When it comes to online casinos, casino games play a very important role. It’s no wonder, since you want to try your hand at a variety of games—and ideally win a little money.
We explain which casino games you typically find at different providers, the role licenses play in this, and what differences you should watch out for. Plus, we’ll give you some tips about playing at 22Bet.
What Games Can You Find in an Online Casino?
It seems like a simple question—but is it? To understand what games are offered in an online casino, it’s important to know: a casino is not just a casino.
It mostly depends on the license the casino you opened an account with possesses and where you want to play.
Game Categories in Detail
Now, let’s present some game categories in a little more detail.
Slots
Slots are by far the most popular game category—even in foreign online casinos. You often have access to several thousand titles from various manufacturers and different thematic areas.
Book of Ra by Novomatic or Book of Dead by Play’n GO are two of the most popular slots around. Other favorites include Starburst by NetEnt, Wolf Gold by Pragmatic Play, and Bonanza by Big Time Gaming.
Many of these games—at least in foreign casinos—are also available in demo versions. For this, you don’t need real money and can use play money instead. Once your balance runs out, you can reload it simply by refreshing the page.
Card and Table Games
Classics like blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and poker are very popular in online casinos. For these games, you need to differentiate between RNG versions and live variants. The RNG versions are computer-controlled and, like slots, operate with a Random Number Generator (RNG).
In live versions, real dealers and croupiers run the game. They deal the cards, place bets in roulette, or switch the card deck in blackjack.
Live games are broadcast as a live stream with sound, allowing you to engage in a chat with dealers and croupiers. Live games offer the best of both worlds: the independence of an online casino and the unique atmosphere of a real gaming table.
Keno, Bingo, and Scratch Cards
These are also casino games that you won’t find in a German casino. They are instant games that fundamentally differ from slots, card games, table games, or live games.
What Should You Consider When Playing Casino Games?
There are several things to keep in mind while playing. Here’s a list of tips that can contribute to a relaxed and responsible gaming experience:
– Particularly with slots, read the instructions to understand how the game works, what bonus rounds exist, and what the individual symbols are worth, etc.
– Use free play money versions, when available, to “train” for real money bets.
– Only wager money that you can afford to lose without getting into trouble and without risking your everyday expenses.
– Keep in mind that slots are based on luck. While skills also play a role in games like online poker or blackjack, no strategy guarantees a win.
– Still, develop a sensible strategy to at least increase your chances of winning. Look for an online casino with high payout chances.
– Take breaks from playing to relax and recharge.
– If you’re on a winning streak, don’t get greedy; take your winnings sometimes.
– During a losing streak, don’t chase your losses in an attempt to “get back” what you lost. This usually backfires.
