Internet casinos are one of the biggest success stories of the web in the past decade. The opportunity to play all of the most popular casino games from the comfort of your own home for real money has proved irresistible for millions of people worldwide. Fortunes and dreams can now be won and lost from the comfort of home. This is a look at the most popular online casino games.

Texas Poker is the most widely played and popular card game in the world. The aim is to collect cards that match together to produce scores such as sequences of numbers in the same suit or sets of the same card in different suits with the highest scoring player winning. The game is won and lost in assessing the risk and benefits of gambling and staying in the game.

Blackjack is a game that has been played in casinos for decades and remains so online. Players will choose whether to twist or stick as they try to get the value of their cards as close to twenty one as they can without going over it. It's simplicity and flexibility only adds to the tension when played through the internet as fortunes are won and lost.

Roulette is the iconic casino game famous from James Bond movies where a ball is thrown onto a spinning wheel and players can gamble on the number or color of the slot that the ball will land in. The ability to make both fairly safe 50/50 bets as well as wild and extravagant ones has made this game an enduringly popular addition to casinos both on and offline.

Slot machines are direct descendants of one armed bandits. Sometimes known as fruit machines, players spin usually three wheels and are rewarded if the symbols on the wheels all match together. Modern games often contain various tests of skill and timing for bonuses alongside the conventional matching element to add a more interactive direction to the game.

As the internet has grown as a marketplace and money is easily, quickly and above all safely online, gambling has as always followed the money and many online casinos have now been established for many years as successful businesses in their own right allowing people to play all of their favorite casino games from the comfort of their own living room.

It seems as though online casino games are here to stay. They will probably not be a threat to real life casinos as the gaming experience is totally different and they cannot recreate the glamour or mystique of the real thing, but for many they are the next best thing.
