Basics in the Major casino card games

Black Jack, Baccarat and Poker are the three main types of casino card games, and you can increase your odds of winning by learning the rules of the game. All these games are so much popular globally that they are played on almost every other online casino.

A typical deck of 52 cards with 4 suits of 13 each diamonds, spades, hearts and clubs is used in order to play Poker. However, the amount of cards needed to play the game keeps changing from one variation to another. In some variations, the jokers are also used in the game, while in others the ace is sometimes considered as the lowest ranked card. The ace sometimes gets used as the lowest and the highest ranked card in the same game of Poker. Joker can be used in different forms and combinations on the basis of the games that you are playing. In some variations, other cards are also used as a joker, sometimes. Dealing a specific amount of cards varies from one form of these casino games to another. For instance, in Draw Poker 5 cards can be dealt, and in Stud Poker, 5 to 7 cards can be dealt. Other popular variations of these casino games include Caribbean Poker and Omaha Hi.


Black Jack or 21 is considered to have originated from one of the French casino card games, “Vingt-et-un.” In American casinos, the rules for this game are plain but quite rigid. Played using a 52-card deck, it is not uncommon to find two decks being used in these games. In Black Jack, you will find the dealers to be constant. While the player cuts the cards, the dealer shuffles them. Generally, the cards are dealt in the clockwise direction, but there can be variation on the basis of the betting and the stakes.

The third of the casino card games is the popular game of Baccarat, the favorite of James Bond. Baccarat is a betting game in which you can bet for the player hand, the banker hand or for the Standoff. Simple as these games are, it is more a game of luck and less a game of techniques. It is only experience and the knowledge of odds and possibilities that can help you to win in these card games. The game is also known as Punto Banco, and in most of the land-based casinos it is played in a different part of the casino. The Baccarat table is almost of the same size as the Craps table, and at one time there can be a maximum of 14 players on it. The cards are generally dealt by 3 dealers, but in some casinos it is also possible for players to deal the cards.
