Beyond slots: what else sits in the WinShark catalogue and how those formats play.
WinShark lists table and card games and live dealer games. The operator puts the whole catalogue at around 4,200 games, counting every category together. What follows is a look at the catalogue sideways rather than downwards: what the categories are, how differently they play, and how much of the list we could check for ourselves. Reels, paylines and RTP live on the slots page and are not repeated here.
| Catalogue size (as listed) | about 4,200 games, all types |
| Categories listed | Table and card games, Live dealer games |
| What we saw ourselves | 3 titles recorded in our snapshot (a sample, not the full lobby) |
| Mobile | Yes |
Figures marked as listed come from WinShark; the snapshot line is what our own check of the lobby returned.
A sample of what was on the shelves when we looked — no order of merit implied:
Recorded 3 titles against a listed catalogue of about 4,200. Lobbies also change: games come and go, and what is visible can depend on where you are and whether you are signed in.
The categories are not just shelves. They differ in pace and in how much the player actually does:
Table and card games — Outcomes still come from a random generator, but the player chooses when to hit, stand, split or raise, so the sequence of decisions is theirs. Live dealer games — A human dealer runs the table on video and the round only moves when the studio moves it. That fixed rhythm makes a session longer per round than anything played against software.
Side by side, the difference is pace and how often you act:
| Category | Pace of a round | What the player decides |
|---|---|---|
| Table and card games | medium | the player acts on every hand |
| Live dealer games | slow, set by the studio | limited to betting windows |
Descriptive, not measured: these are properties of the formats themselves, the same at any operator that carries them.
The 4,200 figure covers everything the operator counts as a game — slots, tables, live rooms and anything on the specialty shelf, added together. It is not a slot count, and it is not a promise that all of it is open to you: regional rules and licensing decide what a given account sees.
Set against our own pass, our pass returned 3, which is too few to say anything about the total one way or the other. We would rather show the gap than quote the headline as though we had counted it.
A live table is a scheduled thing. Bets open, bets close, the dealer acts, and none of it waits for you — which makes it the slowest corner of the lobby and, for the same reason, the hardest to play absent-mindedly.
Practically: expect higher minimums than the RNG versions of the same games, and expect connection quality to matter in a way it never does on a slot. A frozen stream during a betting window is a missed hand, not a glitch you can replay.
A catalogue listing is not the same as a catalogue you can open. Game availability in Canada is settled province by province: licensing, the operator's own agreements and studio-level restrictions all trim what appears for a given account. Two people in different provinces can open the same lobby and see different shelves.
This is also why our snapshot is a snapshot. It reflects one check from one place at one time, and it is not a guarantee that a title we listed will be there for you.
Where free play is offered, use it before committing. Ten minutes on fake credits tells you the one thing that matters and that no write-up conveys: whether the pace of this particular game suits how you like to play.
The gaps are predictable. Live dealer games cannot be demoed, since the table is real and running. Regional rules can also gate demo play behind registration.
Stake size gets the attention; rounds per hour does the damage. Two games at the same stake can differ fivefold in how fast they cycle, and the faster one will empty a balance in a fraction of the time while feeling identical minute to minute.
This is a good reason to notice which formats you gravitate toward, and a good reason to fix a limit before starting rather than during. The responsible gambling page covers the tools for that.
Table games are the part of the lobby where what you do changes the result. Not the odds of the shuffle — those belong to the generator — but the outcome of a hand, which depends on whether you played it well. Blackjack has a correct move for every combination, published and memorisable.
This cuts both ways. Games with decisions feel more controllable, and that feeling outlasts the actual control: the house edge is still there, it just sits behind a layer of skill. Playing well narrows it. Nothing removes it.
Studio names are the most useful labels in a lobby and the most ignored. They are a reliable shortcut to how a game will feel, in a way that theme and artwork never are: two games with the same maker have more in common than two games with the same theme.
A word on list length: a hundred suppliers does not mean a hundred deals. It means an aggregator sitting between the casino and the studios, supplying the whole shelf at once.
A few thousand titles is more than anyone browses. What helps:
It is a sample, not an index. We list what we saw so the review rests on something checkable, not to catalogue the site.
No — the lobby is filtered before it reaches you, first by provincial rules and then by whatever restrictions each studio carries.
Usually yes — operators count live tables alongside everything else. It is one reason a headline number can look larger than the slot selection alone.
On their own page. Reel formats, features, RTP and volatility are all handled in the slots section rather than repeated here.
That is the figure the operator lists, and it counts every category together — slots, tables, live rooms and specialty titles. Our own check recorded 3 titles, so treat the headline number as the operator's claim rather than something we counted.
