Roulette is played on a European single zero layout, whereas the slots are mainly classic, three-reel machines. If this is a deal breaker for you, you can stick to newly released high quality casino games; such games you can find and play here.
4. Test Drive Unlimited 2: Casino Online
There have been some discussions whether Test Drive Unlimited 2 can be considered a casino game only because of its add-on TDU 2: Casino Online. However, this is a fantastic game with amazing graphics and impressive casino feature. Your character can enter a world class casino where table games and slots are offered. Everything about this casino feature is so authentic, that it easily can beat all the other casino titles featured on the list. Just like many other Xbox games, TDU 2 gives you the chance to customise your avatar, progress through 10 levels and play with up to 31 other players at the same time. Because of mild suggestive themes, simulated gambling and inappropriate lyrics, this game got the T (Teen) ESRB rating.
