Sugarhouse Casino has done a great job aggregating a broad range of games that appeal to all types of players. Not only is the game library one of the largest in New Jersey, but it’s supported by an intuitive navigation design enabling players to reach those games with ease. Their game library pools from 18 of the biggest names in casino game development including IGT, Bally, WMS, Konami and High5 and others. This is in addition to their own proprietary table games.
The lobby functionality is one of the best in the industry featuring filters and sorting mechanism as well as a minimum bets and mobile availability for each title – all within one view. With the swoop of a mouse, additional information for each game is provided, giving players enough information to get a sense of what the game has to offer.
With a total over 560 total games to choose from, Sugarhouse’s navigational tools are very helpful in filtering and sorting through the huge collection. You can either filter by Game Type (Slots, Table Games or My Recent, New Games etc.) and/or by Game Studio (IGT, Bally High5). With over 500 slots alone, a secondary sort functionality is also helpful with view by (1)pay lines, (2) top historical win multiplier or (3) minimum bet to cover all lines of a slot machine. If you know slot name or game you want, there is also a simple search bar. Players can Favorite any game for quick access on their next return.
Over 500 Slots
Sugarhouse’s Slot library is one of its standout features. With a choice of over 500 titles, the Sugarhouse slot library includes a great mix of both the latest video slots and traditional classic titles, local Atlantic City favorites and many titles never seen on any casino floor.
Some of the most popular video slot titles available at Sugarhouse Online Casino include Lock it Link, White Orchid, Siberian Storm and Thundering Buffalo. Old school favorites include Wheel of Fortune, Triple Blazing 7’s and Davinci Diamonds.
Sorting by pay table lines shows the massive range of slot title range available. While most titles offer the popular 25-50 pay lines, there is still something here for all player preferences with plenty of 1, 5, 10 and 20 line slots. For those who like a bit more excitement, the pay line range shoots all the way to 4,096 with WMS’ Ranging Rhino and Everi’s Great Tiger.
And the action doesn’t stop there with almost every game offering tons of exciting bonus rounds and free spins. It will be hard to find another casino with such a great variety.
Make that budget last simply sorting the Game Filter by ‘Min to Cover Bets’ and you will see that almost all games are less than 50¢ to cover all lines with only a few games above $1.00. Oddly, IGT’s Wishwood is a minimum whopping $20 minimum to cover all 20 lines.
If there is any criticism of Sugarhouse Casino slot offering, it would be the surprising lack of progressive slots of which there is currently only one, Divine Fortune.
Six Blackjack Variants
With six different variants to choose from, Sugarhouse Blackjack has pretty much got it covered. There is currently three different single-hand Atlantic City variants of blackjack including IGT’s Player’s Suite Blackjack which offers a clean single hand version at $200 limit per hand, NextGen (NYX) Atlantic City Blackjack Pro at $100 limit per hand and Rush Street’s exclusive Single Hand Blackjack offering 4 different min/max bet limits of $1,000 per hand.
Those who like a little more action should try the multi-hand version of the popular game, Sugarhouse offers two versions, one from Rush Street and exclusive to Sugarhouse, and the other from European game developer NetEnt. While the NetEnt version is solid, the Rush Street variant offers three exciting side bets (21+3, Lucky Luck and Luck Ladies) as well as much higher limits of $1,000 per hand versus NetEnt’s $500 per hand.
While all titles follow the popular Atlantic City format, there are several important differences with each variant that sizably changes the player edge.
- Blackjack Payout: Rush Street’s Single Deck (hand) only pays out 6-5 on Blackjack while others payout the standard 3-2.
- Decks: IGT, NetEnt and Rush Street’s Multi Hand uses standard 6 decks, Rush Street’s Single Deck (hand) uses 1 and NextGen unfortunately uses 8.
- Surrender (returns half money before 1st play): Both Rush Street games and NextGen offer early surrender, while IGT and NetEnt does not.
The impact to player edge? NextGen offers the highest theoretical return to players at 99.69%, while Rush Street’s Single Deck is the worst with 98.74% theoretical. This is due to the poor 6-5 payout on blackjack.
Blackjack Xchange is a Slingo variant and somewhat not comparable. This single hand blackjack variant allows players to switch or exchange any card by buying or selling one of the two cards in their hand. The game claims to have a 99.68% return to player making the second highest in New Jersey.
Theoretical Return to Player for All Blackjack games
- NextGen (Single-hand): 99.69%
- Slingo (Single-hand): 99.68%
- Rush Street (Multi-hand): 99.64%
- NetEnt (Multi-hand): 99.59%
- IGT (Single Hand): 99.54%
- Rush Street (Single-hand): 98.75%
Roulette Games – With special Variants
Six different Roulette games plus two Live Roulette tables are available offering players an interesting mix of traditional and specialty variants. The six non-live Roulette games are split between four European (one zero) and two American Roulette tables (zero-double zero). IGT offers three of the games with standard European version, Double Spin American (touted as the world’s most popular specialty Roulette game) and popular 3-Wheel European roulette game (with a 1200x payout for hitting 3 zeros).
Ready to play like a Roulette Master? Then try the other three specialty variants on offer including NYX’s Roulette Master, NetEnt’s European Roulette Advance or NetEnt’s American specialty Roulette. Each game offers players a wide range of popular specialty bets often used by many of the Roulette Masters who play the game with a player’s edge. Les Orphelins, Les Voisins due Zero, Serie 0/2/3 are just a few of the specialty bets offered on each of these games and players have option to play with an easy to use running track. Play like a Master with these entertaining versions of the game you thought you knew.
While not worthy of a criticism, given Sugarhouse’s focus on investing in so many games, we do wonder if they will add a variant of French Roulette any time soon.
Video Poker – Plenty of Options
If you love Video Poker, it doesn’t get any better than Sugarhouse Casino! This casino is home to the real Video Poker lover. At first glance, the lobby displays what looks like 14 variants of the popular video card game which in theory would be a lot, but after further investigation, the number is a staggering 30 variants of video poker.
IGT dominates the Video Poker market with their popular titles always found on any casino floor and not surprisingly, they are all here at Sugarhouse. This includes the four most popular King Game titles (licensed by IGT) including Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker and Jacks or Better.
The Video Poker lobby also features two multi-hand variants of the IGT licensed games, Triple Play and Five Play Draw Poker. Both multi-hand titles each reveal 9 variants of the popular Draw Poker game including Jacks or Better, Double Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild etc., totaling 18 multi-hand Draw Poker games.
The casino hosts an additional 8 variants of Spin Games’ Video Poker. While not as recognizable as the IGT versions, it is one of the better ‘inspired’ copies of the game on the market.
If you like to test your skills at video poker, this is your new home.
