Some casino games are in the casino section and others are in the games section.

When we at onlinecasino.ie talk of casino games we are using it as a generic term to cover any game you might play at an online casino but when some of the online casinos that we feature refer to games they seem to be talking about something different. Paddy Power for example which is one of the best online casinos serving the Irish market has a casino tab and a games tab in addition to tabs for Poker, Lotteries and Bingo. We should add that we are in no way being critical of Paddy Power, we are merely using them as a typical example but with all those tabs we wondered what games are in their eyes. Obviously you would expect to find Roulette and Blackjack and a host of slots and video games  in the casino section and indeed you will but when you get into the games section you find names such as “caught offside” or “Blankety Blank” which sound interesting but further investigation reveals them to be nothing more than video slots. We were interested to find 3 card brag in this section as we have as recently as Monday done a feature of the game explaining that it is a game played against other players in a similar way to poker so we were disappointed to find out that this game is played against the dealer who needs a minimum qualifying hand and there is no opportunity to change cards which means it becomes virtually a form of three card poker. Other games found in the section include Punto Banco, Baccarat and Craps all of which we would expect to find in the casino section but there was one true game we came across which is a bit different and this is called “Shut the Box” which is well worth a try. All of these are available at Paddy Power on the instant casino, so no need to download.
