You've got to roll with it |

For connoisseurs of the online game, the most convincing reproductions of real-world casino ambience have long been the preserve of the download software games offered by online casinos such as Ladbrokes, 888.com and InterCasino. Rendered with detailed visuals, hi-fidelity audio samples, and realistic playing dynamics, the only downside to this source of betting nirvana is the download, making these software casinos less convenient and certainly less attractive if you’re looking to play a little leisurely – or indeed covert - Craps while you’re away from your usual computer. Thankfully, the march of time and advances in Flash programming has meant Instant Play casinos, which can be played using almost any modern computer that’s set up to surf the Web, are shrinking the gap in realistic play when compared with the download rivals. To make the ‘point’ (if you’ll excuse the crap Craps pun) I can suggest taking a look at the WagerWorks powered-game deployed to great effect over at Virgin Casino.
A very straightforward sign-up is all that’s need to get you membership of Virgin’s Instant Play casino and onto its splendid Craps tables, yet even if it required the solving of a fiendish riddle (e.g. just what did happen to Michelle McManus’ career after winning Pop Idol?) I’d be happy to go to that effort since this is a really rather good rendition of this casino staple. From its gently posh English female croupier voice, to the satisfying click ‘n’ bounce of the dice on its lush, green virtual baize, I loved the attention to detail of this game and, bar the absence of simulated background casino chatter, I found this Instant Play software rendition of Craps a serious rival to the best download casino renderings for an authentic experience. Now, forgive me dashing off, but I need to return to those tables as I’m missing that delightful chink of virtual chips as I go for some long odds on an extravagant Horn bet… |
