Spinania Casino Games: What I Found in the Lobby

How the Lobby Is Organized

Spinania sorts its library into four groups: slots, table games, live casino, and crash or instant games. The whole catalog comes to roughly 6,000 titles. Judging by the games the site highlights, slots are the backbone, with live dealers and quick instant games around them.

Which Studios Make the Games

Ten providers are named: BGaming, Novomatic, Playson, Popiplay, VoltEnt, Good Luck Games, Maybrix Studios, Betora, Gamzix and LuckyStreak. That's a nice mix of well-known names and smaller studios, and I enjoy seeing both in one lobby. Novomatic brings the classic casino-floor look, and LuckyStreak is a live-dealer specialist.

Games I'd Point You To

The lobby is large, so it helps to know where to look. I've grouped some titles I'd point you to by game type.

Slots

The hold-and-win crowd is well covered with Mad Jesters: Hold & Win, Lucky Trio Pots Hold and Win and 3x3 Royal Piggy: Hold The Spin. Beyond those you'll find Diamond Strike: Lucky Reels, Burning Chilli X, 4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel, Book of Demi Gods, Zeus Fortune, Hot Chilli Bells, Joker Stoker, Blazing Wins and Fruit Paradise.

Table Games

Roulette fans get Roulette 1, AutoRoulette 1, Autoroulette 2 and Bar Roulette. Blackjack comes as Blackjack 7, Blackjack 16 and Blackjack Switch. There's also Baccarat 4, plus the poker and dice side with Caribbean Stud, Texas Hold'em, Razz and Craps.

Game Shows

Funky Time, Dream Catcher and Monopoly Live. Loud, bright and a nice change of pace from a quiet blackjack table. These are the ones I'd pick for a relaxed evening when I want to be entertained more than I want to concentrate.

Crash and Instant Games

Aviatrix, Aero, Balloon and Golden Plinko. Short rounds, quick results. Good for a few minutes between other things, and a lot of fun when you're in the mood for something fast.

Which Games Count Toward Your Bonus

Not every game moves your wagering forward at the same speed. The table shows what share of each bet counts while a bonus is active.

Slots count in full, which makes them the easiest way to work through a bonus. Table games, live blackjack and game shows are best enjoyed when no bonus is running.

How I'd Play With a Bonus Active

If you have a bonus running, a few habits keep the wagering on track. Here are the five I'd follow.

• Keep slot bets at or below $5, the limit while wagering.
• Keep live casino bets at or below $10.
• Save table games and scratch games for when no bonus is active.
• Use Buy Feature when you like it, knowing it counts 50%.
• Treat instant win games as a break, since they count 5%.

Without a bonus running, none of this applies and you can play what you like. That's when the wider lobby comes into its own, from live tables to quick crash rounds.
