Online casino is what the name implies, casinos that can be played online. You can play the same games as in a regular casino.
You can expect the same odds as in a land-based casino; however, some online gambling sites claim higher odds for their slot machines than their conventional counterparts. Some publish their payout percentage audits on their websites, this is something that you should definitely check if possible when you decide to join an online casino as you can choose the casino with the highest payout percentage which will increase your chances of winning.
Online casinos can be divided into three groups based on how the player can play their games. These groups are:
via the Internet
Download based

Web casinos allow the player to play the game of his choice directly on the Internet, without having to download casino software to his computer. Casino games usually come in Macromedia Flash, Java or Macromedia Shockwave and require the appropriate plug-in in your web browser. Plugins are free and easy to install if they are not already enabled in your web browser. Most browsers already have plugins installed. You also need a fair amount of bandwidth as casino games are made up of sounds and animations that require a fair amount of bandwidth to run properly.
Download based casinos require the player to download online casino software onto their computer in order to play the games. The online casino software connects directly to the online casino service provider and allows you to play games without the need for a web browser. This has the advantage of making the game run faster because the software uses graphics and sound programs from the casino software rather than through your web browser. Obviously, it takes some time for the software to be installed on your computer, and there is always a risk (such as when downloading software) that the online casino software may contain malware and potentially infect your computer.
Live casinos are relatively new and allow the player to interact with games played in a real casino environment. Players can see, hear and interact with live dealers in casinos around the world.
Due to the fierce competition among online casinos, they all offer some sort of sign up bonus to encourage you to sign up on their website. For example, they usually double your first deposit; if you deposit $200, the casino will also deposit $200 into your account, meaning you have a total of $400 to play with.
