Interesting Games of Luck You Can Play Online With Others: A Full Guide
When people think of games of luck, their minds immediately go to casino games. However, there are a lot of games of chance you can play online with other people that don’t involve gambling or casinos.
If you are somebody who is interested in competitive gaming, then finding games you can play with other people is probably one of your top priorities. You may even be able to make some money playing against other people.
This post will tell you about some interesting games you can play with others online:
Social Casinos
Before diving into actual games, it’s first important to mention social casinos. If you are a fan of casino gaming but do not want to gamble, then social casinos are the best place for you to turn. A social casino, in the words of pros over at MrSweepstakes, is a type of casino where players use gold tokens instead of real money. However, while real money is not used on social casinos, you can still usually convert your tokens into prizes and sometimes even cash. Social casinos often have live lounges, where you can play with other people.
1. Roulette
Roulette is without a doubt one of the world’s most popular casino games. The downside to roulette is that it can usually only be played for cash. People tend not to enjoy roulette when money isn’t on the table, mainly because it is a pure game of chance and one cannot increase one’s chances of winning through skills, practice, or research. Roulette is a game that can be played with other people, however. Joining an online roulette lounge is a great way to make friends.
2. Poker
Poker is a game that’s typically played against other people. If you have nobody to play with and do not want to get involved in online casino gaming, then it’s a game you can play against machine algorithms online. However, you can improve your skills at poker by studying the game and conducting online research. Becoming better at poker can benefit you in other ways, too. Studies have shown that people who’re experts at poker tend to be very good at manipulating others (and the world) around them. Being a master manipulator can help you to ensure that you get what you want.
3. Blackjack
Blackjack is another casino game, typically played one-on-one against a dealer. However, while it’s a game played against a dealer, it is still a game you can play as part of an online lounge. Playing in a lounge can be a great way of making friends. The people you will meet there may also be looking for friends (and people to talk to). If you have a microphone, then try to find a lounge that allows microphone chatting. Microphone chatting means you’ll be able to talk to other real people without typing. Typing away to people can be annoying sometimes.
4. E-sports
E-sports is a form of competitive gaming that has risen in popularity in the last few years. It involves playing shoot ‘em up games (and sometimes even MMORPG games) against other people, usually for cash. If you want to get involved in e-sports then you’ll need to become a pro gamer. You can bet on e-sports without actually playing. E-sports tournaments tend to be held online but are sometimes held at actual video game conventions. All you need to do to bet is to find a tournament that’s being held and locate that tournament’s approved bookie.
5. MMORPGs
MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online roleplaying games) are a type of video game typically played with other people. These games tend to encourage people to join clans, which helps them to meet other people. Then, people’s clans fight against one another, and against NPC enemies. You won’t make much money playing MMORPGs, because the only way to make money on them is to farm for goods and then sell the loot you’ve made. Unfortunately, though, farming for loot is something that’s strictly prohibited in most MMORPG games. If you are caught doing it, then you can have your account banned.
6. Strategy games
Finally, online strategy games can be a good way of having fun. The most popular of these is chess. However, there are many games besides chess that you can play. If you do intend on playing strategy games, then do your research and find the game that interests you most.
Gaming can be an effective way of making friends. If you’re planning on playing games to meet people, then you need to make sure that you take steps to safeguard against identity theft. Do not reveal your full name, address, or the area that you are from to people.
