The World’s Most Popular Casino Table Games

The traditional table games casino that have dominated the scenes are Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps, and we will explain why they have their appeal. Note: All table games contribute 5% to bonus wagering.

Baccarat

This game appeals to those who want to apply some strategy and skill to their game. The number to beat is 9, and the two main parties are the banker and the player. It starts with the dealer handing players two face-up cards each and then taking two for himself. 10s and face cards - Queen, Jack, and King - are worth 0, while cards 2-9 are worth their face values. Ace is 1. Only the last number of the total counts when a hand exceeds 9, which means a 6 and a 9, which totals 15, will count as 5. A 2 and 4 will be equal to 6.

The gameplay is quite simple. Once the cards are dealt, players and the dealer make their moves as guided by their hands. A natural 9 (4+5) wins, and the game ends immediately. If no one has a natural 9, the participants will decide how to move by either drawing another card or standing if adding a card could lead to a bust. The rules dictate that a player shall draw a third card if their hand is between 0 and 5, and they must stand if they have 6-8. The winner is whoever gets to 9 or as close as possible before the others.

Craps

Instead of cards, Craps involves two 6-sided dice. When the dice are rolled, the outcome could be anything among those numbers. A natural roll is 7,11 to pay out 1:1. This game relies heavily on chance, and anyone can play it. Craps is found on the Table games at Casino Olympia, with some demos to just play for practice, especially if you’re playing it for the first time.

Roulette

This table game has three variations: European, French, and American. The French and European versions have 37 pockets, with 36 coloured red and black, and the last one labelled 0 being green. Their house edge is 2.7$%, but the French version has two additional rules for when the ball lands on 0 on even-money bets that reduce the house edge further to 1.35%. The numbers are aligned non-sequentially on the wheel to balance between low and high for fair distribution, and bets can be on numbers or colors. The American version has an extra pocket with 00 that increases its house edge to 5.27%.

The gameplay is usually quite simple: select and place your bet when playing for real money, press the button to spin the wheel, and then wait for it to settle. Since these games are developed with RNG technology, you can count on the decisions being fair with no human interaction. The bet sizes start from $1 all the way to $500 for high rollers.

BlackJack

The king of online casino table games for real money has to be Blackjack for its combination of wit and grit. Player and dealer go against each other, with each getting two cards to get started. The player has two face-up cards while the dealer keeps one hidden and can peek for blackjack before making a move. The plan is to get to 21 before everyone. Once the hands are dealt, the player makes the first move, which could be ‘stand,’ ‘hit,’ or ‘double down,’ and then the dealer makes their move.

Blackjack is played with 6-8 decks of cards, all assigned values. Ace is 11 or 1, depending on the value of cards making up a hand, while King, Queen, and Jack are each valued at 10. The rest retain their face values.

Other fast-paced table games that you will find at Olympia are Sic Bo, Keno, Video Poker, and Poker, and they are all provided by organizations such as Ezugi, Evolution Gaming, and NetEnt. The RNG games are certified for fairness, while their live casino counterparts are overseen by professional dealers.
