Games
Platipus develops its games in HTML5, focusing on play across different devices. The technology supports sharp graphics and fast loading on desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, whether accessed through casino apps or web browsers.
Platipus adds a new game to its catalogue every month. The source also describes the provider as trustworthy, though that 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 come from the source and do not establish authorization in Canada.

Baccarat
Platipus offers three baccarat versions. The source points to the game’s popularity in Asian markets, especially Macau, as a reason these titles could appeal there.
- Mini-Baccarat (6-Decks)

- Baccarat Pro (6-Decks)
Baccarat VIP is designed for high rollers who want to make larger wagers per hand. Mini Baccarat and Baccarat Pro follow traditional rules: ‘Tie’ bets pay 8-1, banker bets incur a 5% commission and pay 0.95-1, and winning ‘Player’ bets pay even odds.
In Baccarat Pro, a ‘Tie’ pays 9-1, while ‘Banker’ and ‘Player’ bets use the payouts described above. The source also lists 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 lists 2 Platipus blackjack tables, both 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 down after splitting.
The review reports 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 and says they are suitable for players who use basic strategy. It links to online blackjack tables.
Roulette
At the time of the review, Platipus listed 2 roulette tables that were not yet ready to launch. The company then expected their release in the winter of 2020.
- European Roulette

European Roulette was presented as a table where players could place a small wager. Its wheel was to feature 1 zero.
American Roulette was described as “a quicker take on European roulette, with a double zero added to the table”.
