Well, in my book there are a lot more than 5, but here goes nonetheless:

1.    You can play as much as you want for as long as you want in the surroundings of your own home.  It doesn’t matter if it’s snowing outside, or you are hundreds or even thousands of miles from a casino, with an online casino, the action comes to you.

2.    It’s a great way to improve your techniques and strategies for gambling.  So many people have benefited from being able to play games repeatedly in an online casino, to be able to track their play – noting where they were successful and at other times less so.

3.    An online casino is a fantastic ‘place’ to meet new people.  I sometimes see raised eyebrows when I mention this, but it really is.  I don’t just mean people from your town, city or state, but other gamblers nationwide and across the globe.  I haven’t been to Hong Kong recently, but in an online casino, you can exchange stories, tips and advice with someone from there and many other exotic locations besides.

4.    Gambling in an online casino is quite simply, fun.  You really can have such a good time, learning more about both games and also yourself in the process.

5.    The range of online casino games is phenomenal.  You might not find everything that you are looking for in one online casino, but you will be spoilt for choice for things to do once you do choose one.

Lots of people have become interested in backgammon lately.  Thanks to televised pro tournaments and celebrity games there has been a surge of interest.  Now, lots of people want to jump right into competitive play which is a great way to lose money if you don’t know what you’re doing  and other are tepid to jump in for the very reason they don’t want to lose money while learning.  So, if you fall in to one of those categories you’ll be happy to know that along with real money internet backgammon there is also free online backgammon sites.  In fact, many of these sites are offered by the real money casinos.

Free casino game sites are offered mainly because real money casinos want to attract new players and retain current ones.  By offering free online backgammon, real money internet backgammon sites offer a way for new players to get involved, who will most likely continue to the real money tables at the casino they are already part of, and as a way to keep current players happy by giving them a  place to improve their skills and practice strategies risk free.

Backgammon is a game that is learned by playing; no great players read a book and started winning.  Free online backgammon offers the single best way to get experience playing thousands of other people from all over the world risk free.  If you’re new to backgammon and want to become a competitive player before you put money on the line, then start by playing free online backgammon.

For those of you into fashion (oh, I’m sure there must be some of you out there), that will be a meaningful statement, for others read: to download, or not to download?

As with all things Internet or not, that really depends upon you as a consumer and a punter.  If what you are looking for, is just to play from your web-browser and you are not too keen on putting casino download software on to your hard drive, then doing that is a perfectly reasonable option.  However, if improved game-play, graphics and audio is your thing, then you can’t really go wrong with casino download software.  If the sound of a little white ball rolling around the numbers on a roulette wheel makes you tingle, then short of actually being in a casino, the advantages of casino download software will become apparent.  In fact, with the speakers turned up full, it might just be better than the real thing.

The length and amount of time that you play, might also determine whether you wish to use the casino download or not.  If, for example you are in the office (and I’m not going to judge either way here) and want a sneaky game, clearly the download option is not going to be for you.  However, if you are at home, you’ve cleared your evening schedule, the kids are asleep and you want as close a taste of the action, without leaving your chair, check out the casino download options available to you today.

The backgammon board setup is very easy. Many peopletake a look at the board and the pieces and become totally confused. However,it is not as difficult as it first appears.

The basic set up is done on a board that containstwenty-four points around the playing board. The points are usually two colorssuch as blue and red or black and red. The points are colored to match theplaying discs.

For the next part of the backgammon setup, make surethere are thirty playing discs. Each player will need fifteen discs each of thesame color. Then number the pointsstarting with 1 from your home board and going to 24 on your opponent’s homeboard. Number 1 is the point in the lower right-hand corner near you and point24 is the upper right hand corner of the outer board.

Each player has fifteen playing discs of the same colorwhich they will place on various points around the board. Both players will then place the playing discsonto the board. Each player places two checkers on the 24 point, five on the 13point, three on the 8 point, and five on the 6 point. This is the basicbackgammon board set up.
