As the gaming industry swells in popularity, developers and publishers such as Microsoft and PlayStation are forever on the lookout for games that capture people’s attention. One category of game that’s become popular in recent years is casino games.
From Texas Hold‘em poker and roulette to slot machines and blackjack, gamers can enjoy simulated experiences on their consoles, all from the comfort of their own home.
In this guide, we take a look at some of the best Xbox casino games of 2023. We also look at the relationship between playing these games and winning real money and look at some popular slot games in which you can walk away with some extra funds in your back pocket.
First, let’s take a look at some of the best Xbox casino games you can play in 2023.
Console game developers have often looked towards the casino gaming market to attract new players to their consoles. But there has always been something lacking in the subsequent titles that have been released.
The problem with simulations
The main problem for console developers is that their casino-based games have always been simulations when in reality, serious casino players prefer the features and benefits of real games. There are players who enjoy playing casino simulations rather than the real thing, often as a break from the intense world of console gaming, but their numbers are limited.
So we have serious casino game and poker players on one side and hard-core gamers on the other and there seems to be no way of bringing these two audiences together.

Pure Hold’em: Full House Poker was released on the Xbox One and provided a decent poker gaming experience for the genre.

Prominence Poker was another title that made a great attempt to make a simple simulation game more interesting. It featured amazing graphics and an assortment of underground gambling dens for players to visit on their way to grabbing the virtual pot.
