Feeling lucky today? Try your luck at a local casino. No such thing at hand, or you just don't feel like dressing up for a few hours of games of chance? No problem - try one of the canadian casinos over the internet.

I live in a town where we have no casinos nearby - the closest one is at a few hours of drive. Thus, for me going to a real, brick-and-mortar casino is not an option, at least not every day. The problem is I enjoy slot machines so much... so, online casinos are the only viable solution.

Online casinos have a number of advantages over their real life counterparts. Think of the gas used while driving there, the time waster while choosing the right outfit, waiting in line for a free table or machine, the drinks (that are usually overpriced), and so on. All these disappear when you play these games online.

Besides, there is the question of variety. While a real life establishment only has a few tables or a few tens of slot machines, an online casino has hundreds. Especially slots - these are the games available in the greatest variety in online casinos. You can find one in every shape (although most of them are rectangular wink!) and size, with every theme you can imagine. Movies, everyday activities, money, fairy tales, fantasy worlds or even sports come alive on your screen when playing the game.

Leaving on a vacation? No problem, you can take the casino with you wherever you go, thanks to the variety of mobile solutions implemented by the operators. You can use a smartphone or a tablet to play your favorite games while waiting for the plane or while riding the train. Just don't play and drive, because that's not a good combination...

Most online casinos are serious businesses which deal in games for real money. Although, if you don't feel like investing your funds in these games, you can also find several of them that offer a wide range of games completely free. If a few years ago browser-based casino games were just a handful, nowadays you can find hundreds of them available to run in a browser window. Most of them allow you to "try before you buy" - see if the game is the right one for you before you even register an account. These operators are perfect for a quick game while on the go, or for a brief break on the job, as they have no strings attached.

And who knows - maybe, in the future, these games can help you supplement your monthly income with a few bucks...
