Something(s) completely different at Casino Tropez

Lately, the Os Man’s been hanging out in the weirder areas of online casinos, those sections populated with games outside the realms of traditional slots, blackjack, roulette and the like. A “top ten” list may be read here, but truly some of the craziest of the crazier games can be found simply be visiting Casino Tropez, as the software designers at Playtech apparently take particular pride in the wacky and unique.

One utterly familiar game (if not at all common in the online sphere) is Rock-Paper-Scissors. Playtech’s version was inevitable, one supposes, now that no less an “authority” than ESPN covered the nationwide finals last year.

Meanwhile, for a new experience – at least the Os Man’s hedging you’ve haven’t played this one before – give Tequila Poker a whirl. The virtual dealer deals four cards; the player may bet on a six-card stud poker hand or that the highest five cards in the hand will better 46 in total denomination.

Then there’s Wild Viking, the game with one seriously involved table. This wacky combination of poker and roulette with a splash of online slots and a progressive worth up to $1,000,000 is probably best explained by viewing Casino Tropez’ helpful tutorial video – and how many “other” games require a tutorial? Not many.
