Blackjack is based on the popular card game 'pontoon' or '21' and blackjack is a major gambling attraction at casinos, where you will always find a number of blackjack tables and experienced casino dealers.

When playing blackjack at casinos, players do not rely on just luck, but are able to employ skill and blackjack strategies, often based on gambling experience. Players who master the skill of playing blackjack, whether gambling online using the Internet, or playing blackjack with a dealer in a casino, generally have a realistic chance of winning at the game of blackjack.

Craps (previously known as crabs) is a casino dice game. Craps is a simplification of the Old English game hazard. Players wager money against the casino on the outcome of one roll, or of a series of rolls of two dice.

Craps can also be played in less formal settings and is said to be popular among soldiers. In such situations side bets are more frequent, with one or several participants covering or "fading" bets against the dice.

The object is to assemble a hand of two or three cards with a points value as close to nine as possible. The perfect hand is one that totals nine in the first two cards. Eight is the second-best hand and, along with the nine, it constitutes the two "natural" hands. The only hand that will beat a natural eight is a natural nine. If any players hand or the Bank has a natural eight or nine, the others may not draw a third card. In a tie, bets are called off.

Aces count as one, picture cards as 10 and the others their face value. If your hand total is in double figures, then the first figure is ignored. So a hand totalling 18 would count as eight.

The player with the most money is usually is declared the banker - this is the casino in Baccarat Banque and rotates in Chemin de Fer. The banker deals three hands of two cards each, face down. These hands are for two players, one to the right and one the left of the banker, plus his own hand. Other players at the table may bet on either hand (cheval) or both to beat the banker's hand. If a player declares "banco", it means they are betting the total value of the bank's funds and all other bets are withdrawn.

If either player has a count less than eight or nine, he may stand (saying "non") or get one more card face up (saying "carte"). The player must stand on six or seven and must draw on four or less. Casinos usually take their percentage of the bank and bets as their fee for the game.

Baccarat (pronounced bakəraː) is a simple game with only three possible results - 'Player', 'Banker' and 'Tie'. The term 'Player' does not refer to the customer and the term 'Banker' does not refer to the house. They are just options on which the customer can bet

In order to place a bet in Roulette, chips must be purchased from the croupier. The chips used in roulette differ from those used by the casino and are usually arranged in six or seven different color sets of 300. The table is laid out in such a way to contain 38 different numbers with a wide variety of betting options:

Outside bets

Any bet that does not specifically include one of the 38 numbers is considered an Outside Bet. The Outside Bets in Roulette are Red or Black, Odd or Even, Low or High, Columns, and Dozens.

Red or black

Red or Black simply means betting on the colour of the outcome. Wins are paid in even money. The same goes for Odd or Even, which is based on whether the outcome will be an odd or even number. Low or High bets allow the player to place bets on whether the number will fall on the numbers 1-18 or 19-36. This is also known as even money bet. Column bets are made by placing chips at the end of one of the sets of 38 numbers designated by the words "2-1," which pays back two to one if the outcome falls in the selected column. A Dozens bet is made by placing chips on the areas separating the numbers into three dozens and also includes a 2 to 1 payback.

Inside bets

Inside bets are placed on specific numbers or number combinations. The total sum of the bets must meet the table minimum and betting options include Straight-up Bets, Split Bets, Street Bets, Corner Bets, and Five Number Bets. Making a Straight-up Bet means placing chips on one of the 38 number options with a payback of 35 to 1. A split bet means placing chips on two different numbers adjacent to each other on the table with a payback of 17 to 1 for a winning combination. Street Bets allow betting on three different numbers by placing chips on the outside edge of the chosen row. The payback is 11 to 1. To make a Corner Bet, chips are placed at the intersection of four different numbers with an 8 to 1 payback. A Five Number Bet only has one betting option, placing chips on the corner intersection of the 0 and 1. To win the payback of 6 to 1, the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, or 3 must be included in the outcome.

Casino roulette

Casino roulette dealers continue to accept bets after the ball has been dropped. Betting is over when the dealer waves his hand and verbally declares it as such. When the ball comes to a halt, the number is called out by the dealer who places a clear plastic container over the winning number and chips before clearing away losing bets from the table.

The House Advantage is important!

So we will stress it again: On a single zero roulette table the house advantage is 2.7%. On a double zero roulette table it is 5.26% (7.9% on the five-number bet, 0-00-1-2-3). The house advantage is gained by paying the winners a chip or two (or a proportion of it) less than what it should have been if there was no advantage. It is clear that the table with the better odds on it is the one with less numbers i.e the European Roulette table.

Object of the game

To win at roulette the player needs to predict where the ball will land after each spin. This is by no means easy. In fact, each spin totally independent of any other and it is impossible to predict where a ball might fall. Some players go with the winning numbers calling them 'hot' numbers and therefore likely to come up more times. Others see which numbers did not come up for some time and bet on them believing that their turn is now due. Some players bet on many numbers to increase their chances of winning at every spin, other players use specific roulette systems or methods, money management systems, or both. What you will learn on this site is there is NO mathematical system that works and anyone can work out the best odds without paying for them and play for fun and maximum profit.

Video Poker is a game that that requires both skill and chance, bridging the gap between slot machines and table games for many players. It's still easy and fun to play, but you have the potential to maximize your gains by being able to put the odds in your favour, making it a more involving playing experience. In most casinos video poker machines, (when played correctly) give a lower house edge than other online slot machines. When video poker machines first appeared in casinos the only game played was Jacks or better draw poker. Today, there are over 100 variations of the game and they can all be played online.
