Not in the lobby
Craps and sic bo are absent according to every source that checked. Baccarat is disputed — two reviews report it missing from the live lobby while a third lists it among the table games. Anyone who plays those specifically should read the section on missing categories before registering.
What is here in depth: live blackjack at unusual scale, a wide instant and crash section, and a full sportsbook running on the same account.
The catalogue outside slots, by category
| Category | Range reported | Counts toward bonus wagering |
|---|---|---|
| Live dealer tables | 359 – 500+ | No |
| Live blackjack | 250 – 300+ | No |
| Live roulette | Around 86 | No |
| Live game shows | 20 – 21 | No |
| Live poker | 2 – 4 | No |
| Instant and crash titles | 240 – 263 | No |
| RNG table games and video poker | Present, count not published | No |
| Bingo, keno and scratch cards | Present within the instant section | No |
| Baccarat | Disputed | No |
| Craps and sic bo | Not available | — |
One structural point applies across every row: none of these categories contributes toward clearing a casino bonus. Wagering requirements on this platform are satisfied by slot play alone, under the bonus terms. A player intending to clear a welcome offer and a player intending to play live tables are effectively doing two different, non-overlapping things.
What the live dealer lobby actually contains
Blackjack dominates to an unusual degree
Roughly seven in ten live tables here are blackjack. That concentration is well outside the industry norm, where roulette and game shows typically take a much larger share, and it produces a lobby that is excellent for one audience and thin for another.
| Live game type | Tables reported | Principal suppliers |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack | 250 – 300+ | Pragmatic Play Live, Winfinity |
| Roulette | Around 86 | Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech |
| Game shows | 20 – 21 | Playtech, Pragmatic Play Live, Winfinity |
| Poker variants | 2 – 4 | Playtech |
For a blackjack player the depth is a genuine advantage: multiple rule variants, a wide range of table limits and enough capacity that seats remain available at peak hours. For someone who came for baccarat or a large game show selection, the same lobby looks sparse.
Who supplies the streams
Pragmatic Play Live and Playtech carry most of the tables, with Winfinity and Evolution content appearing depending on the section and the region. Table availability differs by territory because live studios are licensed per market, which is one reason published table counts range from 359 to over 500 — reviewers in different locations are looking at different lobbies.
Live chat support at this casino operates in a narrower set of languages than the site interface, and dealer language coverage follows a similar pattern. English-speaking tables are well covered; French-speaking Canadian players will find fewer native options than the six-language site interface might suggest.
Game shows: small but not empty
Around twenty titles sit in the game show section, which is modest against operators carrying several times that number. The selection favours less obvious formats over the genre's biggest names.
Cabaret Roulette — Winfinity
- Themed roulette with a show-style presentation
- Advertised maximum multiplier up to 2,000x
- Distinct from standard live roulette in pacing
Busted or Bailed — Playtech
- Bets settle on the outcome of a getaway sequence
- An unusual format with no direct equivalent elsewhere
- Rules reward reading the format before betting
Advertised multipliers are ceilings, not expectations
A figure such as 2,000x describes the highest possible outcome in the game's paytable, not a typical or likely one. Games advertising the largest maximum multipliers are usually those where the average outcome sits furthest below it. The number is a marketing headline; the paytable distribution is the actual information.
Crash and instant games with real bet limits
The instant section runs to well over 200 titles covering crash, mines, plinko, dice, keno, bingo and scratch formats. Concrete limits per title are rarely published anywhere, so the table below is more useful than a general description.
| Title | Studio | Minimum bet | Maximum multiplier | Mechanic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mines | Hacksaw Gaming | C$0.20 | Grid-dependent | Adjustable grid size and risk |
| Plinko Rush | Betsoft | C$0.10 | 888x | Selectable risk levels |
| Olympus Strike | Zillion Games | C$0.10 | 8,000x | Wheel, boost symbols, free spins |
| Pilot | Gamzix | C$0.10 | 1,000x | Crash format with live results feed |
| Mine Island | Smartsoft Gaming | C$0.05 | 100x | Multipliers with level progression |
| Extra Bingo | VoltEnt | C$0.10 | Card-dependent | Fast play with a gamble option |
Why a large multiplier is not a large return
An 8,000x ceiling and a 100x ceiling can carry near-identical return-to-player rates. The multiplier describes the extreme tail of the outcome distribution, not its centre. What differs is variance, and that has a practical consequence in this category specifically: crash rounds last seconds rather than minutes, so a bankroll is exposed at many times the rate of a slot session of the same length. The combination of very fast rounds and a headline number in the thousands is what makes this category harder to play within a budget than any other on the platform.
RNG table games and video poker
Away from live dealers, the software table section covers roulette, blackjack, casino poker variants and video poker. It is a smaller part of the offering than either slots or the live lobby, and the count is not published.
