"ESL Extreme Masters: Pro Gaming" (CC BY 2.0) by wuestenigel
When it comes to online gaming, sport video games are amongst the most popular in the business. Every year, fans flock to their favourite stores on release day to purchase the latest soccer, football or hockey game – and the developers always seem to make a major adjustment or introduction that everybody loves.
From the best of Pro Evolution Soccer to the newest edition of NHL, avid sport gamers all over the world will have their own views on which video game is the greatest. We’ve had a look at three of the latest releases and given our thoughts on the pros and cons of these particular games; so scroll down and check them out.
FIFA 17
FIFA aficionados were excited to see the introduction of "The Journey"; a brand new, unique concept that incorporated many of the same features as NBA’s story mode. With old classics including career mode, Ultimate Team and online seasons, FIFA 17 caters for traditional soccer devotees whilst appealing to new players too.
On the whole, FIFA 17 has to go down in history as one of the most inventive and influential games in the series. The soccer game is famous across the globe and EASPORTS have clearly worked very hard to incorporate a range of new features for the latest edition. It still needs work on realistic movement and ratings - for instance, Manchester United are rated as the best team in England but in fact sit sixth in the Premier League table. But overall, FIFA 17 deserves plenty of credit.
Madden 17
With live messages keeping you up to date with breaking NFL news and results, Madden 17 has helped to bridge the gap between gaming and real life. In the career mode, you are praised and criticised by genuine journalists on in-game "social media" – all through your personal results and experiences in the game.
One way that Madden 17 could be improved is by incorporating more roster movement on a regular basis. Sometimes the servers can take a while to acknowledge trades and injury report news. Take the Green Bay Packers, priced at 5/1 to win the Super Bowl in NFL betting odds with bet365, for example; they are much stronger with star wide receiver Jordy Nelson fit and in the side. The Packers' offense should lose ranking points while he is inactive; regular updates would help to keep everything relevant to the real life situation.
NBA 2K17
The "2K17" franchise is the leading basketball game on the planet and it is also arguably one of the most entertaining video games on the market. If you’re an NBA fan, this is THE game for you – whether you’re new to gaming or not. There are a number of different difficulty levels and various game types, ranging from 1-on-1 contests to the NBA Finals.
With up-to-the-minute updates on America’s primary basketball division whilst in game, you can keep up with real life results and news. With the option to introduce Guest teams and MyLeague Expansions, NBA2K17 really does have it all when it comes to an overall well rounded gameplay experience. It truly is the perfect game for every basketball fan around.
When we
hear Bingo we think about the traditional offline game. It’s played all around
the world by a lot of people. And it’s not just for children or the elderly but
for people of every age.
The rules
of the Bingo game are simple. Each player gets a 5x5 card with random numbers
or letter/number combinations printed on it. Then numbers, or the letter/number
combinations, are completely randomly picked by a moderator, who announces the
drawn number to the player. If the drawn number is on the player’s card, he
marks it with a pen. The middle of the 5x5 card is in most cases already marked
on every player’s card. The moderator draws another number for the player to
mark. As soon as a player gets a certain pattern with the marked numbers on his
card, he wins by saying ‘Bingo!’ out loud. In most cases the winning patterns
are straight lines or diagonals.

Nowadays there is a huge list of games available for the players on every platform. Be it on your desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or else: You can jump ‘n run through levels, play fantasy games, solve puzzles, or gamble some.
Gambling is one big part of the online gaming community with many fans and players out there. One of the most famous game genre out there is the slot machine genre, where you can roll and hope for your lines to connect. Before submitting your bet, you choose which lines you want to play and hope to connect with similar pictures. In every game there are a lot of different pictures to arise, some of them hiding bonus spins, extra winnings or more secrets to explore in online games in Slot.
Due to the variety of different outcomes of a slot machine, there is no point where everything is exactly the same from the spin before. You can always look for something new. The games itself have different themed layouts. So if you’re a fan of animals, zombies, or the classic casino looking slot machines, you can play the style you want.

In a time before the
internet there was no discussion: Playing video games was just an offline thing.
People played on consoles or PC and to play multiplayer games your friends had
to sit next to you. Today, the online gaming has changed a lot, but is it a
good or a bad change?
The online gaming sector is very diverse. On the one hand classic video games have to be bought in retail or online stores and included single- and multiplayer. On the other hand there are a lot of games which are free-to-play, downloadable and online, including an in-game financing method. Compared to classic video games, these games can either be cheaper or more expensive depending on your play style and the game itself.
Online gaming brought a huge variety of games. Just think about any niche and there will be online games to play, no matter if you want to gamble, play a shooter, role play, or a strategy game. This whole gaming variety leads to bigger competition for all of the developers and people behind every game.
From the player’s perspective, this is an advantage. For example, if you want to gamble on a real roulette table, there are only a few options close by. They can choose the admission to enter the casino and the limits of each table. However there is such a huge variety of online casinos that not a single one of them could afford an admission without losing players. It’s quite the contrary, sites like casino.com offer even a bonus if you play on their site. Of course the classic offline casinos have a lot of competition with the online alternative many players choose. The same with video games and the retail stores: People can just buy their games via steam without leaving their house and sometimes even buy with a big discount.
Conclusion is that many developers struggle with the enormous competition but for the players, this is just another advantage.
