Games
Platipus develops its games using HTML5, with attention to gameplay across devices. The technology supports clear graphics and fast loading on desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices through casino apps or web browsers.
Platipus adds a new game to its catalogue each month. The provider is also described as trustworthy, although this assessment is not a current verification.
Platipus games are tested by iTechlabs, an independent testing organization with ISO/IEC 17025 certification. The review says this supports the fairness and accuracy of the games’ Random Number Generator (RNG) software. It lists certification in the UK, Italy, AGCC, Denmark, IOM, Malta, Gibraltar, Sweden and Romania; these jurisdictional claims reflect the source and do not establish Canadian authorization.

Baccarat
Platipus offers three baccarat versions. The source notes the game’s popularity in Asian markets, especially Macau, as a reason these titles may appeal to players there.
- Mini-Baccarat (6 decks)
- Baccarat VIP (6 decks)
- Baccarat Pro (6 decks)
Baccarat VIP is intended for high rollers seeking to wager larger amounts on each hand. Mini Baccarat and Baccarat Pro use traditional rules: ‘Tie’ bets pay 8-1, banker bets carry a 5% commission and pay 0.95-1, and winning ‘Player’ bets pay even money.
In Baccarat Pro, a ‘Tie’ pays 9-1; ‘Banker’ and ‘Player’ bets use the payouts described above. The source also lists these side bets: Perfect Pair (25-1), Either Pair (5-1), Banker Pair (11-1), Play Pair (11-1), Big (0.54-1) and Small (1.5-1).
Reported Return to Player (RTP) for all 3 tables:
- Banker Bet: 98.94% RTP
- Player Bet: 98.76% RTP
- Tie Bet: 85.56% RTP
Blackjack
The source describes 2 Platipus blackjack tables, each with the same stated RTP of 99.58%.
- Blackjack - Atlantic City
- Blackjack VIP (for high rollers)
Both versions use 6 decks. The dealer stands on hard 17, and players can split pairs and aces, double down on any value and double after splitting.
The review gives the same payouts for both tables:
- 1-1 for a win
- 3-2 for blackjack
- 2-1 for insurance bets
The source describes these games as offering flexible rules suitable for players using basic strategy. It also links to online blackjack tables.
Roulette
When the review was written, Platipus listed 2 roulette tables that were not yet ready for release. The company then expected them to launch in winter 2020.
- European Roulette
- American Roulette
European Roulette was presented as a table where players could place a small wager. The wheel was to have 1 zero.
American Roulette was described as “a quicker take on European roulette, with a double zero added to the table”.
