Norwegian Casino Sites

The best online casinos for Norwegian players will provide a good range of slots, table games and live dealer titles from reputable software operators.

Games you can expect to find include:

Slots - Since state-regulated Norwegian sites do not offer slots, it’s not surprising that players in Norway enjoy playing slots at overseas sites. Interestingly, it is the classic three-reel slots that are most popular with Norwegian players. Progressive jackpot slots are also a big hit. This is attributed to the fact that Norway used to house plenty of land-based slot machines until gambling restrictions were tightened in the 1990s. 

Casino Poker - Poker is prohibited in Norway (you can’t even host a poker party at home) so the opportunity to play different forms of poker online is fantastic for Norwegian players. Texas Hold’em and 5-Card Poker are the most popular forms of poker with Norwegian site visitors. 

Blackjack - Most online casinos will dedicate significant space to blackjack, as it is seen as a core casino game. There are numerous variations of classic blackjack from the beginner-friendly single-deck blackjack to Atlantic City blackjack, blackjack switch, Spanish 21 blackjack, progressive blackjack and Vegas Strip Blackjack.

Roulette - European Roulette is the preferred variant among Norwegian casino players. However, they also play American Roulette and French Roulette. Many online casinos will also offer other variations such as mini roulette, Diamond Roulette and Live Speed Roulette.

Video Poker - Particularly suitable for mobile poker players, video poker offers high RTPs of around 98.50%. Video poker is not among the core selection of card games at online casinos, but the best Norway casinos should provide at least a couple of games. 

Baccarat - Baccarat is a popular game with high rollers and those looking for something elegant and refined. Played with cards and a pallet, baccarat encompasses three main variants - ‘Punto Banco’ or North American baccarat,  ‘Chemmy’ and Baccarat Banque. Live casinos may also provide Speed Baccarat or other variants such as Mini-Baccarat.

The majority of online casinos have some kind of welcome package in place to attract new customers and get them playing. The three main types of casino welcome bonuses for players in Norway are explained below: 

Matched Deposit Bonuses - A significant portion of welcome packages will feature a match deposit bonus. This could be on your first deposit, or the first couple of deposits you make, and means that the casino will match your deposit up to a specified cutoff amount, such as €500. There will usually be a minimum deposit amount and other wagering requirements may apply as well, so make sure you know what you are getting before you sign up.

Free Spins - One of the most popular features of welcome offers and regular promotions alike, free spins can act as a standalone reward or be part of a welcome package or larger promotion. Often you will need to use them within a short period and on specified games.

No Deposit Bonuses - This kind of welcome bonus used to be very popular but has become quite rare over the last couple of years. Casinos award new players free spins, bonus funds or a free bet simply for joining up with no deposit required. Sometimes, you need to redeem a code, or there are other conditions attached, but a no deposit bonus is still usually a good deal for players.
