Advantages of Playing Online Games

The disadvantages of the internet in general and online gaming in particular are known to everyone. However, when it comes to development and improvement of thinking abilities, it turns out that playing online games has many benefits.

We all know that playing computer and online games is fun. Therefore, we cannot take our eyes off our PC screens even if the phone is ringing, our favorite TV show is about to begin or our dinner is burned on the stove.

All of us have already heard bad things about this amusing pastime. We all know that online games are addictive; they can cause you and your children to spend valuable time in front of the computer on the expense of work, school and family obligations. Playing video and internet games on a regular basis can isolate you from human companionships, distort your sense of reality, shorten your sight, damage your back and basically mess up your life.

Let's put it this way: if you or someone you know is doing nothing but playing online games, it is something to worry about. However, most online gamers tend to adopt a less radical approach towards their habit. Then, when talking about milder cases of addiction, online gaming is less harmful habit than watching Dr. Phil, for example.

Actually, the habit of playing online games has many advantages that the habit watching bad TV is lacking. Recent research has shown that playing puzzle and word games decreases the risk of Alzheimer disease while watching daytime television increases the risk.

Many other researches have proved the positive effect of playing online games on the youngsters' mind. Word, puzzle and trivia games enriches the children's speech; classic computer games such as Tetris benefits the kids' ability to focus, analyze shapes, think and plan ahead; board games like backgammon and chess can help in the area of thinking skill and so on.

While watching TV is completely passive, you are required to do nothing but stare, overhear and open bags of chips, playing computer games, still not an Olympic sport, require you more often to recall that grey substance inside your head.

Additionally, playing online games is less solitary act than most people think. First, many types of games, including shooting games, sports games, backgammon, billiard and chess, are two or multi player games in which players can compete against each other. Additionally, most gaming sites add several features that encourage interaction between gamers including forums, chats, multiplayer games and tournaments, etc.

The bottom line is that online gaming, if taken in a reasonable dosage, is the opposite of harmful. Thanks to many of the online games advantages and their contribution to thinking skill development, parents can allow their children to play them, and play them themselves.

Free online backgammon games

Backgammon has exploded on the internet in recent years. Whilst there are many who want to play the cash matches and tournaments games where you can win big prizes, lots of players are looking for free backgammon games. If that’s you, there are a number of options out there for you. This article tells you all about them.

Free Multi-Player Backgammon at Pay-to-Play Sites
All the cash sites we’ve some across will let you play practice games for free. So you can download and try their games for free before deciding whether to start playing cash games and maybe win some prizes. You’ll be playing against other free-players just for fun and to hone your skills. This is a great way to learn the game and of course you get chat and other social features. The pay-to-play sites also have the best, most up-to-date gaming software so you’ll find some amazing graphics and user features.

Bonus games and free credits on pay-to-play sites
Many of the pay-to-play sites will give you free credits, bonuses and promos to encourage you to play at their site. Sometimes you’ll get free credits when you first join the site, just for registering. And sometimes you’ll be offered free bonus credits when you deposit a certain amount eg “20% on to of your deposit”. You can use your credits to play Backgammon as normal, though if you win you can't usually withdraw your winnings until you have made a certain amount of real deposits and played a certain amount of games. Bonus offers are generally short term promotions so you need to look out for them.

Free Multi-Player Backgammon sites
There are multi-player Backgammon sites where the games are always free. You can often win prizes at these but they’ll be smaller than on the pay sites, and tend to be merchandise and entries to sweepstakes rather than the bigger cash jackpots offered by the pay sites. Such sites are funded by their advertising revenue so you may have to put up with lots of pop-ups and banners while you play. But they're still fun to play at and you’ll get the social features of multi-player gaming.

Free Backgammon Solitaire
Many of the general gaming and ‘skill game’ sites include single-player Backgammon where you are effectively playing against the software. You’ll usually need to download the game software though some can be played online without a download. The software is free unless you want to play their upgraded version, which will have additional features like extra versions of the game, enhanced user options, better graphics etc.

Free Backgammon games for your PC
As a further option, you could simply download some free Backgammon software from one of the many ‘shareware’ sites and play individually on your PC against the software.

So now you know what your options are. It's up to choose you which type suits your preferences. The next step of course is to choose between the sites that fall into each category...but that's another topic! Fortunately you'll be glad to know that there are places out there that can save you the time and effort of all that research. For an extensive and objective review of the best backgammon games out there (and a whole load of other backgammon resources)
