Gambling has been a popular form of entertainment for ages. It may be the thrill of taking a risk or the chance to break the bank, nobody really knows – but the fact remains: thousands take a trip to the nearby Tachi Palace or take a plane to Sin City itself to indulge in a game of chance, and millions visit Spin Casino online each day to do the same from the comfort of their homes. But not all games of chance are created equal. Some of them are only loved because of the allure of a big win. Others, in turn, stay entertaining even when there’s no money involved – these are the casino games that you can play for fun.
Craps
If you’ve never been to a brick-and-mortar casino, you probably don’t understand why craps are such a fun game to play. That’s probably because it’s a pretty boring game if you play it on your own. But when you play it surrounded by a crowd, it suddenly becomes a source of endless fun.
Unlike most other table games where all the work is done by the dealers, in craps, the players do the work themselves. And unlike most other games where loud noises are frowned upon, in craps, cheering is encouraged.
One of the players around the table is designated the shooter – the person who throws the dice – while those around the table (bystanders, lookers-on or people wagering on the throws) encourage them, cheer for them, and have the time of their lives.
Slot machines
Slot machines are perhaps the most controversial casino games. They are simple, repetitive, and boring for some but a true passion for others. They are also the most versatile game format ever – there are slots with every theme you can imagine, from shoes and cats to cars and movies. And many of them are a lot of fun to play.
In brick-and-mortar casinos, you’ll encounter slot machines that use multiple displays to expand the players’ experience. Online slots, in turn, have the freedom to experiment with formats, mechanics, and themes. As a result, among the thousands of video slot machines, there are many that are a ton of fun to play.
Blackjack
Finally, here’s a game that has been around for centuries and is slowly becoming the staple of the gambling business: blackjack. It is one of the few casino games where the players can make decisions that influence the outcome of a hand. And it’s not card counting: it’s basic strategy, knowing the odds, and playing the right way at the right time.
Blackjack is one of the few casino games that can keep its players engaged even when there are no real money stakes involved. The fact that you have the possibility to beat the dealer not just by luck but also by outwitting the house – thus overcoming the odds that are, by design, against you – make this game a crowd-pleaser.
Blackjack has become a true success story over the last few years. The specialists studying the casino goers’ gaming habits have found that it is generational. As the public at brick-and-mortar casinos is changing, so do their preferences at the gaming tables. Older generations were especially fond of slot machines – penny slots, mostly – and when it came to table games, they mostly went for roulette, the most recognizable casino game of them all. Younger generations – those who grew up with gaming consoles and personal computers – are, in turn, no longer content with these “passive” games. They prefer games they can be actively involved in, games like blackjack. Today, blackjack generates almost a fifth of all the revenue of Nevada casinos, and this percentage seems to be growing. At the same time, blackjack keeps growing at online casinos as well.
