5 Most Beautiful Casino Games ☘️ Casino Strategy

Roulette

Roulette is a classic casino game. It attracts people with its traditional design, detailed graphics, and nostalgic format. When you first enter the game, you will be met with a huge red and black wheel with painted numbers ranging upto 36. It is easy to spot the 0, which is painted an iridescent green. The roulette ball is then spun onto the wheel by the dealer, as punters anticipate the outcome before the balls stops. There are a few main elements to bet on:

• Numbers: As we mentioned, there are 36 numbers on the wheel. In Ireland this means 37 segments, whilst in American there are 38 (because of the additional 00). This is called an ‘inside’ bet as it is specific to a number.
• Colours: You can predict whether the ball will stop on a red or black segment
• Parity: You can also predict whether the ball will land on an odd or even number
• Groupings: Instead of betting on a single number, you can opt to choose a grouping. This could be 0-17, 18-36, etc.
• Splitting: betting on two numbers that are adjacent e.g. 8 and 9
• Street: betting on three consecutive numbers
• Corner: betting on four numbers creating a square

Depending on your preferences, there are a variety of different types of roulette.

European Roulette	European roulette has 37 segments from 0-36 and a standard sequence of numbers
American Roulette	American roulette has 38 segments from 00-36 and has a different sequence of numbers
Multi-wheel Roulette	Multi-wheel roulette has upto 8 wheels spinning at once, which means even more anticipation and betting
Mini Roulette	Mini roulette has 13 segments from 0-12, and is therefore less overwhelming than regular roulette

Starburst

Starburst is arguably one of the most popular slot games in the world. Invented in 2012 by NetEnt, it has quickly revolutionised the way we view casino games. Its cosmic theme is reminiscent of older style games, playing on the nostalgia of most punters. Additionally, it is made up of only seven symbols, making it extremely easy to grasp and play.

Starburst has a classic 5×3 grid, and has only 10 paylines. The return to player (RTP) is 96.09% making it extremely profitable, and all you need to do is match the same symbols.

Purple Jewel	3, 4 or 5 per line= 0.5, 1 or 2.5 x
Blue Jewel	3, 4 or 5 per line = 0.5x, 1x or 2.5x
Orange Jewel	3, 4 or 5 per line = 0.7x, 1.5x or 4x
Green Jewel	3, 4 or 5 per line = 0.8x, 2x or 5x
Yellow Jewel	3, 4 or 5 per line = 1x, 2.5x or 6x
Lucky 7	3, 4 or 5 per line = 2.5x, 6x or 12x
Gold Bar	3, 4 or 5 per line = 5x, 20x or 25x

Whilst there may not be much skill that goes into Starburst slot machines, this is ideal for those who prefer the more straightforward casino games. Instead of needing expertise, you simply need to have a basic understanding of the rules in order to play.

Gonzo’s Quest

Gonzo’s Quest is a slot game also released by NetEnt in 2011. It is one of the most beautiful casino games in terms of graphics, sound, and context.

The game is based on Gonzalo Pizzaro, an explorer who is in search of gold in the ancient city of El Dorado. The format is set in the classic 5×3 grid, and has 20 paylines. As soon as you match symbols, they immediately disappear and are replaced with new ones. There are several symbols:

Bird	3, 4 or 5 per line = 3, 10, 50x multiplier
Bull	3, 4 or 5 per line = 4, 15, 75x multiplier
Dragon	3, 4 or 5 per line = 5, 20, 100x multiplier
Purple Mask	3, 4 or 5 per line = 10, 25, 200x multiplier
Gold Mask	3, 4 or 5 per line = 15, 50, 500x multiplier
Green Mask	3, 4 or 5 per line = 20, 100, 1000x multiplier
Blue Mask	3, 4 or 5 per line = 50, 250, 2500x multiplier

There are also two extra symbols:

• Wild: a replacement symbol

Book Of Ra

The Book of Ra is an engaging slot game created by Novomatic, released in 2004. The story is set in the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, where the lost treasure of the Pharaohs lies in the catacombs. Ultimately, it is upto you to uncover it through the power of the slot machine. The return to player (RTP) is 94.26%, and there are 5 reels like 10 paylines. From left to right, you must match at least 3 symbols in order to win. However, there are also other versions such as the Book of Ra Deluxe, with a much more attractive RTP of 99.33%.

The symbols in the Book of Ra include:

• Hieroglyphics: 150x multiplier for five matches
• The statue of Isis: 750x multiplier for five matches
• The scarab beetle: 750x multiplier for five matches
• The Pharoah: 2000x multiplier for five matches
• The explorer: 5000x multiplier for five matches

Also note that the book symbol acts as a wild and scatter card. This means that if you have any matching paylines they will be astronomically multiplied because of this symbol. Other notable features include the gamble option, where you stand the chance to double your winnings if you predict the card correctly.

Texas Hold’em

Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular types of poker to exist. Because of its sentimental format, where players are sat at the table and dealt cards in stages, it makes for a beautiful old classic.

The way to play is easy once you understand the basics.

• Initially players are dealt two cards each which are hidden and placed faced down, and therefore termed hole cards.
• Five community cards are then dealt face up. The dealer gives each player three cards, then one more card, and finally one more card.
• The winner is the player who possesses the five cards with the highest value. At any point, you can forfeit the game by folding.

In comparison, draw poker has no hole cards as all five cards are faced up. It is worthwhile beginning with this type of poker as many punters would state that it is easier. This way, you can strategize and understand the game before advancing onto Texas Hold’em. Another strategy is to play live poker, because you can gain insightful advice from other players who may have more expertise than you. Lastly, it is worthwhile playing free casino games before moving onto placing bets. Hence, you can pick up the rules without the added pressure of losing your bet.

Conclusion

In final, it is safe to say that there are more than just five beautiful casino games. Every person is different; therefore, it is important to play to your strengths and the games which you enjoy the most.

Worthwhile things to note about casino games is their reputation, how they are displayed, their RTP, software, graphics, audio, and story. Whilst some games, like poker and roulette, have been around since the 19^th century, others are innovative and have flashier, more captivating storylines. Either way, there is a range of casinos out there and it is crucial to experiment instead of settling for just one.
