The top casino card games: Poker, Black jack and Baccarat

Black Jack, Baccarat and Poker are the three main types of casino card games, and you can increase your odds of winning by learning the rules of the game. All these games are so much popular globally that they are played on almost every other online casino.

The standard deck of 52 cards containing 4 suits each of diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades is used in order to play Poker. However, the number of cards used in a game keeps changing. For example, sometimes even jokers are used in a variation of Poker, while it is also found that the ace is used as lowest rank card. It is not uncommon to find the ace being used as both the highest and the lowest ranked card in a single game of Poker. Joker can be used in different ways and in different combinations on the basis of this games type that is being played. It is not surprising in Poker if another card is used to play the role of joker. The dealing of specific number of cards keeps varying from one game to another. For example, 5 cards are dealt in Draw Poker, and in Stud Poker 5 to 7 cards can be dealt. Caribbean Poker and Omaha Hi are the other popular versions of these games.


One of the most popular casino card games in the world, Black Jack, or 21 originated in “Vingt-et-un,” the French card game. Across the Atlantic, the American version of Black Jack is simple to play, but involves quite rigid rules. However, it is not surprising to find usage of 2 decks in these card games. The game has constant dealers, who do the shuffling, and the players cut the cards. Usually, a clockwise pattern is followed in order to deal the cards, but there could be alterations on the basis of the involvement of stakes and betting.

The third major casino card games are Baccarat, which is quite famous for being the casino game played by James Bond. The bet is made for either the Player Hand or the Banker Hand. And, occasionally there also is a chance of a tie. Baccarat is one of the simple card games, but good skills can mean a higher chance of success. However, there is no specific way or method of wining at the game. This is a simple game of chance, and the knowledge about all the involved odds can help you turn the game in your favor. It is to be noted that these card games, also called Punto Banco, are generally given separate playing area in land-based casinos. The Baccarat table is almost similar to the craps table, and there are 14 players and 3 dealers on it, with the dealer count being constant. The bet is basically made either for the player hand or the banker hand, and sometimes even for a Standoff. The cards are dealt generally by the dealer, but you can also find some casinos that allow the player to deal the cards.
