With a huge choice of casino games available, first time visitors can find choosing the right table for them a confusing experience. While some games are complex, requiring specific strategy and knowledge, others are actually very simple indeed. This article covers 5 easy casino games which would be ideal for first time players - and adds a tip on how to play each one!

#1 - Roulette : -

The infamous numbered wheel is one of the simplest games available. You simply make bets on where in the wheel you think the ball will come to a standstill. This can be a choice of black or red, odd or even or can be on specific numbers. As you gain experience with roulette you might want to try spitting chips over more than one number. Our tip is to look for a 'European' roulette table where possible, with only one 'zero', the odds are slightly more favorable to the player than the 'double zero' US wheel.

#2 - Classic Slots  :-

Slots have been a popular staple of casinos for years, and continue to be as popular as ever. Some slots have become quite advanced, with feature rounds and other gimmicks. We recommend sticking to the classic 3-reel slots, where you match bar symbols or sevens. These are not only very easy to play, the jackpots can grow large too. When playing slots always check that the number of 'coins' for each spin entitles you to win the jackpot should you strike it lucky!

#3 - Caribbean Stud Poker  : -

This is a classic 5-card poker game in which you play against the dealer. Each player is dealt 5 cards and then decides whether to raise or fold depending on their poker hand. With bigger payouts for strong poker hands this game can lead to some big money, and has a very simple game-play. Many casinos offer a progressive jackpot with Caribbean Stud, which can pay out huge sums if you are lucky enough to be dealt a royal flush.

#4 - Blackjack  : -

Blackjack is the classic game of '21' where you try and get as close to 21 as possible beating the dealers hand. Basic blackjack strategy is easy to pick up, and as soon as players have mastered the basics they can move on to more advanced moves such as doubling down or splitting cards too. Our tip is to find a strategy card where possible to ensure that you are keeping the house edge as low as possible.

#5 - Keno : -

Keno is an entertaining game which is one of the most simple to play of all casino games. You choose a set of numbers from 1 to 80 and win cash depending on how many are matched by balls drawn at random. This game can be found in live-dealer and electronic format. There is no real tip for this game other than to ensure you have fun!

The world of gambling got a major boost in number of players and in popularity since the ascension of the internet, specifically online gambling. Gambling is simply a way to make sporting events more interesting and enjoyable. Legalizing gambling activities, our society have higher possibility to become addicted in this game in one form or another.
The Netherlands is facing this kind of situation where online gambling addiction is the main issue. The government is pursuing any possible ways to limit online gambling and having more advertising to run gambling in the entire state. It seems that the country is in collision with the European Union. The country is doing their best to follow the footsteps of the United States by increasing their efforts towards online gambling by making it illegal in processing bank transactions and other credit card companies from Dutch citizens to any foreign gambling operators.
Addiction is the main issue of the government for having an online gambling prohibition in the country with harmful negative consequences that could bring. According to De Volkskrant, The Hague has no European Union laws about gambling and only the Netherlands have rights to contradict the laws to prevent criminal activity and gambling addiction. The EU internal market commissioner, Charlie McCreevy, points out that the actions of the Dutch in preventing foreign access to online gambling is creating a monopolize gaming industry to the nation. The situation will become worst because there is only one provider of the service in the country.
Monopoly creates a lot of fear to the gamblers because they mean that even in this capitalist society, people cannot get the best services for their money. The monopolies slow down innovation and efficiency, acquiring other companies when they do not have the leading services, and raising prices to make more money. He also stressed out by having a monopolistic gambling led to a questionable answer in addiction. There is no sufficient proof that the gambling crime was reduced. Excessive gambling can cause harm to the gambler or someone else in any way that leads to a certain crime. McCreevy highly believes that the country is pursuing its monopolistic gambling expansion. Like in the case of these two commercial gambling venues in the Netherlands, the state-owned De Lotto and Holland Casino.
The Dutch Supreme Court approved a measure allowing the Holland Casino, a major government-owned land-based casino operator to offer Internet casino gaming as an extension of its land-based gaming services. This form of Internet gaming is limited to traditional casino games and is available only to residents of Holland. Like many European Internet gambling models, the Netherlands does not allow its citizens to gamble online through foreign gambling operators.
The European Commission made criticism to the Dutch enforced gambling laws. They wanted that the online gambling will be covered by the organization's open market policy that could access to foreign gambling operators. Many foreign companies are trying to put up casinos in the Ducth country but all of their licenses have been denied by the government.
