Backgammon is an exciting online casino game

The online casinos have provided us with the opportunity to play a large number of casino games which were not generally available to us before they were introduced. It is therefore a little disappointing when the online casino operators tell us that the majority of their customers prefer to play the slots games as opposed to the more traditional casino games. It is easy to understand why new casino games players may start by playing the slots games because they require no knowledge or experience to play, but we would hope that they would also enjoy learning new casino games. Even those of us who started playing casino games at a real casino rarely had the opportunity to play traditional casino games such as Backgammon and have therefore had to learn how to play the game. Unfortunately Backgammon is one of those traditional casino games which has undeservedly acquired a reputation as being difficult to learn and the preserve of high rollers. In fact the rules of Backgammon are relatively easy and we have detailed them in our casino games pages, it is however a game which requires a little thought. Backgammon is played on a Backgammon board on which the players move 15 checkers with the number of moves defined by the throw of two dice. Clearly the fact that dice are used to define how many moves each player has means that there is an element of luck involved, but it is also true that an experienced player is likely to be able to use those moves more effectively and therefore has an advantage over a beginner, but that is also why the game is so interesting and exciting. Anyone who enjoys playing poker, another casino game where experience is likely to provide an advantage, will almost certainly enjoy Backgammon. All we would say is that you should keep the stake low while you learn the game.
