What to Consider Before Choosing an Online Casino Game to Play

Online casinos today have anywhere from 1,000 to 9,000 or more games. Some sites have games from just one software provider, while others have games from 60 to 100 or more.

Most of the games (perhaps 80% or more) you can play at online casinos are computer-generated online slot machines. You can also find computer-generated table & card games, video poker games, lottery, bingo, instant win games (e.g., online scratch cards), speciality games, video poker games, and crash games.

These games rely on sophisticated Random Number Generators (RNGs) to consistently produce fair and realistic results/outcomes and mimic true randomness with no discernible pattern.

In comparison, most live dealer games (apart from the TV game show live dealer games with computer-generated bonus rounds) don’t use RNGs to produce the outcomes.

Therefore, you may first want to consider whether you would prefer to play computer-generated games or cutting-edge live dealer games. Knowing which type of casino you want to play in (computer-generated or live dealer) should make choosing which games to play much easier.

If you decide to play online slot machines, the best thing to do would be to start by looking for a casino with free spins no wagering requirement bonus, or at least one with low/medium wagering requirements attached to the bonus.

Any free spins you receive as part of the welcome bonus can normally be used on selected slots only, so read the terms and conditions to find out which games you can play.

The free spins you receive as part of the welcome bonus can then be used to play those slots in real money without having to spend the money you deposited.

After you have used your welcome bonus free spins, you can use the money you initially deposited to play any of the games at the casino. The good news is that most sites have games to suit all types of players.

I’m a big fan of slots and usually don’t have any difficulty finding something new to play. However, I also can’t help returning to the same old slots I have enjoyed playing for years.

If I get bored of playing the slots and fancy a change, which happens a lot, I head straight to the live dealer casino to play the classics in a real casino environment.

If you want to play the classics, remember to keep an eye out for games like roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, and craps. If you want something quick and easy to play, you might be interested in playing online scratchcards. The type of game I like to play also sometimes depends on my mood.

There are so many other things to consider when choosing slots. For example, before choosing an online slot machine to play, consider the following:

• Does it have a good RTP% (Return to Player) percentage payout rate? The average RTP payout rate in most slots is around 93.00% to 98.00%. Always remember, the higher the RTP% payout rate, the better it is for you, but it also doesn’t always guarantee you will win
• Is it an award-winning online slot? That’s right, today’s bets online slots have won several industry awards
• Which software provider/game development studio made the game? Some players, myself included, enjoy playing slots from certain companies only. You can find this out either by filtering the game by ‘provider’ or by loading the game to see which company made it. For example, some people prefer slots from NetEnt, Games Global, and Blueprint Gaming, whereas others might prefer Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger Gaming, or Play’n GO slots
• What kind of theme does the game have? You may prefer Wild West or Leprechaun-themed slots, whereas others might prefer playing Sports, Horror, or Ancient Greece/Greek mythology-themed slots, and so on

There’s so much more to consider but try not to let things become too overwhelming. For example, do you want a game with a fixed coin or a progressive jackpot, and do you want a game where you can earn more loyalty points per $/€/£1.00 wagered?

According to statistics, around 67.7% of online gamers in 2023 preferred playing games from their smartphone, so if you are one of these people, you want to make sure that the online casino games you want to play can be accessed from your preferred mobile device.

The important thing to remember when choosing which online casino games to play is to have fun choosing them, as I always do when choosing a game to play. Also, perhaps try games you might not have otherwise tried because you may find something new you like.

People’s tastes change over time, too, so although you used to prefer playing slots, you may now prefer playing live dealer roulette, video poker, and so on, which is why you should mix it up every now and then.

I have a core few games that I think I will always enjoy playing, which I save to my favourites, but I also like to explore others to see what else is out there.

Thanks to cloud computing, superfast internet speeds, more efficient web browsers, award-winning providers, better desktop and mobile technology, and amazing streaming capabilities, there are now more games than ever, and it’s a great time to be an online casino player.
