Slots and games
The game library is usually what determines whether an operator suits you. Here's how the categories break down and what to look for when comparing operators.
Slots
Slots make up the majority of most operators' game catalogues — often 80% or more of the total. The difference between a 300-game library and a 1,000-game one is usually the depth of slots content rather than the table game range. Within slots, the main distinctions worth knowing are:
- Classic slots — three reels, simple mechanics. Lower variance, straightforward play.
- Video slots — five or more reels, themed graphics, bonus features like free spins rounds, multipliers and expanding wilds. Most of the modern catalogue falls here.
- Megaways slots — a format from Big Time Gaming (BTG) where the number of ways to win changes on every spin, sometimes into the hundreds of thousands. Very popular; most major studios now license the mechanic.
- Progressive jackpot slots — a portion of each bet feeds a jackpot that grows until it drops. Networks like Microgaming's Jackpot Network pool bets across multiple casinos, which is why jackpots can reach millions.
Among the operators in this comparison, BetMGM carries the largest slot selection at over 1,000 titles. Jackpotjoy has depth in slots alongside a strong bingo section. TigerBet and Los Vegas have narrower catalogues — more focused, less variety.
Table games
Table games — roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker variants — tend to be available at most operators, but the range varies significantly. A large operator might carry 30 or more variants of blackjack alone; a smaller one might offer four or five.
Roulette is almost universal. European roulette (single zero) gives better odds than American (double zero); French roulette with the La Partage rule is better still for even-money bets. It's worth checking which variant is available if this matters to you.
Blackjack variant availability is a meaningful difference between operators. Standard multi-deck blackjack is everywhere; Infinite Blackjack (which lets multiple players bet on the same hand) and Power Blackjack are available on more developed platforms. The game studio behind the variant often determines the exact rule set.
Live casino
Live dealer games are real-time video streams from physical studios, where a human dealer runs the table and players bet through an interface. The leading supplier by some margin is Evolution Gaming (now just Evolution), which licenses its live tables to most UK operators. Pragmatic Play Live and Authentic Gaming are the main alternatives.
Within live casino, the spread typically covers live roulette, live blackjack, live baccarat and game-show formats — Dream Catcher, Crazy Time, Monopoly Live and similar titles from Evolution. These are a genuinely different product from slots and appeal to a different kind of player.
Among the operators here, BetMGM and Mega Casino run Evolution suites. Play Magical also uses Evolution. Jackpotjoy has live casino available. TigerBet and Los Vegas have more limited live offerings.
