The games
Every game, every variant
23 games from the casino floor and the online lobby, sorted by family. Each one starts with what it is and how it plays, then opens into the full rules, the strategies worth knowing and the odds behind every bet.
Wheel
Roulette
A wheel, a ball and a felt table covered in numbers. Roulette is the easiest casino game to learn and the one most players stay with for life.
How it plays
- 01Place chips either on single numbers (inside bets) or on wide groups like red, black, odd, even and dozens (outside bets).
- 02The dealer spins the wheel and drops the ball in the opposite direction.
- 03Wherever the ball settles, every bet covering that number is paid; everything else is lost.
European Roulette
2.70%The single-zero wheel, and the version most casinos run.
American Roulette
5.26%Double zero wheel. Same game, twice the house edge.
French Roulette
1.35%Single zero plus La Partage — the friendliest edge on the felt.
Lightning Roulette
2.90%Live dealer roulette with random multipliers up to 500x.
Cards
Blackjack
Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. The only casino game where your decisions measurably change the edge.
How it plays
- 01Every player is dealt two cards face up, and the dealer has one up and one down.
- 02Hit for another card, stand on what you have, split a pair, or double your stake on a good start.
- 03Beat the dealer's total without passing 21. A two-card 21 is blackjack and usually pays 3:2.
Cards
Baccarat
Two hands — Player and Banker — and you back one of them before the cards come out. No decisions after that, only a very small edge.
How it plays
- 01Choose Player, Banker, or a tie before the deal.
- 02Two cards go to each side. Picture cards and tens count as zero, and only the last digit of the total matters.
- 03Both sides draw a third card under fixed rules, then the closer hand to nine wins.
Cards
Poker
Some poker is played against other players for a pot, some is played against the house for a payout table. Know which one you are sitting in.
How it plays
- 01Learn the hand rankings first: high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush.
- 02Decide whether the game is player-versus-player with a rake, or player-versus-dealer with fixed payouts.
- 03Bet, call, raise or fold within the table limits, then show the best five-card hand.
Dice
Craps
Two dice, a come-out roll and the loudest table in the casino. Behind the noise, one of the best bets on the floor.
How it plays
- 01On the come-out roll, a 7 or 11 wins the pass line and a 2, 3 or 12 loses it.
- 02Any other number becomes the point, and the shooter keeps rolling until they make the point or roll a 7.
- 03Bet the pass line, take the odds behind it, and ignore the shouting.
Machines
Slots
Spin, match symbols, get paid. No decisions, no skill edge — just volatility, return-to-player and how long your bankroll lasts.
How it plays
- 01Set the stake per spin, remembering that most machines price every payline together.
- 02Spin the reels and match symbols on the paylines or cluster patterns.
- 03Wins land as multiples of your stake; bonus rounds and free spins carry the big numbers.

Specialty
Specialty & Live Exclusives

How it plays

- 02Read the pay table or multiplier rules before the first bet.
- 03Size the stake for the speed of the game — these rounds are quick.
