Skill Games
The last twelve months has seen a huge surge in the popularity of skill games being played over the internet. Backgammon has been particularly popular, especially amongst poker players looking for a change to their normal game. Traditional games such as Chess, Mah Jong, Gin Rummy, Riverboat Rummy and Dominoes have also seen a revival, and if you haven't tried these before then now is the time, as more and more sites offer them to players. In addition to these games, fun new games have been developed to keep players interested - you can now play golf, soccer, four-in-a-row and countless other games online. As with most of the casino games, you can play these games completely free for "play money", or you can pit your wits against other players (or the house) for real money. Skill games have the great advantage that there are no legal issues surrounding the playing of them for money, and credit card companies class these sites as "recreational" rather than gambling sites. What this means is that you will often find that a credit card which was declined by a casino can by used to deposit at a skill games site. Indeed, some of the sites allow you to deposit by PayPal if you PayPal account. Skill games offer much of the same excitement as casino games, along with the satisfaction of winning through your own ability rather than relying on luck. The better you get at a game, the better your chance of winning... Here's a brief introduction to some of the more popular skill games around.
