Whether you go to a land-based or to an online casino you always want to make sure that you will not be tricked by a dishonest dealer. Of course casinos double and triple check all their employees but one of really good ways to ensure that you are not fooled is casino video games. Some of the most popular ones are slots, blackjack and poker. A funny thing is that when in the early 1980s video gaming devices just appeared, many managers thought that video blackjack would be hit and video poker would struggle some real difficulties but what really happened was exactly the opposite.

Soon video poker was one of the hottest innovations in the industry. The reason to that was quite simple: while video poker odds stayed almost the same, video blackjack games paid even money and not 3-2 that one can get at the table.

Nevertheless, video blackjack is still out there, it has survived and found a special niche where people bet as much as they get but can practice their counting skills without any extra risks. As for the video poker it is probably the easiest variation of poker where the player discards and draws new cards only ones. Video poker is so simple that some people even compare it to video slot games.

And the greatest thing about all of the video games is that today, in the era of free online casino games you can try all of them, not even leaving your house and home.
