A Guide To The Most Popular Casino Games

Everyone knows the general look and feel of casino games. But if you’ve never played, then the prospect of wagering some of your hard-earned cash can feel a little intimidating. After all, if you don’t know what you’re doing, then you’ll be much more likely to lose — and quickly, too. Fortunately for newcomers, there is a selection of popular games that you’ll find in more or less every casino. If you know how to play the games that we outline below, then you’ll be able to enter any casino in the world (or online) and be confident that there’ll be at least one game you can play.  

Roulette

Roulette is arguably the most popular casino game because of how easy it is to play. After all, you can learn the roulette basics in a matter of minutes, which is something that you cannot say of other casino favorites, such as poker. It’s easy to get the basics of roulette, but it’s also possible to dive deeper into the game by studying the most effective strategies, which can improve the players’ chances of success.

Poker

Poker isn’t just one of the most popular casino games — it’s one of the most popular games, period. There are plenty of people who love nothing more than gathering their friends for a fun evening of poker! It’s not hard to see why this game holds so much appeal. It’s challenging and requires skill, but there’s also a big element of deception and luck involved too. You’ll need to dedicate an hour or two to get the basics of the game down (and be warned: there are different types of poker, the most popular variant being Texas Hold’em.). Once you understand how to play, you’ll have a lifetime of gaming to look forward to. 

Blackjack

Blackjack is probably the most popular card game at a casino, in large part because you don’t need to know all that much to begin playing. The goal of the game is simple enough: get as close to 21 with your dealt cards without going bust (bust = over 21). You’re playing against the dealer, so if your hand beats theirs, then victory will be yours. This is a game that you can practice again and again at home with just one other person. You won’t need any special equipment other than a deck of cards.

Slots

People have been playing slots for nearly 130 years, and there’s every chance that they’ll be playing slots for 130 years more, too. Why? Because the game ticks every box that beginner games look for. It’s easy to play (in fact, since it’s based nearly entirely on luck, there’s no skill required), there are countless different slot games available including the old school slots as well, and you can win big. Most newcomers to casinos start with slot games because of the ease of play and lack of stress — unlike other casino games, players don’t need to worry about keeping face in front of a dealer or other players since it’s just them and the machine. 

Craps

Craps is probably the most iconic casino game. If you’re at a casino and you hear people celebrating and all-around having a good time, then, chances are, they’re at a craps table. This game is popular because, unlike card games, there aren’t really many strategies you can use to improve your odds. In other words: it’s a simple game. All you need to do is throw the dice and hope that lady luck is on your side. 

There are plenty of other popular casino games, but none get anywhere close to the popularity of the games mentioned above!
