Casino Games
Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the oldest casino card games and dates back as far as the 1400’s. The name Baccarat is derived from the Italian word ‘baccarat’ meaning zero. This refers to the fact that all tens, jacks, queens and kings have a value of zero. It also refers to any hand that has a total of zero e.g. A hand of seven and three also equals zero and therefore ‘baccarat’.
Blackjack
Blackjack, sometimes known as twenty-one, is the most popular casino banking game in the world. Players compete against the dealer rather than against each other in Blackjack. The game is played with one or more decks of 52 cards and the objective is to reach 21 points or a score higher than that of the dealer. The player must do so without exceeding 21 or the game is lost.
Craps
Craps is a dice game in which the players bet on the outcome of a single roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice. Players can bet money against each other or against the bank. Betting against another player is also known as street craps or shooting dice. Betting against a bank is known as casino craps or table craps. Like many other casino games, Online Craps has enjoyed increased popularity through the emergence of Internet gaming in recent years.
