Free Casino Games

Finding free casino games that are really free, can be a hard task online. Many websites claim to offer free casino games but are just referring to their advertised play for fun casinos. After visiting several websites here is what we found.

Firstly, the good news! Free casino game sites do exist. There are many websites where people can play casino games without having to deposit money. So I have divided these sites into a few categories: websites with paid advertising, online casino play for fun, false advertising, and real free casino game sites.

Most websites serve as an affiliate portal and is more of a banner farm for online casinos. These websites create a bias review of the free casino games offered by these casinos. Sadly, many of these casinos have no free casino games at all. Most of them won’t even let you play the games as you have no funds. So in order to play you must make a deposit.

Then there are the well optimized casinos who advertise under all casino related keyword and phrases including ‘free casino games’. This is very bad for the true freebie hunter who must visit these websites only to discover that these are play for cash casinos. Since the search engines can’t differentiate between the pay casinos and the play for fun websites, it is extremely hard to get around these. Thus, many people are turning to social networks to get user recommendations.

But even here can prove a sticky problem as more people accept payments to write reviews and recommend websites. A guide can claim he ‘stumbled upon’ this ‘free casino games’ website and recommend a paying casino. Of course, someone is bound to shoot it down with a ‘Thumbs down’ vote, but not before someone falls prey.

Throughout the social networks it is common to get your friend to ‘dig, or stumble’ your websites. People even offer free stumbling. So, even though searching for ‘free casino games’ may bring the worst results, it will soon become a nightmare in social networking also.

Back to our quest for free casino games. False advertising is the worst kind of results to find, and this is a common practice for ‘free’ products. People will optimize a website offering a free product but run a website full of “for sale” items. One websites stated

‘No other site in the gambling industry brings you digitally enhanced, full scale, flash built, free casino games that you can begin playing as easy as you can click a mouse. The free casino games offered here are the best you will find anywhere on the internet. We have worked very hard negotiating a deal with the developer of the games and as a result we have built an online casino arcade that you can enjoy without ever having to leave our site.’

But only provided a list of recommended casinos and the bonuses they offered. A click on every existing link only took me to other pay to play casino. Yet this website was ranked number ‘2’ in Google for the search phrase ‘free casino game’. Websites like these should be banded from the engines for misleading ads.

Finally, the real free casino game websites. After sifting through many pages we found several websites that will allow you to play casino games for free. Many of them were forums and you had to post a few lines to get ‘Gils’ (money) to play in the casinos. But they were free. No deposit needed. The best part was that they hosted over 30 games and some of them had up to 70 different games.

They were free casino games including blackjack, craps, roulette, keno, video poker, bingo, lotto, poker, baccarat, etc. I knocked myself out playing and whenever I ran out of ‘Gils’, I just posted a few lines and was good to play again for another hour.

There are good websites out there that are honest in providing what they advertise. Some bad apples always try to spoil the whole bunch. But I have learnt a remarkable lesson from my quest for ‘free casino games’: If you sift through the rubble you will find gold.
