Which Casino Games to Start with For an Experienced Gamer?

Online casinos can often work as a segue into the wider world of gaming for those who are new to it. After all, even if someone has never played a game like Halo or Dark Souls, they might have played a few rounds of slots on a machine at one time or another.

However, coming at it from the other direction, what if you wanted to visit these kinds of places as someone who has only played other games? In that case, the type of game that you’re drawn to will likely be affected by your previous taste.

Short-Form Games

This transition might be a natural fit for you if you’re already someone who enjoys short-form games. This doesn’t mean that the total game time of the titles you enjoy is brief, but more that you enjoy games like rogue-lites (or rogue likes) which feature repeating, short gameplay loops that can be completed in one sitting. The Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, FTL, Balatro – all of these count, even though the length of any given ‘run’ can vary dramatically from game to game.

If that sounds like a good match to you, when you visit an online casino, you’ll heave a wealth of options. From roulette to the myriad of slot games like Starburst slot, knowing that you don’t have to commit any great length of time to a game can help you to feel more confident in trying it.

Card Games

Of those games that were mentioned before, two of them are also card games. Card games, also being video games might not be anything new – the Witcher 3 famously had a massively popular card game within it called Gwent – it’s not something that’s always been as recognised as its own genre as it is today.

Of course, if you’re visiting an online casino, you’re going to have quite a lot of options as far as card games as concerned. More than having a lot of choice, however, you also have games that are arguably the progenitor of all card games to have come since. Blackjack and poker are both very popular in their own right, and each feature very different styles of playing. Naturally, if Balatro is a game that you enjoy, poker will likely be a first port of call.

RPG Elements?

Looking at the games available through an online casino, you might feel as though there is nothing for lovers of massive, sprawling role-playing games. However, the digital world is one that has been transformative for the kinds of experiences you might typically think would be housed here. While the core games are much intact, there are any number of variables to mix them up. As mentioned before, slot games are something that are very flexible by nature, and one of the more modern twists on them is the inclusion of RPG elements to add a layer of story or immersion to them. This can help to provide a frame for the game itself that might make it more compelling to you.
