When I tell my wife I’m going to spend the evening in the online casino playing poker with the boys, she smiles. She knows that the online casino is eight paces down the hallway to my study which I have painstakingly converted into a real online gambling den.

A contractor came in and laid deep pile carpeting on the floor and erected an acoustic ceiling. These two items, combined with my collection of books which line the walls, soak up all the excess noise and make the room nice and quiet. So quiet, in fact, that it is possible to clearly hear my surround music center which plays ‘music to gamble by’, all written by Mozart, Beethoven or Haydn. Sometimes I play the works of one of the other romantic composers, but those three masters are my favorites. The music is non-stop and the volume is set so that the music is just audible, unlike the music in a real land based casino which is set so loud that the gamblers cannot think. I like to be able to think very clearly when I am inside my online casino.

As far as the games on offer in this intimate online casino, every gambling game imaginable is available. The games are played online in any one of a dozen top class casino sites. The games are shown on my 36 inch computer monitor and the pictures are so real that the players feel they are in a real casino. My personal favorite is roulette. This game provides me with all the excitement I need. When I want to win money, I change to blackjack which allows me to make some of the gambling decisions and is the only game I ever manage to win at consistently. For really wild excitement I play craps but the satisfaction level is lower than roulette. Sometimes when I entertain visitors and I want to give them a real buzz and let them feel what the grand tables in the casinos of Monaco are like, I switch to Baccarat, but one can lose one’s money so quickly in this game that the excitement is short lived.

Drinks are freely available in my online casino, but only one kind of drink – single malt Scotch whisky. I pay for these bottles of liquid gold from my blackjack winnings so the money is recycled to good purpose. You didn’t think I would serve coffee in this plush online casino, did you?
