What's in the Smokos game lobby (New Zealand)?

Straight to the games

Smokos isn't shy about the size of its lobby. You're looking at around 7,000+ titles pulled from 34-odd studios, so the problem isn't finding something to play - it's picking. This page is all about the games themselves: what's there, who makes it, and how to have a look before you drop a cent.

Pokies do the heavy lifting

Let's not muck about - pokies are the main event here, and that's where most of that 7,000+ count lives. You've got the full spread: classic three-reel stuff for the purists, big-money Megaways builds, cluster-pays, hold-and-win, the lot. The Pragmatic Play hits everyone knows are in - Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush and The Dog House - alongside Hacksaw bangers like Le Bandit and proper high-volatility gear like Mental from Nolimit City.

If you like a slow grind with lots of little wins, there's plenty of low-vol stuff to keep you ticking over. If you're chasing a big hit and don't mind a dry spell, the high-volatility pokies will happily take you on a ride. Either way, the range means you're not stuck spinning the same five games till your eyes glaze over.

The live dealer floor

There's a proper live-casino section too, streamed with real dealers on real tables. Expect the staples - blackjack, roulette, baccarat and the flashy game-show style tables that have taken over the last few years. It's the closest you'll get to a real pit without leaving the couch, and it runs off studios that specialise in exactly this, so the streams don't stutter and drop out.

For the Kiwis, the live floor loads in NZD and works the same as anywhere else. A handful of games are region-locked depending on the studio, but the core live tables are all present and accounted for.

Table games and jackpots

Away from the live streams there's a solid bank of RNG table games - blackjack, roulette, poker variants and the rest - for when you want to play at your own pace without a dealer waiting on you. Jackpot hunters are catered for as well, with progressive pokies where the top prize climbs until someone lands it. Progressive jackpots at Smokos are paid out in full, which is the way it should be.

Crash and instant wins

If your attention span is shot and you want a result in seconds, the crash and instant-win corner is where you'll end up. Quick multiplier games, scratchies and the like - low commitment, fast turnaround, easy to dip in and out of between the bigger sessions.

The studios behind it all

Here's where the games actually come from. These are the names doing the work:

...and more beyond that. Big, licensed studios - which is exactly why the pokies you already recognise turn up in the lobby.

What about RTP numbers?

Straight up: we're not going to quote you RTP percentages we can't stand behind, because a number that's wrong is worse than no number at all. RTP can vary by title and sometimes by version anyway. The honest move is to check the info panel inside each game once you're in - the real figure is listed right there - and then use demo mode to get a feel for how it actually plays.

Have a squiz for free first

The best bit for a sticky-beak: most games at Smokos have a free demo mode you can load Available without an account for most games. No deposit, no sign-up, no strings - just spin with fake credits to see if a pokie's your cup of tea before you back it with real cash. Smart way to sort the keepers from the duds.
