How many casino games do you know? Whether you prefer to play at a physical casino or online, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. Whether you like to try chance games like slots or strategy-based games like poker, anyone who enjoys casino gaming these days should not have a problem finding a new game to try, or even a different variation of their favourite.
But what’s the top casino game to play? It really does depend on what your preferences are. Poker and blackjack are two extremely popular choices, but it all comes down to the player and what they find the most enjoyable. Some players prefer chance games because whether or not they win is completely up to fate, while others like to at least have a go at being the winner through the strategy that they use.
Here are some of the most popular casino games – which is your favourite?
Blackjack
Also sometimes known as Pontoon or 21, Blackjack is by far the most popular table card game out there. It’s also popular because it’s quite simple to play and easy to pick up, so it’s a good choice for casino newbies who are just getting into the world of card games, whether online or at a physical casino.
If you play at the casino, you’re usually going to be joined by a table full of players to compete against, while playing blackjack online usually means you’re on your own competing against the dealer, with a table to yourself. The aim of the game is to get a better hand than the dealer; the ultimate goal is to get ‘Blackjack’ – a combination of a suit card and an ace, or a ten and an ace.

All players and the dealer are dealt two cards. If you have less than 21, (suit cards are worth 10 and aces are worth 10 or 1, depending on the best combination), you can ‘hit’ to be dealt additional cards to try and improve the value of your hand.
Poker
Poker is another hugely successful and popular casino game that you’ve probably seen a lot of in the movies. It’s more complex than Blackjack, but once you know the rules and become familiar with the game, it’s a huge amount of fun to play.
You can play poker at both physical and online casinos, but since it’s usually played with other players, it can be tough to deliver it in an online setting. Most online casinos have set times for poker tournaments, or you can join tables to play against other online players. If you want to play poker online, then you should get familiar with the game. One way to do that is with the poker-themed games like the ones at poker at SlottyVegas. There’s also the option to play video poker, which is usually popular online and is essentially playing poker on a slot machine.
If you’re new to poker, there are several variations of the game to learn, but you should start with Texas Hold’Em; this is the easiest to learn and the most popular – it’s usually this version that you’ll find played at both offline and online casinos. Before you start betting, spend some time learning the different winning hand variations; there are several!
Roulette
Whether it’s the big gambling table or the iconic spinning wheel, there’s just something about roulette that makes it the first thing that comes to mind for most players when they picture a casino. It’s one of the most popular games in both online and offline casinos, and it’s an ideal game for those who prefer to forget about strategy and put their luck in the hands of chance. And, roulette is a fun, easy game to play – with chances to win big, if you manage to place the right bets.
However, players should be aware that roulette is a big money-maker for casinos; it’s no surprise that there are usually more roulette tables than anything else. Winning at this game really is down to luck of the draw, although there have been several ‘fool proof’ winning methods and betting systems – use these if you like, but be vigilant and aware that these really do not work for everyone all the time and even if one helps you win big at first, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen again.
Which of these three popular casino games is your favourite to play? Do you prefer to leave it to chance, or learn a gaming strategy?
