What are online casino card games

Card games are one of the most famous and iconic entertainments in the world of gambling. Its history is confusing and vague - some call China the birthplace of card games, others - Egypt. One way or another, in the Middle Ages, cards quickly spread throughout Europe and won the love of public. Games for money were persecuted by the Church, but did not lose popularity.

Card games are in demand even now: in order to test your skills and luck, you no longer need to look for offline casino - just go to the site of any online casino you like and find dozens of types of poker, baccarat and blackjack.

How to play card games at an online casino

To play poker or blackjack, you just need to choose a reliable online casino, go through the registration procedure and make a deposit. Unlike slots, playing card games requires a minimum knowledge of the rules, so we recommend taking the time to study them and get familiar with all the features of the game in a free demo mode.

Types of card games in online casinos

Despite huge variations, there are three main types of card games presented in online casinos - blackjack, baccarat and poker. Of course, their rules are different, but the task of these games is similar - to collect the most successful combination of cards or guess who will have it - the player or the host.

• Baccarat in casino

  Usually, 8 decks of 52 cards participate in the gameplay, although, depending on the type of game, there may be fewer decks. Two players play - the dealer (also called leader) and the player. The player's task is to predict whose combination of cards will be stronger. In total, 2 cards are issued, their value is determined by their face value. For example, a deuce brings 2 points, and a nine brings 9. If the sum of the cards turned out to be a number greater than ten, ten points are subtracted.

• Blackjack in casino

  Depending on the variation of the game, 4 to 8 decks of 52 cards each participate in the gameplay. The essence of blackjack is to beat the dealer so that the total value of points does not exceed 21. Thus, the winner is the one who scored twenty-one points first or as close as possible to this figure, but did not exceed it. The peculiarity of Blackjack is that the ace can change its value and be valued either at 11 or at 1 point.

  Poker in casino

  Usually, the game involves 1 deck, which includes 52 cards. The player's task is to collect the strongest combination of cards. Poker has many modifications - but four of them are the most popular: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Five Card Draw and Seven Card Stud. Hold'em and Omaha have a lot in common. In Holdem, the player receives 2 personal cards, the values ​​of which can be viewed, and 5 community cards, while in Omaha there are four personal cards.

General rules for playing cards

The rules in card games vary depending on the variety and can be much more difficult to master than in slots, so we recommend that you familiarize yourself in advance and practice in demo mode before moving on to a real game for money. In general, the game process is as follows:

1. Before the start of the round, the player places a bet on one or another outcome of the round and presses the Deal button.
2. Artificial intelligence in the role of the dealer shuffles the deck and pulls out the cards. Depending on the game, the number of cards drawn and private rules may vary.
3. In case of a successful prediction, the player receives a win. In case of an error, the bet will be burned.

Guarantee of fairness in card games

You can be sure of the fair results of the rounds, because the result is determined by a random number generator, which is responsible for shuffling the virtual card deck. The results of the round are protected from external influence from the casino.

Card winnings

In poker, the size of the payout depends on the strength of the winning combination that you managed to collect. For example, the most valuable, royal flush, will pay out 100 to 1, while the flush is only 5 to 1.

Winning in baccarat depends on the player and how many chips he bet on a particular outcome of the round. In blackjack, the winner is the one who at the end of the round has collected 21 points or has come close to this value, but has not exceeded it. In a case that a player has collected blackjack (exactly 21 points), he will receive a payout of 3 to 2 from the perfect bet.
