Do you remember playing Monopoly or Cluedo when you were younger. Okay, so Monopoly is not necessarily a kids game but most casinos now have online games that are based on some of those classics. If it’s not kids games, it TV shows like Deal or No Deal or perhaps virtual sports like virtual golf, virtual horse racing, virtual dogs and the All Stars Football.

Online casinos are no longer just about roulette, blackjack or poker. They are not about simple slots either with some of the latest including 15 reels, up to 45 lines, free spins, bonuses and jackpots running into hundreds of thousands of pounds.

It’s the online games that catch the attention of many punters. Based on the old fashioned slots, winning a bonus now is not about getting a free spin, it actually goes into a video gaming mode where skill can sometimes determine an outcome – not just luck.

Online games also include offline favourites like scratch cards. These are played exactly the same as an offline game, the only difference being it is all online, and you don’t need a coin to scratch your tickets – the program provides a virtual coin.

Another favourite where skill really is to the fore is in games like backgammon. Yes, you can play backgammon either for free or for money against live players – not virtual players. This form of gambling is becoming popular since skill is the determining factor, not luck. Good backgammon players can win well at this online game.

If you’re into games then why not join the tens of thousands of other players who enjoy an afternoon or evening of online games.
