Exploring Casino Games as a Sports Lover

Diversification Strategies: Casinos seek to broaden their gaming offerings, embracing sports betting to cater to a wider audience of sports.

Whenever you gamble online, you're going to fall into one of two categories; sports betting or online casino. Many big sites now offer both in the same place, although a lot of players only ever see one side of things. In particular, sports bettors tend to stick to only playing sports, so to help out those players looking to try out casino games, here's a brief guide on what to expect and how certain things work differently.

Games Have Set Odds

The biggest difference you'll see straight away is that the odds you'll find in casino game don't change. With sports bets, it's common to see the odds for a result or scoreline change all the time, even in the middle of a match. This is based on real-life changes such as player injuries or sudden roster changes.

Casino games work differently as the odds are naturally programmed in. A specific result in a slot will always have the same chances of landing, so, for example, if you play Sugar Rush at Paddy Power Bingo multiple times on different days, landing 20 star symbols will always have the same chance no matter when you play.

Different versions of the same game may have small differences between them in odds, such as playing a virtual roulette game made by different providers, but for a single version, the odds never change. It also means that there's no difference between each spin as each one is separate from the last; there is no 'form' to look at here.

Bets Are Simple

If you've put together enough betting slips, you'll know the list of bet types you can make on sports is fairly long. Aside from just the straight bets, there are also multiple (or express) bets as well as combo bets which are complex enough that we have a whole guide just for them here at Feedinco. Experienced players will be familiar with these but newer players can easily get a little lost to start with.

The good news is that casino games generally have a much more straightforward approach to placing bets, at least with slots. These usually involve just setting how much you put on each spin and then just starting with all the calculations and numbers worked out automatically for you.

It does get slightly more complex when it comes to table games like roulette as WikiHow demonstrates, but even then, it usually comes down to picking between different set odds. Mathematically, it's all a lot simpler to work with than the more complicated sports bets.

New Titles All The Time

With a few rare exceptions, no one is really inventing any new major sports any time soon. Sports betting itself is at least as old as the Roman Empire and, aside from changes in bet types and sport-specific bets, the format has been the same for that entire time. In most cases, you're betting on a win, a loss, or a draw, regardless of the event.

With casino games, you're looking at the complete opposite. New casino games are released basically every single week and they come with every kind of unique theme and feature you could imagine, While some have a few similarities to each other, there is a lot more to explore.

This isn't limited to slot games either. Even the classic table games get different versions in play, such as the famous Lightning versions of roulette, blackjack, and other games. The total number of casino games available goes into the thousands so there's always something new to try out.

The good thing is, if you're playing both sports and casino games on the same site, you will share a balance between both sides, so there's no need to manage two different funds. In general, we've found that if you like one side of betting, you'll almost certainly find something to get stuck into!
