Websites now offer more than 300 different types of casino games that can be played online. While some of the more popularly played games are available on every casino website, some sites also have certain games exclusively designed for their members. Most of the larger websites offer a majority of the games and feature the game lists as libraries on the basis of their different attributes, to ease the process of choosing a game.
All of the available casino games online can be broadly categorized into three types on the basis of their interface: HTML, JAVA or downloadable. Judging by the game graphics, downloadable games have the most realistic and impressive sound effects, animation and 3D visuals. Downloading the game software is free in most cases and provides the huge benefit of allowing gamers the casino-tour without Internet connectivity.
JAVA based games provide features and effects comparative to downloadable games, without the trouble of download. They just run as applets on the Internet browsers. HTML based casino games also do not require to be downloaded and are mostly without any sound or animation complexity, and hence faster to get started with.
Although it wouldn’t feel like Atlantic City or Las Vegas, the entire gaming range of their casinos, or actually a bigger range of games can be enjoyed online. Just like it is in the LA or AC casinos, online casino games also have varying costs and variable chances of winning for the gambler. Some of the classic online games, categorized into heads, have been discussed below.
Slots: The online slots are as popular as the slots in (land) casinos. There are numerous slots available for the player to choose from on the basis of style, design, bet amount or other features. Standard slot games can be any of the three main types – bonus slots, five reels or three reels. The prices could range from a few cents per spin to as much as $10 for each. Quite a few casinos these days offer a slightly advanced gaming style of slots, in which the jackpot keeps building up until someone strikes it and becomes entitled to the entire amount. Playing on slots is actually totally about luck.
Table Games: Most land-based casinos have an entire section dedicated to table games for the rush that is expected for them and online casinos are no exception. Most websites feature almost all of the table games available in casinos, along with some unique versions exclusively for online gaming. The more popular table games are roulette (the wheel spin game), craps (both single and double dice), sic bo (the 3 dice Chinese game) and pai gow (the Chinese tile game). There are also some other relatively less popular table based casino games online like the Caribbean Stud Poker and Red Dog. Although most players understand that these games’ odds are towards the house (more so when the ‘house’ is the computer), it doesn’t deter their love for these games.
Gaming Machines: It feels kind of weird to be playing video terminal type of casino games online. It is like you’re playing a pretentious video terminal game, through a real video terminal. Regardless, most online casinos do feature gaming machine type games like the video lottery terminals or several video poker options, like tens or better and joker poker. Video slots would also fall under this category.
Card Games: Card games have been the most acclaimed forever at land casinos and now in online casinos. However, the number of card games available online is really huge, for every traditional or common card game basis has been further diversified through innovative modifications. Though the main card based casino games online are blackjack, baccarat, poker, house of cards and war out there, their variants, rules and guidelines have been pretty much redefined.
Unarguably, there is an infinite world of casino games out there. All one needs to get started is some guidance, patience and a couple of tutorials.
