Weird Online Casino Games

 By Alex J. Coyne © 2018 Great Bridge Links

When you visit an online casino, there are plenty of games that you expect to see as part of the mix, including online poker, blackjack, baccarat and usually a couple of slot machines. But some online casinos offer much more unique options. There’s a lot more games for cash out there than just your regular selection of card games and the trusty roulette wheel.

Virtual Horse Racing

Betting on horse racing isn’t everybody’s thing, though there’s no denying the pastime is wildly popular all over the world. The concept of betting on the outcome of anything at all is pretty thrilling, and it’s the whole reason gambling exists. Bookmaker William Hill seems to be hoping this pastime goes virtual.

The UK betting operator offers virtual horse racing that assures users the odds are fair and the race is as real as the ‘real thing’.

Some other related options we’ve come across include virtual dog racing, or even a speedway! It’s hard to say whether or not these will take off, but we’re going to bet that it’ll be unlikely for virtual horseracing to overtake the popularity of the real thing anytime soon – it just doesn’t have the feel of the track, and there’s still a lot of distrust surrounding the random number generators employed with games like these.

Virtual horse race betting, and other bookie type betting, is becoming more and more popular at online casinos. To see reviews and a list of best online casinos, which you can sort according to country or other categories, as well as a lot of guides and information, try Spot On Casinos.

Toreba

If you’ve ever been in a gaming arcade, you’ll remember the famous claw game; they are notoriously hard to win, though some people have mastered them. Also, some claw machines are rigged, but you can still find plenty that aren’t.

Toreba is an attempt to make the claw game virtual and still offer real-life prizes.

It’s gotten plenty of media attention, and the game has its prizes shipped to winners from the game’s headquarters.

The game is so popular that it has its own thread on Reddit, and has already been cloned by several similar websites that hope to capitalize on the popularity of the original game.

HQ Trivia

If you believe in luck over skill, the internet is full of other games that you can take on – and an increasing number of sites are starting to capitalize on the idea of offering unusual games for cash. HQ Trivia is one of the most popular trivia games that lets users compete in real, cash tournaments.

But HQ Trivia has also received a lot of criticism, with some users claiming that the website started off well, but started going downhill fast. Buyer beware! It’s up to you to decide which of these reports you’ll side with.
