People have always looked for ways to play classic games conveniently and with a great deal of style, but in what ways is it getting easier to do this? A look at some of the latest trends lets us see how this can now be done more easily than ever before.

Instant Access to Live Casino Games

Casino games like roulette and baccarat have long held appeal for players looking for some luxury playing time. Often played in the past in the private salons in the top casinos or the homes of wealthy gaming fans, they’ve now moved online but retain that feeling of excitement that made them popular in the first place. The introduction of live-streamed games with a smartly dressed dealer and a discreet setting has helped to add a new angle to these games.

As well as the games mentioned earlier, casinos have also started offering newer games based on diverse types of gameplay and with a live human presenter. Spin a Win Live is carried out using a colourful prize wheel with values noted on each of its segments. Its similarity to roulette is added to by the fact that players can bet on single numbers, on the winning colour, or on whether it’s an even or odd number.

The most interesting part of the live casino games scene is the way that it’s diversifying the industry by allowing casinos to offer games for each type of player. This means that we can find games with a luxury focus that mimic the private salon atmosphere with a stylish setting and professional dealer, or something more relaxed.

High-Quality Gaming Rooms at Home

There’s another way that a lot of people are choosing to play their favourite games at home, and that’s by creating their own games room. It’s not an entirely new phenomenon and while it isn’t clear who had history’s first games room, we can see the details of Louis XVI’s games room at Versailles, where the French King played games such as trictrac and whist in a fabulous setting in the 18th century.

Even before this, King Louis XI was the proud owner of what is believed to have been the world’s first indoor billiards table. This occurred in the late 15th century, according to The Tudor Enthusiast, and the table had a single hole in the centre where the King had to try and put the ball. A look at the oldest chess sets in history reveals beautifully carved pieces made of ivory, with King Philip II or Philip III thought to have owned a particularly stunning 11th-century set made in Italy and named the Charlemagne set.

It’s now become easier for us to add luxury games to our homes, which is why you’ll see so many ideas and products available online. From online casino games to modern billiard tables made of quality wood to chess sets hand-carved from materials like walnut and ebony, you can add the pleasure of gaming to your home in many different ways.

Whether you play online or fit out a quality games room, there are many ways of playing classic games with style that are worth looking into the next time you plan some home entertainment.
