Best thing about Bovada:

Play for free
with no hassles

Most online casinos insult you with popups and spam, and they give you the hard sell even if you just want to try their free-play games.  Fortunately there's Bovada, which is the opposite.  That's the primary reason they're the only online casino I accept advertising from.

  • No registration required.  Most casinos let you play for free with fake money, but there's a catch: They make you register an account first.   That's not just a hassle: after you register you can expect them to badger you by email trying to get you to deposit real money.  But Bovada lets you play right away without forcing you to register an account.  Just close any registration boxes that appear, and then you can play without registering.  Here, try it.
  • Plays right in your browser.  If you'd rather not download the casino software to your computer or phone, you don't have to.  The games play right in your web browser.  Nice.
  • Works on Macs.  The play-in-browser games are MacOS compatible!  Before Bovada, Mac users were pretty much out of luck for gambling online, even for free-play.  Not any more.

Bovada's not perfect, but there's no better site serving most of the U.S.

Notes:

  1. My figures for casino size and room sizes are more accurate than you'll find anywhere else. Usually, someone publishes bad info and then everyone else copies them, so all the sites have bad info. But for my list, I scoured things like official Gaming Commission reports and SEC filings, and checked with individual casinos in cases of discrepancies.
  2. I haven't been able to find a reliable source for the separate gaming area sizes for Circus Circus/Slots-A-Fun, Venetian/Palazzo, Wynn/Encore, only the combined size for each pair.  On 10/18/22 I wrote to Venetian and Wynn to ask for separate gaming area figures. Venetian/Palazzo won't even talk to me.  Wynn/Encore provided figures (which I use), but they're smaller than what they reported to the NV Gaming Commission, and Wynn won't explain the discrepancy.  I'm not listing the combined figure, because that would make each casino look much larger than it really is. However, I'm including the Slots-A-Fun area with the figure for Circus Circus, since CC is one of the smaller casinos and Slots-A-Fun is even tinier.



    Strip vs. Downtown Casino/Hotels
    These are general differences, not different in every case.
    Circa hotel/casino is a notable exception to most of the downtown traits listed below.
    The Strip Downtown
    Expensive hotel rooms Much cheaper
    Modern, New Older
    Luxurious; high
    casino ceilings    		 Not as nice;
    low casino ceilings
    Larger rooms Smaller rooms
    All have pools Most don't
    (except Golden Nugget, Downtown Grand,
    & The Plaza)
    Higher table minimums Lower table minimums
    (cheaper to gamble)
    Mostly 6:5 blackjack
    (boo)    		 Lots of 3:2 blackjack
    Less smoky Smokier

Practice gambling with play money

Before you throw down your hard-earned cash in a casino, PRACTICE FIRST!  Learn the games with play money where it doesn't cost you anything if you lose.  Seriously.

You can play Bovada's games (below) right away without registering for an account.  Most every other online casino makes you give up your email address just to play the fake-money games — ugh.  That's the main reason Bovada is the only online casino that gets advertising space on my site.  (When you see the registration box, you can cancel it and proceed to the game without registering.)
