Royal Reels 22 games review: pokies, table games and live dealer floor

The pokies floor is the headline act

Royal Reels 22 is, before anything else, a pokies casino. The slot lobby is the part of the site that most players will spend the most time inside, and it shows. The default view groups games by Popular, New, Bonus Buy, Megaways, Jackpot and Classic, with provider tabs along the side for anyone hunting a specific studio. Pragmatic Play hits — Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, Big Bass Bonanza — are pinned near the top alongside Aussie-style favourites such as Big Cat King, Nine Pots of Gold and 2 Wild 2 Die.

Volatility and RTP are clearly labelled

One of the genuinely useful touches is that pokie tiles show volatility (Low, Medium, High) and RTP percentages on hover. That makes it much easier to pick games that suit a smaller bankroll versus games designed for chasing a single big hit. Most slots run with their full advertised RTP — usually 96% and above — rather than the cut-down versions some Aussie-facing casinos quietly install.

Table games keep things measured

Beyond the slots, Royal Reels 22 carries a respectable table game section: multiple blackjack variants (Classic, Single Deck, Double Exposure), European and American roulette, baccarat, several poker variants and a few specialty titles like Hi-Lo and Andar Bahar. The RNG tables are clean, fast and run smoothly on mobile, even on older phones.

Live dealer covers all the basics and a few extras

The live casino is powered by Evolution and Ezugi, which is the strongest combination available. Tables run 24/7, with VIP blackjack rooms, lightning roulette, crazy time, monopoly live and dragon tiger all online during Australian peak hours. Streams are 1080p by default and drop cleanly to 720p on slower mobile connections without freezing the bet timer.

The little extras matter too

Crash games (Aviator, JetX), instant wins, scratchcards and a small bingo room sit in their own corner of the lobby. They will not be the reason most players sign up, but they fill out the catalogue and give returning players something different when the slot session has run its course.
