- These games are not currently available on the smaller legacy SE devices. The limited screen real estate makes it difficult to display the large number of cards that are required to play the game.
These games were designed & developed by an ardent casino player who plays 3-4 times every week. No worries if you do not know how to play. Each game includes detailed instructions and rules as well as descriptions of the possible poker hands and the related payouts. Already a player? You're going to love being able to "sit at the table" and practice your technique.
Each game includes its own separate set of achievements for you to tackle as you are building up your bankroll and you will periodically be rewarded with bonus chips throughout the day.
You are sure to have hours of fun improving your understanding of the games!
To top it off, the developer personally reviews ALL feedback and acts upon it. If you have suggestions, submit them! Many of the current games were introduced in response to Player feedback.
Note: some games may not be available on devices with smaller screens because you would need a microscope to view your cards!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 14th November 2025
Recent improvements include:
This "maintenance release" includes several updates to underlying "shared frameworks" that are used by RBG to handle things like ads, error handling, and logging. Additionally, I've streamlined some code to consolidate the code base.
The next release will include another new game as I get back to the business of focusing on games and features.
Please keep your suggestions and requests coming. The backlog is HUGE, but there is always room for more Player ideas.
Hopefully, there will only be one more release before the holidays.
Stay Safe!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The app has everything, theres continuous bonus chips given and its obvious the creator really cares about poker / our enjoyment. Totally cool app, thank you for letting a fun app be free.
Good waste of time, keeps you playing.
The best app for playing, learning, and practicing table games all for free :) – jarjarjarjar.
Craps rolls are terrible. We cant go more than four or five rolls before we roll at seven. We play live craps all the time and you get runs of 10 to 15 more frequently than this game is giving you so we think the fix is here and we poured a lot of money in this app. More for probabilities at a casino and the probabilities arent right on this app unfortunately.
What happened to the let it ride game.
Way better than going to a casino! You have all the table games you could ever want, some you cant find elsewhere online, and unlike the casinos, the games arent rigged against you! Love it.
We were looking for a craps app to practice some strategies. This is by far the best app for that. You can easily modify bets and bankroll, the interface has everything yet is easy to use, and the visuals are clean. The dev is also very active and responsive to feedback and bug reports you submit through the app. The little details and extras, like the background history of the casino game really show the devs pride in his work and love of the games. Great app.
Craps game is amazing!! Needs Across, Inside and Outside bet options and an undo button.
This is a great app! Very fun and informative. You can learn to play lots of games on the app without having to learn on the fly at a casino.
We had over 100,000 chips and they disappeared we would give a better review if we could get them back thx.
We were looking for an app to play Criss Cross Poker on and boy does this app deliver! If you like to play cards you will love this app. There are so many carnival casino games to choose from. We are having a blast.
This app is just about as good as a an actual casino. It has all of the table games you could possibly ask for. Seems fair as well. The one recommendation we do have is to add a way to select your denom on all games when placing bets. Kind of like how craps is set up on this game. Its gets annoying having to hit the button 40 times to bet $200 on blackjack.
We enjoy gambling. Riverboat Gambler is a passion project we found one day looking for a quick game to play while Im bored, or in some free time. We love how Danny cares about his project and regularly updates it. We always smile a little whenever we see an update, or FREE CHIPS. And his bitmoji shows up. Its a one of a kind game, and really the only phone game we play and keep coming back too. Keep it up Danny, great work.
This is a fantastic app that includes all casino games. Developers are very responsive to help and add features and revisions if you contact them through the app. The graphical interface is great and the functionality is very simple to understand. We like the variations of settings you can set in each game. Overall an excellent app.
This is, by far, the best table games app there is for IPhone. Thank you Danny.
RBG kills time for us on breaks at work, lunch, and when we get home from work. Its also taught us how to play some games we didnt even know existed. The one thing Ive noticed that makes it different than other games is the notes from the dev. Theyre written like theyre your buddy who is just as excited for you to try the new features as you are. We love that feeling. 5/5.
This is great for learning casino games. Theyre pretty accurate to the real thing. Bonus: the developer is chill and he listens to feedback. A long time ago we suggested he add a variant of Baccarat that we see in California. Sure it took a while (programming by yourself takes a lot of work) but he added it recently! We think thats pretty cool.
We love and appreciate the wide variety of games. And just like the casino, sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. If we could change just one thing, it would be the ability to wager $1 on some of the side bets; as many casinos have that as a minimum. It would make for a more realistic simulator that would allow players to practice playing with various bets if they plan a casino trip. However, this app still deserves the highest rating for being both simplistic in design, but highly entertaining at the same time.
This app has everything game you can think of as far as table games. The best part is also the support that comes with it. Every kink or bug gets fixed immediately and also any idea or feedback is answered right away.
This one feels way more like a real casino than the others. Tons of table games, just about anything you could think about. Everything runs super smooth. Feels like sitting down at a real blackjack or baccarat table. Ive been playing every day. Especially the craps.
Hone your skills before going into a casino.
This is hands down the very best casino game in App Store. The developer is very responsive to feedback. There are ads but they dont overwhelm the game play like other games. This game is so good we would gladly pay to drop the ads it does have.
