The opposite to a dedicated video gamer.
Casuals are generally new to video gaming and have small experience.
Common definitions of Casual gamers are...
1. Don't play games that often
2. Gamers limited to a few popular mainstream genres (sports, racing, FPS) i.e Call of Duty. They don't expand to other types of genres (RTS, TBS, RPG) i.e any strategic game.
3. Gamers who play recreationally; for fun, rather then play more competitively
4. An insult used by more hardcore/elitist gamers who believe casuals are gaming scum (for most of these reasons)
5. Gaming Rookie or Newbie (not noob)
6. Those who play more simpler games (Facebook games, Flash games, Mobile Games, F2P). See 2. as well
7. Undedicated gamers (cheap computers and console/handheld users).
It's all to one's opinion and perspective.
Also, casuals sometimes get caught in the crossfire of ''The Great PC vs Consoles War'' where the ''PC Master Race'' duke it out with the ''Console Peasants''. Though it doesn't happen usually.

A football hooligan dressed in certain types of brands. Today the most ordinary brands are Burberry, Stone-Island, Aquascutum and CP Company. It started in the early eighties in Manchester and Liverpool but has now spread to the rest of Europe.

A casual is typically kicking back and rocking a casual beer with a close friend. When drinking a beer, instead of pounding, shotgunning or any other form of quickly downing a beer in a typically uncomfortable fashion, the casual is much more relaxed and leisurely in nature. The casual is typically for after dinner, a study session, a work shift, or a long night of partying to discuss the events of the day.

The polar opposite of a Hipster.
A person obsessed with being normal, or is extremely attached to social norms. They are usually anal retentive, judgemental, and often force the people around them to avoid violating their comfort zones. For most, this is impossible, because the comfort zone of a Casual is beyond massive. In fact, people 50 miles away violate it by picking their nose.
Casuals are at high risk of suffering a mid-life crisis because they never experiment, and discourage those who do.
Christian parents are Casuals.
