The hottest games of June 2011 list for Vegas Palms online casino is now available. Various forms of Blackjack have been increasingly popular this month, which is not particularly surprising because Blackjack has always had the lowest house edge of all online casino games.

The variants of online casino blackjack in the list are Classic Blackjack Gold, and European Blackjack. Neither of these variants feature a peeking dealer after the cards are dealt, but this is actually a small disadvantage. Should a player choose to split or doubles, and then eventually the dealer has a blackjack, causing the player to lose more than their original wager. Classic Blackjack Gold is also very popular, but for another reason. It is a very rare blackjack variant in the online casino industry, because it is played with a single deck. Because of this, the game is loaded significantly in favour of the player, cancelling out any other disadvantage which might be present.

Vegas Palms online casino also features a live dealer casino, in which actual casino operations are video streamed to players via the Internet. Roulette is without doubt the most popular game at physical casinos, thus not surprising to see Live Dealer Roulette featured in Vegas Palms’ hottest games list.

The other games in the hot list include online slots Thunderstruck II, and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Both online casino games being released mid 2010, and drawing significant traffic since their introduction. Gold Factory, released last month, is another online casino slots game immediately finding itself a place in the hottest games list. Gold Factory’s success is likely due to its multi level bonus game, and the sheer amount of gold on the reels.

A few surprising additions for June were Big Top, and Burning Desire. Big Top is a huge surprise because it’s actually a very early Microgaming release, with 9 paylines but no free spins and no bonus game to speak of. Burning Desire is themed in a Valentine’s Day guise. At first you may think “But Valentine’s Day is months away?”, but this is an important concept because for the first time an online slots game is doing away with defined paylines and introducing a “243 ways to win” concept in its place.
