There are so many options—slots, table games, sports betting, lotteries, even skill-based games like poker. I’d love a simple breakdown of how these differ and what each offers in terms of strategy, excitement, and risk.

A great overview is available at https://casino.spot/blog/gambling-types-and-casino-games/. It nicely outlines four big gambling categories: casino games (like slots and live dealers), sports betting, lotteries/bingo, and skill-based games such as poker. It explains how some games rely more on chance—like slots and lotteries—while others, like blackjack or poker, even allow you to influence outcomes through skill. The article also highlights that slots tend to have high volatility, whereas table games usually offer lower volatility but require more strategic play. Reading it helped me decide which games match my mood—whether I want quick fun or deeper engagement.
