A guide to the slot lobby at bet365

Over 7000 games, 24 studios: how to find the slots that suit you.

Who makes the games

Games come from 24 developers such as Aviatrix, Hacksaw Gaming, SA Gaming and LuckyStreak. In total the catalogue lists more than 7000 titles, and slots make up the largest share. Each studio has its own style, maths and bonus mechanics. One studio may favour steady payouts while another builds games around big features.

At the top of the lobby, you can filter by studio. If one developer suits you, the filter shows its whole range. Type a game name in the search box to jump straight to it. Fresh releases and trending games sit in separate sections.

A similar-looking game can play very differently from one studio to the next. Sampling a handful of developers is time well spent. The complete bet365 review rates the lobby as a whole.

Types of slots

From fruit machines to cinematic video slots, every style is present. Different formats fit different players. Knowing the main families helps you pick a game that matches your budget and patience.

The Megaways mechanic reshapes the reels on every round, so the count of winning combinations keeps moving. Progressive pools linked across many casinos can grow very large. A number of slots offer a feature buy, which is expensive and raises the risk considerably. How pools and triggers work is covered in the guide to jackpot slots.

The two numbers that matter

Return to player describes the theoretical payback over a huge number of spins. One evening of play tells you nothing about it. A higher figure is a small edge in your favour compared with a lower one. Short definitions of these words are collected in our A-to-Z of casino terms.

How volatility feels

Low-volatility games pay often and small; high-volatility games pay rarely and large. Medium volatility sits between the two and suits most budgets. When clearing a bonus, mid-volatility games keep the balance alive longer.

The i-button opens the stats. Before you play a new slot, read it through. The rules section describes every symbol and feature.

Demo mode and favourites

A demo button lets you try most slots for free. A free version to see how the bonus round works. Wins in demo mode predict nothing about real play.

• Open new titles in demo first
• Use the star icon to keep a game in favourites
• Look at the paytable before betting
• Lobby filters save scrolling

The star icon saves a game, and the list follows you across devices. Recently opened slots stay within reach in the lobby. These small tools shrink a huge lobby to a short list.

Playing with a bonus

Slots are usually the main route for wagering a casino bonus. The welcome package, 100% up to KES 76,000 + 50 free spins, includes spins on a selected slot. Excluded titles exist, so read the list first. Contribution rates and the stake limit are explained in our wagering guide.

Bonus-buy features are often restricted during wagering. During wagering, slot stakes are capped as well. A short chat avoids a cancelled bonus.

Choosing a few well-known titles and a constant stake makes wagering predictable. Jumping from game to game hides the real trend of your balance. Check progress at the end of every session. When the bonus money is gone, the rollover ends with it.

Playing within limits

Set a session budget before you start. Slots are fast, and the rounds add up quickly. Use the session reminders available in your profile.

Quit when you hit your limit, or when you are ahead and happy. Play only from 18, and only with money you can spare. Never chase losses by raising the stake. If play stops being fun, the account offers time-outs and self-exclusion. Taking regular breaks is one of the simplest ways to keep a clear head, and talking to a support service is always an option.
