The VegasNow game lobby, section by section
Pokies, live dealer tables, card games and hosted game shows share one lobby and one balance. This page explains what sits in each section, which studios supply it, how each type of game counts toward a bonus, and how to find a title quickly.

Four sections hold the casino floor
We organise the lobby by the way a game plays, because that is usually how people decide what they want next.
Head for the reels →Pokies
The largest section by far. Book-style classics, tumbling grids with multipliers, money-symbol respins and very high-volatility line games. The online pokies page sorts them by mechanic.
Live game shows
Hosted wheels and bonus rounds streamed from a studio. Crazy Time is the best known, with four bonus games and a Top Slot multiplier.
Live tables
Roulette, blackjack and baccarat with a human dealer. The live casino page covers seating, side bets and how the multipliers on Lightning Roulette work.
Card and table games
Titles such as Three Card Poker and Baruto Baccarat sit alongside the dealer tables, for players who prefer a card game to a reel.
Some reel games borrow from other formats. Big Bass Dice and Fruit Party Dice swap traditional symbols for dice faces, and The Great Pigsby Megaways changes the number of ways to win from spin to spin. We keep them in the pokies section because they behave like pokies: a spin, a result and, sometimes, a feature round.
Four ways to land on the right game
The lobby is large, and scrolling is the slowest way through it.
Search by title
The search box accepts part of a name. "Olympus" brings up Gates of Olympus, Gates of Olympus 1000 and Gates of Olympus Super Scatter together, which is handy when a game has several versions.
Search by provider
The same box accepts a studio name. If you already know you like the way BGaming or Novomatic build their games, start there and browse that studio's shelf on its own.
Browse a category
Categories separate pokies, live casino and table games. Staying inside one category keeps the results to the kind of game you are in the mood for.
Keep a Saved games list
Save any game and it waits in your Saved games list next time you sign in. Because the list belongs to your account, it is the same on your phone and your computer.
Who makes the games in our lobby
Studios we can name with titles on the shelf. Others supply the lobby as well; these are the ones most players ask about.
| Studio | Known for | Titles in our lobby |
|---|---|---|
| Pragmatic Play | Tumbling grids, multipliers, dice-style reels | Gates of Olympus, Gates of Olympus 1000, Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, Chilli Heat |
| Pragmatic Play Live | Live roulette | Fortune Roulette |
| Novomatic | Classic book-style pokies | Book of Ra, Book of Ra deluxe, Book of Ra Magic |
| BGaming | Character-led pokies with published volatility | Elvis Frog in Vegas, Wild Cash x9990 |
| Evolution | Live game shows and dealer tables | Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, XXXTreme Lightning Roulette, blackjack tables |
| Belatra | Video pokies | Part of the pokies section |
A studio's name tells you a lot before you play. Providers publish game sheets with the reel layout, feature rules and, in many cases, the return to player and maximum win. Where we quote those numbers on this site, they come from the provider's own page. Evolution's descriptions are on games.evolution.com, and Pragmatic Play's on its Gates of Olympus game page and similar pages for each title.
Six games, with the numbers their makers publish
A quick reference for some of the most-opened titles. Blank columns mean the provider does not state that figure.
| Game | Studio | Format | Published figures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | Pragmatic Play | 6 reels, tumbling, pays anywhere for 8+ matching symbols | RTP 96.50%; multipliers up to 500×; 15 free spins from 4+ scatters |
| Gates of Olympus Super Scatter | Pragmatic Play | Tumbling grid with Super Scatters | Max win 50,000× |
| Elvis Frog in Vegas | BGaming | Video pokie | RTP 95.3%; medium-high volatility; max win 2,500× |
| Wild Cash x9990 | BGaming | 10 lines, bonus game with ×3 or ×10 | RTP 96.1%; very high volatility; max win 10,490×; hit rate 11.55% |
| Book of Ra Magic | Novomatic | 5 reels, 10 lines | Volatility 5 on Novomatic's scale; 10 free games |
| Chilli Heat | Pragmatic Play | 5 reels × 3 rows | Money-symbol feature from 6+ symbols with 3 respins |
Live games follow different rules. Lightning Roulette pays a straight-up number at 29:1 unless it is struck as a Lightning Number, in which case it pays the multiplier, anywhere from 50× to 500×. Crazy Time publishes an RTP range of 94.41% to 96.08%, depending on which spot you back, and its top bonus round can reach 20,000×.
