If you have never tried Backgammon but fancy yourself as a bit of a strategist and a thinker then you should take a keener interest. The game of Backgammon has been around for a very long time and by that we mean several thousand years which is probably why it is still so popular in Middle Eastern countries. The game of backgammon is in principle very simple as there are 15 checkers for each player, two dice and a playing board showing the 24 positions that the checkers may occupy. It is a game for two players which means that in an online casino it will be played head to head against other players and not against the casino itself; this in itself can make it an attractive proposition. Games can be played for various stakes from quite small to very large but always remember that as in poker or Brag there are opportunities for raising the stakes which means you may win or lose more than the initial game stake. As with all games involving throwing dice, luck will play a part in the outcome but skill, strategy and experience are very valuable which is why you will find the casino game in the “skill games” section or the equivalent for that online casino. Nearly all of the online casinos that we offer have the game but our advice is to keep your stakes low while you are learning the game and gradually increase as you become more familiar and more confident.
