The Best Casino Card Games Online

When it comes to casinos, there are a number of card games that are played in casinos. This could be classics like Blackjack or Poker, or even newer games like casino stud poker, rummy or baccarat. All of these great games are now able to play online or on your mobile.

Blackjack

This is a classic casino game, and it is now available to play right from the comfort of your own home. Whether you want to play on mobile or on your desktop, there are a number of options for you to be able to play this casino classic.

Blackjack is a classic card game that is played against the deal. The idea is to try and get your cards to add up to as close to twenty-one as you can without going over this amount. Players place a bet amount, and then all players (including the dealer) are dealt two cards. The dealer is dealt his second card face up. Players can then look at their cards and decide if they want another card, a 'hit', or want to stick with the two cards they already have. They may keep getting new cards until they reach the total that they want to stick with or have more than twenty-one.

Once all the players have stuck with their total, then the dealer plays. If the dealer was showing an ace, then players have the option to buy insurance against the dealer having Blackjack. Blackjack is any ace and any picture card equally twenty-one. Insurance means that if the dealer gets Blackjack, then the player will still win some money, on what is normally an automatic loss for all players.

The dealer will then hit for more cards to try and get closer to twenty-one. The dealer operates on strict rules; for example, the dealer may have to always hit if they have a total of fifteen or less, and have to stick if they have sixteen or higher. If the dealer goes bust, then all of the players win.

There are also various advanced rules that allow players to double their bet, or split their cards. Then can also surrender to protect their bet.

Video Poker

Video poker is also a very popular casino card game that you can now play on your mobile device or desktop. The game at home plays in exactly the same way as you would play it in a casino. Video poker is a style of poker that is more akin to a slot machine than a traditional card game.

In standard five card draw video poker, the player pays a stake and is dealt five cards. They then have the option to keep up to four of their cards, in order to make a valid poker hand. Once they have changed their cards, then the player is paid out based on the standard poker hands. The better the hand, the higher the multiple of the stake you win.
