Slots

The slots collection can be divided into two departments – regular slots and i-Slots. Under “regular slots” we can list all the 5-reel video slots, progressives and classic 3-reel slots, whereas the i-Slots series provides an interactive element that standard machines lack.

i-Slots represent a selection of story-based slots which combine narrative threads with familiar slot activities such as spinning the reels. In other words, they allow you to follow a storyline as you make bets.

If you care to try out some of these “new-age” games, Cirque du Slots, Panda Party and Rock On are good titles to start with. As the Reel Turns 1, 2 and 3, Hole In Won and multiple Cosmic Quest and Reel Heist titles are also excellent representatives of the interactive slot concept.

If, on the other hand, you are satisfied with regular slot gameplay, feel free to launch Catsino, Frogged, Golden Gorilla or Coins of Olympus.

Blackjack

Rival’s blackjack design isn’t the most innovative one and there isn’t much to set it apart from other games on the market. Nevertheless, the two games that are on offer – Blackjack and Multi-Hand Blackjack – are enjoyable and generous enough.

The aesthetic is fairly traditional and the games are played with standard Las Vegas rules. The dealer can peek for blackjack and must hit on a soft 17.

The multi-hand variant is almost identical to the standard one, except the player can play up to three hands at a time.

There are also some subtle differences regarding doubling down, while both games are pretty fast.

Roulette

Roulette fans shouldn’t expect too much from Rival, other than the basics. The collection of Rival’s online roulette comes down to Canadian Roulette and European Roulette.

As you probably know already, the main difference between these two games is that Canadian Roulette has the 0 and 00 sections on the wheel, instead of just one 0 on the European wheel.

This setup, of course, affects the house edge and leaves the European version as the more appealing one (the house edge of European Roulette is 2.7% compared to Canadian’s 5.26%).

The games come with handy customization features, including sound, speed and full screen.

Video Poker

By today’s standards, Rival offers solid video poker games with generous payouts. At the time of writing, the software provider has 14 video poker games listed in its repertoire, from Jacks or Better to Aces and Faces.

Technically, there are 7 games followed by their multi-hand counterparts. Players are allowed to play 4, 10 and even 25 hands at the same time, but keep in mind that the Autohold option does not adhere to optimal strategy – it merely holds winning hands.

Graphically, Rival’s video poker games are not exceptionally creative, but they maintain a stylish, classic look, while providing an easy-to-use, polished UI.
