The Online Casino

The first time I came across it, I thought that the Online casino phenomenon was just a passing trend. After some research, it turns out that some have been in operation as far back as the 90’s. I always thought it was a relatively recent phenomenon. How wrong I was, and gladly. Now there are so many different Online casino operators to choose from, each with their own unique perks and features. Each one also has their own promos, incentives, or bonuses to offer their players once they sign up. These usually take the form of no deposit bonuses and free spin bonuses. Free spin bonuses, for example, entitle you to a free spin at an online slot machine of your choice. Among the many Online casino operators are Leo vegas, Casumo.com, Paddypower, Mr Green, and Super Lenny, to name a few. But with the number of Online casino operators appearing today, the beginning online gambler should beware of those operators with unsavory reputation. Such operators who engage in suspicious behavior are typically called rogue casinos by the Online casino playing community.

There are many different options to play in an Online casino. Most of them offer live dealer casino games, where the player is presented with a high quality, live video stream of a dealer in a casino-like environment. These videos are usually taken at an office—often a back office furnished with casino equipment. Live dealer games typically include live versions of card games such as poker, blackjack, and baccarat—each with their own variations. Other forms of live dealer casino games are live roulette, live sic bo, and live keno.

Other forms of Online casino games are online slot machines. There are many different online slot machine games available, and some are modelled after trending shows like Game of Thrones.

Other Online casino games are modelled after the mechanics of popular Android or iOS games that are available in their respective app stores. Such games are created by Online casino developers such as Microgaming, Playtech, BetSoft Gaming, and Net Ent. Examples of these types of games are the following Playtech’s Marvel-themed series of slots based on Iron Man, The Hulk, and Fantastic Four; games by Net Ent such as Gonzo’s Quest, Jack Hammer, and Starburst; BetSoft Gaming’s Good Girl Bad Girl, At the Copa, and True Sheriff; and Microgaming’s Thunderstruck, Avalon, and Mega Moolah.

Besides those, some Online casino operators also provide sportsbetting options on their sites. Examples are SuperLenny and Mr Green.

The legality of the Online casino in many different countries is frequently the subject of debate. While some accept American players, it is considered illegal to play on an Online casino being operated on US soil. Other countries, such as those in the Asian continent, routinely block Online casino websites through domestic Internet Service Providers.

Thankfully, there are many countries that have undertaken to provide homes to Online casino operators. For example, the UK, Australia, the Carribean, and Latin America.
