Choosing an online casino is an interesting and responsible experience that absolutely every player goes through, and the main fact of choice is often the number of games, lotteries, and slots. Casino administrators try to attract as many players as possible. There are often generous bonus rewards, as well as quality service and a lot of ways to withdraw the money won. Below we look at the basic criteria for choosing a casino by the number of games.Â
Main Types of Games
There is simply no generally accepted list of games for online casinos. Each casino owner independently determines what modes will be on the service. However, it is possible to highlight the most common game modes:
- Slot machines. The slot machines built on a system of random number generators mean that the winnings do not depend on the number of bets and bonuses but on RTP – return to the player.
- Card games. This category includes all known blackjack, poker, and baccarat.Â
- Table games. There are live games, such as craps, backgammon, and monopoly.
- Roulettes. These modes are divided according to the countries in which they were invented, such as French, American, and European.
- Scratch cards. Perhaps this is the most beloved kind of entertainment for fans of paper lotteries.Â
All of the above games are categorized as free casino games because there are modes in these games for real money and game currency that allows you to “try out” a new game before playing for money.Â
Slot Machines
The point of playing slot machines is to collect a winning combination of numbers, items, or bonuses. The more successful the combination is, the bigger the winnings will be. Such machines keep most of the casino’s profits. Let’s analyze the types of slot machines and their characteristics in the table below:Â
Mechanical | Classic machines, which also used to be presented with a large mechanical lever. Such a machine contains three standard reels with classic signs on them.  |
Semi-mechanical | They looked like the usual mechanical ones, but were equipped with a computer, which guided the machine in selecting the chance of winning. New features were added to such machines, such as: point collection, bonus and rating system, as well as the ability to purchase additional extensions. |
Video slots | New generation machines where the reel is removed and video is broadcast instead. In addition, the machines with 5 to 9 reels, which are combined with different modes, can be found here instead of the standard three reels. A big bonus of these slots include multibonus and bankroll games. |
Progressive | These slots are not based on a random number generator, and the system calculates the percentage winnings based on the facts of the bet amount, the number of games and the selected mode. |
All of these slots are designed in online casinos and are publicly available, you can play them both for real money and for game currency.

It is easy to explain the popularity of game slots because they are designed to attract attention with their bright picture, loud sounds of spinning the reel and picking up the winnings, as well as bright lights. The whole picture helps to get pleasure and relieve stress.Â
Card Games
Card games are classics that will probably never get old, as you can play them both online and offline. Moreover, the choice of location does not change the excitement of the game, and the chances of winning are still the highest among other modes of casino games. Players choose card games due to the fact that in addition to gaining income, which depends on the skills of the game rather than luck, they also develop logical thinking and the ability to analyze objectively. In addition, cards are a simple thing that has hardly changed in all the years of their existence. Read more about the history of cards here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_game. In addition to standard poker and blackjack, pai gow poker, craps, and Caribbean Stud are now gaining popularity. Also, card games can be found in a live format with a dealer, which contributes to a full immersion in a gambling environment.Â
Table GamesÂ
This is truly one of the most exciting modes in online casinos, as everything takes place in a live format where the dealer is present and promotes fair play. In this mode, you can test your skills and luck in such modes as backgammon, Grand Azar, and even Monopoly. You can also try to fight with a player from the hall face-to-face and win a large sum of money.Â
According to research, such live modes give the most pleasure because when a player sees the bets of other players and communicates with the dealer, he satisfies his need for communication and interesting leisure.Â
Other Modes
As previously stated, modes can vary depending on the desire of the casino owner. National games or bets on different sports can be added, and even exclusive games for a specific online casino can be released. Such modes include cyber sports simulators, adventure games, darts, and even archery.
However, it’s worth noting that some of the additional modes may be protected by an age restriction and be available only to people who are 21 years of age or older.Â
Conclusion
Since the owners of online casinos carefully select gaming content, dividing it into categories and subcategories, the novice gambler will have to thoroughly review the content of the service before finally deciding on the choice of an online casino. Thanks to such a variety of choices, each player, regardless of his preferences, can find something to his liking, relax and even win a good amount of money. However, you should not forget about the principles of responsible gaming in order not to lose all your savings and quietly enjoy your leisure pastime.Â
