Categories of casino Games
|
Generally there are three categories of casino games: table games, electronic gaming machines, and random number ticket games such as Keno and simulated racing. Gaming machines, such as slot machines and pachinko, are usually played by one player at a time and do not require the involvement of casino employees to play. Random number games are based upon the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment. Random number games may be played at a table, such as Roulette, or through the purchase of paper tickets or cards, such as Keno or Bingo.

Top 5 Casino Games
|
With new casinos online and better and more lucrative tournaments each week, online gambling continues to heat up in 2008 with new gamblers trying their luck all the time. The dollars have been spent and the people have spoken. These are the top five casino games in 2008: roulette, blackjack, slots,
baccarat, and video poker.
|
Roulette
|
Roulette, the classic game which comes from the French word "small wheel", never seems to lose its appeal. Romanticized in the movies through the years, this game holds a gambler's fate in a tiny ball which can fall into one of 37 (European roulette) or 38 colored areas (American roulette). The number of potential bets are numerous, not only including simply red or black, but also on odd or even, high or low, or a single number, to mention just a few roulette bets. Casinos online have made this game even more popular.

Blackjack
|
Of all the games in Vegas and casinos online, blackjack is the one most likely to strike it big in 2008. What "Rounders" did for poker, the recent Hollywood release "21" is expected to do for blackjack, which means bringing the game to the mainstream to a whole new generation of gamblers. One casino recently launched a five-month blackjack tournament with a grand prize of, no surprise, $21,000.
Blackjack pits the gambler against the house in an effort to collect cards totaling as close as possible to the number twenty-one without going over. While the house has a clear edge in blackjack, knowing how to play in every situation (meaning by comparing the gambler's and dealer's hand) can lead to winnings if the player knows how to vary his bets.

Slots
|
Slots have also increased in popularity due to the increasing number of casinos online. Many sites are known for their huge progressive jackpots where the value of the prize grows each time one of the slots is played. Due to the incredibly large number of players betting on online slots, these jackpots have the capability to grow rather quickly.
Also, more and more, governments are realizing the value of slots to society. For example, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce recently announced its support for legalized slot machine gambling, in hopes that millions of dollars would be raised to support state education.
|
Baccarat
|
While less known than games like poker and blackjack, baccarat is extremely popular among certain gamblers (let us not forget famous secret agent, 007 James Bond.) Baccarat is available on many casinos online and dates all the way back to the 1400s. The object of the game is to bet on cards with a point total as close as possible to nine. Many casinos have introduced the game mini-baccarat, similar to the original but played on a smaller table.
|
Video Poker
|
Video poker machines can be found in many places and are great for individuals who may not be brave enough to bring their gambling skills to a crowded table. Video poker is based on five card draw and is played on a computer monitor which is roughly the size of a slot machine. These machines often offer better odds than casino poker and offer a multitude of poker game options. By playing video poker over time in certain establishments, a player can even win back comps.
