Have you ever heard of 888 Casino? Of course you have. They are probably the biggest and best known online casino in the world. 888 Casino has been in the online casino business since 1997 and the casino has had over 20 million players so far.

But wait... if they have been around all those years how can they be as up to date as the newest online casinos being opened each week? Don't worry, 888's online casino has stayed on top of the latest cutting edge developments in the world of online casinos. They spend much time and money continually making improvements to the games, the bonuses and the rest of the player experience. This approach has obviously worked as the casino really is an excellent all-round choice.

The 888.com online casino offers three ways to play games. You can play using the classic downloadable games option, using the instant play games or using one of the 888.com phone/tablet apps. So which should you choose? Let's take a look at the options.

The downloadable games have always been the old school online casino main option. You spend a minute or two downloading and installing the casino's games software to your computer and then you get the best possible games available from 888's casino. The theory is that once you have set up the games they are there on your computer with the shiniest effects, most luxurious graphics and best sounds because you don't have to download them each time. This is still probably the best option if you want the best possible games experience.

The next choice is the instant play games option. Click a button on the 888 Casino website, log into your account and off you go. There is no installation or downloading of software to worry about. The games load directly in your web browser and when you choose a game it will take just a moment for it to be playable. The games are downloaded on demand and you can play from any Internet-connected computer. The nice thing about this option is that you can play virtually all of the same games as in the downloadable version but with you can play right away without having to download all of the software. With the advent of fast broadband connections this option offers nearly as good an experience as the download games.

The final option is to use one of the several smart phone, iPad or tablet apps to play at the casino. These apps are optimised for each device but don't offer a complete selection of the casino's games. So far the apps seem to focus on only a few games rather than the hundreds available through the downloadable games and instant-play games.

What about the games themselves then? There are hundreds of games to choose from and you'll have plenty of fun finding your favourites. All the common casino games are here and usually there will be a minimum of 4-5 different variants of each game. There are some excellent Roulette and Blackjack games (my personal favourites!) along with decent Keno, Poker and Craps games to play. Slots fans are especially well catered for as there are dozens of varied games included some excellent progressive jackpot games. It is always nice to see live person casino games at an online casino too. The games all look great and are fun to play. There are advanced features in many of them for better players.

What else does 888's online casino offer? They off some truly excellent welcome bonuses to new players. These bonuses range from free, no obligation casino cash and some good 100% match offers. They really want you to enjoy your first experience at the casino so make the most of these offers.

There is good support team back up to help you out if you have any questions. There are many FAQs on their website and you can get email and phone support if needed. Banking options are another strong point. Debit and credit cards are accepted and so are a vast range of online payment systems.

So what can I say about the 888 Online Casino? You have a well-respected, tried and tested company offering some of the best games available and doing their very best to give you the best gaming experience possible. This casino ticks an awful lot of boxes and if you haven't tried it yet then why not give it a go now? You could be playing your favourite game in a few minutes time!
