Not everyone likes to play slots at online casinos. Although machines constitute the largest percentage of entertainment in any type of online casino, there are many other options you can choose from if you are interested in different casino games. Let’s review a list of casino table games so that we have a better perspective of how they are played and what is required to play them.

If you are just starting to navigate the waters of this sea of games and you are not sure where to dive, you just need to like board games, such as cards, to know that you are in the right place. At the very least, you should have a basic knowledge of everything related to cards and board games in casinos in general. Each and every one of them is available on our site, not just the best. Here we’ll introduce you to the most popular ones, so you get off to a good start.

Most popular board games in Casinos:

Baccarat

This game is considered one of the most important in terms of bets and winnings, it got its reputation thanks to James Bond movies. Baccarat can also be played with regular bets. Many people know this game by the name of Punto y Banca.

There are three different variations of Baccarat that are often played all over the world: Baccarat Chemin de Fer (or simply ‘Chemmy’), Punto y Banca (or ‘American Baccarat’) and Baccarat Banque (two tables away).

In Baccarat Banque and Chemmy, both players can make their own decisions, which brings a little talent to the game. In Punto y Banca, everything is a possibility, pure luck, without any strategy. Baccarat is easy to understand, it is a game in which the hand of the player is compared with the hand of the house. There are three results for this game: the player wins, the house wins or there is a tie.

The cards from two to nine are worth what is shown on them. The queen and king have a value of zero each. The ace is worth one.

Let’s say we bet on the player. If your hand is composed of a seven and a queen, as the queen has a value of zero, our player adds seven points.

The house has a two and a four, which equals six points, which means it will be defeated by the player, seven out of six. In this case, our money has just doubled.

Now let’s talk about the scoreboard. We’re happy that our player has won, so we’ll bet again, double and follow the recipe. The player has a nine and a seven, numbers that add up to 16. When the numbers go beyond the nine in baccarat, the first digit of the number is removed. So, if we have 16, it would actually only give us six points. The house got two eights, so it’s also 16. The first digit is removed and it’s also six points. In this case the result is a tie.

The house deals the cards face up, two cards each for both the player and the dealer. The winner is the one with the score closest to nine. The prize is easy to calculate, doubling the amount you bet first.

If you bet on the house and the croupier wins, you will be paid 95% of your bet, and the other 5% will be given to the casino as a commission. If the house or player receives a total of eight or nine, both must be planted.

If the player adds less than five points, he will receive another card; otherwise, the player will be dealt. If the player stands, the croupier will take a third card as long as he has between 0 and 5 points.

The tie bet option pays 8 to 1.

Blackjack

Many people know this game by its other name, ‘twenty-one’. It is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Unlike baccarat, when it comes to Blackjack, you are the player, and you will be facing the dealer. The main objective is to beat the dealer’s hand in some way.

You have to get as close as possible to 21 points. You can get 21 points with the first two cards, which is also known as “Blackjack”, or to win it is also possible to wait until the end of the game and get a score closer to 21 than the dealer. It is also possible to get a more discreet score and let the dealer take cards until he exceeds 21 points.

People usually play Blackjack with one or more standard 52-card decks, and each denomination is assigned a certain value. From the second to the tenth card, each piece has its face value. Kings, queens and jacks are worth ten and aces can be used as one or eleven. The player must take a card so that together with the cards he already has, it adds up to a value closer to 21, compared to the sum of the dealer’s cards. The player may not exceed 21 points.

Today, most games are played using four, six or eight different decks. After the dealer shuffles them, he places the cards in a place called a “shoe”, from which the dealer can easily draw one card at a time. One or two deck matches are most popular in Nevada, but they are also very popular in Mississippi and other regions. In this case the cards can be dealt directly from the dealer’s hand.

The real game begins when the player makes a bet by stacking one or more chips on the square of the table in front of him. After each player has placed his bet, each of them, including the croupier, receives two cards. In a shoe game, each player’s card is dealt face up and they are not allowed to touch their cards. In a game of one or two hand-delivered decks, cards are dealt face down and players may pick them up, but using only one hand. In either case, one of the dealer’s cards is placed face up so that the players can see it.

Craps

When you are in a casino and you hear loud cries of joy and clapping, you should know that you are near a craps table. If you want to join in the fun, the first thing you have to do is learn the basics of this game. What makes craps special is the fact that it is the only casino game that allows the player to have full control in the palm of his hand of what happens. You can grab the dice, blow them and throw them as you like.

Roulette

If it can become very difficult and intimidating even for players who regularly visit casinos and sit at one of the gambling tables, imagine what a person who has never played will feel. The different games, the high dynamics, the sets of rules and guidelines, the upper and lower limits, the tricks, among others, are things that can become confusing and overwhelming.

Roulette consists of 38 slots and each slot has an assigned number. The numbers go from one to 36, 0 and 00. Pairs of odd numbers and pairs of even numbers alternate. The colors black and red also alternate. Slots 0 and 00 are green. The house (croupier) spins the roulette in one direction and then spins a small ball in the other direction. The ball falls into one of the slots after rolling, when it stops.

The table is designed so that the numbers, not including 0 and 00, are aligned in three columns, each with 12 numbers. The first row is 1, 2, 3, the second row is 4, 5, 6 and so on. The rest of the table is for the other bets on the game in question. There are two types of bets, internal and external. In addition, it is possible to make an unlimited number of bets.
