Gambling is one of the oldest pastimes on the planets having being played as early as 3000 BC. The industry has come a long way since then though. In fact, in the past 10 years the gambling industry has changed enormously.
Over the course of the last decade the power has shifted away from land-based venues to the online sector which is now going from strength to strength. If your ears have pricked up at the mention of an online casino or you're just looking for a new, fun way to unwind this is the article for you.
Below we cover 3 great online casino games that are perfect for beginners, along with a description of how to get the most out of them. So before you rush to sign-up and play your first online casino game, scroll down and find out everything you need to know about 5 great games.
If it weren't for slot machines most land-based and online casinos would be operating at a loss. These fun and interactive games are the beating heart of every gambling company on the planet and probably what got you interested in online gambling in the first place.
How do they work? These games are completely down to chance and involve no skill whatsoever, so are perfect for newbies. To play all you need to do is hit the 'spin' button and then cross your fingers that a winning combination comes up.
Vital information… Every licensed slot operator must clearly display their Return to Player (RTP) figures. Usually represented as a percentage this number tells you on average, how much money you could expect to win for every £100 wagered.
A good RTP is anything above 95%. Anything less means you'll be going through your bankroll at a strong pace. If you want to play for as long as possible, search out slots with a high RTP.
How to win big… Unfortunately there are no strategies to help you win big whilst playing an online slot. The best advice to maximise your chances of winning big though are to only play games with a progressive jackpot.
This is an amount of money that raises every minute before it is randomly won by one player playing the slot.
One of the most famous casino games on the planet, blackjack is a fast-paced game that is easy to pick up but tricky to master. If you like thrilling games that come one after another then this could be the game for you.
How does it work? Pitted against the dealer you will be dealt two cards to start with and the aim is to reach 21, also known as blackjack before the dealer. To do this you add up the value of your cards. If you can't reach 21 with your first two cards you can request another each round, but beware, if you exceed 21 you lose the hand.
Vital information… An Ace can have two values, it can either represent 1 or 11 so if you draw an Ace you can be a little more gung-ho in requesting additional cards. Together with a 10 or face card and Ace completes blackjack, the best possible hand in the game.
How to win big… Blackjack is one of the most written about casino games with a number of strategies and guides on how to win big. There are too many to cover in this article but if you do your research you'll find several guides on how to win more often and bigger.
Probably the most well-known casino game on the planet, poker is a game that can date its origins back to 19th century America. The most popular variant of the game is Texas Hold 'Em but that is a notoriously tricky game to pick up.
Before settling down to play your first high-stakes Texas Hold 'Em game it's a wise idea to try out video poker, to get to grips with card combinations and suits.
How does it work? Similarly to slots, video poker largely comes down to chance. To win you must make the best hand out of the cards dealt to you. If you make a Royal Flush you'll win the jackpot, whereas Two of a Kind will likely only bag you a free play.
Vital information… To play video poker you'll need to learn the hand rankings from Two of a Kind all the way up to a Royal Flush. Which is why video poker is an ideal learning environment before you take the plunge and play tournament poker.
How to win big… Unfortunately there aren't any real tried and tested strategies out there to win big at video poker. Just make sure you know all the relative hand rankings and rules and you won't go far wrong.
Above are three great games to get started with for an online casino newbie. Once you have progressed from these you can move on to more complex games like roulette and baccarat.
When you do, hopefully you have a healthy bankroll supplemented from your time playing slots, blackjack and video poker. Good luck!
