: the crash game that started the trend; the plane climbs, you cash out, or it leaves without you.
- Plinko: a ball bounces through pegs into a slot at the bottom; you set the risk level and the number of rows.
- Chicken Road: a chicken crosses lane after lane, each step raising the payout and the chance of getting flattened.
- Mines: flip tiles on a grid and walk away before you uncover a mine; you choose how many are hidden.
Last group, same warning: these rounds take seconds, so a $20 budget can vanish faster than a double-double cools down. Decide the number of rounds before the first one.
Who makes them
Four of the slots above come from Pragmatic Play. The rest split between Hacksaw Gaming, Play'n GO, Evolution and Spribe, among others. Our game provider guides go through each studio, and who makes the games explains the chain between a studio and the casino lobby. Chasing a huge prize? See jackpot slots.

Frequently asked questions
Are these games available for free?
Most slots and many instant games have a demo mode with play credits. Live shows such as Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette have no demo, because a real presenter runs every round.
Which of these games has the highest RTP?
It depends on the version a casino installs, so the only reliable number is the one in the game's help screen where you play. Each guide lists the figure the studio publishes for its standard version.
Do the five casinos you review carry all thirteen games?
We don't promise any specific title. Each lobby is large and changes often, so use the search box before depositing.
Which game suits a small budget?
Games with a low minimum stake and a lower volatility stretch a budget furthest. Instant games look cheap per round but run very fast, so count rounds, not stakes.
