Jason bourne doesn’t know all the casino card games

Generally, one can find as many as 3 main types of casino card games. If you want to increase your chances of wins in these games, you better learn all the rules. The three games being Black Jack, Poker and Baccarat, you would not find difficulty in finding them in every other online casino..

Poker is played with a standard deck containing 52 cards, consisting of 4 suits – spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts, each containing 13 cards. The number of cards required in the game keeps varying. Generally, the variation can be in the form of use of jokers, and sometimes the ace is treated as the card with the lowest rank, despite its highest rank otherwise. It would not be surprising to find the ace to be used both as the lowest and the highest card in one single game. The use of joker is based upon the type of casino games being played, and it can find use in various combinations. And, at times, another card can also be used as a joker. And, the dealing of a fixed number of cards is based entirely on the type of casino games being played. In the variant, draw poker five cards are dealt, while in stud poker it can range from five to seven. Other variants of these popular casino games are Caribbean Poker and Omaha Hi.


Black Jack, also known as 21 is believed to have originated from one of the casino card games being played in France, “Vingt-et-un.” The American variation of the game is quite simple, but the rules cannot be altered under any circumstances. Generally, Black Jack is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, but sometimes even 2 decks are used in these card games. The dealers are constant and the shuffling is done by them, and the players cut the cards. Even though the dealing is done clockwise, but with the involvement of stakes and betting there can be alterations.

The third of the casino card games is the popular game of Baccarat, the favorite of James Bond. Baccarat is a betting game in which you can bet for the player hand, the banker hand or for the Standoff. Simple as these games are, it is more a game of luck and less a game of techniques. It is only experience and the knowledge of odds and possibilities that can help you to win in these card games. The game is also known as Punto Banco, and in most of the land-based casinos it is played in a different part of the casino. The Baccarat table is almost of the same size as the Craps table, and at one time there can be a maximum of 14 players on it. The cards are generally dealt by 3 dealers, but in some casinos it is also possible for players to deal the cards.
