The categories Captain Cooks carries, how they differ in practice and what turned up when we looked at the lobby.
Captain Cooks lists table and card games, live dealer games and jackpot games. The operator puts the whole catalogue at around 650 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 650 games, all types |
| Categories listed | Table and card games, Live dealer games, Jackpot games |
| What we saw ourselves | 4 titles recorded in our snapshot (a sample, not the full lobby) |
| Mobile | Yes, app available |
Figures marked as listed come from Captain Cooks; the snapshot line is what our own check of the lobby returned.
What separates one category from another is the shape of a round rather than the artwork:
Table and card games — Outcomes still come from a random generator, but the player chooses when to hit, stand, split or raise, so the sequence of decisions is theirs. Live dealer games — Streamed from a studio with a real dealer and real cards. You bet inside a window that opens and closes on their schedule, not yours. Jackpot games — Ordinary games with an extra prize bolted on, fed by every stake placed on that title anywhere. The headline figure is real and the odds against it are long.
A catalogue number like 650 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.
Against that, our pass returned 4, which is too few to say anything about the total one way or the other. Numbers like this are marketing figures until someone checks them, and the honest position is to say which part we saw.
Side by side, the difference is pace and how often you act:
| Category | Pace of a round | What the player decides |
|---|---|---|
| Table and card games | medium | the player acts on every hand |
| Live dealer games | slow, set by the studio | limited to betting windows |
| 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 650. Lobbies also change: games come and go, and what is visible can depend on where you are and whether you are signed in.
Practice mode is underrated. Not for learning to win — it cannot teach that — but for learning what a game is actually like to sit through. Rhythm, dead stretches, how the screen behaves when something finally lands: none of that is in a description, and all of it decides whether you enjoy the thing.
Availability is patchy. Live tables never offer it, and some jurisdictions require a registered account before any game will open at all.
Small checks that save a wasted session:
Canadian availability is decided provincially, not nationally.
they rarely count equally — see bonus terms for how that works here.
these sit on the game itself and vary widely between formats.
Some practical ways through a catalogue of this size:
the fastest route if you already know what you want; spelling matters more than you would think, and punctuation in titles varies.
shows what the operator has added recently, which says something about how actively the catalogue is maintained.
useful once you know whose games you get on with — houses have recognisable maths, not just recognisable art.
Stake size gets the attention; rounds per hour does the damage. Two games at the same stake can differ fivefold in how fast they cycle, and the faster one will empty a balance in a fraction of the time while feeling identical minute to minute.
This is a good reason to notice which formats you gravitate toward, and a good reason to fix a limit before starting rather than during. The responsible gambling page covers the tools for that.
What appears in front of you is filtered before you see it. Provincial rules come first, studio licensing second, the operator's own commercial arrangements third. A friend in another province can open the same page and find games you do not have, and lose ones you do.
Which is the honest caveat on everything above: we checked from one location at one moment, and neither of those is yours.
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.
Usually yes — operators count live tables alongside everything else. It is one reason a headline number can look larger than the slot selection alone.
Not necessarily. Canada regulates this province by province, and studios add their own territorial limits, so two accounts can see two catalogues.
