Not that long ago, if you wanted to gamble in a professional environment, you had to go to a real ‘brick and mortar’ casino to do so, or you had to settle for a weekly poker evening with a few guys around the kitchen table.
There was something rather grand and exciting about stepping into the glitz and glamor of a gambling emporium, lights flashing, the sound of slot machines buzzing and
No doubt the social aspect of an exciting night out with friends is missing from online gaming, but there are also so many other positives about online casinos to take into account. Here are some of them:
MORE ACCESSIBILITY
Most people live many miles, or even states, away from land-based casinos. For most, visiting a casino would involve air travel, hotel stays and all the other expenses involved in getting there and staying for a day or two. If your primary reason for going to a casino is to gamble, online casinos make it really easy to do so in the comfort of your own home, or even on the go using fantastic mobile platforms like ours. You don’t even have to dress up, or dress at all – you can play naked if that’s what makes you happy! Feel free to play in your
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
Online casinos operate 24/7, so whether you’re an insomniac trying to while away the wee hours, or an early bird who’s up and at ‘em at 6 a.m., or you just want to use your lunch break for a bit of R&R, there’s always some action right when and where you need it.

STIFFER COMPETITION; BETTER CUSTOMER CARE
The boom in online gaming means that online casinos need to do everything they can to attract new players and keep their regulars happy (or they should do!). While you up your game, we’re always striving to up our game too. You’ll find offers of generous sign-up bonuses (basically free matching money with some conditions) as well as daily, weekly and monthly promotional offers. Some, like Desert Nights, will even give you a free no-deposit bonus which means you get something for free before you even spend a cent, allowing you to test drive the games and even win some cash before depositing your own money. Most online casinos also give you the option of free play, where you get the chance to play for fun. That’s something you won’t find in Vegas.
IT'S NOT ALWAYS LONELY ONLINE
Most online casinos, including Desert Nights, have a live chat function that allows you to contact a knowledgeable casino consultant in real time to ask questions about any aspect of the casino, such as payouts or where to find information.
And while online gaming is often very much an individual pursuit, there are many online casinos that offer table games for multiple players with the option of multi-tabling and even tournament-style competitions where you can pit your wits against other players all across the world.
