Online casinos have different names for these games that don‘t fit easily into any other game category. Some online casinos call them specialty casino games, some call them parlor games, some call the casual games. The difference in the name is not significant.
Some online casinos also have different games in this category. Here at Everygame Casino, we call them specialty games. We have six games in this category. We have roulette and craps which some gamers think should be placed in the table games section.
We also have three great games that certainly belong here as they don’t fit into any other category: Fish Catch, Banana Jones, and Treasure Tree.
Why Are Roulette and Craps Placed in the Specialty Games Section?
While roulette and craps are great games, they are among the least played games at Everygame Casino and at all online casinos. There are a few reasons why this is so.
Graphics and Animation
The great advances technology has brought to online casino games through graphics and animation work best in slots. Slots remain the most popular game here at Everygame Casino and at most, if not all, online casinos.
Graphics and animations were “made” for slots! The characters can move as never before. This is especially true of the wild symbols which now have many ways to increase gamers’ winning chances.
The graphics are the most realistic they have ever been. If we look back to when slots all looked the same with bars, lemons, and so on, we can see that the difference in graphics and animation of today is light years beyond what they gave to slots even just 50 years ago!
Graphics and Animation in Craps and Roulette
While graphics and animation in these games have also improved dramatically in the last 20 years or so, they are less attractive than these games are at a land-based casino. We say this openly and without caveat, since we also say there are many more reasons to play casino games at Everygame Casino than to spend hundreds of dollars on a long weekend at a land-based casino just to whoop and holler at the roulette or craps tables!
Online casinos offer convenience, comfort, better time and money control, a broader assortment of games, (this is where specialty games come in), and many other advantages over gaming at any land-based casino.
There are many different bets in both craps and roulette. With so many bets possible in these games, we advise gamers to play the simplest bets first until you know all of the bets well. It is possible to make contradictory bets so play cautiously until you understand all of the bets extremely well.
Play European Roulette
Although we do offer American Roulette as well as European Roulette, the house edge in European Roulette is half the house edge in American Roulette.
Gamers Can Play Fish Catch with Other Gamers All Over the World
Fish Catch is a deep-sea fishing game. There are many different kinds of fish. The gun you need to use to catch a small fish will not be powerful enough to catch a larger fish.
So, there is some strategy in Fish Catch. However, most players who choose this specialty game over the others do so because of the great graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that you are deep beneath the surface of the ocean!
Gamers do become more proficient at Fish Catch as they play. The ability to challenge a gamer from a faraway country adds a lot to the excitement in Fish Catch.
Treasure Tree Challenges the Notion That Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees!
In Treasure Tree, money most definitely does grow on trees. This is a character-matching game. It features vibrant colors in blue, green, yellow, dark pink, light pink, and orange which is the color of the tree.
Treasure Tree has a mascot of sorts which is a very toothy chipmunk who wears a red bow tie. The chipmunk helps gamers “shake” the tree. When you match three colors and dollar amounts, you will win. Wins are usually multiplied so they can grow to great heights. The tree has also grown to great heights so get climbing for specialty game fun!
Cuddly Banana Jones is Best Played with Someone Equally Cuddly
Earlier, we mentioned some of the advantages of online versus on-land gaming. Banana Jones points to one very important advantage. Banana Jones, the character, is the cuddliest character in the entire online casino realm! This game seems to require a cuddly gaming partner! Certainly, you can’t cuddle up together at a land-based casino as much as you can cuddle up at home.
Banana Jones the game is a takeoff on the Indiana Jones movies and also on the Chutes and Ladders kids’ board game. By the way, in Merry Old England, Chutes and Ladders is called Snakes and Ladders (eek!).
There are snakes in Banana Jones because Indiana Jones hated snakes!
The idea of the game is to reach the castle where the Crystal Banana is kept awaiting “her” hero ol’ Banana Jones! When you reach the castle, you will win some money, maybe a lot! Whether you win a lot or a little, Banana Jones will go whoo hoo, whoo hoo in his cute and cuddly voice!
Everygame Casino Has Hundreds of Games in Other Game Categories
We carry upwards of 200 slots. Now, all players who have been to a land-based casino know how easy it is to get rooted to one slot for a very long time! At Everygame Casino, we tell gamers to avoid getting rooted to a single slot.
There is simply no reason to do so! Gamers can go from slot to slot and from game to game with ease and can return to the original game with the same ease! No waiting! No giving up a seat! No need to get your money’s worth playing on and on when it costs exactly zero to get to Everygame Casino for a session.
Gamers Can Choose from Many Variations of Blackjack and Video Poker
Here are even more reasons to play at Everygame Online Casino or any other good online casino! The return to player rate with correct strategy on every hand in these games at Everygame Casino is about 99.5%. At many land-based casinos, the return to player rate in video poker is quite a bit less because they lower the payout for a full house and a flush and the RTP in blackjack is also lower at many land-based casinos because they pay less for a blackjack!
Everygame Casino Offers Gamers the Freedom to Take a Real Vacation
This is our term for a vacation paid for by the money gamers do not spend getting to and playing at a land-based casino. We offer safe and fair gaming and, as we said, many advantages over land-based casinos!