One detail here affects outcomes more than any betting approach. Roulette exists in variants whose house edge differs by roughly a factor of two, decided entirely by how many zeroes the wheel carries.
| Variant | Zeroes | House edge on even-money bets |
|---|---|---|
| French roulette with la partage | One | Approximately 1.35% |
| European roulette | One | Approximately 2.7% |
| American roulette | Two | Approximately 5.26% |
Choosing a single-zero table over a double-zero one halves the built-in edge across every spin. No staking pattern, progression or system produces a comparable effect, and none alters the edge at all — the table selection is the only lever available, and it is available before the first bet.
The categories that are missing, and the ones sources argue about
| Game | Available? | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Craps | No | Reported absent by every review that looked for it |
| Sic bo | No | Reported absent, including against competitors that carry it |
| Baccarat | Disputed | Two reviews report it missing from the live lobby; a third lists it among table games |
| Live baccarat | Disputed | Explicitly reported as not found by a reviewer who searched for it |
The baccarat disagreement has a plausible technical explanation. The live lobby and the software table section are separate areas of the site with separate catalogues. A title can be present in the RNG section while absent from live tables, and a reviewer checking only one of them will reach the opposite conclusion from a reviewer checking the other. Both accounts can be accurate about the section each examined.
For anyone whose play centres on craps or sic bo, this is straightforwardly the wrong platform, and there is no version of the catalogue in which it is not. That is a more useful conclusion than a hedge, and operators with strong dice coverage are easy to identify elsewhere.
Sportsbook, virtual sports and esports
A full sportsbook runs on the same account and balance, covering the leagues Canadian bettors follow — NHL, NBA, MLS and the major European football competitions — alongside live betting and streaming on selected fixtures. Virtual sports and esports markets sit in adjacent sections, funded through the same cashier.
| Aspect | Casino bonus | Sports bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Headline offer | 225% up to C$900 + free spins | Separate welcome offer, smaller in cash terms |
| Wagering | 40x on bonus cash | Substantially lower, reported around 10x |
| Qualifying play | Slots only | Sports bets |
| Can both be held at once | No — they are separate offers on separate deposits | |
The wagering gap is the substantive point. A sports welcome offer at roughly 10x is a genuinely different proposition from a casino offer at 40x, even where the headline cash amount is smaller. For anyone who bets on sport as well as playing casino games, the sports route is the cheaper of the two bonuses to clear by a wide margin — and that comparison is not one most coverage of this brand makes.
A note on pace
Crash and instant games resolve in seconds, and live tables run continuously without the natural breaks a slot session has. Both make elapsed time and money spent harder to track than they appear. Reality-check reminders at 15 to 60 minute intervals, session limits and loss limits are set in the account area and take effect immediately.

Game categories: questions answered
How many live dealer tables does Monro Casino have?
Published counts range from 359 to over 500, with the variation driven largely by regional licensing — live studios restrict tables by market, so the lobby differs by location. Blackjack accounts for roughly 70% of it, with about 86 roulette tables and around 20 game shows.
Does Monro Casino have baccarat?
Sources disagree. Two reviews report baccarat missing from the live lobby; a third lists it among table games. The likely explanation is that the live and software sections carry separate catalogues. Craps and sic bo are absent according to every source.
Can Aviator and other crash games be played at Monro?
Yes. The instant section carries over 200 titles including crash formats, mines, plinko, dice and bingo, with minimum bets from C$0.05 and advertised maximum multipliers up to 8,000x on some titles.
Do live games count toward bonus wagering?
No. Only slots contribute toward clearing a casino bonus. Live dealer tables, game shows, RNG table games, video poker and instant titles all contribute nothing, so play in those categories makes no progress against a requirement.
Does Monro Casino have sports betting?
Yes, on the same account, covering major North American and European leagues with live betting and streaming on selected fixtures. The sports welcome offer carries substantially lower wagering than the casino bonus — around 10x against 40x.
Gambling involves financial risk and the house holds a mathematical edge on every game. The operator's licence and safety record are covered in the full Monro Casino review.

About the author
Daniel Beauchamp — Senior iGaming Editor, Montréal, Quebec
Daniel Beauchamp edits casino and payments coverage for the Canadian market from Montréal. He works primarily from operator terms and conditions, licensing registers and provincial regulator publications, and his editorial rule is simple: a figure that cannot be traced to a source is a figure that does not appear on the page.
Much of his work concerns the gap between what an operator advertises and what its published terms actually commit it to. Wagering requirements expressed as turnover rather than multiples, withdrawal timings separated into approval, processing and settlement, and clauses buried in terms of service that surface only in complaint threads are recurring subjects across the pages he edits.
He follows the divergence between Curaçao licensing and Canada's provincial frameworks closely, and treats the question of which provinces an operator may lawfully serve as a matter of fact-checking rather than fine print. Where sources disagree, the pages he edits state the range and explain the disagreement instead of picking the more convenient number.
