FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are scratch card games in online casinos?
Digital scratch cards simulate the instant-win format of physical lottery scratch tickets. Players pay a stake and reveal a hidden grid of symbols, winning if they match a defined combination. Outcomes are RNG-determined. They are among the simplest casino games with near-instant results, and providers like Hacksaw Gaming and Microgaming offer extensive scratch card catalogues.
What is a crash game?
A crash game is a relatively new casino format where a multiplier starts at 1x and climbs rapidly. Players must cash out before the multiplier "crashes" to zero. The higher the multiplier at cash-out, the larger the win. The crash point is RNG-determined and statistically unpredictable. Aviator by Spribe is the most widely deployed crash game globally.
What is virtual sports betting?
Virtual sports are RNG-simulated sporting events — horse racing, football, greyhounds, tennis — that run on a fixed schedule or on demand, regardless of real-world sporting calendars. Players bet on simulated outcomes. The events are rendered in realistic 3D animations and results are determined by a certified RNG. Major virtual sports providers include Kiron Interactive and Global Bet.
What is online keno?
Keno is a lottery-style game where players select a set of numbers (typically from a pool of 1–80) and a RNG draws a set of winning numbers. Payouts depend on how many selected numbers match the drawn numbers. Digital keno offers fast draw cycles, multiple payline configurations, and variable stake levels.
What is an arcade-style casino game?
Arcade-style casino games borrow mechanics from video games — shooting targets, racing games, skill-based elements — combined with casino-style random outcomes and wagering. They are designed to appeal to a younger demographic comfortable with video game mechanics. Examples include Banana Rock by NetEnt and various fishing games popular in Asian markets.
What is live game show format?
Live game show format games combine a live studio presenter with game show mechanics — large spinning wheels, bonus multipliers, pachinko-style boards, and audience interaction. Evolution pioneered this with Dream Catcher (2017) and expanded with Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, and Mega Ball. They attract players who want entertainment beyond traditional casino game formats.
What is online bingo software?
Online bingo software generates random bingo cards and draws numbers according to the chosen variant (90-ball, 75-ball, 80-ball). Modern online bingo platforms include chat rooms, side games, progressive jackpots, and automated dabbing (auto-marking called numbers). Providers like Pragmatic Play and Playtech offer dedicated bingo software.
