With the explosion of online and mobile betting over the last couple of decades, there have never been more types of casino games to play. Although the mainstays like Poker and Roulette are still as popular as ever, there are many other types of casino games out there to try out.
Below are some of the best new casino games to try next.
Slots
Slots are an incredibly popular game type for online casino players and there’s more choice now than ever. Although most slots work in a similar way, there are a huge variety of game types to choose from, with many themed slots depending on the time of year and what events are currently going on.
Right now, there are a lot of Christmas-themed slots available on the various online casinos. There are also plenty of World Cup-themed slots, with the Qatar World Cup on going at the time of writing.
Slots can be played either online on popular, trusted sites like Powerplay casino or on mobile via apps. They have an advantage for players who are new to online casinos since they’re very easy to understand and play, even if they can be tricky to master.
Blackjack
Blackjack is a classic casino card game and can now be played online at pretty much every online casino. Most people have played Blackjack at some point in their life, even if they don’t know it by that name.
It’s a very simple card game where you simply draw cards that come as close to 21 without exceeding it. It’s a very easy game to learn and play, which makes it a good choice for new players. However, it’s also possible to develop strategies for playing over time and some players can make significant money from it.
Keno
If you don’t want to play a table or slots game, then Keno could be right up your alley. Keno is a lottery-style casino game where you bet by choosing a set of numbers from 1-80. After you’ve picked your numbers, a certain amount are chosen at random (usually 20 but this can vary) and the amount you win will depend on how many you have that match. It’s not dissimilar to bingo in this way.
You can play Keno on most online casino websites or by mobile app. It’s a quick and fun game to play and the prizes can be significant.
Sic Bo
Sic Bo is a relatively simple dice game that originated in China. It’s since become big in casinos and online casinos. Sic Bo doesn’t really require skill or strategy and instead is based purely on luck. 3 dice are rolled and if you bet on the correct number on each dice; or what the total number of the three dice add up to you – you win!
The Sic Bo table looks complicated but it’s actually fairly simple to understand. The different number combinations shown on the dominos correspond to the types of bets you can place. They also show the odds and what payout you’ll receive depending on how much you bet.
Sic Bo can be played at most online casinos and through mobile apps and is a great alternative to games like roulette or craps.
Video poker
Unlike traditional or online poker, video poker is played much like a slot machine. It’s usually based on the five-card draw variant of the game, which makes it easy for people to get to grips with compared to more complicated versions of the game.
You can play video poker on many different sites and apps, with some offering significant prizes when you win. Video poker is different from online poker in that you don’t play against other real opponents; instead your hand is played against the hand of the computer and whichever is strongest, wins.
Casino Hold ‘Em
Casino Hold ‘Em is a relatively new casino game that was first introduced in 2000. Since then it’s become big in casinos around the world as well as being found on many online casinos.
Just like in video poker, in casino hold ‘em, you play the house rather than other players. It’s played much like the standard Texas hold ‘em, except when you win by having a stronger hand than the house, you don’t just win a set amount but can win more depending on how rare your hand is.
Casino hold ‘em is a great way to familiarise yourself with the rules of poker if you’ve never played before and can be played at many online casinos and on mobile apps.
