Bet the Deck

Bet the Deck is a table game I found at the Golden Nugget in April, 2005. It is a simple casino poker variation in which the player bets on the outcome of a 5-card stud hand. The poker hand is composed of four community cards and a fifth card(s) of the player's chosing.

Derby: Horse Racing Game

Derby is an electronic horse racing casino game. One to 10 players sit around a racetrack as they watch 5 horses compete in race after race. With a bet as little as 25 cents and about 90 seconds between races this can definitely be a decent time killer -- if you can find one. They've been disappearing from casinos and in May 2005 the Las Vegas Advisor reported that the only remaining machines in Vegas are at the MGM Grand, Excalibur, and Luxor.

Bonus Video Poker

Bonus Video Poker is a video poker game found at online casinos using Cryptologic software. Unlike conventional video poker discarded cards are shuffled back into the deck. In addition if the player receives any card on the draw that he already discarded he will be awarded a bonus, which I call the "redraw bonus."

Free Casino Games currently available are All American, Deuces Wild, Double Bonus, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Tens or Better, and Super Jackpot, which is a progressive Jacks or Better game. The player may play 3, 5, or 10 lines.

Not factored into this analysis is the fact that Cryptologic casinos offering 0.1% cash back in video poker.

Pai Gow Tiles

Pai gow is the oldest of the free casino games. It easily pre-dates roulette and baccarat. How such a complicated game ever got started, I have always wondered. Indeed, pai gow is a difficult game to learn. The concept is the same as pai gow poker, where both player and banker make high and low hands, and then compare against each other. What makes pai gow difficult is there is order of hands and tiles seems largely random, and is difficult to memorize.

What I love about pai gow is that for bankroll preservation, there is nothing that beats it. The pace is slow at about 30 hands per hour, and 41% of hands result in a push. If you are a pale-face, like me, you’ll impress the dealer and some other players that you even understand it. However, some Asians immediately leave the table when I sit down, as if I’m unlucky. Don’t be scared to try the game, even if you know nothing about the rules. You can always ask the dealer to set your hands according to the “house way.” Better yet, keep reading to learn more about the game.

Keno

Keno is a lottery-like or free online gambling bingo-like game played at modern casinos. Keno can be played either live, or on a machine. I refer to the later as “video keno.” The odds are better in video keno, but the rate of play is much slower in live keno, so you may lose less that way on an hourly basis. A traditional live casino keno game uses a circular glass enclosure called a "bubble" containing 80 ping pong-like balls which determine the balldraw result. Each ball is imprinted with a number 1 through 80. During the balldraw, a blower pushes air into the bubble and mixes the balls. A "caller" presses a lever opening a tube, where the balls lift one at a time into a "V" shaped tube called the "rabbit ears". The caller and a "verifier" record each of 20 balls drawn, and the computerized keno system calculates all wagers based on the numbers drawn.

Baccarat

Baccarat is among the simplest free online casino games to play. It is typically a fancier affair, but we can't for the life of us understand why. It may be so that when the high class get a little tipsy, they don't have to look dumb when they gamble, and neither will you!

Baccarat is a casino card game. It is believed to have been introduced into France from Italy during the reign of Charles VIII of France (ruled 1483-1498), and it is similar to Faro and to Basset. There are three accepted variants of the game: baccarat chemin de fer (railway), baccarat banque, and punto banco. Punto banco is strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved; each player's moves are forced by the cards the player is dealt. In baccarat chemin de fer and baccarat banque, by contrast, both players can make choices, which allows skill to play a large part.

3 card baccarat

3 Card Baccarat is a baccarat variant found at most casinos in Macau. Based on an August 2007 visit, I would estimate it accounts for about 2% of the table games of Macau. The game is played with a single 52-card deck. As in conventional baccarat, face cards are worth 0 points, and all others according to pip value. Three cards each are dealt to both a player and dealer hand every time.

The highest hand is three face cards. After that the hands are scored as in baccarat, the hand with more points wins. If both hands have the same number of points, then the hand with more face cards will win. If both hands have the same number of points and face cards, then the hands will tie.

Bonus Bowling

Bonus Bowling game is one if the Arcade games that can be found at free online casino games. This is a simple game of luck in which the player bets on the outcome of a clearly bad bowler, one frame at a time.

Your objective is to predict the outcome of a bowling throw. First, place your bets by clicking the + and - buttons on the corresponding bet field. You can bet on the number of pins knocked down, on Strike (when all ten pins are downed with the first ball) or Spare (when all ten pins are downed with two balls). You can place several bets at once. When done placing your bets, click Throw . Two balls are now thrown (except in case of a strike, when the second ball is not thrown), and bets are settled.

Boule

La Boule is a similar to roulette. I noticed the game at a casino in Antibes, France. The game features 9 numbers and 3 colors of which to bet on. The only time I saw the game it was closed at the time of day I was there. However, I could tell it is played on a large wooden wheel and from casino literature I know it is played with a rubber ball a little smaller than a tennis ball.

Big Six Wheel

This popular casino game comes in many varieties. It is sometimes called “Big Wheel” or “Wheel of Fortune.” There is a common variant called “Money Wheel” and another called “Dice Wheel.” It is called “Big Six” because the winning payouts come in 6 denominations.

All these free casino games have in common a vertical wheel that spins around on an axle until it slows down and then stops to identify a specific segment on the perimeter of the wheel. It is similar to the Wheel of Fortune game on television, but vertically mounted. Simpler versions resemble bicycle rims and fancier ones look more like flat Ferris wheels, complete with lights and sound. The functioning of the game is very similar to roulette.

Blackjack switch

As one of many different blackjack strategies, Blackjack Switch is a variant of blackjack in which player receives two hands of cards and may choose the best one to play with. So, if a player’s first hand was a 6 and a 10 and the next hand was a 5 and a 10 the player can choose to create a hand of 10 and 10. The payout is more modest at 1:1 when blackjack occurs naturally.

Switch decisions

Generally, it is quite obvious when the player decides to trade cards or not. When it is not obvious the best rule to follow is to choose an option that will allow you to form the best possible single hand.

Blackjack

Blackjack (also known as Twenty-one, Vingt-et-un (French for Twenty-one), or Pontoon) is the most widely played casino banking game in the world. Much of blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting (calculating the probability of advantages based on the ratio of high cards to low cards). The online casinos version of the game should not be confused with the British card game Black Jack (a variant of Crazy Eights).

Asian Stud

Asian Stud poker is another great variation of poker that can be played online at any good quality online casinos.

Asian stud is a new poker variant from a western US state but with an eastern flavour.

The new kid on the poker block is Asian poker - a stud variant from the Washington state city of Seattle. The game uses one deck of 52 playing cards plus one joker. Number cards have regular point count, with face cards valued at 10. Aces and the joker count as one point.

Players ante up and the dealer deals five cards to himself and the player, all facing down. The player looks at his own cards and then raises or folds, as in regular poker. Raising requires an extra bet equal to his ante amount. Folding loses the player's ante bet.
