The most popular casino games to play in 2022

Entertainment online has quickly become the go-to option for people looking to relax, have fun or simply spend time while waiting for something. One of the most popular sections in online entertainment is gambling, and more specifically playing at different casinos on the internet. Here, we will look at the most popular casino games in the UK in 2022.

Slots

Slot machines, or fruit machines as they are sometimes called in the UK, are one of the most classic casino games that everyone know of. This type of game is also called one-armed bandits since the machine has a mechanical lever on the side, and the fact that it has the potential to “rob” players of a lot of money if the players get carried away by the game. 

However, nowadays the fruit machines have been mostly replaced by slots online on various online casino websites. It’s safe to say that every online casino in the UK and abroad offers video slots, with high graphics and varying themes. These themes may range from the classic style with berries, fruits, bells, and the number seven, to modern themes like horror, sports, movies or TV shows.

Roulette

Roulette is another classic casino game that has been around for a long time. Roulette, meaning little wheel in French, is a game of betting, where the croupier spins the wheel in one direction and then spins a tiny ball in the opposite direction. Players that have made the right bets get the winnings. The game is easy to play and doesn’t require any learning. 

Craps

In the casino game called craps, two dice are involved and players bet on the outcomes. The rules may seem complicated at first with lots of different numbers, but once you get to know the concept it becomes easier. There are plenty of tutorials online, both in text and video, for people that are interested in learning how to play craps.

Blackjack

No casino experience is complete without the option to play a game of Blackjack. Blackjack requires some skill from the player, but the game is quite easy to learn with a mix of strategy and luck. It’s a fast-paced card game that can provide a lot of excitement for players that are into this type of casino game, making it a popular choice. Blackjack is also called twenty-one, since the goal is to either have two cards equal 21, or have a final card count higher than the dealer’s (but no higher than 21) – or by having the dealer exceed their card count of 21. 

Baccarat

Lastly, we want to include the card game called Baccarat in the list. This is another popular casino game based on guessing, where players bet on either the banker’s hand or the player’s hand. There’s also a third option which is to bet on a tie. The hand that has the highest points wins and hence, there’s no skill involved but simply luck. 

Simply put, different players prefer different types of games, whether they’re relaxing, fast-paced, based purely on luck or requires some thought. Online casinos are continuously developing new and upgraded versions of classic games in order to compete on the growing gambling market. Whatever the preference might be, it’s important to play responsibly and seek help in case of gambling addiction.