What the blackjack tables offer
Blackjack is the live section's deepest shelf, and the variants differ more than their names suggest.
Live blackjack in detail →- Standard tables seat seven. When every seat is taken, Bet Behind lets you stake on a seated player's hand and share its result.
- Infinite Blackjack has no seat limit. Every player plays the same starting cards and makes their own decisions from there.
- Side bets are available on most tables. Perfect Pairs pays on a mixed, coloured or perfect pair in your first two cards; 21+3 pays on a poker hand made from your two cards and the dealer's upcard.
- Infinite and Power Blackjack add more side bets. Any Pair, Hot 3 and Bust It appear on those variants.
- Power Blackjack changes the shoe. It uses eight decks with the 9s and 10s removed, while the picture cards stay in.
Deck counts and table limits vary by variant, so check the information panel before you sit down. Remember that blackjack counts at 10% toward bonus wagering and earns one loyalty point per A$250, so it is best played with your own balance rather than with a bonus running.
Matching a game to the money you brought
A simple way to think about stake size before you open anything.
Start with the amount you are happy to spend in a session, then decide how many rounds you want from it. With A$100 and a plan for around 200 spins, the stake works out at 50 cents. On a low-volatility pokie that budget will usually last close to the plan; on a very high-volatility game it may run out sooner or be extended by one larger win. Live tables move faster in money terms because minimum stakes are usually higher than on reels, so the same A$100 covers fewer rounds.
If you are playing with a welcome bonus, add the A$8 stake limit and the 7-day window to the sum. A A$6,000 target spread over seven days is A$857 a day in qualifying bets. If that does not fit the way you play, declining the bonus is a perfectly reasonable choice, and our bonuses page sets out the alternatives.
How each section counts toward wagering
Bonus funds carry 40× wagering, and not every bet counts at the same rate.
| Section | Wagering contribution | Bets needed to clear a A$150 bonus (A$6,000 target) |
|---|---|---|
| Pokies | 100%, with some exceptions | A$6,000 |
| Roulette | 25% | A$24,000 |
| Blackjack | 10% | A$60,000 |
| Live game shows | 10% | A$60,000 |
| Baccarat | 0% | Does not count |
The A$150 example comes straight from the first welcome stage: a A$100 deposit matched at 150%. Forty times A$150 is A$6,000, and on pokies that is the amount you need to stake. Move the same target onto roulette and every A$100 bet only clears A$25, so the total climbs to A$24,000. On blackjack it reaches A$60,000. That is why most players who want to clear a bonus stay on the reels and save the tables for their own money.
Every section earns points, at different speeds
Real-money play builds toward our seven-level loyalty programme. The earning rate follows a pattern similar to the wagering table: pokies earn one point for every A$25 wagered, roulette one point per A$100, and blackjack and baccarat one point per A$250.
In practice, A$1,000 wagered on pokies earns 40 points, the same amount on roulette earns 10, and on blackjack it earns 4. At the entry level, 200 points convert into a A$5 bonus in the Loyalty Store, and bonuses from points carry 40× wagering like any other.
The rates and level names are set out on the loyalty and VIP page.

The Great Pigsby MegawaysReturn to player, volatility and fair expectations
Two numbers come up whenever people compare games. Return to player, or RTP, is the share of all money staked on a game that it is designed to pay back over a very long run. A pokie listed at 96.50% is expected to return A$96.50 for every A$100 staked across millions of spins. It is a property of the game's maths, not a forecast for an evening, and an hour of play can finish well above or well below it.
Volatility describes how a game spreads its payouts. A low-volatility game pays smaller amounts more often; a very high-volatility game such as Wild Cash x9990 can go many spins without much and then pay a large win. BGaming publishes that game's hit rate as 11.55%, meaning a winning spin roughly once in every nine. Neither type is better. They suit different budgets and different moods.
