Online Casino Games to Play During Super Bowl Halftime

by Bodog Casino | Jan 21 2009

The Super Bowl is an exhausting event.

Two weeks of endless, unmatchable hype. Like 12 hours of pre-game coverage. And a halftime show seemingly longer than the game itself. All so we can watch two teams most of us don’t follow duke it out for a trophy and some rings. Oh and we also watch for the sports betting (at least that’s a positive).

We’re not even sure who is performing at halftime, but judging by past musical choices we’re sure it’s a group knocking on death’s door. That’s why we’ve got a better way to pass that endless halftime celebration, or even the pre-game hype – Bodog’s Online Casino.

You can play for money, you can play for free, and the best part is there’s no pre-game madness.

But specifically what casino games should be played? Although halftime takes forever there isn’t time to play all 100-plus games in the Bodog Casino.

We’ve give you some choices.

Blackjack

This choice should be obvious to you. No matter how many different games we play, at some point we all dabble in a little “21”.

With its easy-to-learn strategies and mainstream appeal Blackjack is the perfect game to pass the halftime even if you’ve barely touched an online casino.

For those who don’t know, Bodog’s online Blackjack is played with four decks and the dealer hits soft 17, and the best part is you can bet as much as $500 on each hand or as little as a buck so you don’t go through all your cash before the halftime performers take stage. Play the game with the optimal strategy and you’ll have extra cash available to place some second-half prop bets.

Video Poker

We love us some Texas Holdem, but you’re not going to be able to truly enjoy your time playing the game with a room full of drunken friends. That’s why we suggest playing a version of poker more reliant on the cards you’re dealt than the players you’re facing.

There are 16 different versions of Video Poker, and in each one the object of the game is to make a five-card hand that matches the paytable located to the left of your Video Poker screen.

Believe it our not, Video Poker is one of the best games for players in terms of House Edge, so we suggest you check this game out if you’re Super Bowl bets aren’t exactly going as planned.

Let ‘Em Ride

You ever check out our article: the Top 10 Casino Winners for 2008? Well if you did you’d know that Let ‘Em Ride was one of the hottest games of 2008. So we suggest getting on the bandwagon at Super Bowl halftime.

Best part is the game is pretty simple: Place a bet (an extra dollar if you want a piece of the progressive jackpot), get five cards (three face up, two face down), and decide whether or not you want to “Raise” or simply continue in order to see the last two. Get a pair of tens or better and you win. That’s it.

With so much going on at halftime, whether you’re drinking beer or making side bets with friends, Let ‘Em Ride is an easy way to make money without requiring your full attention.
