Most Popular Games at Online Casinos

Online casinos have done a lot for the overall gambling industry. They’ve introduced new people to the world of gambling, and have greatly contributed to the popularity of some lesser known games. Regardless, there are still games that reign on the top. In this article, we are looking at the most popular online casino games.

Slots

There is no denying that slots are at the top. For good reason too, as they are fun, simple, and easy to grasp. Go to any casino online, and you are bound to find different versions of the classic slot game. From classics, to themed, to jackpot, and even progressive, slot games are certainly the most popular online casino game on the current market.

Blackjack

The classic card game’s origins have been debated for a long time. Some believe blackjack originates in the 18th century, while others claim it dates back much further than that. Whatever you think is right, one thing is for sure; blackjack is a classic. With a low house edge and a fun gameplay, the game is a staple of land-based, online, and live casinos.

Roulette

When it comes to table games, we can’t ignore the success that the roulette wheel has enjoyed. The red and the black wheel game decorates casinos worldwide. It is also hugely popular online, whether we are talking about live or digital casinos. There are three primary versions of the game, whose popularity is basically interchangeable; American, European, and French roulette. Though French roulette is likely the most popular one, all three versions of the game get a lot of attention, both online and in land-based casinos.

Craps

Dice have been a part of gambling since the prehistoric era. Archeologists have uncovered sets of bone dice that date to the Paleolithic period, meaning that people have been gambling longer than many believe. So, we have to bring up the most popular dice game at casinos today, craps. The game’s luck-based nature is what makes it so popular. However, it is also famous for its rambunctious tables.

Baccarat

Many will know about baccarat thanks to the success of the James Bond franchise. The creator of the character, Ian Fleming, was a huge baccarat fan, and imbued his world with his love of the game. Today, baccarat is beloved by millions worldwide. It is especially popular in Macau, where baccarat tables outperform even blackjack tables. However, the game also enjoys a huge popularity online, and for good reason.

Honorable Mention: Poker

When discussing the most popular gambling games at online casinos, we would be remiss if we did not bring up poker. However, poker is often considered as a separate game, as there are entire websites dedicated entirely to the game. In fact, many casinos don’t even feature poker, because of certain legal issues and restrictions regarding the type of games that casinos are allowed to feature online. So, poker, despite its massive popularity, must rest in the honorable mentions category. Fitting, seeing as how it doesn’t share a lot in common with its fellow casino games.
