Beyond slots: what else sits in the Yabby catalogue and how those formats play.
Yabby lists table and card games, video poker and specialty games. The operator puts the whole catalogue at around 350 games, counting every category together. This page looks across the lobby as a whole — what each category is, how the formats differ and which of them we could actually confirm. Slot machines get their own page: see slots for reels, features and the numbers behind them.
| Catalogue size (as listed) | about 350 games, all types |
| Categories listed | Table and card games, Video poker, Specialty games |
| What we saw ourselves | 34 titles recorded in our snapshot (a sample, not the full lobby) |
| Mobile | Yes |
Figures marked as listed come from Yabby; 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 |
| Video poker | player-controlled | which cards to hold |
| Specialty games | fast | few |
Descriptive, not measured: these are properties of the formats themselves, the same at any operator that carries them.
These are titles our check actually returned from the Yabby lobby, not a ranking and not the full list:
Some of them name their own category outright — video poker (Aces and Eights and All American Poker) and table and card games (Andar Bahar and Blackjack + Perfect Pairs) — which is the simplest confirmation that those sections are stocked rather than just listed.
Recorded 34 titles against a listed catalogue of about 350. 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:
Table and card games — Rules are fixed and public, and within them the choices are yours. A hand played well and a hand played badly do not have the same expected outcome. Video poker — A five-card draw against a paytable rather than a dealer. The hand ranking is fixed and published, so the correct play for a given hand is a known quantity rather than a guess. Specialty games — Dice, wheels, hybrids and oddities. Two casinos with identical slot catalogues can have completely different specialty shelves.
Read 350 as the widest possible count. Every category goes into it, and what any individual account can actually open is a smaller number decided by province, licence and the operator's own arrangements.
Set against our own pass, our pass returned 34, 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.
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.
Nothing needs installing — the catalogue runs in a mobile browser, and a game that works on a desktop works on a phone. What degrades is everything around the game: menus collapse, filters hide, and finding a specific title by scrolling stops being realistic somewhere around the second thousand.
Live tables deserve their own warning. Video, chat and a betting layout on a phone screen is a lot at once, and a weak signal costs you hands rather than pixels.
Who makes a game tells you more than what it is called. Development houses have recognisable habits — pacing, how often something happens, how brutal the quiet stretches are — and those habits carry across their entire catalogue. Finding one studio you like is worth more than finding ten games you liked.
The length of the list mostly reflects plumbing. Long lists mean aggregators, which is why unrelated casinos so often carry near-identical shelves.
Table games are the part of the lobby where what you do changes the result. Not the odds of the shuffle — those belong to the generator — but the outcome of a hand, which depends on whether you played it well. Blackjack has a correct move for every combination, published and memorisable.
This cuts both ways. Games with decisions feel more controllable, and that feeling outlasts the actual control: the house edge is still there, it just sits behind a layer of skill. Playing well narrows it. Nothing removes it.
Many titles run in a practice mode with fake credits, which is the cheapest way to learn whether a game's pace suits you. It shows the things a description cannot: how long a round takes, how often anything happens, how the interface behaves.
Two limits worth knowing. Demo mode is not offered on live tables, because a real dealer and a real table cannot be simulated for free. And some regions require an account before any game loads, practice mode included.
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.
Some practical ways through a catalogue of this size:
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Search by name | the fastest route if you already know what you want; spelling matters more than you would think, and punctuation in titles varies. |
| Filter by studio | useful once you know whose games you get on with — houses have recognisable maths, not just recognisable art. |
| Demo mode where offered | lets you see the pace of a game before money is involved; not every title or region allows it. |
A catalogue listing is not the same as a catalogue you can open. Game availability in Canada is settled province by province: licensing, the operator's own agreements and studio-level restrictions all trim what appears for a given account. Two people in different provinces can open the same lobby and see different shelves.
This is also why our snapshot is a snapshot. It reflects one check from one place at one time, and it is not a guarantee that a title we listed will be there for you.
That is the figure the operator lists, and it counts every category together — slots, tables, live rooms and specialty titles. Our own check recorded 34 titles, so treat the headline number as the operator's claim rather than something we counted.
No — the lobby is filtered before it reaches you, first by provincial rules and then by whatever restrictions each studio carries.
No. It is what one pass through the lobby recorded, shown as examples rather than as an inventory. Lobbies are edited constantly.
On their own page. Reel formats, features, RTP and volatility are all handled in the slots section rather than repeated here.
