What are Online Casino Games?
Online casino games are the internet’s version of casino games that are found in “brick and mortar”
offline casinos. Online casino games are often reffered to as “Virtual Casino Games”. Online casino
games can be categorised into three distinct game types: Online Table Games (e.g. Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat),
Online Gaming Machines (e.g. Online Video Slots, Classic Slots and Video Poker)
and Online Random Ticket Games (e.g. Keno and Bingo).
History of Casino Games
One of the oldest forms of casino games that can be traced back in history are card games that originated
in what is now modern day China during the 10th century. The earliest forms of playing cards were in actual
fact paper dominos and the idea of shuffling and dealing also originated at the same time. The first modern
representation of playing cards can be traced back to the Middle East and was introduced into Spain and Italy
during the 13th century. During this time all playing card were hand painted with intricate Muslim designs and
only the very wealthy could afford them. This all changed with the invention of the printing press and by the
late 14th century playing cards were being massed produced. This led to a massive growth in casino games
that continues to this day.
