JustCasino Games: Table Games, Video Poker and Instant Win
Pokies and live dealers get most of the attention, but JustCasino's lobby also includes digital table games, video poker and a large section of fast instant win games. This guide explains how each type works, how they compare on house edge, and how the casino's bonus rules treat them.
It is written to help you understand what you are choosing between, not to encourage you to play.
The odds vary a lotHouse edge ranges from under 1% to well over 10% depending on the game.

What this guide covers
This page covers the parts of JustCasino's lobby that are not pokies or live dealer games. Those two have their own dedicated guides, and the most popular table games have detailed pages of their own.
Game categories at JustCasino
Outside pokies and live dealers, the rest of the lobby falls into three broad groups. Digital table games are computer versions of casino classics like roulette, blackjack and baccarat. Video poker combines a poker hand with a fixed paytable. Instant win games cover fast formats such as crash games, plinko, keno and scratch cards.
The exact titles in each category change over time, so the lobby itself is the best place to see what is currently available. Use the category and provider filters to narrow things down, and open a game's help or rules panel to check its RTP before you play.
Every digital game on this page uses a random number generator, software that produces an unpredictable result for each round. As with pokies, past results have no effect on future ones.
Digital table games
Digital table games run the same rules as their live equivalents, but a random number generator replaces the dealer. Rounds are much faster, there is no betting window to wait for, and table minimums are often lower. The house edge for the same rules is the same whether the game is live or digital. What changes is how quickly the edge works through your money.
Roulette
European: about 2.7% edgeSingle-zero European roulette has a house edge of about 2.7%. Double-zero American roulette is nearly twice as costly at about 5.26%. Digital roulette can spin every few seconds, so the same bet costs more per hour than at a live table.
See our roulette guide.
Blackjack
Around 0.5% with good playBlackjack can have the lowest edge in the casino, but only if you follow basic strategy and the rules are favourable. A table that pays 6 to 5 on blackjack instead of 3 to 2 is noticeably worse value.
See our blackjack guide.
Baccarat
Banker: about 1.06% edgeBaccarat needs no decisions beyond choosing a bet. Banker carries an edge of about 1.06% after commission and Player about 1.24%. The Tie bet pays well but carries an edge of over 14%.
Video poker
Video poker deals you a five-card hand. You choose which cards to hold, the rest are replaced, and the final hand pays according to a fixed paytable. Unlike pokies, your decisions affect the result, and with the right paytable and correct play, video poker can offer some of the best odds in the casino.
The paytable is everything
Two games with the same name can have very different returns depending on their paytable. The classic example is Jacks or Better. A "9/6" version, paying 9 for a full house and 6 for a flush, returns about 99.5% with optimal play. An "8/5" version returns about 97.3%. The difference is invisible unless you read the paytable before playing.
Optimal play matters
Those return figures assume you always make the mathematically correct hold. Most players make some mistakes, which lowers the real return. Strategy charts for each game variant are widely available, and many video poker games show the paytable on the main screen.
Instant win games
Instant win games are the fastest games in the lobby. Rounds often take a few seconds, which is exactly why they need the most care with your budget.
Crash games
Very fast roundsA multiplier starts at 1x and climbs until it "crashes" at a random point. You must cash out before the crash to win your bet multiplied by the current figure. Cash out too late and the bet is lost. Many crash games let you set an automatic cash out point.
Plinko
Risk level changes volatilityA ball drops through rows of pegs and lands in a slot with a payout multiplier. Most versions let you choose a risk level and the number of rows. Higher risk means bigger possible multipliers at the edges but more frequent small or losing results.
Keno
Often a higher house edgeYou pick numbers, then a set of numbers is drawn, and you are paid according to how many match. Keno is simple but typically carries a higher house edge than table games. Check the RTP in the game's help panel.
Scratch cards
RTP varies by gameDigital scratch cards reveal symbols with a click or swipe, paying out if you match a winning combination. They are quick and simple, and like all instant games, returns vary widely between titles.
Dice and other originals
Often adjustable oddsDice and similar games let you choose your own target, trading a lower chance of winning for a higher payout. The house edge stays the same whatever target you choose.
What "provably fair" means
Some instant win and crypto-style games describe themselves as provably fair. This means the game publishes a cryptographic record of each round's result before it is played, which you can check afterwards to confirm the result was not changed.
Provably fair proves that a particular round was not altered. It does not mean the game has better odds. A provably fair game still has a house edge, which you can find in its rules panel.
Comparing the games
The table below compares the main game types on this page. House edge figures are typical for standard rules. Always check the specific game's rules or help panel, because variations change the numbers.

These games and bonuses
JustCasino's bonuses are designed for pokies. Under the casino's default bonus terms, most games on this page count for little or nothing towards wagering. Individual promotions can set different conditions, so always read the terms of the specific offer. Current offers are on our promotions page.
Table games count partly
Roulette counts at 25% and card games at 10%. A bonus cleared on blackjack needs ten times the play it would on pokies.
Instant games do not count
Under the default terms, games outside slots, roulette and card games contribute nothing towards wagering.
Maximum bet
No single bet can exceed A$8 while a bonus is active, whatever game you play.
Some games cannot be played with a bonus at all, and JustCasino lists them in its bonus terms. For most players who prefer these games, playing without a bonus is simpler. Our wagering requirements guide shows what the numbers mean in dollars, and how casino bonuses work covers the different bonus types.
Fast games and your budget
The speed of a game matters as much as its house edge. A crash game or scratch card can settle a round in seconds, so a small bet repeated quickly can add up to a large amount wagered in a short time. Before you start, decide how much you are prepared to spend and set a time limit, and consider using the deposit limit tools in your account settings.
If fast games stop feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available around the clock through Gambling Help Online or by calling 1800 858 858. Our responsible gambling page lists more support options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Beyond pokies, JustCasino offers live dealer games, digital table games such as roulette, blackjack and baccarat, video poker, and instant win games including crash games, plinko, keno and scratch cards. The lobby's category filters show what is currently available.
In a crash game, a multiplier rises from 1x until it crashes at a random point. You win your bet multiplied by the current figure if you cash out before the crash, and lose the bet if you do not. Rounds are very fast, so it is important to set a budget before playing.
Blackjack and video poker can have a house edge around 0.5%, but only with correct decisions and favourable rules or paytables. Baccarat's Banker bet, at about 1.06%, is the lowest among games that need no decisions. Every casino game still has a house edge.
Under JustCasino's default bonus terms, only slots, roulette and card games contribute towards wagering. Other games, including most instant win games, contribute 0%. Individual promotions can set different rules, so check the terms of the specific offer.
A provably fair game publishes a cryptographic record of each round's result before it is played, so you can check afterwards that the result was not changed. It proves a round was not altered, but it does not mean better odds. The game still has a house edge.
The paytable decides the game's return. For example, 9/6 Jacks or Better returns about 99.5% with optimal play, while 8/5 Jacks or Better returns about 97.3%. Games with the same name can have different paytables, so check before you play.
