| Except where noted, all these sites require registration and a sizable download. And be prepared: Buying in and cashing out can be a hassle--most credit-card companies won't work with offshore gaming establishments. Instead, consider Western Union payments or a bank wire. Several Web-based cash accounts offer easy deposits and withdrawals; try Firepay and Netteller (available through individual gaming sites). |
 | Casino King
A site fit for Medieval royalty. Roulette, craps, video poker, blackjack, Caribbean Poker, Pai Gow and baccarat. Plus slots and plenty of free games, all with a "king and court" theme. |
| The River Belle
Despite the flashy name, there's no real design theme--but a huge variety of play: eight types of blackjack, four types of poker, slots and video poker. |
| Coral Casino
Unlike most other Web casinos, there are no downloads--just click on the link and up pops a game: baccarat, roulette, blackjack, craps, table and video poker and more than a dozen types of slots. |
| Party Poker
From nickel games to No Limit Hold 'Em, it's the closest to the real thing: a colorful interface and friendly tables including Sims-style characters. |
| Paradise Poker
This tropical-themed site features games from 50 cents to No Limit Tables, from Hold 'Em to Draw and Pineapple. Tables are lively with player chat featured in thought balloons, cartoon-style. |
| Poker Stars
Penny games and customizable player icons are the draw here, but the table chats are friendly, and tournaments start every two or three hours with buy-ins as low as $3. The choice of games is basic: Omaha and several varieties of Stud. |
| Digiturf
For $15, race your virtual pony for cash prizes. You buy the horse, train it, feed it, shoot it full of vitamins (available at the track store!) and race it as often as you like. Each racing season ends with the Championship Finals when owners race 2, 3 and 4-7 year for a fat cash prize. |
