If you someone new to online casinos–which means, you don’t have any experience in playing in a land-based casino either–you may be surprised with how many games you can play online through your computer or mobile device. For someone who may have very little to no idea at all, the long list of playable games can be a bit overwhelming and may even be discouraging for some. However, it should not be like that.

Before you go and choose among the long list of online casinos out there, it would be a wise choice for you to have at least a plan on which games you go to first. Ideally, you would not want to go big on the complicated and complex games like sitting at a poker table or rolling it high on other card games. As a newbie, the best route for you to go is to play on the easiest games first, before moving on to the harder ones.

With that in mind, here are some of the easiest casino games you can play that are all newbie-friendly.

Slots

Slots is the classic favorite of a lot of people playing in a casino, whether it is on a land-based one or an online betting site, and it goes for a very good reason. This is because slots are one of the simplest, if not the simplest casino games to play.

All you need to do to play slots is to choose your game, pull the lever (or if you are playing online, push the button), wait for the spinning symbols to stop, and hope that you will get a winning combination.

However, although slots can be a good stepping stone for newbies who may be just “testing the waters,” it is not a good game to play long-term, as the odds are stacked against you and there is no real way for you to play strategically and at least increase your chances of winning.

Roulette

Roulette, in its many variants, is yet another one of the simplest games in a casino. Unlike slots, there a system to playing roulette, although it is still easy to learn and can be understood even by complete newbies in only a matter of minutes.

In roulette, a ball is thrown into the spinning wheel (the roulette), and all you have to do is make a bet on where you think it would land once the wheel stops spinning. You can bet on a specific number, on a block of numbers, or on a color where it would land. Each type of bet, of course, has its corresponding profit margin.

Baccarat

To non-gamblers, a game of baccarat may look to be a complicated one that involves a lot of counting and mathematical skills. However, the truth is it is not. It is so simple that you can play it without having any knowledge of it at all.

In baccarat, the mechanics are simple. The dealer (banker) gives the player two cards and two cards themselves as well. Now, the player would be which set–the player or the banker–has a card combination that is closest to the number nine. While there are three available bets–the player, banker, or a tie bet–the most ideal bet is to just always bet on the player.

Final thoughts

Once you get the hang of these games, you can either stick to playing them or if your think you are ready enough, start moving on to the more complicated games. Either way, gamble at your own pace and do not forget to be a responsible player at all times.

First iGB Affiliate Manager Academy to shine a light on effective AI-Driven affiliate recruitment strategies

Organisers of July’s edition of iGB L!VE – the first to be held in London – have announced the launch of the AI focussed iGB Affiliate Manager Academy which will be held July 1 as part of London iGaming Week.

The training and mentorship program which is being curated in partnership with Affiverse, founded by veteran affiliate marketer Lee-Ann Johnstone – and which guides businesses on how to launch, scale and grow successful affiliate programs, has been designed to help organisations of all sizes understand how to leverage new tactics and simple AI tools to recruit, retain and activate affiliates more effectively.

The Academy will offer a mix of practical learning, tactical assessments and personalised coaching providing affiliate managers with an invaluable opportunity to learn from industry leaders. Each unique session will include topical insights drawing on the dominant trends in the market.

Looking ahead to the Academy Lee-Ann Johnstone said: “I’m delighted that Clarion has invited Affiverse to develop a bespoke training academy specifically for iGaming Affiliate Managers.

“In an industry that’s constantly evolving, and which is powered by the early adoption of new technologies, businesses and affiliate managers have to keep learning in order to remain competitive. The only way we get to understand the affiliate space and all the complexities it entails is on the job – from others!

“It has always been important to me that those who have knowledge pay it forward and I’m really excited to be given the task of leading the curation of this unique event bringing the best of the best together in order to teach, train and coach affiliate managers as we move forward.

“The gap between AI-empowered affiliate managers and those relying solely on traditional methods is widening every month. The iGB Affiliate Manager Academy will provide the bridge to ensure businesses are on the right side of that divide.”

Reflecting on the importance and objectives of the iGB Affiliate Manager Academy, Global Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “Our live events are all about delivering real value to our international community of stakeholders. Lee-Ann and her team at Affiverse are spearheading the academy syllabus and content stream alongside IGB’s events production team to provide tailor made training and mentoring for new and existing affiliate managers as well as those who want to learn and scale their affiliate programs faster.

“The workshop will provide insider access to the exact AI-driven techniques that are assisting brands to deliver real results. Most significantly this isn’t just theory — instead it’s a hands-on expert-led roadmap focussing on immediately implementable tactics that will transform your program performance.”
