Bet9ja lists 28 games under Popular, and the tab holds a finding that contradicts much of what is written about Nigerian casino play.

Why Exclusives Win Here
Sixty four percent of the tab is exclusive to Bet9ja. That includes 49ja, 49 Turbo, Spin And Win, Gidi slot, Classic Blackjack and the Take The Shot titles. Familiar formats beat famous brands.
Draw games were familiar in Nigeria well before online casinos came along. 49ja carries six bet types, from Bet49 to Rainbow. 49 Turbo trims that to four for a quicker cycle.
What Popular Really Means
Popularity measures how often a game is opened, not how well it pays. A popular title carries the same return it would elsewhere in the lobby. Because exclusives cannot be compared on rival sites, the standard formats are easier to judge.
Only two crash games, Aviator and Spaceman, reach the tab, although crash is one of the quickest growing formats in Nigeria. The football titles tell the same story as the rest of the lobby: Bet9ja customers come from football first, and the casino meets them on familiar ground.
First-time players can check the terms on the YOHAIG bonus page, with more background over on the YOHAIG site.
