The Most Played Live Casino Games

Blackjack

Blackjack is regarded by most players as one of the most skillful live casino games. It is to possess a hand value greater than the dealer's hand but less than 21 points. Players do exist who make use of card-counting techniques or odds devices that can increase their chances of winning.

In addition to basic blackjack, some of the most well-known variants include:

• European Blackjack – One of the more popular forms where the second card is dealt to the dealer only after the player has moved. It has the subtle impact of increasing slightly the house edge.
• Free Bet Blackjack – The player may double or split certain hands for free, the casino covering the bet. But things like pushing dealer 22 ruin the deal.
• Spanish 21 – A rule variant offering more flexibility as all the 10-value cards are removed from the deck, but players can even start special plays like doubling on any quantity of cards and bonus payoffs for specific hands.

Roulette

There is an attempt in roulette to predict where the ball will come to rest when the wheel is stopped. There are two main varieties provided by most live dealer casinos, American and European. American roulette has 38 (double zero) pockets, and European roulette has 37. One may place bets on one number, groups of numbers, colors, etc. Another common method is to bet on the same group of numbers and increase the bet after each loss, then revert to the original bet when winning.

There are also other variations of roulette:

• French Roulette – Same as European but with 37 pockets and particular rules such as La Partage and En Prison.
• Lightning Roulette – Automatically hits "lightning strikes" that add multipliers on certain numbers with up to 500× stake prizes.
• Mini Roulette – Scaled-down version of the game with 13 pockets (12 numbers 1–12 and zero).

Baccarat

Since its origin in the 19th century, baccarat (Punto Banco) is a live casino staple because it is so easy to play. The objective is to wager on the winner—the banker or the player—by scoring the highest points nearest to nine.

Picture cards are not counted, aces are one, and the rest are face value. Popular live baccarat games include:

• Speed Baccarat: Round time is approximately 27 seconds.
• Chemin de Fer: Classic French baccarat in which the players take turns playing as banker. Players have greater control of the actions.
• Lightning Baccarat: Includes random multipliers on the cards which increases the possible winnings.

Poker

In poker, one is dealt a number of cards (between five) and must construct the best available hand. Whoever has the best hand wins. Live casinos typically include:

• Three Card Poker – A quick version in which players are dealt three cards and attempt to beat the dealer with the best hand.
• Texas Hold'em – Players create the best five-card hand from two hidden cards and five community cards.
• Caribbean Poker – Competing against the dealer with the potential to win a progressive jackpot.

• Sic Bo – A traditional Chinese dice game where players bet on the outcome of three dice.
• Craps – A fast-paced game of wagering on the outcome of a roll of two dice.
• Lightning Dice – Randomly places multipliers on numbers, with betting on the total of three dice.
