Introduction to Other Casino Games
A small number of games do not readily fit into the major categories of Tables Games, Slots Games or, Video Pokers. These are generally games that do not employ cards, dice or spinning reels to determine their outcomes.
Instead their outcomes are determined purely by random number generators that effect changes on the screen.
Classic examples are...
Bingo
This game, originally played in halls and parlours around the UK and Europe, involves checking the numbers on a pre-printed card against those generated by a device such as an air blower ejecting numbered balls randomly at intervals. Online the cards are generated by computer and a software simulation displays the numbered balls. Numbers continue to be generated until a winner occurs
Keno
Similar to Bingo, this game is of Chinese origin and allows players to select their own numbers from a pre-numbered card in the hope that the air blower will eject the correspondingly numbered balls during a playing session. A fixed number of balls are generated during a session whether a winner occurs or not.
Backgammon
This is technically a dice game but also requires some careful strategy when planning its moves. It has been played competitively at international level and has now been adapted as an online entertainment.
