Online games are great, right? There’s nothing quite like winning the jackpot while you wash your hair or striking it lucky in your dressing gown, but there does come a point when you think, what next?

There are plenty of online games out there but if their popularity continues to increase, we will all soon get bored of those on offer and start to look elsewhere for our gaming gratification.

But fear not grumpy gamer, 2012 brings a light at the end of the tunnel. This year heralds some new games and old classics that you just have to try. If you’re sick of slots, bored of blackjack and tired of tables then this article is for you.

Here are four brilliant online games to take your gaming year by storm, enjoy!

Deal or No Deal Jackpot

This Deal or No Deal online game is exactly what you’d expect from an online remake of Noel Edmonds’ hugely popular TV gameshow. The 26 red boxes are there, the banker is present with his usual frustratingly witty offers and only he stands between you and whatever sum is in your box (or not as it may be!).

All you have to do is pick a box at the beginning and watch the drama unfold. Place bets on what you think might be in your box and also, what that crafty banker will offer you next.

Find a jackpot token in your box and you could be in line for a win of life-changing proportions! Lucky players will be entered into the progressive jackpot game and a huge reward could well be yours.

Remember, the longer you play and keep big money on the table, the more The Banker has to offer you. The only question is, will you hold your nerve and see what’s in your box or will an attractive offer from The Banker tempt you to part with it?

Millionaire Jackpot Quiz

If you love the television show then the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire online game is certainly for you! You could win £40 before you know it with this brilliant adaptation of the hit TV show.

Answer all the questions correctly and ascend the 15 levels of the prize pyramid to win the jackpot. Get this far and you receive three gold coins and the chance to win big with the progressive jackpot.

This is brilliant for Millionaire fans and people who like to test their general knowledge skills, so what are you waiting for?
