So whether you’re into games of chance like slot machines or bingo or card games like poker and blackjack, there’s a game for you in the casino that you’ll spend many hours with. Here are some casino games that might interest you.
Slot Machines
Slot machines are the staple of every casino. It’s one of their cash cows. So much so that every casino has an entire floor dedicated to slot machines. These rooms are filled with unique slot machines from one corner to the other. And the best thing about slot machines is that you don’t have to read a strategy or instruction book to try and understand the game.
Slot machines work by pressing the start button after putting in your bet. Once you press it, the symbols on the screen will spin, and depending on the pattern of symbols you get; you’ll win a prize. There are patterns that you should go for, as obviously, not all patterns have a prize. Slot machines also come in different themes. Are you feeling a little naughty? There are stripper-themed slot machines, or are you into Star Wars? There are tons of them too.
Roulette
If you’ve come to a casino even once before, you may have noticed a wheel spinning somewhere in the casino. Chances are that you’ve seen a roulette wheel. This game is also one of the classic games out there. The roulette wheel is full of different numbers and colors, and all you have to do to play this game is to predict which place the ball will land after the wheel stops spinning.
The only difficulty this game has are the different types of bets you can wager on. For example, you can bet which color the ball will fall into or which number. You could also bet if the number the ball will fall in is odd or even. It’s easy, and the payout is particularly good depending on the type of bet you wagered on.
Baccarat
This is also one of the most simple online casino games that is fast-paced and uses the traditional deck of cards. In this game, you would have to guess whether the banker or the player will have the higher value of cards; it’s that simple.
The player and the banker will be dealt with two cards, just like blackjack. However, in this game, the winner will be the highest value among the two hands. Face cards have a value of zero while aces are equal to 1. Also, the second number will only be valued if the hand gets over two digits.
For example, if the player’s hand equals 12, it will only be valued at 2. If the banker is higher than 13, which equals 3, then the banker has the advantage. At this point in the game, both the player and banker will then get to draw 1 card each to further improve their hand. If the player draws a 6 of any suite, then his total ends up at 8.
Unless the banker draws a 5 of any suite, they end up in a tie. However, if the banker draws a 6, then his total is a 9 which automatically wins the deal for the banker. In some casinos, when a banker has a total of 8(against a player hand with lower value) or a 9, then the banker automatically wins the deal. This rule is often part of the house edge.
Blackjack
Not everyone likes blackjack, but most casino-goers will argue that it’s the best game in the casino. The game works by the players and dealers being dealt with two cards. The player’s cards will be faced up while only one of the dealt cards of the dealer will be faced up. The game’s goal is to be as close to the number 21 as possible or at least more than the dealer.
If you think your card is insufficient, you can say “hit,” and the dealer will deal you another card. If you think you have a winning hand, you can say “stand,” and your hand will stand by your bet.
People like blackjack because the game is simple, and it involves a little bit of both luck and strategy. And no, you don’t need to be a math whiz to win in this game. Just a little bit of knowledge, in addition, will do. However, some people employ the technique called “card counting,” where they try to figure out whether the dealer or player will have an advantage on the next hand.
This technique requires a good amount of knowledge about chances and deck shuffling. The problem is that many casinos prohibit this technique as they count it as cheating, which is, to be fair, quite true.
