Online Card Games

Online card games are as much fun to play as they are unique! Plus, whatever game it is that you've been anxious to play (and win) in a regular land casino, you can now play online. That's right, just about every single casino game you can think of is also available at the World Wide Web. That means you can now play your favourite card games to your heart's content, and from the comfort of your own home.

To suggest that all online card games played in land-based casinos are available over the Net is indeed un understatement. In actuality there are many, many more versions of each game then you probably even imagine. This, mind you, shouldn't come as a surprise given the ease in which online casino operators can create brand new casino card games based on earlier versions.

So which are the more popular online casino card games? Glad you asked. Below is just a partial list, along with some short descriptions briefly explaining each online casino card game.

An all-time favourite of the online card games is Caribbean Poker. This fairly new variation of Blackjack is played according to rules that are very similar to land-based casino rules. Six card decks, however, are used rather than the usual 8.

If you love playing Texas Hold 'em, you'll go absolutely gaga over Casino Hold 'Em. That's right, the same mega-popular game can also be enjoyed online, plus with all of the action you'd expect from a casino game with the word "Hold 'em" in it.

You guessed it; Casino War is virtually the same card game you played as a child. While the rules for this fast-action game are basically the same, the potential cash winnings are huge, and very real, making Casino War one of the most sought-after online card games.

Let Them Ride is the online version of this fabulous poker game. Not only that, but this online card game also gives you the option of placing $1 side bets, thereby boosting your chances of winning big on certain combinations.

Pai Gow Poker is a form of poker in which you divide your seven dealt cards into two hands; a five-card hand and a two-card hand. Your goal is to have both your hands rank higher than the dealer's two hands.

Another chart-topper among online card games is Poker Three, virtually an online version of the ever-popular land casino game 'Three Card Poker' We should forewarn you, however; the graphics and very generous pay table may blow you away!

Pontoon is often referred to as an early version of Blackjack. In Pontoon any five-card hand or a 'Pontoon' (same as a Blackjack) pays 2 to 1, including after splitting. Unlike most other online card games, 8 card decks are used. Also the dealer must hit on all Soft 17's.

Red Dog is a stimulating three-card game where you are dealt two cards and then guess if the subsequent card you draw will rank between your first two cards. Red Dog also affords special payoffs depending on the 2-card spread. The smaller the spread - the bigger your pay out!

If you're into Blackjack, you'll absolutely love Stravaganza. This champion of online card games is played with 5 decks and linked to a Progressive Jackpot. In other words, the cash winnings you can bank here are gigantic.

Knowing even a little bit of poker means you'll have no difficulty playing Tequila Poker. One difference between this online poker version and its land-based counterpart is that you may choose to make a 'High Tequila' bet where all cards are worth their number, except face cards are worth 10 and Aces are worth 11.

Wild Viking is a combination of the classic table games Poker and Roulette with a variety of betting options including a progressive side bet. Like its name, Wild Viking is one of the wilder online card games out there
