Beyond slots: what else sits in the Captain Cook catalogue and how those formats play.
Captain Cook lists table and card games and jackpot games. The operator puts the whole catalogue at around 4,200 games, counting every category together. What follows is a look at the catalogue sideways rather than downwards: what the categories are, how differently they play, and how much of the list we could check for ourselves. Reels, paylines and RTP live on the slots page and are not repeated here.
| Catalogue size (as listed) | about 4,200 games, all types |
| Categories listed | Table and card games, Jackpot games |
| What we saw ourselves | 4 titles recorded in our snapshot (a sample, not the full lobby) |
| Mobile | Yes |
Figures marked as listed come from Captain Cook; the snapshot line is what our own check of the lobby returned.
The same categories, compared on the two things that change a session:
| Category | Pace of a round | What the player decides |
|---|---|---|
| Table and card games | medium | the player acts on every hand |
| Jackpot games | same as the base game | none beyond the stake |
Descriptive, not measured: these are properties of the formats themselves, the same at any operator that carries them.
What we recorded in the lobby. It is a slice of the catalogue, not all of it:
Recorded 4 titles against a listed catalogue of about 4,200. Lobbies also change: games come and go, and what is visible can depend on where you are and whether you are signed in.
The categories are not just shelves. They differ in pace and in how much the player actually does:
A catalogue number like 4,200 is a total, not a menu. It adds every category together, counts regional variants of the same game separately more often than not, and says nothing about how much of it will load for you specifically.
Set against our own pass, our pass returned 4, which is too few to say anything about the total one way or the other. We would rather show the gap than quote the headline as though we had counted it.
Canada does not regulate this nationally, and that shows up directly in what loads. Each province sets its own terms, studios carry their own territorial restrictions, and operators layer their own agreements on top. The result is that the lobby is assembled per account rather than served identically to everyone.
So treat any list of titles — ours included — as indicative. It describes what was visible from one place, once.
How often new games appear is a quiet signal about the operator. Fresh supply costs money and attention, so a lobby that keeps growing is usually attached to a business still investing in itself. One frozen in amber usually is not.
It also means any list ages. Ours was accurate when taken and is drifting from the moment it was published.
Jackpot titles are usually filed separately even though the games underneath are ordinary. What sets them apart is the pool: a slice of every stake across every casino running that game feeds one prize until somebody takes it. That is why the figure on screen is enormous and why it resets to a floor afterwards.
The trade is in the base game. Money diverted to the pool comes out of ordinary wins, so the everyday rhythm of a jackpot title is usually flatter than its non-jackpot equivalent.
Different formats consume time differently, and that matters more than it sounds. A fast round played repeatedly gets through a balance quicker than a slow one at the same stake — not because the maths differ, but because there are more of them per hour. Live tables are the natural brake here: the dealer sets the pace and you cannot speed it up.
Setting a limit before starting works better than deciding mid-session. There is more on that on the responsible gambling page.
Before the first round, it is worth knowing:
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Which categories count toward a bonus | they rarely count equally — see bonus terms for how that works here. |
| Minimum and maximum stakes | these sit on the game itself and vary widely between formats. |
| What the game actually is | titles borrow each other's names freely — a slot and a live show can share one, and they are nothing alike to play. |
A supplier list is more informative than a catalogue count. Studios have house styles that survive across their whole range: some build long, patient games where little happens for stretches, others build short and violent ones. Recognising two or three names you get on with narrows a lobby faster than any filter.
A long supplier list usually means the operator buys through aggregators rather than signing studios directly. That is normal, and it is why the same games show up across unrelated casinos.
That is the figure the operator lists, and it counts every category together — slots, tables, live rooms and specialty titles. Our own check recorded 4 titles, so treat the headline number as the operator's claim rather than something we counted.
On their own page. Reel formats, features, RTP and volatility are all handled in the slots section rather than repeated here.
No. It is what one pass through the lobby recorded, shown as examples rather than as an inventory. Lobbies are edited constantly.
No. Availability is decided provincially, and studio-level restrictions apply on top of that. What loads for one account may not load for another.
