Gone are the days when recreational gamblers were limited to a few table games and a handful of fruit machines in the corner of a brick-and-mortar establishment. These days, the best online casino in the UK, The Phone Casino, has a wide offering of online casino table games and online slots that place a world of entertainment at your fingertips. So, with all the choices you have, you might be wondering which games are better to play.

While we at The Phone Casino love all our online casino games, we’ll do our best to steer you in the right direction by unpacking why you’re more likely to prefer playing either slots or table games.

Why choose online slots

There are plenty of reasons to select online casino slots as your game of choice. One of the main reasons so many players opt for slot machine action is that there’s no need to think too hard. You don’t have to do any homework or read or watch tutorials to get the hang of these engaging games. It’s as simple as accessing a title, placing your bet and hitting spin.

Another major slot drawcard is the variety of titles you have to choose from. There are literally hundreds of slot machines with different themes and mechanics to keep things fresh and exciting. Popular themes include Ancient Egypt or Rome, Asian and Irish themes, food and animal themes, and even crime, adventure and mythology. Then there are the mechanics and features of various games, from cascading reels, Megaways, InfiniReels and Gigablox to Cluster Pays.

If you’re after easy entertainment, endless variety and the chance of big wins, then you’ll enjoy playing slot games.

Why opt for table games

There’s a good reason why table games have attracted players from all walks of life for hundreds of years, from royalty and celebs to captains of industry and the rest of us. Let’s take a look at what keeps players coming back for more.

Strategy and the social element

While we know that success in all gambling games depends on whether Lady Luck smiles on you or not, table games give you plenty of chances to try out playing tips and game strategies. If you enjoy doing a deep dive into topics that interest you and you’re keen to learn the ins and outs of games like poker or blackjack, table games give you the chance to get your teeth into a game you’ll enjoy playing for years to come. And there’s the added incentive of increasing your chances of winning by playing well and discovering which tips and strategies work best for you.

These types of casino games also deliver an exciting social element. Whether you’re sitting at a real table watching the sweat break out on an opponent’s forehead as you raise a strong hand, or playing in a mobile casino games format with comments flying in a chatroom. It’s easy to make friends or at least make a connection or two when you play casino table games.

Immersive live games

Table games have evolved rapidly since the start of the internet era. One of the most exciting developments has been the inclusion of live table games that provide the sort of experience you could only have enjoyed by travelling to a brick-and-mortar establishment in the past.

If you’re not familiar with this format, live table games are recorded in real-time in a studio that’s been set up to look like a traditional casino. Using the latest software, the action is live-streamed to your device, wherever you happen to be. This means you can see all the action take place at the table and can even communicate with the dealer or croupier using the online chat function. All you need to do to take part is register with a casino online and make sure you have a fast enough internet connection.

Variety of games and experiences

At The Phone Casino, we have a selection of table games that include Live Three Card Poker – a good place to start if you’re a novice – or Live Casino Hold’em, a five-card variation of the popular Texas hold’em poker.

If you’d like to give online roulette a spin, there’s plenty to choose from, including Immersive Roulette which delivers a cinematic gaming experience with an intuitive interface that moves between different camera angles to enhance the look and feel of this exciting game.

There’s also Live Blackjack played with real cards and bets, and Live Baccarat that uses high-quality video and a user-friendly interface with a variety of adjustable settings to give you a real-feel casino experience in the comfort of your home.
