Specialty Games at Online Casinos

Specialty Games – In their efforts to provide a fully-rounded offer that would appeal to more users that just fans of casino games, most online casinos nowadays also offer a collection of so-called “specialty games”. These games include a diverse range of gambling products, from virtual sports to games like Bingo and Keno.

Specialty games are aimed at both players of games like Blackjack or Slots who want to take the occasional break, but also those who sign up solely with Bingo or Keno in mind. For a full breakdown of the different types of specialty games you can find at online casinos, take a look at the simplified guide below.

Bingo

This classic family game has successfully moved out of the Bingo halls which have long lost their shine to the online platforms of modern casinos. The variations you can find are almost the same traditional games you’ve probably played on Sunday, only in a virtual and single-player format:

• European or 90-Ball Bingo – The classic European variant, as popularised in the UK, 90-ball bingo is played with tickets with 27 spaces (9×3) and has 90 numbers in the draw. The game often comes with other specialty bonuses, apart from the standard one-line, two-line, and full house.
• American Bingo or 75-Ball Bingo – A scaled-down version of European Bingo, this variant is mostly popular in the US. The ticket here uses fewer spaces – 25 (5×5), and you can choose how many balls you want drawn. The jackpot is won by scoring all the numbers but there are also other rewards for different patterns, like the corner, hearts, or spots
• 30 Ball Bingo – An even smaller version with 30 numbers and a 3×3 ticket.
• Progressive Bingo – Either European or American versions of Bingo with a progressive jackpot pool that runs across different casinos offering the game. To win the jackpot, you have to meet special rules like getting a full house in a pre-determined number of calls or something similar.

Keno

Often confused with Bingo, Keno is likewise a game of matching numbers, but with a slight difference in the paytables and layout. Basically, Keno is played with up to 15 numbers that you have to select yourself, but instead of matching rows you would have to hit 3, 4 or more of your handpicked numbers. The trick being that the number of balls drawn is far less than with Bingo games.

The choices you have for playing Keno are as follows:

• Classic Keno – With classic Keno, you can select up to 15 numbers, depending on the casino, and receive a cash prize for hitting as little as 2 numbers. The wagers you can make are usually quite small, but they vary between different casinos.
• Progressive Keno – Just like progressive Bingo, this version of Keno has a progressive jackpot for a specialty combination. One example is NetEnt’s Jackpot Keno, where your numbers should spell out a “J” on the ticket to trigger the jackpot.

Other Specialty Games

Apart from Bingo, Keno and Virtual Sports, some casinos also offer other types of specialty games, some of which are even gambling versions of the games you play at home for fun. The most notable examples are:

• Sudoku – A slot version of the classic Japanese puzzle game, online Sudoku will have you bet a wager and receive a random 9-number combination. The object is to get a matched group (or groups) of numbers.
• Sic Bo – Sic Bo is a game of dice where you bet on certain number combination (like a 6 and 2, for example). There are plenty of bets available, just like in craps, but the number of dices rolled each time is three.
