In 1960s, US government gave funds to research projects of its military agencies for the building of such computer systems which can withstand changes, faults and are connected to each other. This international network was commercialized in the middle of 1990’s and now, by 2009, this service is being used by almost a quarter of earth’s total population. This service, called “Internet” became the pathway for casinos to come to the reach of millions of people who always wished to play in casinos but due to geographical distances, always stayed away from this gambling pleasure. With the passing years, these online casinos have become more preferable than real world casinos as they offer more security and integrity. Also, since these casinos are available on the internet, a layman cannot even think to cheat you even if he has strong gambling skills. For cheating on internet, one would need to have strong technical skills to understand the software on which gambling is done. These software’s also include some policies and rules which a person before playing should always go through. Depending upon the policies of such software’s, online casinos can be divided into following categories:
Web-Based-Casinos: As the name itself suggests, web-based-casinos are the casinos available on the internet. To play games on such casinos, one can simply browse for online casinos in the browser bar, upon finding one, can straightaway play on that website. In addition, these website also provide graphics and sounds to make it more interesting for the player to gamble.
Download-Based-Casinos: In the download-based-casinos, one has to download the game software first. After it is done, the software connects itself to the service provide for various transactions. Also, all the drivers needed to run the game, get downloaded with the gaming software itself. This is the main reason why these games run faster than the web-based-casinos. However, there is one drawback of these types of casinos which is that while downloading the software, sometimes, some Trojans also get downloaded.
Live-Casinos: Here the word “live” describes the type of casino itself. These are truly a kind of real world casinos where the player is in direct touch with the other player. You can interact with the player, hear him and even see him.
In case, if one is a first time player on any online casino gaming website, he gets assigned with a “sign up bonus”. This kind of bonus is given the players to attract more players; however, there is also a strategy behind it. Such kind of bonus, in case if cash bonus, can be only cashed out if one becomes registers him with the website with a minimum deposit amount, otherwise there is a non-cash-able bonus called “Sticky bonus” which cannot be cashed out at all.
There is one more thing which a person a person should always keep in vie before playing which is checking the authenticity of the organization. Keep a check on the payment options whether they are providing you with the draft, or money transfer or whatever the case may be. It also happens sometimes that the looser denies to payback the amount. Such scenarios such be talked about with the casino before playing. As the gaming rules suggest “A game is not about playing with player only, it’s about playing with the mind of opponent, that too intelligently”.
