The free online casino feature helps us to experience new casino games

The history of online gambling is clearly quite recent and has reached its current level in less than twenty years since the leading bookmakers set up the first online sports gambling sites. The success of these first sports gambling sites led first to an expansion in the range sports and sporting events we could follow, and then to the introduction of a number of games and the creation of the first online casinos. When the bookmakers first decided that they needed to maximise the returns on their investment in the technology and software which was necessary to enable online gambling, the idea of adding a few games may have seemed a bit of a gamble at the time but has in the end created a whole new online gambling sector. Having seen how successful the idea of playing casino games online was proving, these first online casino sites expanded rapidly and were adding new games almost every week. Nowadays we would expect to find anywhere between a hundred and two hundred different casino games at any of these big online gambling sites, plus there are now also a number of specialist online casino sites which concentrate solely on providing the best range of casino games they can offer. The common factor for all these online casinos is that the majority of the casino games they feature are slots games in various forms, and many observers believe that it is the huge number and variety of these slots games which has attracted most of the new players to the idea of playing casino games online. That may or may not be true, but here at onlinecasino.ie we like to encourage new online casino customers to try a whole range of games including the traditional casino games found in our real casinos and in casinos abroad. We have tried to help all new casino games players feel comfortable playing these games by detailing the rules of these games here on our individual casino games pages, but it is the online casinos themselves who have done most to help us in that aim by introducing the free online casino feature. This is one of many features that the online casinos have been able to introduce because of their very low overheads, and in our opinion may be the most welcome. Clearly none of our real casinos could afford to allow their customers to play their casino games free of charge, even for a short period, neither for that matter could the bingo clubs or the slot machine arcades. They all have much bigger overheads than the online casino sites because of the costs of buying and maintaining a building and of course employing staff. All the online casino sites now offer a free online casino option on most of their casino games, and although some of the more traditional casino games are obviously more complicated than many of the other games on these sites the option is often available for even the simplest slots games. To be fair some of the slots games we can now play online are also fairly complicated and many players say they need a few free spins before they feel happy playing with real money.

Clearly the free online casino option is a welcome feature across the whole range of casino games we can play at an online casino, but these online casinos have also given us the opportunity to play a number of traditional casino games which have never been available in our own casinos here in Ireland, and it is here that the free play option is most useful. The online casinos have appealed to a wide cross section of games players, from bingo fans to regular casino visitors, but very few of them have had the chance to play traditional casino games such as baccarat and backgammon. These two casino games have been popular in European casinos for years, but have never been available in our casinos here in Ireland and are therefore new to most of us. The same applies to the game of craps, which again has never featured in any of our casinos in spite of being one of the most popular casino games in every American casino. All of these traditional casino games are now available at almost every online casino site, but because we have never had the chance to play them regularly some of them have gained an unwarranted reputation as being difficult to play. Certainly the game of Backgammon does require a little experience in how best to move the checkers around the board, but the game of baccarat could not be easier, particularly when played at an online casino. Partly through the way it has been featured in films involving scenes from a casino, baccarat is a casino game which has definitely acquired an unfounded reputation as a complicated games played only by high rollers. The rules of baccarat are indeed a little complicated but players do not actually need to know the rules unless they want to learn to be a dealer. The whole game is controlled by the dealer and there are only three possible outcomes from each hand, and one of those a tie is so unusual that it is rarely backed. The player simply has to choose whether the dealer’s hand will win or the player’s hand. As far as the game of craps is concerned, anyone who enjoys playing roulette will quickly take to craps. It is played with two dice on a table very similar in layout to a roulette table, and marked with almost every possible combination of numbers which could be achieved with two dice. Players can back as many of those combinations as they wish, and like roulette the free play option helps players find their way round the table graphics.

Any discussion about the value of the free online casino option and the casino games where it is most beneficial has got to include the game of poker. All the online casinos offer the full range of poker games and the free play option is a great way to learn any of them before playing for real.
