Online casinos have revived some forgotten casino games

One of the many consequences of the introduction of online casinos has been the number of casino games the online casinos are able to offer us. The lack of space restrictions of online casinos as opposed to their land based rivals has meant that they are now reviving many casino games which have almost been forgotten. One of these games is Backgammon, probably one of the oldest gambling games in our history but hardly played outside the Middle East in recent years. There were a few land based casinos in Europe who offered Backgammon amongst their casino games, but it was often played in a separate room and was generally the preserve of high rollers playing for high stakes. Now almost all the online casinos on our recommended list offer Backgammon online, and it is proving very popular amongst online casino gamblers looking for a casino game requiring skill and experience as well as luck. You will find details of the rules and strategies of Backgammon on our individual casino games pages, but the principles of the game are very simple. Two players move 15 checkers around the 24 positions on the Backgammon board according to the throw of two dice. Clearly the fact that dice are used to determine how far the checkers can be moved requires an element of luck, but it is the way the checkers are moved on the board which more often than not determines the winner, and this is where an experienced Backgammon player has a huge advantage. Playing Backgammon at an online casino means that you are playing against another online gambler, who may or may not have experience, so it is wise to ensure that you fully understand the game before getting involved in high stakes games. Normally the initial stakes will be agreed before the game starts, but stakes can be raised during the game so be aware that you could lose more than the initial stake. Backgammon is an excellent casino game for those looking for a game which combines skill and an element of luck, and it is great to see Backgammon becoming popular again and available online.
