Coventry has a long history of casinos and bingo halls as part of its entertainment scene, but what modern options let you gamble in completely different settings far from home?
The live game show genre contains games with a human presenter in a themed studio, with the following being some of the options you’ll find.
A Fantasy Setting
Slot machines, roulette and blackjack are some of the games you can play when you enter a local casino, so it’s no surprise to see similar games used in online versions. Yet, the emergence of the game show genre has allowed casinos to explore new ideas with fantasy settings that transport you from central England to a new world. Some of these games are based on popular slot machines while others introduce completely new ideas or take their inspiration from popular culture.
The Adventures Beyond Wonderland live casino game provides wheel-based betting with the giant wheel divided into segments with different values. The setting is based on Lewis Carroll’s famous fantasy stories, meaning that there are interesting details such as weird and wonderful characters to look at on the screen. Three bonus rounds can be triggered if the wheel stops on one of the special sections where they’re listed.
An Elegant Casino
If you’ve ever been to casinos in Warwickshire or elsewhere, you’ll know that the dress code and atmosphere can vary. Only some of the most exclusive establishments across the planet enforce a strict dress code like those seen in older movies with stylish casino scenes where James Bond puts on his best outfits. Having said that, the game show genre allows creators to introduce games with an elegant feel if they like.
Games like Spin a Win Live and Mega Ball Live introduce a stylish setting where the presenter’s glamorous outfits add to the overall feel of something special. As well as the look, these games introduce different features such as unique bonus rounds. They’re all simple games to play though, which means many players choose a game show based on the theme and presentation as much as the gameplay.

An Airline Adventure
An airline is one place you might not expect to travel in a casino game. Yet, Cash or Crash Live takes us on a plane-themed adventure where the studio looks very little like Birmingham Airport or even Coventry Airport, where passenger flights are no longer possible. It’s a fast-paced betting game where presenters dressed as cabin crew draw coloured balls out of a machine to determine whether the craft keeps climbing or not.
These games all have a simple betting process that makes them easy for newcomers to try. If you’ve always wondered what it’s like to gamble in a casino, they provide a way of starting with no fuss or delay. It’s just a question of looking for a theme and presentation style that you like a look at and then reading the rules.
As live game shows continue to grow in popularity, we can expect to see more of them added to the list. This means that they could end up becoming as varied as online slots, where many different themes and features have been added in recent times.
