If you found your way to Casino card games from the Roulette wheel or Slot machine, Baccarat (a.k.a. Punto Banco) should be the first card game you play.

Why?

It's also a game of chance. Whether you win or lose depends on luck, there's very little place for strategies.

Unless you're talented in edge-sorting. But we all know what happened to Phil Ivey when he tried that, right?

The only strategy tip you need when playing Baccarat or Punto Banco is this: never bet on the Tie.

The Punto (Player) bet has a house edge of 1.24 percent, the Banco (Banker) - 1.06 percent. Meanwhile, you'd lose $14.44 of every $100 you bet on the Tie.

Video Poker is the only Casino card game that's not a table game. Instead, it's played on a machine just like Slots.

It may seem like a lonely or boring game from the first sight but it's anything but. If you choose the right Video Poker games, these machines have a payout that is better than Blackjack or Poker.

Set the coin value, draw cards to make a qualifying hand, and pick the right games to reach up to a 99.5 percent and higher RTP.

Best Casino Card Games for Poker Players

Let's be honest, some players swear by Poker games. So, naturally, at a Casino they play card games that resemble the card Poker.

It makes Oasis Poker, TXS Hold'em, and Casino Hold'em the best choice for Poker players.

Oasis Poker

Editor's rating8.5/10
Best forPoker players
Basic rulesBeat the dealer's hand with a better ranking hand. You get to see one card of the dealer's hand. Depending on your hand, you can switch some of your cards with new cards from the deck (it's paid). Then you raise (bet more and see the showdown) or fold (quit your hand).
Min/max bet1/40
Difficulty levelSimple rules but a semi-difficult strategy
Games onlineOasis Poker Pro, Oasis Poker Pro Low Limit

Many Casino Poker games are pretty straightforward and Oasis Poker is no exception.

Both you and the dealer get five cards each. So, from the get-go, you know what hand you have. Until the showdown, you only know one card of the dealer's hand.

You can improve your hand by switching one or more of the cards with new cards from the deck. But it's paid and rarely advised.

Then, depending on your hand strength, you raise or fold.

Want a tip? Switch cards only if you're one card short to Flush, Straight, Straight Flush or Royal Flush. Fold when you have less than an Ace-King high.

TXS Hold'em

Basic rulesBeat the dealer by having a better ranking card. Your hand combines two of your initial cards and three of the community cards.

Games onlineTXS Hold'em, TXS Hold'em Low Limit

If you ever played Texas Hold'em Poker with your friends, TXS Hold'em Casino card game will be easy to grasp.

The only differences from the classic Texas Hold'em game are these:

  • you play only against the dealer (not the other players)
  • there's no point in bluffing - the dealer plays until the end
  • your call (to see Flop) bet is always double your ante while the Turn and River bets are always equal to your ante

It's important to keep in mind that you'll need to make an ante bet and call bet if you want to play. That's at least $3 per hand.

After seeing the Flop, you can either bet more before seeing the Turn and River or check without making additional wagers.

Casino Hold'em

Editor's rating9/10
Best forNewbie Poker players
Basic rulesSimilar to TXS Hold'em Poker. You need to beat the dealer's hand. There's also a side bet available and the dealer needs to qualify for you to get better payouts.
Min/max bet1/100
Difficulty levelSemi-difficult rules and a semi-difficult strategy
Games onlineCasino Hold'em

Casino Hold'em is the easier version of TXS Hold'em game. Mostly because there are fewer bets involved - only ante and call bets.

The game is also faster - after you decide whether to call or not, you won't see the Turn and River cards one by one. You'll see them together right away.

But you can win both of your bets only after the dealer qualifies - has a Pair of 4s or better. If the dealer doesn't, the call bet is a push and only ante payout counts for the winnings.

AA Bonus is an extra side bet you can make. You'll win the bet every time your hand with the Flop (and only the Flop) shows a Pair of Aces or better.

Other Casino Card Games Worth Your Time

There are plenty of other Casino card games that every player should try. But today I'd like to share only two more games with you - Pontoon and Red Dog.

These games guarantee an exciting and different gambling session. You'll see.

Pontoon

Editor's rating9/10
Best forBlackjack players
Basic rulesSimilar to Blackjack. You also win by making a 5-card hand without busting. The dealer wins on all ties.

Games onlinePontoon Pro, Pontoon Pro Low Limit

Pontoon is one of the most fascinating Casino card games you can play online.

Essentially, it's a variant of Blackjack. But it features different terms and slight modifications in the rules.

For example, you get the best payout not only when you have a pontoon (a natural 21-point hand) but also when you have a 5-card hand.

After all, it's not that easy to draw until you have five cards without going bust.

Red Dog

Editor's rating8.5/10
Best forFans of simple Casino card games
Basic rulesThe dealer deals three cards: first and third face-up, the middle one face-down. You win if the middle card has a higher value than the first card but a lower than the third one.
Min/max bet1/100
Difficulty levelSimple rules and a very simple strategy
Games onlineRed Dog Progressive

Red Dog is the perfect game for Casino newbies. Both the rules and the strategy of the game are as easy as it gets.

