There are many things that are emulated on the web, such as a Casino, they copy and replicate the real thing, they have the same games, the same glamour, and are popular amongst the more serious of gamers that want to take it to the next step. You will find old casino style games on the NES, but these of course will not be played for real money.

Emulators are programs used to play the games. You can download actual games in the NES Games section.
