ONLINE CASINO TABLE GAMES

Some traditional players may argue that playing casino card games online simply isn’t as great as playing the real thing, but we beg to differ. Live Casinos have truly taken casino gaming to the next level, with live studios so immersive you could almost hear the cheers of all the lucky winners.

Now we get it, live gaming isn’t for everyone. Sitting across a live dealer and giving up virtual chips can be a little intimidating. But what if we told you that you can still enjoy the same swanky music, timeless gameplay and cutting-edge technology without a live dealer at all? Casino games have truly come a long way.

With this article, we will unravel the mysteries behind casino table games and give you a little sneak peek into some of the best casino card games and table games from our personal collection.

WHAT ARE ONLINE CASINO TABLE GAMES?

If we had to give you a very basic definition of a table game, it is a game played at a table. Online table games, therefore, are tabletop games played online. So, instead of sitting among fellow punters and watching the dealer hand out cards, you’re sitting at home, watching a computer do everything for you (it’s a lot more fun than it sounds, trust us).

But wait, what’s the difference between online table games and live games? We’re glad you asked. Let’s break it down.

TABLE GAMES VS LIVE DEALER GAMES

Playing online against an algorithm is a lot different than playing live baccarat games, live poker tables and live roulette variants.

Live casinos are the closest you’re ever going to get to the real thing. They come with real-life dealers that you can interact with (and they with you), sleek studio designs to match the land-based ones in Las Vegas, and HD live streaming. Some Live Casino games even offer multiple camera angles, like in Immersive Roulette. In short, everything about a Live Casino is real, from the cards the dealers shuffle down to the casino floor — the only difference is you’re not actually there, but pretty close.

Online tables, though, are pretty different. There are no live dealers, no sleek live studio designs and practically no interaction at all. Instead, you watch a computer shuffle cards and spin wheels, so the overall experience is not as authentic as playing live, which is why many players develop a sort of love-hate relationship with online table games.

They’re clearly not as immersive, so why play them at all? Some players may not want to have to deal with all the interaction that comes with Live Casinos. Online casino table games are also great for learning the ropes and getting accustomed to the general gameplay. The downside is that players may not find as many high-tech features and side bets as in Live Casino games. So, when it comes to deciding whether to play online or live, it all comes down to personal preference.

BEST ONLINE TABLE GAMES

As we mentioned above, there are both pros and cons to playing casino table games online. Before you make any final decisions, allow us to take you through some of the most popular table games you’ll come across:

First Person Lightning Roulette

Submerge yourself into this phenomenal 3D world by Evolution. First Person Lightning Roulette is a next-level roulette table that puts typical roulette tables to shame. On top of electrifying gameplay, players can enjoy sophisticated animation, crisp graphics and a stunning spinning wheel.

At the beginning of every round, up to five randomly generated Lucky Numbers will be struck by lightning, giving them random multipliers of up to 500x. Say players bet on reds and earn an even-money payout; if their winning number also came with a lightning multiplier, then their max. cash payout will skyrocket.

From the roulette wheel down to the virtual chips, Evolution perfectly recreated all the best elements of its live Lightning Roulette table, which you can access via the ‘GO LIVE’ button!

First Person Craps

Craps is a popular dice game where players bet on the outcome of a dice roll. Craps tables always leave players on the edge of their seats, and First Person Craps is no different. This craps table is an RNG version of live Craps, offering the same interface numbers display, house edge and interactive tutorial. Of course, playing First Person Craps is not the same as actually watching the dice roll in real life, but it’s pretty darn close.

First Person Blackjack

This list wouldn’t be complete without a timeless casino card game like blackjack. If you’re a blackjack crackerjack like us, First Person Blackjack will, without a doubt, astonish you. Powered by Evolution, First Person Blackjack offers superior gameplay to other online blackjack games, as well as graphics that are so crisp, the studio looks almost life-like.

First Person Blackjack includes all the same bets as in typical blackjack. But, unlike classic blackjack, this blackjack table allows players to bet on up to five hands in each game round. Other bets, like 21+3 and Perfect Pairs, are also offered as additional wagers. Get your basic strategy ready, and click the ‘Deal Now’ button to play!

