You won't be able to play for real money like you can at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas, but you can enjoy a ton of casino games such as poker, blackjack, slots, and much, much more; if you'd rather try to build your own virtual casino empire, there are also assorted builder games to enjoy.

As far as available games, poker largely rules the roost on Facebook, with Zynga's Texas HoldEm Poker dominating the field. Claiming more than 50 million users, Zynga Texas HoldEm lets poker fans from around the world compete for play chips in both ring games and tournaments. The action is very similar to what you find on online poker sites, so online players will feel right at home, and the easy-to-use, intuitive interface will get new players to the game up and running in no time.

For more traditional casino game fans, there are many different Facebook games out there that let you play all your favorite games such as slots, video poker, roulette, and blackjack. DoubleDown Casino and Slotomania are two of the most popular providers of Facebook casino games, letting players enjoy their own little virtual Las Vegas. The slots games are especially popular, as cartoon animations and other bonus rounds definitely spice up the action and liven up the experience.

If you're already a player at other online gambling sites, Facebook is also a great way to keep tabs on all the current promotions and offers from the major sites, as nearly all have Facebook pages of their own. Popular poker sites such as Full Tilt, PokerStars, and PartyPoker not only update their Facebook pages constantly with news and promotional offers, but they also regularly offer special deals just to their Facebook fans, so it can definitely pay to follow all your favorite gaming sites on Facebook as well.
