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 have just begun to navigate the waters of this sea of games and you are not sure where to dive, it is enough that you like table games, like 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 only the best ones. Here we will introduce you to the most popular ones, so that you will have a good start.

Baccarat

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

There are three different variations of Baccarat that are often played around the world: Chemin de Fer Baccarat (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 bit of 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 player’s hand is compared to the hand of the house. There are three outcomes to this game: the player wins, the house wins or there is a draw.

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

A player can bet on the house (the dealer) or the player, the choice is yours. Unlike Blackjack and other games that use cards and tables, the house does everything. The main objective is to get the score closest to nine.

Let’s say we bet on the player. If his hand consists of a seven and a queen, as the queen has a value of zero, our player gets seven points.

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

Now let’s talk about the scoreboard. We are happy that our player won, so we will 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 nine in baccarat, the first digit of the number is removed.

So, if we have 16, it would really 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 draw.

In order not to get any surprises, it is better to take into account the following information: In the case where the player has a seven and stands, (the player should stand whenever he has six, seven, eight or nine points), and the house draws four points; even if our player does not draw a card, the dealer will always draw a third card if his score is between 0 and 5.

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

Blackjack

A lot of people know this game by its other name, ‘twenty-one’. It is one of the most popular casino card games worldwide. 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 to 21 points as possible.

You can get 21 points with the first two cards, a move that is also known as “Blackjack”, or to win you can also 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 decks of 52 cards, and each denomination is assigned a certain value. From the second card to the tenth, each piece has its face value. Kings, Queens and Jacks are worth ten and Aces can be used as either one or eleven. The player must take a card so that together with the cards he already has he adds up to a value closer to 21, compared to what the dealer’s cards add up to. The player cannot go over 21 points.

The optimal sum is a two-card 21, or a Blackjack. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, which means that a two-card 21 on a $5000 bet will win $7500 instead of the usual $5000. However, if the dealer also has a two-card 21, the hand is tied and the player will receive his initial bet back. Only if the dealer completes 21 with three or more cards, the player’s blackjack will win and the 3-2 payout will apply.

Dice

When you are in a casino and you hear loud shouts of joy and clapping, you should know that you are near a craps table. If you want to join 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 total control in the palm of their hand of what is going on. You can pick up the dice, blow on them and throw them any way you want.

When you roll the dice, there are several combinations that you can bet on. There is the main game, known as Pass Line and No Pass Line, but there are also several combinations where the player can try to guess in advance what the dice will show. Here are some basic tips to get you started.

After the initial roll, a score of seven is a Pass Line loser (which is the most commonly known bet on the dice) – don’t even whisper the number seven when you’re playing the dice! If you missed the opening roll, you can create your own game by making a come-on bet.

In this type of bet, the same Pass Line rules apply, only you will be playing on the original Pass Line bet. If you are rolling the dice, be sure to roll hard enough so that the dice hit the back wall.

Roulette

If it can be very difficult and intimidating even for the players who regularly visit the casinos and sit at one of the gaming tables, imagine how 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 range from one to 36, 0 and 00. Pairs of odd numbers and pairs of even numbers alternate. The colors black and red are also alternated. Slots 0 and 00 are green. The house (croupier) spins the roulette wheel 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 lined up in three columns, each with 12 numbers. The first row is 1, 2, 3, the second is 4, 5, 6 and so on. The rest of the table is for the other bets in 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.

These were some of the most popular major casino table games and all the information presented constitutes the very core of their rules. We hope you enjoyed this article and now feel a little more ready to familiarize yourself with the table games.
