For decades, going to the casino was the only way to get some good gambling action. However, the future is here, and with it came many gambling activities. Now, you can spin slot reels, place bets, and scratch lottery tickets right from your home. We listed the top five gambling-related activities you can do without leaving the comfort of your own house!

Online Gambling

Now, you are probably wondering why we dared place online casinos on a list of gambling alternatives. Well, there is a huge difference between gambling at a real-life casino and spinning slot reels on your phone. First of all, these excellent sites are the perfect thing for anyone that is after some casino action but does not want to leave the comfort of their own home. They are brought to life by crème de la crème software providers that have decades-worth of experience in the industry. You can choose between thrilling slots and exciting variants of poker, baccarat, blackjack, and roulette. Players can even sit down at live dealer tables, which are hosted by professional dealers.

Sports Betting

Another fantastic alternative to gambling is betting at online sportsbooks. In the past, people would need to go to a shadier part of town to place a bet. Now, you can wager on sports without leaving your house. The best online sportsbooks cover a large variety of sports, ranging from football and basketball to golf and darts. Most bookies even offer a specials section, where visitors can bet on award shows, political events, and song contests. Lastly, we must mention that virtual sports betting is on the rise. Meaning you have one more category to place a wager on even when your favorite teams are on vacation.

Lottery

Lotto tickets have been around for centuries and are a proven form of entertainment for millions around the globe. The tickets usually cost only a few bucks but can make you filthy rich. There are all kinds of lottery games for you to choose from. Ranging from the Powerball and Mega Millions to the EuroJackpot, EuroMillions, and Thunderball, you are not likely to run out of options.

Moreover, you can choose how and where you want to play. If you feel like going the traditional route, you can purchase a lottery ticket from a real-life parlor and watch the drawing live. If you do not feel like leaving your home, you can easily find tons of online lottery sites right from your sofa.

Computer and Mobile Games

If you want an even more different experience than traditional slot machines and poker tables, video games could be the thing for you. First off, there are tons of simple online games you can play for free and get a similar adrenaline rush from. The best part is that you are not even tied down to one device. You can choose between computers, your smartphone, gaming consoles, etc.

Playing a quick online game to pass the time can prove just as fun as going to the casino. Plus, some VR games include casino gambling as part of the gameplay. This will get you one step closer to the action, but it will not hurt your budget.

Poker Night

If online gambling is not your thing, consider hosting a poker night with your friends or family. All you need is a table, a deck of cards, and some refreshments. This way, you get to spend quality and fun time with your favorite people while being thoroughly entertained by this legendary card game. We have not even mentioned the best part – you get to make all the rules. You do not even have to gamble with real money, and there’s no house edge to worry about.