You make your ante bet if you want to play and you get three cards. The middle one is facing down.

If you believe the middle card will have a value that's in between the first and third cards - you make a raise bet. If you're doubting it, simply call and play with your current wager.

The payouts depend on the spread - the number of possible cards that would make you win by ending up in the middle.

It's important to understand the spread because you should always take it into consideration before you raise.

As far as the Red Dog strategy goes, raise only if your spread is seven cards or more. Pretty easy to remember, isn't it?

THE DEAL CASINO

Each player is dealt four cards from the dealer with four cards face-up in the center. The deal is traditionally done two at a time, two cards to each player, two cards to the table, and two cards to the dealer. Remaining cards are set aside. After each player has played their four cards they are dealt four more from the remaining cards pile. After the first deal, no more cards are dealt to the table. This continues until all 52 cards have been played. When dealing the last hand the dealer must announce “last.” After the last hand has been played and scored the position as dealer passes to the left.

THE PLAY

The player to the left of the dealer begins and play moves clockwise. On their turn, each player must play one card from their hand by placing it face-up on the table. This card can be used to capture 1+ cards from the table. Even if there is or is not a capture, play passes on.

  • in the event of a capture, after other players have seen the capturing card, the player collects the captured card with the capturing card and places them in a pile face-down.
  • If there is no capture the card remains face-up on the table.

Possible types of play:

  • Capture with a face card, if you play a face card (King, Queen, Jack) that is the same rank as one on the table, you may capture a face card on the table. If there are multiple matching cards on the table you may only capture one.
  • Capture with a number card, if you play a numerical card (A and 2-10) you may capture any number cards of equal face value. You can also capture any sets of cards whose sum totals the value of the card played, under these restrictions:
    • cards within a build (see below) can only be captured by a card whose value is equal to the value claimed for that build.
    • if you capture a set, each individual card may only be counted as being within that set.

Example: A 6 is played, you can capture one, two, or three 6s. You can also capture two 3s and three 2s.

  • Form a Build/Building, number cards can be combined with other cards on the table if placed together. This is forming a build. They are made of a collection of number cards which are captured by a single number card according to the previous rule. Whoever is making the build must announce to the other players the value of the capturing card. For example, “building six.” Players must have the number card which can be used later to make the capture. There are two kinds of builds:
    • Single builds have 2+ cards whose face value add up to the value of the build.
    • Multiple builds have 2+ cards or sets, each set must equal the value of the build. For example, an 8 build may bee constructed with an eight, an Ace and a seven, 2 fours, or a five and a three. If a player holds an eight and there is a three and a five on the table, these cards may be combined to form a multiple build.

Builds must include the card you just played and may not consist only of cards on the table. Builds can only be captured as an entire unit and never cards individually.

  • Capture a Build with a number cards whose value equals the capture card of the build. If during your turn there is a build which you have made and/or added to, which no other player has added to since your last turn, you may not simply trail (see below) a card. You must either: capture a card, create a new build, or add to an existing build. Whatever you choose to play, you may not capture or add to builds if it will leave you without the card which is equal to the build. If you decide to capture a build you also have the opportunity to capture single number cards on the table which equal or add up to the value of the build.
  • Add to a Build in one of two ways:
    • Use a card from your hand to add to a single build. This increases the value of the capture for that build, provided, of course, you also hold the card in your hand which is equal to the new capturing value. You can also add cards from the table to this build if they are legal. Cards from the table, however, cannot change the value of the build. Capturing numbers of multiple builds cannot be changed. See the example below.
    • If a player holds a card which could capture a build, single or multiple, they may add cards from their hand or a combination of a card from their hand and cards on the table, as long as they are not already in the build.

Example: There is a building on the table with a two and a three, announced as “building 5.” If you have a three and an eight in your hand you may add the three to that building and announce, “building 8.” Another player may have an Ace and a nine, they can then add the ace to the building and announce, “building 9.”

When adding to a build you must use one card from your hand.

  • Trailing a card is an option if you do not wish to build or capture. The single card is put face-up beside the layout to be played upon later in the game. Play moves on. You may trail a card even if that card could have made a capture.

SCORING

Scores are tallied from the pile of cards each player or team has won.

  • Most cards = 3 points
  • Most spades = 1 point
  • Ace = 1 point
  • 10 of Diamonds (also called The Good Ten or Big Casino)= 2 points
  • 2 of Spades (also called The Good Two or Little Casino) = 1 point

In the event of a tie for either most cards or spades, neither player earns those points. The first player to reach 21+ points is the winner. If there is a tie you must play another round.

VARIATION

Royal Casino

Regular Casino rules apply but face cards have extra numerical values: Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, and Kings = 13. An ace = 1 or 14.

What Card Games Do They Play In Casinos

It is tempting in Royal Casino to hold the aces for longer so that you may make a 14 build.

Royal Casino is also played with the variant sweeps. This happens when one player takes all the cards from the table and the next player must trail. If a sweep is made, the capture card is put face-up on the pile of cards they have won. Each sweep is worth 1 point.

Scoring in Royal Casino follows this order:
