Casinos have been places of fun and excitement ever since they first opened their doors hundreds of years ago.
The thrill of the games of chance and the appeal of the enormous jackpot prizes, attract millions to the gambling capitals of the world every month.
Since the creation of the Internet, online casinos offering online casino games have known incredible growth and have become just as important as their land based counterparts.
There are many different types of online casino games to choose from, each of them with their own characteristics and exciting elements of luck and sometimes skill and strategy.
With the necessary practice, some casino games can even be played professionally.
There are three types of online casino games:
1. Table Games
2. Electronic Gaming Machines
3. Random Number Games
Table Games
Table games usually are played with cards or are based around dice. Well known examples of Table games are: Poker, Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat and SicBo.
While there are strategies which could allegedly enhance your winning odds ever so slightly in pure chance games like SicBo and Craps (dice games) and Baccarat (card game), it is a fact that these games are entirely based on luck.
On the other hand, practice, study and some good strategies can seriously enhance your Poker and Blackjack skills and game, and increase your winning odds in these popular card games.
Electronic Gaming Machines
In western casinos there are two types of Electronic Gaming Machines which you can find in almost any online and land based casino: slot machines and video poker games.
The slot machines are the most popular games in casinos throughout the world and online alike. They are easy to understand, incredibly fun to play, and for players visiting a land based casino, the machines are less intimating to engage with than the dealer and other players at the actual casino tables.
Video Poker games are based on a five-card draw poker game, and are (in land based casinos) played on a computerized console (resembling a TV-screen).
Winning on the Slots is solely based on luck, but in a Video Poker game you can compute the probability of winning, based on the cards you've been dealt from a simulated deck of cards, and with the option to choose which card to hold, there is a certain element of skill in the game, which makes it even more fun.
Random Number Games
As their name clearly reveals, Random Number Games are based upon the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment, and are played at a table or online (e.g. Roulette), or on a console, online or through purchase of paper tickets or cards (e.g. Keno and Bingo).
While there are roulette strategies out there which may indeed help you win, in practice they are extremely risky and your losses are likely to far outweigh your winnings. So it's best to have luck on your side at the roulette table.
Good luck is also needed when playing Keno and Bingo. It seems that the only strategy that could possibly work, if you are considering playing these games in which winning is solely based on luck, is doing some good deeds and let Karma do the rest.
Whether you like the sheer excitement and adrenaline of waiting to find out if you'll get lucky and hit the jackpot, or you master the art of bluffing and possess excellent strategic insight, online casino games will whisk you away from the daily grind and keep you entertained for hours at a time.
