After an exhaustive search, lots of bets paced, too many games played to count, and more money lost than we care to share, MetroPlay gives you our top five online casinos with the best mix of games. The casinos in this category earn their place in the top five not only because they offer all the favs you expect from a major casino — blackjack, roulette, slots — but also because they have lots of different variations for players to test out and choose which they like best.
MetroPlay’s Top 5 Online Casinos for Best Game Mix
1. SugarHouse
Any site that has world-class gaming and an integrated sportsbook is going to be high on our list. SugarHouse offers five live dealer games including blackjack, two types of roulette, baccarat, and two types of poker: Hold’Em and Three Card Poker. They offer six types of roulette, Let It Ride, Three Card Poker, and have the most video poker offerings at any online casino. They also offer video bingo and keno, but what separates SugarHouse is its blackjack selection. They have what we found to be the most exciting blackjack variation at any site: their exclusive multi-bet with side bets. The player can customize the table limit and his bets for each hand and each side bet. The potential payouts mean even if you lose your hand to the dealer, you can still win big money for any combination of your two hole cards.

The Nugget offers one of the best mixes of games at any online casino. They offer live dealer games for blackjack, roulette, baccarat and Hold’Em. Blackjack your game? They have eight types with table minimums as low as $1. They also offer six types of roulette, Let It Ride, Three Card Poker, and 11 types of video poker. Want slots? They have more than 500, including five progressive jackpots. They may not offer some of the more unique games found at other sites but their overall offerings are the best.
We’re grouping these two casinos together since they both operate under the Trop’s gaming license, use the same gaming software, and offer all the same games. Neither casino offers live dealer games, but we don’t mind since they offer so many games not seen at any other online casinos. They have the standards including six types of blackjack and three types of roulette, Let It Ride, Three Card Poker and Baccarat. But what sets Tropicana and Virgin apart from the crowded field is that they are two of only six casinos that offer craps, one of the most popular casino games. They also offer two unique games: Hi-Lo, a simple but addicting card game where the player bets if the next card dealt will be higher or lower than the next, and Pai Gow Poker, a casino classic but played with cards instead of dominoes. Both the player and the dealer are dealt seven cards and then create their best five-card and two-card hands. Both the Trop and Virgin also offer bingo for cash prizes.
5. Betfair
Betfair offers all the games you should expect from a top-end online casino: live dealer games for blackjack, roulette, baccarat and Hold’em and eight types of roulette including the exciting 3-Wheel game that gives players three times to chance to hit their number. They also offer four types of blackjack, Let It Ride and Three Card Poker. One game unique and exclusive to this casino is Hi-Lo Solitaire. It’s an addicting card game where players bet if the next card will be higher or lower or of what suit. You can play infinitely.
