Baccarat -
Baccarat (BAH-kah-rah), James Bond’s favorite, has always had a reputation as a rich man’s game. The minimum bets usually start at $20, so it’s not for the budget sensitive gambler.
The game looks comlex. There can be up to 16 players and eight decks of cards.
One of the dealers shuffles the cards, then places them in the shoe.
Players then deal. One player, called the banker, deals to one other player.
The winning hand is the one totaling closest to 9. You may bet on either the player or the banker to win, or that the two will tie (not a great bet).
Each hand is dealt two cards face down from the shoe. The player placing the highest bet turns over the player’s hand. The banker does the same for his cards and the banker announces the winner.
To determine the winner, the two cards in a hand are added together, then10 is subtracted if the total is 10 or more. Face cards count as zero.
In the event of a tie hand, those who bet on the tie win and the hand is replayed. Tie bets typically pay 9-to-1.
Mini-baccarat plays the same way, except the dealer controls the shoe and there’s a maximum of seven or eight players. The minimum bet is also usually lower. $5 tables are common.
Roulette -
As with slots, this is a game of chance, not skill. The odds of hitting any number on the wheel are the same every time around…most of the time anyway…
In 1873, the Briton Joseph Jaggers made the first famous biased roulette wheel exploit. Mr. Jaggers, with a team of six accomplices, carefully observed all the wheels at the Monte Carlo casino and found one wheel with significant bias. By taking advantage of this flaw they managed to win over $325,000, an astronomical sum in 1873.
There are many strategies to betting…Check the roulette page for more details and strategy tips.
Craps -
Craps is a deceptively complex game. As with roulette, the mechanics of the game are simple, but the variations possible make the game seem daunting to new players. The craps page linked at left provides some solid strategy.
