Mister X Casino Games: 4,183 Titles, Live Tables and Jackpots

What you can play: the categories in our lobby

The games at Mister X Casino are grouped so you can go straight to the kind of play you are in the mood for. Video slots make up the biggest part of the library, followed by live dealer tables, jackpot games and the quicker instant-win formats. Casino, live tables and sports betting all sit under one account, so you move between them without a second balance.

Because 73 different studios supply the lobby, the same category can feel very different from one title to the next. A classic three-reel slot from an older studio pays in a straight line; a modern release from the same section might drop symbols in clusters and multiply wins instead.

Video slots: the titles players open most

Slots are where most of our players spend their spins, and the shelf covers both the familiar names and the newer mechanics. Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Dead or Alive 2, Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Wanted Dead or a Wild all sit in the lobby, alongside Cleopatra, Fire Joker, 40 Burning Hot, Temple Tumble Megaways, Fruit Party 2 and Fire in the Hole.

Bonus buy slots, sometimes labelled feature buy, let you pay a set multiple of your stake to go straight into the free spins round rather than waiting for scatters to land. The price is fixed by the game, not by us, and it is shown on the buy button before you confirm. These rounds swing harder than base play in both directions, so treat the buy price as the stake for that round.

• New releases arrive from the studios we work with and sit in their own section, so a game you played last month is easy to find again
• Megaways and cluster titles change the number of ways to win on every spin instead of using fixed lines
• Must-drop and progressive slots add a prize pool on top of the normal paytable
• Classic fruit machines keep short paytables and no feature rounds, which suits smaller stakes and longer sessions

Try a slot in demo mode before you stake money

A selection of our slots can be opened in demo mode with play credits, including Tropical Holiday Buy Feature, Elves Bombs, Grandma's Pets, Devil Bonus Lock 2 Spin and Break the Bank. Demo play uses the same maths as the real-money version, so it is a fair way to learn a paytable, see how often a feature triggers and decide whether the volatility suits you.

1. Open the title you want to learn

   Pick a slot from the lobby that offers demo play and launch it.

2. Switch to the practice credits

   Choose the demo or fun option rather than real play. The balance you see is play money and cannot be withdrawn.

3. Read the paytable first

   Check how the feature triggers, what the top symbol pays and whether the game uses lines, ways or clusters.

4. Test a few bet sizes

   Spin at the stake you would actually use and watch how long the balance lasts between features.

5. Decide, then switch to real play

   If the pace and the swings suit you, move to your cash balance at the same stake.

Our live dealer tables and how a session runs

Our live games are streamed from dedicated studios with real dealers handling the cards, the wheel and the dice. You place bets through the interface during the betting window, the dealer calls time, and the round plays out in front of you. The spread covers live blackjack, live roulette, live baccarat, live poker, live dice games and live game shows.

Grab the bonus

Table limits are displayed in the lobby before you take a seat, so you can match a table to your budget rather than finding out after you join. On busier tables you will also find side bets and bet-behind, which lets you back another seated player's hand when every seat is taken.

• Check the minimum and maximum stake in the lobby first, so one hand never takes a big slice of your balance
• Side bets usually carry a higher house edge than the main bet, so size them smaller
• Bet-behind follows the seated player's decisions, not yours, so pick a seat that plays the way you would
• Live rounds run on the dealer's clock, which makes it easier to spend more per hour than on slots

Blackjack, roulette, baccarat and dice: the return figures

Table games reward a little homework, because the return depends on the variant and on how you play the hand. The figures below are the ones published for our tables.

A worked example makes the roulette number concrete. Staking £1 a spin for 100 spins puts £100 through the table; at 97.3% RTP the long-run expectation is £97.30 back, so roughly £2.70 is the cost of the entertainment. That average only shows up over thousands of spins. Over 100 spins you might be £40 up or £40 down, which is the part the percentage never tells you.

Blackjack is the one game on the list where your decisions move the number. The 99% - 99.5% range assumes basic strategy on every hand, meaning you stand, hit, split and double by the chart rather than by instinct. Deviate from it and the real return drops, whatever the table pays.

Alongside the live tables we also carry the standard software versions of blackjack, roulette, poker, baccarat, craps and dice, which deal instantly and let you take as long as you like over a decision.

Progressive and must-drop jackpots

Our jackpot section pools a slice of every qualifying stake into prizes that grow until someone wins them. The combined prize pool across those games currently stands at £27,559,191 and the figure updates in real time, so it moves while you are looking at it.

Two kinds sit side by side. A progressive jackpot builds with no ceiling until a player triggers it. A must-drop jackpot has to pay out before a set point, which is usually a prize value or a time window shown in the game itself. Both are chance events on top of the slot's normal paytable, and the odds of landing one are long on any single spin, so a jackpot title is best treated as a slot you enjoy that happens to carry a bigger top prize.

Quick games, instant wins and the number formats

If you want a result in a few seconds rather than a feature round, the quick games section is built for that. Crash games ask you to cash out before a rising multiplier breaks. Dice games and number-draw formats settle on a single roll or draw. Virtual scratch cards reveal the outcome the moment you uncover the panel.

Next to them you'll find video poker, where the paytable and your hold decisions drive the return, plus bingo, keno and scratch cards. These games are short, so stakes mount up faster than the clock suggests. Setting yourself a number of rounds before you start works better here than setting a time limit.

The studios that supply our games

Seventy-three studios feed the lobby, which is why the same category covers such different play styles. Among them are NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Microgaming, Playtech, Nolimit City, Quickspin, Push Gaming, Elk Studios, Novomatic, Red Tiger, Relax Gaming, Wazdan, iSoftBet, Amatic, EGT, IGT, Barcrest, WMS, Kajot, Igrosoft and Rival.

Knowing the studio is a quick shortcut to knowing the game. Nolimit City and Push Gaming lean towards high volatility with long dry spells and big feature potential. EGT, Amatic and Novomatic build the steadier fruit-style machines. Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO and NetEnt sit in between, with the names most players recognise.

Other titles in the lobby come from studios including Hacksaw Gaming, with Le Bandit, Hand of Anubis and Toshi Video Club, Big Time Gaming's Monopoly Megaways, Spribe's Aviator, PG Soft's Chicky Run, GameArt's Rosh Immortality Cube Megaways, Habanero's Koi Gate, Gamzix's Jack O'Wild and Viva Las Vegas from Red Rake Gaming.

Sports and eSports on the same balance

Our sportsbook covers major sporting events worldwide with odds that update as the markets move, and eSports markets sit alongside them. It runs on the same account and the same balance as the casino, so nothing needs transferring when you switch from a slot to a match.

Sports bets and casino rounds behave differently for bonus purposes, so if you have an active casino bonus, check the offer terms before you place a sports bet with that balance.

Fair play, certified returns and keeping play in check

Every applicable game runs on a certified random number generator, which means each spin, deal and roll is independent of the one before it. The RTP figures published on our games are independently tested and certified by eCOGRA, and Mister X Casino is a member of eCOGRA.

We are licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission. Every connection to the site is SSL-encrypted, your identity is verified before your first cashout, and deposit limits plus self-exclusion tools are available to every registered player. You must be 18 or over to hold an account.

RTP describes long-run averages across enormous numbers of rounds, not what your session will do. Games are entertainment with real risk attached, and the money you put in should be money you can afford to lose. If a session stops being fun, the deposit limit and self-exclusion tools are there to use at any point, and our live chat team is available around the clock.
