8 Moves to Make an at-Home Online Casino Play Pod
Enjoy the casino experience at home every night!
1. Make room to play: Show your home some casino love and carve out your own gaming space for endless action. Game-up an extra bedroom, the den, basement, garage, attic, outdoor shed, or even just a corner of a room. Playing solo on your smartphone for the night? Sharing a seat at a Live Dealer table with friends? Hosting an online casino tournament with the neighbors? An online casino play pod is perfect for any gaming experience.
2. Design it your way: Choose a theme to establish an overall look for your new mod pod. Bring it all together with a gaming table, paint, artwork, furniture, rugs, lighting, accessories and more. Besides being a casino pit add other games like a dart board, foosball table, retro games like Pac-Man, or whatever gets your competitive juices flowing. Be creative. Have fun with it!
3. Equip yourself for a great time: Stock your casino play pod with tech accessories to maximize enjoyment and performance. When you’re in the thick of a game, you want things to run smoothly, go fast, and look visually top of the line. Think about adding these accessories to the mix:
- Remote keyboard – Type and play faster and easier using a full-size or WiFi keyboard
- Webcam – See other players you invite into your space
- Wireless mouse – Better flexibility to play more games
- WiFi router & signal booster – Strengthen your internet connection for smooth play
- Headset – For multiplayer games so you don’t miss a comment
4. Think big, blow up the fun in your online casino play pod with a larger screen: Your screen makes all the difference with online casino apps!

Goldilocks yourself just the right one(s) to help avoid body aches, tuck in more comfortably for a long session, and keep friends and family coming back for more. Variety is the way to go:

6. Change the game with sound: Game developers spend a lot of time perfecting the sounds that populate your favorite online casino apps. Good speakers take your play to a whole new level and really bring all the action to life. Whether just on your headset or broadcasting to the room, here’s how to make your at-home casino experience better:
- Level up audio settings on your device
- Update your operating system on your device
- Use surround sound
- Connect to a speaker
- Splurge on a new headset or headphones
7. Start the show, lights, streaming, action: Some like to play under the covers in the morning. Some go all out with colorful light shows to please the crowd. Be creative to achieve the feel you want for your at-home casino experience. Transform your space or game night with:
- Floor or desk lamps
- Chandeliers add a glamorous casino vibe
- Recessed ceiling lights
- App-controlled smart lights to control colors, strength and timing
- Portable lights that plug into your computer or mobile charger
- Ceiling light projector to cast stars, clouds or lasers around the room
- Disco lights
- Strands of twinkle lights
- Ambient light from your device
8. Serve up plenty of fun, drinks, eats & treats: Set up your casino play pod, sit back and relax, and wager your way to a good time with total casino immersion. Stock up on your favorite beverages, snacks and candy. If the play is away from the kitchen, install a mini fridge in the room or go all George Constanza and get a recliner with a built-in mini cooler. For wow factor add a popcorn machine, pizza maker, vending machine, or install your own bar.
