Online Casino Game

Online Casino Game - American Baccarat

You can find several versions of baccarat at online casinos (as well as land based casinos), since this popular game has transformed into several similar games with slight rule variations. One of them is American Baccarat, which is a popular version that you can play as a Online Casino Game. It is similar in some ways to European baccarat but there are some slight differences - in American baccarat you are playing against the House and the casino provides the financial backing for the game, while in the European version of this Online Casino Game, the house has no direct involvement in the betting. The dealer or "Croupier" makes sure the rules are adhered to and that everything runs smoothly, and the equipment the Casino takes a percentage commission, or rake, (usually 5%) on all winning Bank hands. In this Online Casino Game, the player has the option of either drawing or standing on five (In the Nevada baccarat the player automatically hits if he has total of 5 or less), while the play of the banker is completely optional.

Online Casino Game - European Roulette

Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino games in the world and the classic version is known as European Roulette, which is also one of the simplest to play at the online casinos. If you have a choice at your favorite online casino to play either European or American roulette, it is recommended to play the European version of this Online Casino Game. That is because the odds are better since it has one less slot than the American Wheel (no double 00 on the European Roulette Wheel), so this Online Casino Game consists of a wheel with 37 slots and a ball that can land with equal chance in any of those stops. Here the players make wagers by placing chips in the betting areas of the Roulette table, and once all bets are placed, the ball is spun and eventually lands on a number. Then the wagers placed on the winning number or on groups that include the winning number are paid a multiple of the bet, and the house collects all other wagers.

Online Casino Games - Blackjack

Maybe Blackjack is the most well recognized and popular Online Casino Game, and that is why it can be found at just about every online casino and ranks amongst the most popular games online. The basic idea of this Online Casino Game is as it follows - Blackjack cards rank 2 through 10 are scored according to their face value, all face cards are 10 points, and Aces are semi-wild and can be worth either 1 or 11 points. The highest hand in Blackjack is an ace and any 10 point card and is called a blackjack ( or a natural), and usually a winning blackjack pays 3 to 2. In the event when both player and dealer have a blackjack the bet is a push, and beside a Blackjack, a winning hand pays even money. Also, the player wins if his hand has more points than the dealer, without going over 21, and because a 21-point hand is the highest and is why the game is sometimes called 21. In case, in this Online Casino Game, either the player or dealer goes over 21 it is called a break or bust and they automatically lose the round, and if the player and dealer tie the bet is a push (nobody wins).
