New Forms of Entertainment Online

New forms of entertainment are quickly expanding in ways we haven’t seen before.

In 2020, online casinos are among the fastest expanding forms of entertainment. Casual gamers value the simplicity of casino games, which have always been popular. Smartphone technology has made online casinos even more accessible and enjoyable. Because of this access, the demand for casino games has skyrocketed in recent years. 

Perhaps the biggest benefit mobile technology has introduced to the casino realm is the ability to play anywhere. Users are no longer restricted to their desktop PC or laptop and can now play casino classics on their sofa, on the train to work, and anywhere else. In 2020, when playing a casino online, you have complete freedom to play what you want and where you want. Importantly, online casinos also allow you to play for free.

However, it is in the mobile space where online casinos are reaching a new audience… the casual user. Moreover, game developers have created a whole new genre that is known as the social casino game. 

Social casino games speak directly to casual gamers who may not understand the ins and outs of the traditional casino experience. For example, many people still don’t know it is possible to play online casino games for free with no betting. Social casino developers avoid this misconception completely by focusing entirely on fun and the gaming experience. 

So, what are social casino games? Well, in terms of design and rules they are exactly the same as the classic card and table games you know (poker, blackjack, roulette). While developers will add their own flourishes and features, the core game experience is largely identical. Certainly, the differences in mechanics between traditional online casino and social casino games are minimal. 

However, there is something that differentiates social casinos, and it’s all in the name. Yes, social casino games are completely focused on fun and the social aspect of gaming. In other words, you don’t even have the option to play for real money like you would on an online casino. So, with social casinos, you will be playing purely because you love these games and against other people.

Like so many apps on Android and iOS, social casino games are built on a freemium model, which means they are free to download but include ads. There are also in-app purchases that allow developers to monetize their games. Players can buy higher valued chips to play in games that have higher stakes. 

This means players are effectively still taking part in every aspect of the casino experience without using any real money. Interestingly, the social side of the casino experience also extends to online slots. There are numerous social slot applications available that provide the high-concept fun we expect from good slot games. 

Again, it is worth remembering that you can play casino games for free and just for fun on regular online casinos. However, if you are a casual gamer and never plan on betting, perhaps a social casino is a good option for you. Games on social casinos tend to be faster paced and there is sometimes more energy because you are playing against real people.
