Casino games can get pretty exciting. Some examples include slot machine games, video poker, scratch cards, etc. These are mostly played either individually or in combination with each other.
Slot Machine
The most popular of the casino games. In a typical slot machine game, you will be given several coins and then play for your chance to win some real cash prizes from playing through a set of spinning reels. You may also choose to play more than one game at once on multiple slot machines. If you win big, you’ll get paid in the form of cash credits.
Video Poker
This is similar to playing cards but there are no rules. Instead of face-down cards, the player gets to see their hand on the screen. The goal is to match five identical symbols and when that happens, they win! The key here is to pay attention to the odds against you. For instance, if you have four aces and one king, you better hope that the next card turns up something else!
Scratch Cards
Not to be confused with scratch bands, scratch cards are lottery-type games found across America. These cards consist of three layers. On top is the picture layer, followed by the text layer, and finally the hidden image layer. When you scratch through the first two layers, you reveal the image underneath. The prizes range anywhere from 25 cents to thousands of dollars. The biggest prize a single scratch card has ever given out was $40,000. The average value is much lower though, somewhere in the neighbourhood of $2-$3 per card.
Card Games
Typically these games come with a deck of cards. A dealer deals out a certain number of cards. Then the players pick which cards they want to keep and discard the rest. After this step, the dealer shuffles the remaining pile and deals them all out again. Play continues until someone wins by having the highest total value. Some of the most common card games include Rummy, Crazy Eights, War, 21, Three Card Monte, and many more.
Keno
This game looks like a keno from back when people played cards. First, you pick one of the many numbered balls and try to match the number drawn. As you continue to match the numbers, you keep adding more balls into your pot until eventually, you reach the last number. And you can win! One thing to note is that some machines offer a bonus for matching certain combinations and paying off early. Some payouts are very generous. A few casinos give away free rounds to see who wins the most. Don’t worry; the casino doesn’t lose anything because they buy their tickets and sell them to players.
Baccarat
This gambling game is similar to Blackjack. It also involves placing wagers and taking risks but instead of playing against the dealers, you play against the bank. The bank acts as a third person in the game, acting as the judge to determine if you have lost or won. You can bet on the banker or you can bet on yourself. If you choose to go with the banker, you must bet at least 35% of the total pot. If you bet on yourself, then the minimum bet is 10%. While baccarat may seem a little confusing, the main idea behind it is simple. You guess which hand the banker holds and try to get closer to 21 than the banker without going over.
Roulette
This is another popular casino game that pits the player against the odds. To start the game, each spin of the wheel will land on a random starting position — either red or black. Once the ball lands on green, it begins rolling around the circular track. At the end of the game, the player will have to bet on what colour he thinks will turn up. He could bet on red or black, both or neither. Oddly enough, roulette wheels are usually coloured red and black. But sometimes they can be red and white or black and red. Each time the ball comes to a stop, the computer spins the wheel and adds the points together. If the player bets on red and the colour end up being black, he wins. If the ball lands on black, his bet loses. If the colour was red, he loses. If the colour is neither, then he keeps whatever he got betting on red. So, the average person who plays roulette just once per week stands a chance of losing over $10,000. But, as long as you know the odds, you can beat it.
