Games at Dominion Black Casino: How the Lobby Works

The game library in numbers

Three figures describe the Dominion Black catalogue: 1,498 games, 36 studios and 48 themed categories. Each game also has a type, and five of those types match the quick filters at the top of the lobby. Jackpot games have no quick filter, but a category with the same count does the job.

The type counts overlap, because one game can carry more than one type. Read each figure on its own: they are not slices of the 1,498 total and do not add up to it.

Game types

At Dominion Black, slots are by far the largest group, with 1,406 titles, and our slots guide looks at their studios, themes and jackpot games. The jackpot type covers 108 games, and the NEW filter collects the 130 games currently marked as new.

If you prefer table play, the Table filter gathers 36 table games, and the Live filter lists 76 live casino games. The Arcades filter holds a smaller group of 27 arcade titles.

Game type also changes how a bet counts toward a bonus, cashback and the loyalty program, which matters as soon as you mix slots with other games. A table further down this page sets the rules out type by type.

Game types versus categories

The quick filters and the Categories filter sort the same Dominion Black lobby in two ways. A quick filter shows a single game type, while a category gathers games by theme or format and can include more than one type. A few names turn up both as a type and as a category, and their counts often differ:

• Slots: the quick filter shows all 1,406 slot titles, but the category named Slots holds only 24 games.
• New: the NEW filter lists 130 games marked as new, while the newGames category contains 43.
• Buy bonus: 135 games carry this type, and the Buy Bonus category lists 150, so the two lists differ.
• Table: the Table filter gathers 36 games, while BlackJack (28) and Table Game (18) are separate categories.
• Jackpots: here the two agree, with 108 games of the jackpot type and 108 in the Jackpots category.

As a rule of thumb, reach for a quick filter when you know the kind of game you want, and for Categories when a theme or format matters more, for example Egyptian (78), Sea (72) or Megaways (17).

Studios

Games at Dominion Black come from 36 studios, and the Providers filter shows any one studio’s games on their own. The figures below count each studio’s games across the whole lobby, not only its slots:

• 140 games or more: NetEnt (157), Pragmatic Play (149), Mascot (140) and NOVOMATIC (140)
• 60 to 100 games: Amatic (97), Microgaming (95), EGT (75), Playson (62) and Wazdan (61)
• 25 to 45 games: Relax Gaming (45), Quickspin (43), Merkur (31), 3 Oaks (28), Aristocrat (28) and BNG (25)
• Fewer than 25 games: Play’n GO (21), Kajot (19), Push Gaming (18), Konami (17), Apollo (15), Red Rake (15), Nolimit City (14), Winspinity (13), IGT (12), BGaming (11), Blueprint (11), The Hood (11), Playtech (10), 1spin4win (9), Betsoft (9), Spribe (7), Spinomenal (2), InOut (2), Evoplay (1), MGA (1) and PG SOFT (1)

Names appear here as the lobby writes them, for instance NOVOMATIC in capitals, PG SOFT as two words and Mascot as a single word, so they are easy to match in the Providers list.

Finding a game

The Dominion Black catalogue has no separate page on the casino site: it opens in the games section of the casino’s home page. Once you are there, these tools take you from 1,498 titles to the one you want:

• Find your game: the search box, for when you already know the name
• Providers: the games of a single studio
• Categories: 48 themed groups, such as Animals (376 games), Fantasy (292), Fruits (285) and 777’s (253)
• Favourites: your own list of saved games
• Quick filters: one tap on Slots, Live, Arcades, Table or NEW shows a single game type

Game cards carry a Play button and a Demo button, yet the featured slots are not flagged as having a demo version, so plan to play with real money. All the featured slots are marked for both phones and computers, and our guide to the iPhone app and browser play explains how the casino works on a phone.

Building a shortlist with the filters

With this many titles in the Dominion Black lobby, it pays to build a short list once and return to it, rather than browsing from the top on every visit. A simple routine:

1. Start from what you already know: a title goes into Find your game, a studio into Providers, a kind of game into the quick filters and a theme into Categories.
2. Choose the narrowest route. A category such as Megaways (17) or Christmas (18) is a short read, while Free Spins (807) is longer than any single studio’s range.
3. Add the games you want to try to Favourites as you go, so they end up in one place.
4. Next time, open Favourites first instead of the full lobby, and drop any game you no longer play.
5. Before you press Play, check whether a bonus is active on your account; the table below shows which game types count toward it.

Smaller studios are quick to look through in full: 3 Oaks has 28 games, Play’n GO 21, Push Gaming 18 and Nolimit City 14. With the largest catalogues, from NetEnt and Pragmatic Play, typing a name into the search box is usually quicker than scrolling.

Which games count for bonuses and rewards

Game type matters beyond taste. At Dominion Black, it decides whether a bet moves your bonus wagering, adds to your cashback and earns Comp Points in the loyalty program, and only slots do all three:

So while a welcome bonus is running, keep to slots until it is wagered and leave live games for later. Shop Points follow the same pattern, as they come from slot bets alone, and tournaments score points on slot play too.

The welcome bonus guide and our bonus terms page explain wagering in detail, and cashback and the loyalty program each have a guide of their own.

Featured slots

Twenty slots are featured on the Dominion Black lobby’s home page, which makes them the quickest to reach. Pragmatic Play supplies twelve of them, including Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza. Four come from Playson, such as Energy Coins, three from Microgaming, such as 9 Masks of Fire, and one from 3 Oaks: Black Wolf.

Among the featured games, only the two Mega Moolah titles, Mega Moolah itself and Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah, are flagged as jackpot games, and both come from Microgaming. Big Bass Bonanza, also featured, hosts the free spins that come with the first welcome bonus.

This site also has guides to four slots that are not featured: Buffalo King Megaways from Pragmatic Play, and Magic Clovers, 3 Clover Pots Extra and 3 Super Hot Chillies from 3 Oaks. All 24 games covered here are listed below, each with its studio and that studio’s game count.