First Person Dragon Tiger

While on the topic of casino card games, let’s take a look at First Person Dragon Tiger. If you’re unfamiliar with Dragon Tiger, it’s basically a fun variation of the classic baccarat game. It follows all the basic rules of baccarat, allowing you to place an ante bet on the Player’s hand, the Banker’s hand or a Tie; only Dragon Tiger involves betting on a Tie, the Dragon or the Tiger.

First Person Dragon Tiger is visually stunning, offering the same user interface as typical Evolution casino card games, with side bets also included. With such simple rules and easy-to-follow gameplay, this baccarat table is perfect for beginners.

Casino Stud Poker

Poker is a staple on any casino floor. This classic casino table game was developed by Play’n GO and is played with a typical 52-card deck. Both you and the dealer receive five cards; there are no community cards in this game. The aim is to build the best five-card poker hand out of the five cards available. The dealer’s hand must contain an ace and king or better to qualify. While this may seem like a classic game of poker, Casino Stud Poker spices things up by throwing a Jackpot side bet into the mix!

While these games are the highlights of many online casinos, some honourable mentions also include Three Card Poker (played with three cards), Pai Gow Poker, Mississippi Stud, Punto Banco and Casino Hold’em (played with community cards).

PLAY TABLE GAMES FOR FREE

One of the main selling points of playing table games online is that you can, in fact, play them essentially for free — which, for many players, is a massive plus. Allow us to explain.

Because online tables are not streamed live, game providers included a demo version of the games (kind of like online slot demos).

WHAT’S A DEMO?

A demo is an identical version of the actual game; the only difference is that you play for free. As you enter the game, you’ll find a large bankroll to play with — these are virtual funds that replace your actual bankroll. If you’ve never played with virtual funds before, they’re basically fake money that only exists within the game.

So, while playing in the demo mode, you won’t be risking real cash to place bets, which is pretty neat. Though, it is important to note that virtual funds cannot be deposited into your account. Remember, all winnings obtained from the demo are entirely virtual.

The amount of virtual funds you’ll have may vary depending on the table game and the game provider. Don’t worry, you’ll have more than enough funds to enjoy a good chunk of the gameplay.

Besides checking out the vibe, many players use the demo to practise their basic strategy and try and test different betting systems so that they’ll have a good idea of what works best for them — and without putting any real cash funds on the line.

The demo is definitely worth trying, even if you don’t really swing towards online table games. Online games may not feature the same side bets and mechanics, but the basic rules and gameplay are all the same, so why not?

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to register and complete the verification process to access the demos. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play as a visitor.

HOW TO ACCESS A TABLE GAME DEMO

Bear in mind that not all online table games come with a free demo for you to try. Evolution’s First Person series, for instance, does not come equipped with free demos. To access the demos at HotSlots, all you need to do is hover over the thumbnail of your chosen game and select ‘DEMO’ — it’s that easy!

FAQ

⭐ What are online table games?

While live games are the online version of tables in land-based casinos, online table games are the RNG version of live games. They are not as feature-rich as live games and do not offer the same live dealer interaction, but they are great starter packs for your table and card game journey. Some players may argue that they’re not as intriguing, but don’t knock ’em 'til you’ve tried ‘em!

⭐ How do you play online table games?

Online table games are the stripped-down version of live games, so the gameplay, more often than not, would be pretty simple. Online table games come with a computer that manages everything for you, so all you really have to do is set your ante bet and play. Online tables rarely come with additional bets for you to place, so you’ll quickly get the hang of it. And if you don’t, you can always consult the game rules or try the game out in the demo mode.

⭐ What is the difference between table games and live dealer games?

That’s easy. Live games are way more immersive than online tables. They come with a live dealer that you can interact with, sleek studio designs and HD streaming. Some live games even offer multiple camera angles.

Online tables, though, offer stripped-down gameplay and simple rules — everything is run by a computer.

⭐ Can you play table games for free at HotSlots?

The majority of our online tables come equipped with a demo mode. The demo is a free-play version of the game that allows you to utilise virtual funds to place bets instead of your actual bankroll. The demo is great for getting a feel of the general gameplay while playing risk-free; the only downside is that you won’t win real payouts.

⭐ What is the best online casino to play table games?

HotSlots is one of the best recommended casino sites. As you flip through our catalogue, you’ll find thousands of slot games, hundreds of Live Casino games and some of the tastiest casino deals around.

Bear in mind that max. bonus, winnings and the deposit itself may come with wagering requirements and other Terms and Conditions.
