Thanks to advances in tech, it’s possible to enjoy all the fun of a night at the casino from the comfort of your own home. You get to enjoy the fast pace and all the glitz that you get at a real-world casino without having to leave the house.
If you’re thinking of trying your luck with some online games, here are some classics to get you started.
Bingo
Bingo has been around for years. In fact, Brits have been playing for centuries, with the version we know dating to the 1500s.
It’s easy to see why it’s still a firm favourite. It’s quick, builds a sense of community and has a very quirky numbering system. It even attracts Hollywood stars. While it’s fun to play in person, there are so many ways to enjoy this numbers game online.
Online bingo sites are just as fast-paced and you get to see who in the ‘room’ will win. You still watch your bingo card and see if the numbers there are ‘called out’. But better still, there are often a range of variations on the classic format and different jackpots to play for.
Roulette
Roulette is one of the most recognisable games in a casino and for good reason. From the wheel, with its alternating red and black-coloured dial, to the vibrant green betting mat this is a striking setup that inspires all the thrill and buzz of a casino hall.
Like bingo, roulette is just as accessible to play online as it is in person. Once you’ve selected your roulette game, you’re sent to your virtual table where you choose your chip size and place your bets on the roulette board. From there, the wheel spins and you soon see if you’re in luck.
It’s fast, fun and the perfect choice if you’re planning on trying online gaming.
Slots
Slots are vibrant and easy to play. While you only get a handful of slot machines in an arcade, online access means that it’s possible to tap into hundreds of games. These virtual ‘machines’ are brightly coloured and there and many different themes to choose from.
Slots are a game of chance and it’s possible to win simply based on the luck of the spin of the reels. But that’s what makes these games so appealing. They’re quick, easy and don’t require the strategies that come with more complex casino games like poker.
Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games. Also known as 21, the aim is to beat the dealer by acquiring a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it.
You begin by placing your bet, receive two cards, and decide whether to ‘hit’ for more cards or ‘stand’ with your current hand. You can make strategic choices like ‘double down’ and ‘split’ to maximise your chances of triumph.
But as with other online games, there’s even more choice available for online players. Take your pick. There are multi-hand options and high stakes versions, designed to add extra thrill to this classic card game.
