The one great benefit of online casino gaming is the variety of games
offered. By far, slots, blackjack, roulette, and video poker are the
most popular. As a result, online casinos tend to offer specialty versions
of these games to cater to different gambling interests.
Unlike brick and mortar casinos, where human dealers, gaming equipment,
and tables are required, online casinos use software located on secure
servers to provide gameplay.
As a result, these websites can offer less common games to players
who don't like to play the others mentioned above.
Caribbean Stud Poker - Next to Blackjack, this is probably one
of the most favorite casino card games. The object is to beat the house
by holding a higher combination of cards at the end of a hand. There
is one catch, however: the house must "qualify" or hold at
least an Ace - King in its hand in order to pay out any winning bets
to players. If the house does not qualify, bets are off. Further, if
the house holds 2 pair or 3 of a kind, the player will lose his or her
bet unless they hold a higher card combination. Caribbean Stud Poker
jackpots, which payout for difficult-to-acquire-hands like a straight
flush, four of a kind, or royal flush generally are very high and may
appear to be well worth the extra ante at the beginning of a hand. Remember,
however, that the odds of hitting these hands is remote. As a result,
a bet for the jackpot most always gets collected by the house, and the
player loses more money than expected.
Baccarat and Mini - Baccarat are offered in most online casinos.
Minimum wagers are generally lower than land based casinos, and gameplay
is much faster. Always bet bank, since the house always has the edge
in the long run.
Craps - A casino classic, is offered at nearly all online casinos.
Again, as with other games that involve multiple players on land, online
play affords each player a virtual private table. As a result, the game
tends to move much faster and bankrolls get hit harder. It's best to
go with the table minimums until one has a good feel for the game before
betting big.
Pai Gow - This is a favorite of Chinese gamblers. Essentially,
Pai Gow is a poker game, where players compete against the house. Once
you learn Pai Gow, you may find that you'll occasionally win big, since
this game has less house edge than others, especially with highly experienced
players. Some casinos may offer variants of what is played in Vegas
or Macau.
Sic Bo -This is both a dice and card game. Another game from
the orient, Sic Bo is a social game and can be very exciting. Make sure
you learn the game's ins and outs before you play - to most, Sic Bo
looks complicated.
