With the online gambling market continuing to offer a variety of great deals (largely due to the substantial amount of competitor sites), there’s never been a better time to enjoy a few games yourself. But how should you go about deciding which of the many games available are worthy of your attention? Well, hopefully this list of the best five should help,
Poker. It might be seen as a bit of a cliche in the betting world, but poker is a classic for good reason: it’s great fun! Unlike some card games, poker’s learning curve is reasonably easy for a beginner to negotiate the web’s world of usernames means that you can play with complete anonymity, so you don’t have to worry about pressure. There are a huge amount of different websites that offer poker from low levels to get you started up to the big stakes for whenyou’ve got used to playing. 888 Poker, Full Tilt Poker and Party Poker are all good websites to start with.
Bingo. In the last few years, online bingo has absolutely taken off, with new websites springing up almost every week to offer their own versions of this popular game. Because competition is so high, it’s actually a good time to get involved, with sites outbidding each other to attract custom. Different companies are offering some great deals such as more than doubling your first initial stake, so if you put £10 into your site account, they will double it to £20 (and on some occasions more than that). There are usually a range of different games that can be played for both low and high stakes.
Blackjack. An absolute Vegas classic, blackjack been a part of the gaming industry for years. Gloriously simple to pick up and play, it’ll take you less than five minutes to learn how the game works (if you don’t already) and get going. If you’ve got a good memory for remembering which cards have already been dealt, you might find yourself playing at quite an advanced level quite quickly. Incredibly addictive, Blackjack makes for a really good introduction to casino gaming.
Roulette. Another classic that’s synonymous with Vegas, roulette has its own sense of theatre, and offers a lot of potential for strategic play. If you want to get started on roulette, it’s important to remember that the European version will actually give you better odds due to it having one less 0 square. It also has one fewer green square, which also drops the house odds. Like blackjack, Roulette is quite simple to start off with but has its own learning curve for those looking to play for bigger stakes.
Casino games. The other main group of games that are popular online are the virtual equivalent of the old fruit and slot machines, with almost all modern casino sites offering their own versions. Some of the games originated in Egypt, such as the popular Cleopatra’s Pyramids, and others are simply based on the classic ‘3 lemons’ style fruities. Whatever the design, thesegames never go out of fashion, and are beloved by those who love the ‘classic’ pub feel they get from playing them.
Still not charmed by LG's robo-vacuum? Well, the Korean electronics manufacturer has plenty more appliances up its capacious sleeves, including a washing machine that won't require water. Alas, Senior Vice President for LG Electronics Home Appliance Division, Kevin Cha, wasn't willing to divulge to us exactly how this laundry magic trick will be performed, or whether it'll be totally waterless rather than just virtually waterless -- it's still in the early stages of development and is (for now) a trade secret.
