Casino Games
By Rammy Johnson
Pontoon:
Pontoon is a card game it is also known as 21 or Blackjack. This is a simple game. As long as you can count to 21 you can play Blackjack. The dealer will give each player two cards. The player can then ask for more cards one at a time until they feel they have the best hand as close to 21 as they can without going over. Once you go over 21 you are out of the game. In this game you are not playing against other players. Everyone just plays against the dealer.
The Real Wheel of Fortune:
Roulette is a game that does not require much skill. All you have to do to win is guess what number or color the little ball will land on. The right color pays out at 1 to 1 but the right number will pay out at 36 to 1. This means a bet of 100 dollars will get you back $3600. Players can spread bets around the table as long as all of your bets do not go over the table max. Each player is given different colored chips to make sure that players chips do not get confused. This is because it is common for several players to bet on the same number. Besides the color and number of the winner you can also bet on if the number will be an odd or an even number or which of the 3 groups of 12 numbers the winner will be in.
What is Craps:
Craps is the most popular dice game on the planet. The game is played when a shooter rolls the dice to determine the point. After this people can place bets on whether or not the shooter will make the point or will crap out. The players can bet on the shooter to make the point miss the point or the outcome of the dice. Craps offers players the best odds of any casino game.
Video Poker:
In video poker you are dealt 5 cards. The player then has the option to discard some of his cards. After the cards have been exchanged your hand is either declared a winner or loser and your payout

depends on your hand. A pair may pay out at 1 to 1 and a royal flush may pay out at 100 to 1. Video poker is fast paced and unlike in the poker rooms there is no wait for a seat and when you want to leave you can just get up and go.
One Arm Bandits:
The One Arm Bandit is an old nickname for a slot machine. The older machines had a handle on the side that a player would pull to start the 3 wheels spinning. The wheels would spin and after a few seconds would stop and whatever showed on the winning line determined if you won or not. Now the machines have computers on them and instead of it being completely random the winner is determined before the wheels ever start to spin. A computer chip inside the machine runs thru all the possible outcomes and the moment you hot the button whatever outcome was in the chip is what shows on the machine.
Lotto:
When it is in a casino it is called Keno, but it is essentially the lottery. A player makes his picks on a card and turns them in for the casino to record. Most casinos have a new keno game every 5 minutes. You can sit in the keno area and watch the board to check your pick or you can leave and come back within 12 hours of your game and have the answers checked by the computer.
These descriptions are just to give you a little bit about the different games you can expect to find in casinos all over the world. If one of them interests you, now is the best time to learn and perfect your skills before risking your money.
