Since the dawn of time, man has always liked to make a bet on anything and everything. This is even evidenced by a series of discoveries, not long ago, of ancient objects relating to the practice of gambling in China, the Middle East and India. The games currently existing at the casino thus constitute, in a way, the emanation of these games to which our distant ancestors use them. Rediscovering their principle and their history will surely help you to make the connection.
Craps
If in France, it is often shunned by players, most of whom do not even know it, on the other side of the Atlantic, Craps is a very popular casino game. In the United States in particular, it is to him that we owe the electricity of the atmosphere in the establishments of Las Vegas and Atlanta. But what is it really about? Craps is a game of dice. Therefore, playing it consists of betting on the result of one or more dice rolls. To put luck on his side by playing this game, a novice player must favor the bets “ass Line”, “Come”, “Don’t Pass”, “Don’t Come” and “Free Odds”
Blackjack
Blackjack, on the other hand, is a casino game very popular with Europeans. It is thus one of the biggest competitors of slot machines and poker. Its name is due to a bonus awarded to the States to players with a hand consisting of an ace and a black jack. The English translation of black jack is indeed Black Jack. Although this bonus is no longer offered by almost all casinos in the world, the name has been preserved.
Roulette
It is the most recommended casino game for neophytes, because of its simplicity and the greatest chance of winning a jackpot. The roulette wheel displays 37 digits, including a zero, if it is French or English. On American roulette, on the other hand, there are 38, including a zero and a double-zero.
Slot machines
In terms of popularity, slots are far ahead of other casino games. With them indeed, there is no real need to calculate to play. Players will only have to slip coins into a physical machine or wager their electronic money in a virtual machine. The machine will display, after being operated via a crank or a button, combinations that can, depending on their luck, be winning or not.
What about poker
Poker is the casino game with the highest number of variations. It is still possible to draw some common characteristics. Whatever the poker variant, the game takes place with 52 cards and leaves no room for jokers, like other card games. Each player will seek to get the best possible combination of five cards with their hand to collect all the bets of each round. Depending on the variations, the number of players who can join a table usually varies between two and ten. The presence of a dealer is essential for the distribution of cards, but also to define which player will play first. It is, in principle, the one to his left. The clockwise direction will then have to be followed for the unfolding of the “words”.
