To play casino games there is no need to dress up these days. You don’t even have to leave the house, if you don’t feel like it. Casino games are available online and can be played from the comfort of your own home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Most of the time you need to download the casino software only once, when you want to play online casino games. The software is usually available directly from the online casino website of your choice.
These days, some casinos offer flash games that do not require a download. Personally, I find download casinos more convenient as you don’t have to open a browser every time you want to play. Simply play directly from your desktop.
These are 10 casino games you can play online:
1. Blackjack
Arguably one of the most popular card games in the world is Blackjack. The object of the game is to get a combination of hands as close to 21 as possible, without going over (busting).
Cards 2-10 are worth their numerical value. Face cards are worth 10 and aces can be worth 1 or 11. Over time you will learn the odds of your hand passing versus the dealer’s hand.
Basically, it is a very easy game to learn how to play, and it is worth spending some time on it, as it is possible to develop some good skills that will greatly increase your chances of winning in this game.
2. Dice
Craps is a very exciting dice game. It is the fastest moving game at the casino tables with a wide variety of bets and betting options. Although a craps table can seem quite intimidating when you first see it, it’s easier than it looks. It’s best to stick to the basic bets, as the more complex ones most of the time don’t give you better odds of winning.
3. Roulette
There are mostly two types of roulette offered to online players: American roulette wheels and European roulette wheels. As the American roulette wheel contains an additional 00 field, the European wheels have slightly better odds of winning.
In this random number game, players can choose to place bets on a single number or a range of numbers, the colors black and red, and odd and even ranges. The dealer spins the roulette wheel, which contains colored and numbered pockets, in one direction, while releasing and spinning a ball in the opposite direction on the wheel’s circular track. When the ball eventually loses its speed and falls into one of the holes (37 or 38) on the wheel, the winning number (and thus the color and range of winning numbers) for the round is determined.
4. Mini Baccarat
It is a card game with exactly the same rules as standard Baccarat, with the exception that players do not take turns being the banker. Six or seven players can be seated at a mini Baccarat table and there are 3 betting spots per player corresponding to banker, player and tie bets.
The object of the game is to get as close as possible to 9 by dealing 2 or 3 cards to each player. Cards valued 2-9 represent their exact face value, and 10 and face cards are worth 0. The hand’s score is the right digit of the total cards. For example, if the two cards are an 8 and a 7, which add up to 15, the value of the hand is 5.
This is a fun and fast game of pure luck.
5. Online slots
Online slots are among the simplest online casino games you can play. When you start the game, you choose the amount of your bet (usually €/$0.05, €/$0.10, €/$0.50 or €/$1 per spin) and how many lines you want to play. Then press the button to spin the reels.
Different slot machines offer different payouts for different image combinations. You can find out which pictures and how many in a row win you from the paytables of the slot machine you are playing on.
6. Online Video Poker
Video poker is basically a slot machine based on poker. The principles of poker are the basis of this game and therefore the object is to obtain any of the winning poker hand combinations.
It is one of the most popular casino games today, combining the excitement and skill of poker with the speed of slot machines and some of the highest winning odds of any casino game.
7. Pai Gow Poker
Pai Gow poker is also called two-handed poker. It is a version of the Chinese Pai Gow game of dominoes, played with cards that have poker hand values. The game is played with the standard 52 standard cards, including a joker, which can be used as an ace or to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush. And the table is set for 6 players and a dealer.
The object is to create two poker hands (a five-card hand and a two-card hand) from the seven cards you are dealt. The value of the five-card hand must exceed the value of the two-card hand.
8. Sic Bo
SicBo is another dice game that can be played online. The game has its origins in ancient China and involves 3 dice and a table with a variety of betting options. The object of the game is to guess the result of the dice roll.
The dealer rolls the dice using a special box, called a SicBo shaker, and the result is hidden until all bets are placed. The winning numbers and combinations light up on the table and the dealer pays the winning bets. It is true that the game board looks quite complex, but it is actually very easy to play.
9.Keno
Keno is a lottery type game that is very similar to the more well known game called “Bingo”. It spins around a circular glass enclosure, called a “bubble,” containing balls numbered 1 through 80. Twenty of these 80 balls will be drawn in each draw, as you mark the numbers of your choice on a blank keno ticket.
Once drawn, the computerized Keno system calculates and determines the outcome of that game. The amount you win depends on how many of the drawn numbers you have chosen.
10. Online poker
Online poker is very popular these days, fueled by the big televised international poker tournaments that amateur players often enter and play alongside professional poker players. Check out the poker bonuses at the different online poker sites, as you can often win seats to participate in big international poker tournaments.
Poker is a card game of luck, but if you practice and develop your skills, your chances of winning will increase enormously.
Different types of poker are played in online casinos, but the current favorite is Texas Hold’em. The object of Hold’em is to make the best possible five-card poker hand using any of your two hole cards (dealt face down) and the five community cards (dealt face up on the table).
There are so many different types of casino games these days and most of them can be found online as well. So whether you like the adventure of going to a real land-based casino or prefer to play online casino from the comfort of your own home, all these popular games are waiting for you to play and enjoy.
