Top Online Casino Games

What do you want to see in a good online casino? Games are one of the key features, of course, but they can be divided into various categories. So, which categories are most important when you're searching for the top online casino games to play?

We've covered them all here for you, so you can immediately see whether any casino you've found has the games you want.

Slots (or pokies if you're in Australia)

No self-respecting casino would be without slot games. Some casinos base their offering around these alone, and since they're by far the most popular game, that is understandable.

A good casino should have games based on three reels - the classic format, if you will - and video slots based on five reels. Some might also have a few six-reel games or even a handful with four reels. The bigger the collection, the more likely it is you'll see these options as well.

Ideally, we like to see a casino offering games from two or more sources. The more the merrier? Yes, but it gives you a lot more diversity and a bigger range of themes and ideas too.

Table games

This category covers lots of different online casino games, so it naturally provides plenty of variety. The basics should cover blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, but there are other options too.

For example, you might see Let It Ride, War, craps, Caribbean Stud Poker, and a few other versions of poker.

Some casinos also offer multiple versions of blackjack and roulette. There are differences depending on where in the world the game comes from. For example, you can see American roulette, European roulette, and so on.

Video poker

If you don't quite feel ready to play any live poker games just yet, look out for a casino offering video poker too. This version of the game isn't live, and it has similarities with a slot game. It's closer to poker, but it's easier to understand than the real thing.

Certainly, it does give you a chance to enjoy a learning experience. Newcomers to poker should head for the video poker options first. You can often find casinos providing access to demo versions of their games in this category and in others too.

Specialty games

This is a catch-all title, as the games you'll find in this category vary depending on the site you are visiting. Some sites with few table games might include one or two of those in this category, for example.

You'll typically find games that do not readily fit in other categories though. RTG casinos are a good example of how diverse those games can be. Look out for Fish Catch, which offers an experience closely related to that title. They've also got a game called Banana Jones that is reminiscent of a snakes and ladders board game. It does have similarities to slots, but it wouldn't sit well in that category.

Find a casino offering these options and you're in a good place

Of course, you should still check and confirm you're happy with their terms and conditions and that they are properly registered and licensed. However, finding a casino with a diverse collection of games does mean you have lots to look forward to.
