Slot and Table Games

The idea is to let the reels spin and wait to see if a winning combination of symbols is lined up. But it's a pure game of luck. You win or lose, you have no control over your chances. Only about how much you bet, or what kind of slots you want to play. To give you an idea. We estimate a house advantage of about 10% and even significantly more.Read more in Info Playing Slots

- Roulette: Playing roulette gives the most casino feeling. Roulette is a popular casino table game, also online. There are two main variants. European Roulette with one zero (house edge 3%), and American roulette with one zero and a double zero (house edge 5%). Basically, the rules of roulette are simple. The ball spins around the roulette wheel and falls into one of the 37 (38) number boxes. You bet on a number that you expect to come out. This is only one chance in 37 (38), but for which you can catch a high profit payout. The odds increase when you make combined bets, such as betting on odd / even numbers, red / black, which makes the odds close to one in 2. But the payout will be much smaller.

- Blackjack: The blackjack card game is perhaps best if you want to play for real money. Although always a game of chance, you can still strategically increase your chances of luck. The rules of Blackjack are pretty simple: beat the casino dealer with a hand of 21, or at least higher than the dealer's hand. If your hand is higher than 21, you lose. You start with two cards. If you think that is high enough or 21, you pass. If not, add cards until you reach 21 or high enough to beat the dealer. If you win, you will receive a 2 to 1 payout. You can also split or double, which increases your odds, but decreases your potential winnings.

- Videopoker: Video Poker is very popular with many online casino players. Jacks or Better is most commonly played online. The simplicity of the game makes it very accessible. The video poker game rules are based on the well-known Five-card Draw poker game. With the five cards that are dealt you try to get the best poker hand. You can swap cards to try and improve your hand. The only strategy is knowing when you can go against the casino with a low combination in your hand, or need a strong combination to win. The size of the payout when you win does depend on the strength of the winning combination in your hand.

- Bingo: Bingo is also very popular with players in online casinos. It is a game of chance that is very simple to play with easy rules. Just wait and see if the numbers drawn are on your card. Before you start, you just have to choose what kind of bingo you want to play. The simple 30-ball bingo where you must be the first to complete the entire card. The 75 ball, 80 ball and 90 ball bingo that requires a combination of winning lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) or angles or specific patterns to win first.

- Craps: Online craps gambling already requires a little more knowledge from the player. The craps game itself is simple. You bet on the outcome of two dice being rolled across the gaming table. The rules regarding the different possible bets are a bit more complicated. If on the first roll ("come out") a 7 or 11 (winning) or a 2 ,3 or 12 (losing) is rolled, the game ends, and a new one begins. With a different outcome, the game enters a second phase, and this last outcome becomes the new 'point' number that the player has to try to roll again. He may keep throwing until the point comes out (winning) or a 7 (losing), then the game ends. Practically you can bet on a winning or losing outcome. Read to learn more Info Playing Craps

Big prize games and extra bonus rewards

- Progressive Jackpots: Progressive jackpots such as Mega Moolah or Wheel of Fortune are well known to many online casino players. Typical of progressive jackpots is that the prize pool continues to increase, the more players participate and wager, and as long as they are not won. These can become huge amounts, which of course makes it even more attractive to take a chance. The most famous type are the network related progressive jackpots, supported by major software providers such as Microgaming and NetEntertainement.

The most famous are slot tournaments, but craps, baccarat, video poker, roulette or blackjack tournaments are just as common.

Strategy

- Odds of winning and House edge of each casino game: Every casino game has a certain 'house edge' for every bet that the player makes, which is shown in percentages. An advantage that the online casino has over the player on each type of game. This house edge is of course not a constant every time you bet on that same game. It is an average over a long period of time, over hundreds of times the game has been played. However, it can provide a clue to the player to estimate his potential loss.
Casino games with a higher house edge percentage provide a greater benefit to the casino. For example, a game with a 5% house edge would result in a $0.50 loss for a player who bets $10, a 10% house edge would result in $1 loss.
Estimated house edge for Video Poker: 0.35% - Blackjack: 0.30% - Baccarat: 1.25% - Craps: 2% to 15% - Roulette: European 3%. American 5% - Poker: 5% - Slots: 18% - Bingo Game: 25%

The odds of winning happen from a different angle. This is the degree of winning probability in a particular game. Also depending on the way you play, your strategy. For example roulette. The wheel has 37 numbered pockets. When you bet on one number, your chance is 1 in 37 that it will come out. More explanation can be found in "Tips & Strategies".