Says 5 TO 1 for 3 shot poker (assuming same for other games. 5 TO 1 means 6 back with win 5 FOR 1 means 5 back with win Game pays FOR instead of TO.
Please add double deck blackjack.
Probably the most complete set of casino games you will ever find. Excellent instructions on how to play! Also the developer is open to feedback back. Several of the games have been suggested by players. The only disadvantage is you are playing against the dealer or a pay table instead of other players, even fictional ones. But it is a great way to become familiar with many different games.
When we drop 5.99 into Mr Daniels account we get THEE sickest cards dealt to us, works for us, all in the game.
Not quite sure this isnt playing exactly how blackjack should be played. When you make a bet and you tie with the dealer it becomes a push. Yet playing the game.. We lose our bet regardless. This should be fixed to follow the rules of the game.
The odds in winning in this game make the casinos look great. The chance of you pressing or even winning or less then hitting the mega million. Never spend real money. If you do jsut donate to him. Its so uneven. Every pressure or big bet you lose. Every single time.
Love this app! Its a great way to learn the rules of each game before heading to the casino. Highly recommend.
This app has just about every game you could want in a casino and none of the flashy dumb gimmicky distractions. Just the straight up table games. Perfect.
Top notch list of games and a very responsive developer. Ill be supporting this game with our $$$.
We enjoy having the availability of playing several of our favorite casino games.
This is our favorite casino app. We are a Las Vegas local and many of our friends who come to visit are young and new to gaming. We encourage every single one to download the app to practice. Slots apps are oversaturated and many apps that offer table games have a small library. RBG is fantastically large library with nearly every casino game imaginable. Certainly, if you are new to gaming, this app will provide you the skills to advance beyond just blackjack and roulette. Every game offered at any Las Vegas casino lives in this app, and more and more obscure games get added with each update. This is the only app we have seen that offers Pai Gow Tiles, and for that we are grateful. 10/10 highly recommend.
This is a fun and down to earth place to play, enjoying the vibe.
This a great app. Especially for learning the rules of a game before heading into a casino. Lots of fun, great interface and the developer is constantly updating and improving.
We love this app! It has a great selection of games. It is easy to navigate. LOVE the daily messages from the creator!! No buffering. Keep doing what youre doing Dan.
This app has all the casino games that we play Pai Gow Poker, Three Card Poker, High Card Flush , and Crazy Four Poker. The ads are a little annoying, but we just close the app and re-open it. It really helps with our actual playing.
Love this app! Great way to practice games before heading to the real thing. Lots of games to choose from. Craps is well done and a favorite. Only complaint is about the ads, seem longer than on other apps and unable to easily exit out, often have multiple screens to navigate thru. Would pay to be ad free, but dont see it as an option.
Casino table games at your fingertips! Saw an issue/preference we would like to see in a game, and got a response back within 5min! And they are working on the change as we speak! Great job on the app.
Hi Danny. We really enjoy your app, hours of fun! Have you ever thought about adding a play blind feature to 3 Card Poker? We know we could just choose to play every hand but we enjoy the suspense of playing blind. Thanks for your consideration. Erica C.
Craps is very realistic and would be great for anyone looking to learn the game or tryout a new technique. The dice rolls are in line with live tables and within statistical parameters. Just like at casinos you have hot roles followed by a cold table with a streak of quick 7 and outs. Dont expect better results than you would expect in Vegas; the house has the statistical advantage and chasing a loss with the same or larger bets will lead to an empty bank role. Additionally, the app automatically places your bets in the correct amount based on the chip you choose. And the hops bet and table action option is better than any other app we have ever played. There are also a ton of card games. They all provide really good instructions and are very enjoyable to play. Definitely recommend.
Get right to our favorites so we can lose quicker.
Where about gambler is by far the best gambling Simulator on the App Store, hands-down.
We literally play every day. Maybe just a few handsmaybe 1/2 hour. Until Massachusetts has legal online play this is our go to game. Fun. Realistic. And minimal ads. Keep it up Riverboat. You rock.
This app has all the games you would find in a casino. Dice and cards are random and not connected to bet amounts. Developer even shows the distribution curve to demonstrate the expected outcomes over time. A+ set of games in our opinion.
If youre trying to learn a new casino game or want to know if you have success playing a familiar one, this app is for you! Really great interface and super fun to see what works and what doesnt at the casino. The entire experience does not require any real money at all, and you can try strategies to take into the real world. Awesome game.
This is a great platform and awesome to get experience with games that we are familiar with. We see other reviews claimimg rigged and that amuses us that folks think that and come up with conspiracy theory buffoonery. If anything, we seem to get better draws in this app then we seem get on the casino floors.
This is one of our favorite games on the App Store. Ive learned a lot on here and its given us the courage to try some other games next time we go back to Vegas.
Excellent app, lots of gaming options and very easy to get chips. App seems to have over 30 choices including games that are hard to find (face up pai gow, free bet blackjack, etc.).
This is the best overall casino gambling app around. On top of that it is outstandingly curated! Issues are few but if there are they are quickly dealt with. A great experience.
