Online Casino Reviews

On my break at work, I've been known to download the odd online casino to have a toy around with, then if I like the site's design, the games they have on offer, and of course the all important online casino bonus, I'll sign up for a player's account later on at home. I've also been known to come in to work looking rather red-eyed and lacking sleep, after a marathon online blackjack session when I've lost track of time!

So here they are, my pick of the best online blackjack sites. I won't bother going into the ones I didn't think much of because there were so many (!), but rest assured that I've tried enough to pick the wheat from the chaff, so the following online casino gambling sites really are worth your time:

BlackjackBallroom.com
Doing an Internet search for free online blackjack, and blackjack online casino bonus, this little gem came up twice in the google results, which says a lot about the credibility and popularity of the site. BlackjackBallroom.com offers free online blackjack, which means that new players can use the complimentary $500 for one hour to play for free, then use whatever they win in the main casino as a real player.

One thing you notice upon loading the home page is a drop down box describing some lucky Finnish guy who won $5.5 million. Even though it wasn't won on blackjack (it was won on slots), apparently he hit the enormous jackpot using the money he'd won from the initial free $500 bonus money! I read up about the win, and apparently he won the money from a tiny 50 cent bet! Now that's what I call lucky...

Anyway, back to online blackjack games. The thing I liked most about this site was its clean lines and simple interface. There's no gaudy flashing lights that are usually associated with online casino gambling, just an easy to understand layout, and of course that $500 free bonus to help you on your way. One thing that I thought was a little misleading though was the name of the actual casino, BlackjackBallroom.com. I was expecting there to be nothing but blackjack, maybe some info on how to play blackjack, some blackjack strategy and so on, but in after downloading the casino software, I was pleasantly surprised to find the casino had over 280 different games - table games, card games and even slots. Blackjack, of course, was the main focus with 14 variations on the game and all the settings that both a beginner and a seasoned blackjack player would want. However, I just wasn't expecting all the other games as well!

If I had to pick one favourite place for exciting casino action, this would be my favorite free online blackjack casino. So to sum up the attractions of BlackjackBallroom.com: ease of use, clean and stylish design, range of games, and the motivation of being the next $5.5 million winner!

GoldenTigerCasino.com
This one was a recommendation from a friend who received a promotional CD from these guys last month. My friend's a big online casino gambling fan, and was over the moon to find he'd won a $1500 new player bonus to use at GoldenTigerCasino.com, which incidently they also offer in euros at their french casino en ligne as well.

This site's homepage is totally different to BlackjackBallroom.com. In fact, it's totally different to any online casino I've come across in the past, using a huge graphic of the sexy Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame to lure in new players. Well, it certainly worked with me! At first, I wasn't sure if the site was offering video slots alone, but delving deeper I found what I was looking for - a bit of info on blackjack strategy, how to play blackjack, and a whole list of blackjack games, including Multi-hand Atlantic Blackjack, Multi-hand Vegas Strip Blackjack, European Blackjack... sure, even some blackjack games I hadn't even heard of, like Spanish Blackjack and Multi-hand Spanish 21 Blackjack!

Be sure to read the terms and conditions of any online casino before signing up with them. Only because it will save you grief later on when you try to claim something you think you are entitled to but actually are not. There are many ways the casinos try and win players over, with lots of the offers actually being very good (see above). But we just need to know what the conditions are.
