It used to be that if you wanted to play your favorite gambling games like blackjack, slot machines, craps, roulette, baccarat, poker or video poker you had to load up in the car and drive to the nearest casino. Or even get on a plane and fly to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Now you can play all of your favorite games on the Internet without leaving your house.
There are literally thousands of different places to play online spread across a wide range of different software platforms. You have the option of downloading free casino software or many casinos offer browser based or flash versions where you don't have to download anything. You can just open up an Internet window, log in and start playing. There are even options for Mac users now.
Some of the most popular software platforms are Microgaming, Real Time Gaming, Playtech and Rival. Microgaming has the most slot machines available, over three hundred at last count, and the most overall games. They also have the most operators using their software. Real Time Gaming, or RTG, is one of the oldest casino software companies and is also used by a wide range of online operators. Playtech and Rival both offer great graphics and solid game play. Rival is fairly new to the Internet world compared to the other companies mentioned here, and Playtech has been around for years.
Most of these online businesses have separate casinos and poker rooms. While they may be provided by the same software company, they are actually different platforms. There are also many stand alone poker rooms available on the Internet.
Every online gambling establishment I have ever visited will let you play most of their games for free. All you usually have to do is sign up for a free account. Of course most of them also hope you will play their games for real money. Before you do, make sure it is legal to play online wherever you live.
