Top 5 Games At Online Casinos

Counting down the top games at online casinos may sound like a strange exercise if you’re not familiar with this category as it exists in 2020. You might assume the conversation would be as simple as highlighting online poker, blackjack, and online slots, and being done with it. But the casino category today is not what it was five or ten years ago. Certainly the classic games still exist, and poker in particular is still big business. But the category today is defined in particular by more video game-like experiences: slots, jackpots, and even new twists on bingo and roulette that employ animation, mini-games, and exciting themes to capture players’ interest.

A lot of these games play somewhat similarly. But the fact of the matter is that those extra features just mentioned work quite well. They’ve made online casinos more dynamic and more enjoyable, and have resulted in a lot of individual games that are quite a lot of fun. Picking any sort of definitive top five is actually difficult, if not impossible. But these are definitely some of the best, and some of our favorites.

1. Vikings Go Berzerk

Maybe it’s just that Vikings are red hot in the gaming world lately due to the release of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. Or maybe we just like some good historical action (which is actually pretty prevalent in modern online casinos). Whatever the case, the Vikings Go Berzerk slot is an easy pick as one of the best in the category. It’s actually a sequel to another slot reel called Vikings Go Wild, but is effectively an updated version. The game starts out with a cinematic intro that takes you back to a slightly fantasy-infused Viking age, within which the game is set. Then, within the game itself, special slot features based on “Viking rage” and “Ragnarok” make for exciting play that feels a little bit different than the average slot.

2. King Of Olympus Jackpot

If you explore the casino category you’ll come to notice pretty quickly that there are a lot of games based don the heroes and deities of ancient civilizations. Most prominent among them are the selections in a series called “Age of the Gods,” and the King Of Olympus jackpot reel may well be the best of these games. It’s just an incredibly vibrant and immersive game that brings Olympian glory to life in a wholly satisfying manner — complete with jackpot-oriented gameplay that makes you feel like significant riches are always just out of sight (which really is the goal of any slot arcade).

3. Deal Or No Deal Slingo

Slingo is a slot-bingo combination game that has been made popular largely through a handful of titles featured on Foxy Games. It’s relatively self-explanatory, but to give a brief overview, it’s a form of bingo in which numbers are called by way of slot reel spins. Truth be told, this style of gaming stands out as one of the more unique and surprisingly fun aspects of modern casino gaming, but to single out a specific title we’re going with Deal Or No Deal. This game essentially adds yet another element to the hybrid, infusing a slot-bingo combo with elements of the popular game show for which it is named. The result, frankly, is a blast.

4. Ghost Rider

We like the Ghost Rider slot reel by Playtech as a sort of hidden gem. Not too long ago, as it was first taking shape and becoming what we know it as today, the online slot category had a number of Marvel games in it. However, when Disney acquired the comic book giant, the decision was made to pull licensing away from casino gaming platforms. Ghost Rider, however — whose licensing has always been a complex issue — was left behind. As a result, this slot is a one-of-a-kind taste of what Marvel slot gaming could have been. And it may not be around forever. We Got This Covered reported some time ago that Ghost Rider may be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which would only happen if Disney acquired the character’s full rights. It is conceivable that at that point this game would disappear.

5. Deadmau5

Deadmau5 is always up to something. In recent months alone he put out a Halloween mix on Mau5trap Radio and released an inspired and unexpected sequel with Kiesza (called “Bridged By A Lightwave”). Somewhere in there though, Deadmau5 also managed to work out a licensing deal that allowed for a brand new slot reel revolving around his music to be designed. It’s a wholly unique game in the category, an absolute treat for anyone who likes the artist’s music, and undeniably deserving of our top five!
