It is all a matter of taste – the online casino game you would like to play? You can have them all if you like and what’s even better is you can get the games you like for free, or low-roller, mid-roller, high-roller and even nosebleed wagering versions. What’s your poison – is it classic slots, sklots, video slots, penny arcade games, keno, bingo, scratch cards, pull tabs, cascading games, mahjong for money, poker, video poker, craps, roulette, Asian games or pachinko, roulette perhaps, or baccarat? If James Bond played baccarat you can play baccarat too – so let’s take a look at baccarat shall we?
Baccarat is the ultimate “Nosebleed” or high altitude; high roller game, it is also one of the most simple of all casino games to play and you can get it and learn how to play it online. This online casino game, in its live incarnation has the reputation of being such an elite “big spenders'” game that the high class baccarat salons in Las Vegas and Monte Carlo are segregated from the rest of the casino and players’ identities are kept secret. It is said that the income from these big spenders actually keeps large casinos ticking over during lean times and they budget in their projected cash flows for big baccarat spenders or whales.
Apparently slots machines just don’t have the ability to generate enough income, no matter how much floor space they are allocated. The position is different for online slots, because thousands of players at one casino can play on the same game, they don’t have to wait for a seat to vacate. But let’s get back to baccarat.
Baccarat is then obviously a posh online casino game, and if it is good enough for James Bond and the late Kerry Packer it is good enough for you to play too. Believe it or not, if you look for the right online casino, you can even play penny baccarat, which is a great way to learn to play and grind out a winning situation. You can play for free too if you like, but this is not as much fun, at least when you risk a penny, this is not a lot of dosh, but the chance for a ROI is still viable.
The latest Microgaming Viper software for example, will allow you to play many an online casino game, for a penny, for $500 a wager or more. The choice is entirely yours in setting the coin range and this is the beauty of online casino gambling. What about getting your hands on $500 and one hour to play for free? Check it out, this can be done online too, why not get a few games or an hour of baccarat free; can you think of a better way to learn how to emulate James Bond in the casino, I certainly can’t! Talk about living your life vicariously – why not? Virtual Monte Carlo here I come with my penny in hand!
