Gambling games like Roobet: what transfers and what does not

Crash, Roulette, Towers, Mines, Blackjack and Dice is a short list by the standards of a lobby with sixty-four suppliers behind it, and that is the point of it: the six are the games that make the brand recognisable, and they are the ones Roobet controls end to end. Two of the six — roulette and blackjack — are formats older than the industry, and the other four are formats every crypto casino in this set either builds or buys.

The formats are common. The games are not. When an alternative in this set is recorded as running house originals, that means it has built its own versions, and their odds, their limits, their interface and their verification are its own. A game called Mines turns up in a good many of these lobbies; Roobet's Mines does not, and no table on this site will pretend otherwise.

Eighteen of the forty-one build originals of their own: BC.Game, Wolf.bet, Rocketpot, Wild.io, Metaspins, Bitsler, Flush, Rainbet, DuckDice, JacksClub, Bitcasino.io, Rakebit, Shuffle, Thunderpick, Fairspin, BetFury, TrustDice and BitStarz. For the other twenty-three, our library holds no record of house games, which means we have not recorded one rather than that the operator has none.

House games are the part of a lobby with no third party in it. A licensed slot is built by a studio, certified by whoever certifies it and served to many operators; a house game is written by the operator whose money is on the other side of the bet. Provably fair verification is the answer this market has settled on: the operator commits to a seed before the round and publishes enough afterwards for the player to reproduce the result.

Nineteen of the forty-one alternatives are recorded as running it. Twelve of those also build originals, which is the combination that makes the mechanism worth having — BC.Game, Wolf.bet, Wild.io, Metaspins, Bitsler, Flush, Rainbet, DuckDice, JacksClub, Rakebit, Shuffle and Thunderpick. Six build originals with no provably fair record on file: Rocketpot, Bitcasino.io, Fairspin, BetFury, TrustDice and BitStarz. Seven have the verification record without an originals record: Bspin, Cloudbet, LTC Casino, Stake, Primedice, Mirax and KatsuBet.

Our library holds neither flag for Roobet itself. That is a gap in our record, not a finding about Roobet: it means nothing read for this library recorded a verification mechanism on Roobet's house games either way. The six game names come from Roobet's game policy, which is one of the seven documents its terms name as forming the agreement, and what that policy says about checking a result is not something this page has read.

There is a category of studio that exists to sell the formats Roobet builds itself — crash curves, mine grids, plinko boards, dice — to operators who would rather license them than write them. Looking for those studios in the supplier lists is a cleaner test of the difference than counting studios in total, because it separates the operators that outsourced the fast games from the ones that did not.

Six such names appear across the twenty-three lists on file, and Roobet's record carries none of the six. Spribe and Onlyplay are on thirteen lists each, SmartSoft on nine, Turbo Games on eight, Mancala on seven and Galaxsys on two. Roobet's record does carry the two general studios that also publish fast formats, BGaming on seventeen lists and Evoplay on fourteen, which is the same position most of this market is in.

Seven brands are on both sides of the line at once, running their own originals and carrying Spribe's licensed format as well: Wolf.bet, Wild.io, Bitsler, DuckDice, Bitcasino.io, Fairspin and BetFury. If the object is to find a familiar fast game rather than a specific one, those seven are where both routes exist in the same lobby.

The other half of the lobby is portable, and the useful question is not how many studios an alternative has but how many of Roobet's it has. Taking the sixty-four names in Roobet's record one at a time and counting how many of the twenty-two alternative lists carry each gives a map of which parts of the floor are easy to find again and which are not.

Sixty-one of the sixty-four appear on at least one alternative list. Spread across the whole field, almost everything Roobet's lobby is stocked with is available somewhere else. Concentrated in any single alternative, it is not: the largest number of Roobet's suppliers any one alternative carries is thirty-seven, at Bitcasino.io, which is a little over half.

The distribution is heavily top-loaded. Seven of Roobet's sixty-four are effectively universal, on sixteen or more of the twenty-two lists — Hacksaw Gaming, Evolution, Endorphina, Pragmatic Play, Booming Games, BGaming and NetEnt. A further twenty-one sit on between ten and fifteen. Then it falls away: twenty-six names are on nine lists or fewer, and ten are on three or fewer. The bottom of that distribution is where a move actually costs something, and it is the part nobody advertises.

Three names in Roobet's record appear on no other list in the set as spelled: Eurasian Gaming Slots, MLive and OneTouch Live. Two of those three are live-dealer suppliers, the field where exclusive arrangements are most common and where different operators are most likely to spell the same firm differently, so the figure should be read as three names not found rather than three firms proven exclusive.

A supplier list is the finest grain this library holds, and it is coarse. It records that an operator has an agreement with a studio. It does not record which of that studio's games are loaded, how many there are, or how they are configured. Where a studio ships a game at several return-to-player settings, the choice belongs to the operator, and not one of the forty-two operators here publishes which setting it uses.

That is why this site prints no return-to-player figures, no game counts and no game titles beyond the six Roobet's own policy names. All three are standard furniture on comparison pages and all three would have to be invented or copied from somebody else to appear here. Where a specific game matters to a reader, the lobby's own provider filter answers the question in about ten seconds and this page cannot answer it at all.

Sixteen of the forty-one sites like Roobet in this set carry neither an originals record nor a provably fair record, and nineteen have no supplier list on file. For those brands the game side of the comparison is genuinely empty. Saying so is the only honest option, and it is a better guide to how much an operator discloses than any list of features could be.
