Which are the Finest casino card games?

Mainly there are three main types of casino card games. And, if you want to be successful in them, it is important that you are aware of the rules of the game. These games can be categorized broadly as Poker, Black Jack and Baccarat, and these games are played in almost every online casino on the planet..

Poker is played with a standard deck containing 52 cards, consisting of 4 suits – spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts, each containing 13 cards. The number of cards required in the game keeps varying. Generally, the variation can be in the form of use of jokers, and sometimes the ace is treated as the card with the lowest rank, despite its highest rank otherwise. It would not be surprising to find the ace to be used both as the lowest and the highest card in one single game. The use of joker is based upon the type of casino games being played, and it can find use in various combinations. And, at times, another card can also be used as a joker. And, the dealing of a fixed number of cards is based entirely on the type of casino games being played. In the variant, draw poker five cards are dealt, while in stud poker it can range from five to seven. Other variants of these popular casino games are Caribbean Poker and Omaha Hi.


One of the most popular casino card games, and in fact the most popular casino games among all is Black Jack, also called 21. The origins of this card game have been traced to the French casino games of “Vingt-et-un.” The American variation of Black Jack is very easy, but the rules cannot be altered. However, the number of decks used in these games can either be 1 or 2. The dealers remain regular and they do the card shuffling, and the players do the card cutting. Even thought the cards are generally dealt clockwise, but on the basis of different stakes and betting, there can be changes.

Baccarat is the casino card games being played by the famous character of James Bond. A betting game, the main objective of a Baccarat player is to bet the winning hand. There could be three results in the game – the banker hand, the player hand or a tie. Simple to play, these games require good amount of skill. However, there is no particular method that can help you to win the game. Baccarat is basically a game of chance, but your chances of winning increase when you learn all the odds and possibilities. Punto Banco, another popular name of these card games, are generally played in a different part of the casino. A Bacarrat table is sized as much as a craps table, with space for 3 dealers and 14 players. The two basic bets are the player hand and the banker hand, and rarely there is a Standoff. Generally, it is the dealer who deals the cards, but in some casinos players are also allowed.
