Many online casinos now offer Backgammon online

There is no doubt that the online casinos have provided us with a huge choice of casino games for us to enjoy, although by far the biggest range on most online casino sites is the slots and video slots. These casino games are of course totally reliant on luck, but those of us who prefer casino games which require an element of skill have also benefitted from the increased choice that online casinos provide. The game of poker for example has blossomed since the advent of online casinos, but we should not forget some of the other games which require both skill and luck. Backgammon is a prime  example of a casino game which falls into that category, and as one of the oldest gambling games known in our history is also making a serious comeback as a result of the online casinos. Most of the online casinos we feature on our recommended list now offer Backgammon within their range of casino games, and as a result it is no longer a game which historically seems to have established a reputation for being a casino game for high rollers. If you have not tried Backgammon, you will find details of the rules and strategies on our casino games pages, but the principle is simple. Each player has to move 15 checkers around 24 positions on the Backgammon board and each move is defined by the throw of two dice. The skill in Backgammon lies in how the checkers are moved around the board, and although the number of moves which can be made depends of the luck of the dice it is generally recognised that skill and experience will prevail in the end. New online Backgammon players should always bear this in mind when they start playing, because playing Backgammon at an online casino involves pitting your wits against another player who may have more experience than you. We would therefore recommend that a new player should keep the stakes low until they have gained experience and fully understand the game. The initial stakes are generally agreed before the game starts, but as in poker the stakes can rise during the game so take care to stay within your limits.
