The Online Casinos Versus Vegas

By Simon M Skinner

For those that love to play poker, or hope to win some money playing poker, online casino games are easy to enter and you can play from the comfort of your home or office, anytime. Compared to Vegas, there are several differences. For one thing, an online casino will let you play poker with play money.

You don't get a chance to practice with someone else's free cash in Vegas. Everything there is learned the hard way-usually by losing. But online, you can play without any risk initially and then start betting real money if you want to later-or not, as you choose.

Just like in Vegas, there are lots of different casino games to choose from when you play online. You can play craps, the slots, blackjack, Texas hold' em, and many other games-all from the comfort of your own chair. You have zero travel expenses and you can play whenever you want-at any time of day. And you can bet real money or just have fun and play with the casino's play money.

Online casinos sometimes give out freerolls for real money, too. There will probably be lots of players at the beginning, but if you're good at poker, you could win and end up with seats for the high money games or get actual cash put into your account-not play money.

At an online casino, players typically make a natural progression from playing with imaginary money to trying out the freerolls and then actually betting real currency. This is a nice advantage over Vegas. With online casino games, you can also sometimes take advantage of opportunities to play and win cash without a financial investment at all. That's another feature you won't find in Vegas.

There are many people that have become good poker players and have now decided to make poker their career and they have simply learned to play using the online casino games and have never traveled except for money tournaments they have won a seat for. Sometimes, these tournaments are held in Vegas, but that is the first time that many poker pros have been there that learned to play at an online casino.

Poker is easy to learn online. Most of the online casinos have tutorials or features that teach you how to play their gambling games, and poker is just one of those you can learn. And the best part is, using play money, you won't risk a cent while you learn-even if you lose-like you would in Vegas.

Still, Vegas is an avid gambler's dream destination, and if you play poker a lot, you'll probably want to do it in Vegas at least once in your life, just to experience the noise and the intensity of the place. It's a little different playing live and in person than online-since you have to decide what chips you want to throw in the middle and actually do it. But in many ways it is similar to what you learned online.

When it comes to Vegas Vs the online casino, there are many advantages to the online casino games and once you have perfected them, you may find yourself trying your luck in Vegas!
