Our platform is designed for players who want to enjoy a traditional casino experience directly in their browser. We do this by offering educational guides, free-to-play practice simulators, and trusted information on where players can take the next step.
Our Story
CoolOldGames.com was founded in 2007 as a small website dedicated to classic tabletop games. Eventually, it grew into a large collection of expert playing guides for a wide range of tile, card, and table games.
Later, we introduced free-to-play versions of the games we wrote about, which turned out to be a success. The free games overtook the legacy guides in terms of popularity. Especially our free-to-play classic casino games gradually turned into some of the most played games on the site.
Our Mission
Like most projects and businesses, Cool Old Games constantly evolves. The expectations of our website’s visitors have gradually been changing. This is why, as of 2026, we have committed to an updated mission:
Our mission is to help players learn and enjoy classic casino games through free-play experiences. We use research and expertise to educate players, preserve timeless games, and provide the best free resources for practice and play.
Our slogan and mantra is: Learn, Play, and Win
- Learn: learn about the basics with our expert guides on rules and strategy.
- Play: practice with our free simulators and demo games.
- Win: potentially start winning with your newly gained practical experience.
