Canadians love their online games. Whether it is free online games, casino and slot games or Multiplayer online battle arenas, Canadians are up for anything. The long cold winters are certainly a factor which makes them stay at home and enter the world of online gaming, but most of the time it is the Canadians’ desire to simply win at anything they get their hands on that drives them to play these games.
Online Slots
When someone mentions online slots, the first thing which comes to mind is winning huge jackpots. People don’t play slots merely for the fun of it, they play them for those enormous payouts. Slots come with some inherent risk in them, but all casino products do when you think about it.
Canadians love to add a little risk to their game playing experience and playing these games gives them a chance to do just that. Many Canadians often visit sites like Jackpot City for example, where in addition to the games they play, they can also get their hands on some amazing jackpots which are on offer.
Popular online slots such as Fluffy Favourites, Age of the Gods, Beach Life, Deal or No Deal, and Circus of Cash provide Canadians with excellent opportunities when it comes to increasing the levels of excitement, but also the amount of money they have in their pockets.
This type of online games enable players to pit their luck and wits against some highly sophisticated RNG controlled machines and more often than not players get exactly what they paid for. Canadians may not win money on every spin, but the excitement which comes with these classic and modern online slots is rarely matched by other games.
Free Online Games
Simple online games such as chess, backgammon, mahjongcon, various simple racing, soccer, adventure and war games, as well as simple to play simulators are also popular with Canadians.
These games are very easily accessed and all a player needs to have is a simple version of a flash player to play them. They might not seem like games that can be played for a long time and indeed they are not games that will keep you entertained for days on row.
However, there is one simple reason why Canadians choose them and that is to kill time. Whether it is on the bus home, while waiting in a line or during a boring work meeting, Canadians play simple online games to make time pass more quickly.
MOBAs
Multiplayer online battle arenas, or MOBAs as they are simply known, are by far the favourite pass time activity for Canadians. These include games such as Dota2, League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, Vainglory, Arena of Valor, Battlerite, and Heroes of Newerth to just name a few. The list here is actually quite long as there are new MOBAs coming out every month and the MOBA industry is so competitive that game studios try to outdo each other on monthly basis. Not many MOBAs make it for more than a few months, but those that do become instant classics and Canadians seem to love them.
The main reason why they do is probably because these MOBAs combine the need for strategic thinking and planning while at the same time allowing players to get maximum excitement through the various dopamine and adrenaline shots that these games ‘inject’. Canadians are known for loving extreme challenges and their love for MOBAs is in line with this thrill seeking character trait that they possess.
League of Legends seems to be the most popular MOBA of them all with Canadians and the Riot Games product which was released in 2009 has managed to stand the test of time and has been an ever present part of the life of the average Canadian gamer for a decade now.
The game enables players to team up and play against other teams on various different battlegrounds. The characters in the game are called Champions and Canadians seem to prefer Champions such as Amumu, Sona, Taric, and Jinxdue to their high win rate. The fanbase in Canada is quite dedicated to achieving the best possible result in League of Legends and with the quality that the game offers you really cannot blame them.
