BLACKJACK, which is based on the card game 21, or pontoon, is one of the most popular table games due to the fact that players do not have to rely on luck alone. Instead, it is the way they play that determines whether they win or lose…

Blackjack is played on a semicircular table, which is operated by a dealer who shuffles and deals the cards, pays out the winning bets, and collects losing bets…

The card values in each players hand are added to give the scores. Cards from 2-10 inclusive have their face value. Court cards (kings, queens and jacks) are worth 10. Aces have an initial value of 11, decreasing to 1 if the hand subsequently exceeds a score of 21.

Blackjack, the highest hand possible, is an ace plus any card worth 10. Only the first two cards dealt can make a blackjack. Cards dealt to a split hand do not count.”

The rowdiest game in the casino is called dice, also called craps, a fast and exciting game with a language of its own. Players shout, cheer, scream, curse, and gesticulate. The shooters elaborately shake the dice, blow on them for luck, and yell for them to fall on the desired score, while the stickman commentates incessantly. For novices, dice appears complicated due to the arrangement of the layout and the terminology used, but it is actually quite simple once the basic aim of the game is understood…

Roulette is played on a large table which is printed with a betting layout. At one end of the table, a wheel encased in a wooden cylinder turns on a central spindle. The wheel is divided into 38 sections numbered from zero to 36 inclusive, plus a section numbered double zero (00).

Consecutive numbers are arranged opposite each other on the wheel. Each number is colored either red or black and the zeros are colored green.

The aim of roulette is to predict the number on which a ball spun around the wooden cylinder will land. The ball is spun by hand by a dealer and must make at least three revolutions before dropping into one of the numbered sections on the wheel…”

Poker conjures up images of saloons in the old West where hustlers and gun fighters did battle….Nowadays, playing poker is not so risky. Players may lose their stake, but at least they stay alive…
