Types of Casino Games

cards blackjackWhen you sign up in an online casino, no matter which country you’re from, chances are you’re going to be bombarded with suggestions for games you could play. Most online casinos have between 50 and 300 games ready to go, and a good chunk of them are presented to you right there on the front page with no context at all, you’re just left to fend for yourself and figure things out on your own. And in an environment where literally every single time you play you have to pay real money, there’s really not a whole lot of room for testing stuff out and figuring everything all on your own. Sure, some online casinos offer a free play option where you can test the games without paying, but it’s not available everywhere and, when it is, it’s often limited to only certain games. So if you can’t figure things out on your own, what are you supposed to do?

Fear not, for I’m here to give you some very basic and brief directions on where you should focus your efforts! The question you need to ask yourself is how much you know about gambling in general, and how much experience you’ve got. In my limited experience as a player, I’d say that blackjack is definitely the place where you can earn the highest rewards, but it’s also where the highest risk is. Online blackjack works the same as real blackjack, in that there’s a set of cards which are randomly predetermined after a “shuffle” prior to the game. Contrary to popular belief, the order of the cards is NOT determined on the go, it’s preloaded in the system. So regardless of whether you choose Hit or Stop, you’ve got the exact same card waiting for you face-down. As such, various blackjack strategies, such as the ones described in the appropriately named “The World’s Greatest Blackjack Book” will still work.

If you’ve got some gambling experience, but not too much, then roulette is your game. It offers enough choice to allow players to make basic decisions (such as whether you want to bet on a color, or an odd/even number or a particular number), but for the most part is still very much a luck-based game. That way you can make certain decisions that you know for a fact (or from experience) have a higher probability of success, and if that doesn’t work you can always just rely on pure, blind luck to make you rich, which would be next to impossible in blackjack. If you’re a complete amateur at gambling and know literally nothing about it, then slots or lotto is your cup of tea. Those require little to no input – you literally just press a button and see if you win, and at the same time they allow you to win millions of pounds on even a smaller bet… And if you don’t, there’s always the chance that you can still win a pretty good sum.

I hope that was helpful for you! Now that you know a good place to start, it’s time for you to get some gambling done!
