Here at Fortune Frenzy, we offer a huge variety of high quality casino games, including slots, blackjack, roulette and many more. All of our games are provided by world-class software developers, which means they’re packed full of great features, beautiful graphics and perform flawlessly across all devices.
Although we hope all of our games appeal to all sorts of different players, this isn’t to say it’s as easy to play some games as others. Each different game requires a different level of skill and understanding, and so some games are more difficult to be successful at.
For example, some games like slots, simply require you to place a wager and hit a button, whilst some games call for lateral and strategic thinking. Luckily, however, in today’s guide we’re ranking each type of game from easiest to most difficult, so you can decide which suits you best.
The Easiest Games
Scratchcards
Of all the games available here at Fortune Frenzy, scratchcard games are probably the easiest to play. This is because they don’t require any skill at all. The player simply needs to purchase a scratchcard and then virtually scratch the panels away to see if they’re going to receive a prize or not. There’s nothing a player can do to change the outcome of the game, and so, scratchcard games are basically a game of chance.
Slots
We love slots here at Fortune Frenzy, and this is because they’re very easy to get involved with. Whilst there are tons of different types of slots around, the majority operate in exactly the same way. Players place a wager and then hit the spin button to see what kind of prize they’ll walk away with. Once the spin has been made, there’s nothing the player can do as each spin is decided by a complex algorithm which is produced by a random number generator.
On the other hand, players do have an active choice in deciding which games to play based around variance and RTP (return to player rate). These variables can have different effects on the gameplay of a slot, and can impact the size and number of wins you receive. For instance, the higher the RTP, the more chance you have of a slot paying out more often. In addition, depending on if you’re playing a high or low variance slot, you may want to adopt a different betting strategy or figure out a more suitable plan for your budget.
Medium Difficulty Games
Roulette
On first appearances, roulette can seem like a very simple game to play. This is because it’s certainly not a difficult game to understand; you are simply spinning a wheel to select a number using a ball, and betting on where the ball will land. However, the amount of betting options can be confusing for newbies and therefore we’ve ranked it as a medium difficulty game.
Most people will understand ‘outside’ bet in roulette. These are bets that offer an almost 50% chance of coming in, such as betting on Red or Black or Odd or Even. You can also bet on single numbers, columns or ranges of numbers such as 1-18 or 19-36. However, when it comes to more complex bets such as corner bets, snake bets and ‘voisins’ (neighbours to zero), it can be harder to understand what each choice means.
Once a player understands the betting options and how these correlate to house edges however, the game goes from medium difficulty to easy! It just means that you may need to do a little swotting up first.
Poker
Like roulette, poker can seem very confusing at first for new players. Whilst we’ve included poker in the ‘medium difficulty’ section of this guide, it does demand players to adopt strategies in order to be successful. First of all, however, players need to understand that there are many different types of video poker around, and finding one that offers a good RTP is vital. After this, you can improve your chances of winning by learning, and then playing the game to, a proven poker strategy.
For instance, whilst the cards you are handed may be random, there are certain combinations of cards which pay out more. You need to understand these combinations in order to play successfully. For example, you may received hand containing a 4 of hearts, a 6 of hearts, a 7 of hearts, a 1o of hearts and a 5 of spades. In this instance, it’s much wiser to keep get rid of the 5 of spades and go for a flush than to get rid of the 10 of hearts in the hope that you can land a straight.
This is because a flush pays out at a higher rate than a straight, and you actually have more chance of creating a successful hand. Whereas to create a straight you’d have to hit a three or an eight of any suit (which means there’s 8 cards available to complete the hand, four three’s and four sevens), to create the flush you have 9 remaining heart cards that could be hit.
Understanding what to do in these situations is the first thing players need to learn when playing poker, and this is the beginning of playing with a strategy in mind. Serious poker players spend a lot of time studying what the right call to make is, depending on which hards they have in their hand.
The Most Difficult Game
Blackjack
We know what you’re thinking; how can blackjack, a game which runs on the basic premise of trying to beat the dealer’s score without going over 21, be the most difficult game to play at the casino? Well, whilst blackjack is a joyously simple game to play and to understand, to become consistently profitable at it is actually quite hard work.
You see, underneath the basics of blackjack, there lies a game that demands a high level of lateral thinking from it’s players. To become successful at blackjack, you need to have a very firm understanding of at least the basic blackjack strategy, and ideally, more complex strategies too, and a creative mind.
There are many guides players can read to learn blackjack strategy, yet it’s deceitfully easy to understand. This is because it’s absolutely crucial that players follow a proven strategy to be able to accrue regular wins.
As the strategy is so easy to grasp, players often give up on it, thinking they know it all, and ultimately losing the game more often than they’d like. Blackjack is devilishly hard to master, and therefore, it holds it’s place as the most difficult casino game to play at Fortune Frenzy!
