Casino games are probably the most well-known gambling activity around the globe. Casinos offer a wide variety of casino games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, keno, slots, table games, etc. The main difference between these types of games is their rules and payout percentage.
Blackjack
This game consists of two players (dealer and player), one dealer and one player. The dealer deals each player an amount of cards in order to make sure that both sides have equal chances of winning. The objective of this game is for each side to get a total of 21 or more without exceeding 21. If you do exceed 21 then you will lose all your money and be sent home empty handed. If you manage to win, however, the house pays out at 1:2 odds which means that each time you win you get 2 times the original bet.
Roulette
Players can play with either European Roulette or American Roulette. In Euro Roulette there are 36 numbers on the wheel while in American Roulette only 37 numbers are available. Each number has its own probability of landing on it. For example, if the ball lands on red, the probability is 8/36; 0% of getting red. The same applies to other colors as well. If the ball lands on blue, the probability is 19/36; 50% of getting blue. All European Roulettes use sharp numbers where in American Roulette they use even numbers.
Craps
This game is played by two players; dealer and player. When someone bets, the dealer rolls the dice and calls out Pass when he sees 5 or 6, he calls Place when he sees 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 and he calls Don’t Pass when he sees 12. Then the dealer takes half of the bet from the player. After taking the wager, the dealer places chips along the inner edge of the table and proceeds to roll the dice until he gets a seven or eleven. The player who rolled the seven wins and receives his bet back plus interest. The winner also receives a new chip to replace the old chip. However, if the dealer rolls a twelve before rolling a seven or eleven, he must pay off the bet at once.
Baccarat
This card game is very similar to poker in some ways. It does not require any special skills in order to beat the house. The object of the game is to score higher than the banker. There is no strategy involved in this game but rather luck plays a major role. You should always know how much of your bankroll you will need to cover the maximum possible loss during the game.
Poker
Poker is the simplest form of gambling since the only thing needed to successfully play this game is a deck of 52 cards consisting of four suits (hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs) and 13 different face values. A standard poker hand contains two cards of one suit and three cards of another suit.
Keno
Keno is basically like playing lottery online. Instead of drawing numbers out of a hat, you choose numbers from a board and wait until they fill up. Once they fill up, you pick them. The first player to reach a specific number is considered to have won the pot. Most people would say that Keno is a lazy way to gamble because you do not need to think ahead of the game. However, playing Keno requires concentration and patience.
Slot Machines
Slot machines consist of three parts; the machine itself, the reels and the symbols. The reels spin and stop automatically depending on whether what symbol appears on the screen matches the symbol needed to stop the reel. Some slot machines allow you to select the speed of the reels so that you can control how fast they go when stopping depends on which symbol you want.
Black Jack
Black jack is similar to video slots except that instead of using buttons to increase or decrease the amount of money being wagered, you press a button that activates the reels. Like other forms of blackjack, the player’s goal is to get as close to 21 without going over. But unlike video slots, in blackjack, the dealer deals both him and himself cards, therefore, increasing the chance for the dealer to bust.
Video Poker
The objective of video poker games is to collect the most winning hands. Usually, five cards are dealt face down to each player and then eight more cards are dealt face up around the outside of the pack. Each player lays their cards down next to them and looks at their hand. If it is good enough to win, they push a button and take their prize. In general, there are four types of video poker: Joker Poker, Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker and Double Bonus Poker.
Roulette Wheels
A roulette wheel consists of 37 pockets numbered 1 through 36 and the odd pocket numbered 0. Whenever the ball lands in the zero pocket all bets are lost, regardless of anything else. On the inside of the roulette wheel, every red number has an even number of zeros while every green number has an odd number of zeros.
In Conclusion
The best casino games are those that offer excitement and entertainment. These games usually have high payouts and low house edge ratios. All these aspects make casino games ideal for players who want to place wagers with reasonable chances of earning profits.
