As you may have noticed, casino specialty games are a big deal to us. We want to make sure that your online specialty games experience is as memorable as our first one. For that, we’ve compiled a guide that explains the popularity of these games, points you in the direction of specific specialty games we think you’ll like, and leaves you with some tips on how to maximize your specialty game experience.
Why are Specialty Games so Popular?
The popularity of online casino specialty games lies in the simple gameplay. When people reach for a specialty game, they’re looking for a light thrill—nothing complicated. Table games are often laden with rules, and slots can lead to a longer session than desired, but specialty games provide a well packaged bite-sized dose of adrenaline that can be enjoyed during a quick break. Any one of our scratch cards can be played in well under a minute, and Keno is a breeze when you use the “Quick Pick” feature.
Most Popular Specialty Games
If we held a popularity contest in our Specialty Games section, the winner would be bingo. Bingo fans exist all over the world and the game has even been aired on American game shows, like Bingo America and National Bingo Night. To cater to the global network of bingo fans, we offer European, American, and South American-style bingo games. Each version puts its own unique stamp on the bingo experience. European Bingo, for example, is played on 3X9 grid cards that contain 15 numbers. American Bingo is played on the classic 5X5 grid with a star in the center. Each number has a letter attached to it (either B, I, N, G or O).
Our South American-inspired bingo games, meanwhile, take you on themed adventures throughout the continent. You could play bingo in the Amazon or beside rushing waterfalls—without leaving home. These are the only bingo games to offer bonus features such as progressive jackpots, extra balls, and bonus rounds.
How are the Jackpots Calculated?
Most of our themed bingo games have progressive jackpots included as bonuses. These jackpots may appear random at first glance, but the reason they’re such specific amounts of money (think $27,192.45) is because they’re funded by a percentage of incoming bets. A portion of each real money specialty games bet placed on the game with the jackpot is put into the pot, which continues to build over time. As a result, the more action a game gets, the bigger the progressive jackpot will be.
If jackpots are on your radar, make sure to read the eligibility requirements in the game rules. To be eligible for most progressive jackpots, you must play four cards per round at a minimal cost of $1 per card. Most jackpots are triggered by hitting Bingo when a maximum of 30 balls are drawn.
Real Money Specialty Games You Can Play
All the games in our Specialty section can be played on Practice Play mode and for real money. The options include 11 bingo games, eight scratch cards, two versions of Keno, and a casino-version of Sudoku—designed by Rival Gaming.
Bingo, one of our most popular specialty games, is played with a large pool of numbers (the amount depends on the version you’re playing). From that pool, a random selection is drawn for the bingo card. The lottery consists of a certain amount of numbered balls being drawn from the pool; any matches on your cards comprise a “hit.” If you get enough hits to form a winning pattern, you win the payout listed on the paytable. Don’t forget to yell Bingo!
You can play online bingo in our casino with the following 11 versions:
• 30 Ball Bingo, 80 Ball Bingo
These versions use 30 and 80-number pools respectively. The 30-Ball version requires a coverall to win (nine numbers on the card), whereas the 80-Ball version requires one of seven winning patterns to win. With both versions, you choose how many numbers you want drawn from a choice of three.
• American Bingo, European Bingo
American Bingo is played with a 5X5 card comprising 24 numbers plus one freebie. Each number is associated with a letter. European Bingo is played a little differently. The cards have three rows that form a 3X9 grid. Each row has five numbers and four blank spaces that act as freebies.
• Go-Go Bingo
Anyone looking for mobile bingo games will get the best experience from Go-Go Bingo, which has been adapted to suit a variety of game screens. Let your style shine through by selecting your own background color in the game settings. Each round automatically comes with four bingo cards.
• Themed Bingo
Experience bingo in a new way by opting for one of our six themed bingo games. These are fully loaded with progressive jackpots, Extra Balls features where you can purchase extra bingo numbers, bonus rounds, and a “Change Cards” function—just in case you don’t like the numbers you got. Our themed bingo selection includes Amazonia Bingo, Cataratas Bingo, Bingo Goal, Bingo Ribeirinhos, Pesca Bingo, and Tribo Bingo.
Scratch Cards
Scratch cards are another popular specialty games pick in our online Specialty Games section. These come preloaded with payout potential. Simply purchase a card for however much you want, keeping in mind the bigger the stake, the bigger the payout, and then wiggle your cursor back and forth to see if your card has at least three matching icons. Our scratch cards include Beach Bums, Cast for Cash, Cavalier Cash, Gunslinger’s Gold, Itchin’ 2 Win, Penguin Payday, Pirate’s Pillage and Tiki Treasure.
Keno
Keno is a numbers lottery game like bingo, but what makes it unique is that you select your own numbers from a pool of 80. You can do this manually, or automatically with the My Numbers feature in Keno Draw. If you’re not sure which numbers to go with, simply use “Quick Pick” to select 15 numbers in the blink of an eye. When you’re ready, the lottery begins, and 20 winning numbers are selected at random.
Sudoku
You’re not expected to re-arrange numbers in our casino-version of Sudoku. Instead, simply hit the “Spin” button and watch nine numbers appear on the 3X3 grid. If you get three or more matching numbers, you win a standard payout; if you get numbers 1-9, you win a jackpot.
Strategies and Tips
With specialty games, there’s no way to influence the outcome of a round once the action starts. But you can be strategic in your approach to game selection and betting configurations. Keep these following four tips in mind when getting ready to play.
Compare Paytables
Scratch cards are not all equal. Take advantage of how easy it is to compare online scratch cards for the biggest payouts. Most scratch cards have a maximum of a 50X payout, but Penguin Payday has up to 80X payouts.
Compare Jackpots
If you went to buy a lottery ticket and were asked if you wanted the $2 million lotto or the $6 million one—both for the same ticket price and odds of winning—which one would you choose? The same concept goes for our themed bingos, which have unique progressive jackpots attached. Find the one with the biggest jackpot and then make sure you’re eligible for it.
Jackpot Eligibility
Some of our online casino’s specialty games come with jackpots that have eligibility requirements. For instance, if you’re looking to play online bingo for real money and want to be eligible for the jackpot, you must play with four bingo cards at a cost of $1 per card or more. Sudoku also has a jackpots for landing all nine digits, but you must be playing the 5-coin max to be eligible.
Rules
Just because you know how to play a game doesn’t mean you should skip reading the rules in the Game Menu. Sometimes you’ll find valuable information that can contribute to making an informed decision. For example, in Keno Draw, the second page of rules states that the maximum payout for the game is $250,000. That’s big money for a simple game.
Sometimes simplicity and big payout potential are all we want out of an online casino session. While table games, dice games, and slots will always dominate the scene, casino specialty games should have a place in every casino player’s roster of picks. They help keep things light and easy, which is just perfect for winding down after a busy day.
