How the game types work
Live casino is the clearest example of how a game type works. You join a table that is streamed from a studio, place your bets on the outcome of the round, and the dealer runs the same round for everyone at the table. The live casino games page is the place to read about the round itself.
Slots work differently. Each spin is a random result set by the game, and the paytable shows the symbols and the payout for each combination. Features such as free spins or multipliers change how a spin pays, where a game has them. The slot pages explain those features in more detail.
Two numbers help you compare slots. Return to player shows the share of stakes a game is designed to pay back over a long run. Volatility describes how often wins come and how large they can be. A low-volatility game pays smaller wins more often, and a high-volatility game pays larger wins less often. Neither figure predicts your next spin.
For any game, the rules sit on the game's own page. Read the minimum and maximum bet, how a win is paid and what ends a round. These details differ between games, so the rules of one game do not carry over to another.
New players can also look at the welcome bonus. It is titled 100 chances to win $1 Million for $5, it needs a minimum deposit of C$5, and its wagering is 30x. Its eligible game is Mega Money Wheel (progressive jackpot game). Read the welcome bonus page before you deposit. T&Cs apply.
How the game types and devices differ
Live casino and slot games differ mainly in pace. A live round waits for the dealer and for every player at the table, so it moves more slowly than a slot. A slot round is controlled by the game itself, and you start each spin yourself.
At a live table, the table limits set the smallest and largest bet you can place. Check them on the table before you sit down. For slots, check the bet range before you start a game, so you know what each spin will cost.
Devices are a separate choice. If you play on an iPhone, the iPhone app is available. Any phone can open the mobile site in a browser. Choose the option that suits the device you usually have, and read the game rules on whichever you use.
Offers are a different kind of choice from game types. They come with their own conditions, which are separate from the rules of each game. Read both before you deposit, and do not assume that an offer changes how a game pays.

How to choose where to start
Start with what you want from a session, not with a promise of a result. Each game plays by its own rules, so pick the type that fits the rules you can follow:
- Live casino, if you want a real dealer and a table with set limits.
- Slot games, if you want to compare paytables, features and volatility.
- Any game you already know, if you want to start with rules you understand.
Before you choose, check three things: the bet range or table limits, the maximum win or payout rules, and whether the game suits the device you use. Results are random, and no choice changes the odds of a particular round.
Decide in advance how much you will spend, and stop when you reach that amount. A session is easier to manage when the amount is set before the first bet.
Practical tips before you play
Check the table limits before you join a live table. Keep your internet connection stable during a live round, because a dropped connection can interrupt your play. Read the paytable and the maximum win before you start a slot.
For any offer, check the eligible game, the wagering and the minimum deposit before you deposit. The minimum deposit is C$5, and the minimum withdrawal is C$50. Withdrawals take 48-hour pending period, then usually 2–5 days depending on method, so plan around that timing. See the withdrawals page for details.
Payment methods include Visa / Mastercard, Interac e-Transfer, Interac Online, eCheck, American Express, MuchBetter, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill, InstaDebit, iDebit and Bank transfer. Look at the deposits page to see the options before you play.
