Today's Grande Vegas Casino online casino lobby is more crowded than ever. Between the ever-growing slots listings, classic table games and a variety of specialty games, it’s easy to overlook a quiet but powerful tab in the menu -- Casual Games. Casual games are a new section of the casino. They may not get the neon-light treatment but casual games are often the best choice for players who value interactive play with fast results.
Casual Games
Why might you enjoy playing casual games?
Casual games are favored by gamers who appreciate the heightened level of control. While traditional slots are more passive -- you press a button and wait for the RNG to do its thing -- casual games let you steer the wheel. You decide when to "cash out" which means that you set your own volatility. That's something that you simply can't do on a standard slot machine.
Many gamers find that casual games offer more transparency. You can watch the leaderboard to see how you're doing and compare your results to those of other players.
For budget gamers, casual games can be more budget friendly. If you're looking to stretch a $20 bankroll for an hour of entertainment, casual games are your best friend. Minimum bets are low and you can play an entire round for pennies while still enjoying the chance to hit a 1000x multiplier.
Casual games are designed for a mobile-first lifestyle. As "bite-sized" games, they load instantly and play more quickly. There's no fluff -- you don't have to sit through 10 seconds of "Big Win" animations or long bonus-round intros. You can see the result of multiple rounds in seconds.
Grande Vegas Casual Games
Grande Vegas features four of the most popular casual games which you can play for free in the casino Free Mode or for real money prizes in the Real Mode. Check out the Casual Games, located in the casino's games lobby.
Fu Long Plinko
In China, Fú Lóng means "dragon", a traditional symbol of good fortune and prosperity. In Fú Lóng Plinko, the Golden Dragon accompanies you as you drop your coins into the Plinko maze and discover lucrative treasures. The gameboard features red, green and gold pots which hold brilliant green jade stones, glittering gold coins and shimmering white pearls. Gameplay involves dropping the coins into a maze to unearth gems for your collection.
The coins are dropped into a peg-filled pyramid. The coins descend further and further into the maze, bouncing off the pegs as they tumble down. The slot that your coin lands in when it reaches the bottom of the maze determines your payout prize. There are low payout slots, medium payout slots and high-value slots. Each pocket has a multiplier which increases as more coins drop down.
To play, place your bet and click on either the green jade chest, the yellow gold coins chest or the red pearls chest. Then start dropping the coins. Your risk level is based on your bet amount and the chest that you choose. The pearls, with a 1x multiplier, are the lowest risk choice. The Gold Coins chest (2x multiplier) is a medium risk choice. The green jade chest, with a 3x multiplier, is the highest risk choice.
Under Pressure
Under Pressure is an under-the-ocean-themed Crash Game that brings the suspense of a deep dive to the gaming screen. In Under Pressure you'll board a submarine which starts to descent into the ocean, causing the multipliers to rise. You can cash out at any time as the sub descends – cash out before the sub explodes and the payout is yours. The multiplier that displayed at the moment that you cashed out determines your payout.
The multiplier value can reach 5000x so, on the one hand, it's worthwhile to let the sub descend as low as possible! On the other hand, if the sub explodes, you get nothing. Decisions, decisions……. The sub submerges over and over so if you don't bet during one round, you can catch the betting round on the next round.
Throughout the game, your results will be displayed to all the gamers who are playing at the same time and you can watch their results as well, making this one of the casino's best new games for the social media era.
Ripcord Rush
Ripcord Rush is another crash game which is played interactively – you play your game and watch the leaderboard as you compete against other players who are playing simultaneously so that you can compare your results with the results of the other gamers.
In Ripcord Rush, you press the button which releases the parachute. The further down you go with your parachute, the bigger your payout. The goal is to cash your wins out before the parachute opens. The multiplier value increases as you plummet – the higher the multiplier, the higher your win.
You place your bet at the beginning of each jump. Then, you press the "start" button to jump. You want to cash out before the parachute opens. If you succeed you’ll win your bet multiplied by the Multiplier that is displayed at the moment of the cash-out. If your parachute opens before the cash out, you'll lose your entire wager. Once again, you have to decide – should you cash out early? If so, your payout will be low. But if you let the parachute descend and it opens before you cash out, you've lost everything. Wait or don't wait….wait or don't wait…..what a decision!
Head to Grande Vegas' Casual Games section for some light-hearted, interactive and potentially lucrative gaming entertainment.
