Different Types of Online Casinos

Thanks to the revolution in computer technology, people don't need to go to a real casino anymore to enjoy their favorite casino games. Online casinos essentially offer online versions of various popular casino games. Online casinos have become very popular because of the ease of playing they offer. They also offer attractive bonuses to players.

There are three basic types of online casinos:

1. Web-Based Online Casinos: Web-based casinos do not require people to download or install any software. All you need are a web browser and an Internet connection on your computer. You can just play the game on the website. All you need to do is log in to the website. Usually software such as Java or Flash is used in these websites. The only drawback is the need for sufficient bandwidth to load the graphics. Playing web-based casino games may be slow as the websites take time to load all the sounds and graphics.

Web-based online casinos are useful for people who do not have enough storage space on the hard disk of their computers to install casino gaming software.


2. Download-Based Online Casinos: A download-based online casino requires you to download and install software on your computer, unlike the web-based online casino. You should have the software on your computer to be able to play the games.

The download and installation of the software may take some time; however, once the software is installed, you can play games at a faster speed as compared to web-based online games. You must exercise caution while downloading the software. Download it only from a reputable source because websites can easily attach malware or viruses with the downloaded files. Some websites, these days, offer both web-based and download- based versions, and you can select whichever one you prefer.


3. Live-Based Casinos: The environment provided by a live-based casino is very similar to a real live casino. As a player, you can interact with dealers and other players at the table using the online chat feature or webcam. These casinos provide you with all the thrill and excitement of playing in a real casino right at your home; however, such online casinos are still rare and difficult to come by.


All versions of the online casino let you play ample number of online casino games from the comforts of your own home.
