Best Crypto Games in Online Casinos
The classic casino games that we could play with chips are gone. Nowadays, with technological advances, the rise of online casinos has increased, allowing different payment methods such as credit cards, prepaid cards and others. What could not be imagined is that you could get to play with cryptocurrencies. Some top 50 online casinos have started offering cryptocurrencies as a payment method in many games.
And so, with this in mind, we’re here to share details on the best games in online casinos that we can pay for with cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin Blackjack
By far one of the most popular casino games of all time, Blackjack remains a classic today; now, the ability to play with Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) makes it more relevant today than ever before.
The objective of the game hasn’t changed much over the years. Your goal is simply to get as close to 21 without exceeding it. You can place different types of bets, such as the “perfect pair”, “blackjack”, or “insurance”.
Ethereum Roulette
Another one of the most popular games in online casinos is Roulette. Who doesn’t like the thrill of spinning a wheel and waiting in anticipation to see where the ball will land?
The rules are pretty straightforward. You place your bets on where you think the ball will land. You can make different types of bets, such as betting on a single number, a group of numbers or even if the ball will land on a black or red number.
Mines
Mines is an extremely popular crypto-based casino game that’s clean and easy to pick up and learn, based on the traditional Windows DOS game, Minesweeper. In-game, you choose a square and uncover what’s underneath without hitting a mine.
Some tiles cover multipliers to help you build your score, and some will cover mines that, when hit, will end your game. Minimum bets usually sit around the £0.01 mark with possible RTPs (Return to Player) of 95%-99%.
This is undoubtedly a game that’s super fun to play and, with a little luck, can result in some pretty big wins.
Plinko
A favourite and a beloved game by so many players, a game that first came to fame when it was featured on the hit US game show, The Price is Right, as far back as 1983. Even now, the concept behind Plinko is simple, and all you have to do is drop the ball down a peg-filled board and watch it bounce to the bottom.
The game is set up with different rows of pegs; as the ball falls, it hits the pegs and changes direction. Different prize multipliers at the bottom of the board will determine your final winnings.
The RTP on this game is around 97%-99%, with many online casinos offering free play options to get you started and a massive maximum payout of approximately $2.5 million, depending on how much you bet in the first place. What’s more, you can get started on around $0.10 for a single bet!
Slots
There’s no denying that slot machine games are the bread-and-butter of brick-and-mortar and digital casinos, so there’s no reason why the same doesn’t apply to the more modern crypto casinos.
Slot games have been around for many years, and their popularity only seems to be increasing with time. With simple gameplay and the ability to potentially win big, it’s no wonder that slots are a favourite choice for casino-goers.
Perhaps thousands of slot machine variations and games are out there, meaning that there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. Whether you’re a fan of classic slots or the more modern video slots, you’re sure to find a game you’ll enjoy.
The RTP can vary depending on the machine and game you play, but they tend to average between 80% and 98%.
Limbo
No, we’re not talking about the game where you drop as low as possible, although that could be a fun crypto game to bet on. Instead, we’re talking about the fast-paced casino game.
The game aims to head out on the hunt for payouts. You simply choose how much you want to win and click “bet”. If the random number on the screen is the same or higher than the payout you put down, you win.
For example, if you put 4x your bet, the number that comes up must be 4x your bet, and if it is, you win! This is an excellent game for crypto players as it has a high RTP of up to 99.99%.
There you have it! While there’s no doubt cryptocurrency has changed the world, it’s only brought about more opportunities to have fun. In fact, some of the best casino games these days are fast-paced and exciting crypto games, so what are you waiting for?
Get out there and hopefully win big! Just remember to stay safe and gamble responsibly!

NEW YORK ISLANDERS REPRESENTATIVE ERIK ‘EKI’ TAMMENPAA EARNS HIS SIXTH EUROPEAN TITLE AT THE EA SPORTS NHL 24 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
In a rematch of last year’s European Championship, Erik ‘Eki’ Tammenpää, representing the New York Islanders, again prevailed over Teemu ‘Temppanen’ Karvonen representing the Anaheim Ducks to win the EA SPORTS NHL 24 European Championship title. The win marks Eki’s fourth-straight and sixth-overall European Championship title (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and another $15,000 USD in earnings. Temppanen placed second in the competition that took place at the Copenhagen Media Facility in Copenhagen, Denmark on Sunday evening. For a second year straight, both players will represent Europe in the EA SPORTS NHL 24 World Championship taking place in April in New York.
Eki is a full-time YouTube and Twitch content creator and EA SPORTS™ NHL® 24 expert and 24-year-old native of Helsinki, Finland. He remains the most decorated esports player on the NHL competitive circuit and will try once again to capture the World title after capturing runner up at last year’s EA SPORTS NHL 23 World Final.
During the competition in Copenhagen today, Temppanen and Eki qualified for a spot in the World Final by competing in a semifinal best-of-three round. Both players split their first two games, with Temppanen ultimately overtaking NikkeDanglesin a tight competition and Eki defeating Eken45Jr with eight goals in a Game Three shutout.
The Championship series saw a rematch of last year’s EA SPORTS NHL 23 European Final with Temppanen and EKI facing off once again. While Temppanen took the lead with an early goal in Game One, Eki scored three quick goals in a three-minute span during the second period and a game-winning goal in the third period by Vincent Trocheck (New York Rangers). Eki continued his goal streak and dominated Game Two, ultimately scoring six unanswered goals, including tallies from Jaccob Slavin (Carolina Hurricanes), Bo Horvat(New York Islanders), and Cam Atkinson (Philadelphia Flyers). Eki’s
6-0 victory solidified his sixth European title and status as “the one to beat.”
