Blackjack

 

Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is the most widely played casino banking game in the world.   Blackjack is a comparing card game between a player and dealer, meaning players compete against the dealer but not against other players. It is played with one or more decks of 52 cards.   The object of the game is to beat the dealer in one of the following ways:

 

• Get 21 points on the player's first two cards (called a "blackjack" or "natural"), without a dealer blackjack

• Reach a final score higher than the dealer without exceeding 21

• Let the dealer draw additional cards until his or her hand exceeds 21

 

 

 

Craps

 

Craps is a dice game in which the players make wagers on the outcome of the roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice. Players may wager money against each other (playing "street craps", also known as "shooting dice" or "rolling dice") or a bank (playing "casino craps", also known as "table craps", or often just "craps").  Because it requires little equipment, "street craps" can be played in informal settings.    In a casino, players make bets with chips on a specially made craps table with a "layout" – a table cloth made of felt that displays the various betting possibilities, which vary somewhat in bet presence, position, and payout among casinos.   The tables have the shape of a bathtub, about 14 feet (4.3 m) long, 5 feet (1.5 m) wide, about 28 inches (71 cm) above the floor at the bottom, where the layout is, and about 24 inches (61 cm) from the layout up to the rim of the tub.

 

 

 

Roulette

 

Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even.To determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (in French/European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

 

 

 

Texas Hold'em

 

Texas hold 'em (also known as Texas holdem, hold 'em, and holdem) is a variation of the card game of poker. Two cards, known as the hole cards or hold cards, are dealt face down to each player. and then five community cards are dealt face up in three stages. The stages consist of a series of three cards ("the flop"), later an additional single card ("the turn") and a final card ("the river"). Each player seeks the best five card poker hand from the combination of the community cards and their own hole cards. If a player's best five card poker hand consists only of the five community cards and none of the player's hole cards, it is called "playing the board". Players have betting options to check, call, raise or fold. Rounds of betting take place before the flop is dealt, and after each subsequent deal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 Card Poker

 

Three Card Poker is a casino table game based on poker.  It incorporates two modes of play. The Ante and Play wagers play in competition on the player hand against the dealer hand. The Pair Plus wager is paid on a pay scale basis that the player hand will be a pair or better. In most casinos both the Ante and the Pair Plus are optional, but there are some casinos in which the Ante is mandatory.
