The face of casino gambling in Ireland and it has to be said most of the world has been changed beyond all recognition by the rise of online casinos. The space limitations of real casinos meant that most of them were unable to offer more than two or three casino games plus a small number of slots for their customers to play, but online casinos have no such problems. There is now a huge range of casino games at our disposal and although most of them are slots or video slots in a variety of forms, the online casinos have also reintroduced some of the more traditional casino games such as Poker and Backgammon. Backgammon is of course one of the oldest known casino games, dating back hundreds of years, but most of our generation in Ireland have never had the opportunity to play Backgammon in our lives until now. We have detailed the rules of Backgammon in our casino games pages to help new players understand how to play the game, and we would advise that you read them before having a go. Backgammon is a casino game which requires both luck and skill. The luck is provided by the throw of the dice which determines how many moves the player can make, and the skill comes in the form of the best way to move the checkers around the Backgammon board. A word of warning for new Backgammon players because like poker it is a casino game which tends to favour the experienced player in the long run. It is particularly important to be aware of this when playing Backgammon online against other players because you have no way of knowing how experienced they are. Nevertheless Backgammon is an interesting and exciting casino game for those of you who enjoy needing to think about your next move, and we highly recommend that you give it a try.
