Casino Gambling Games Introduction

The first thing entering our minds is Las Vegas, slot machines, bright lights and colorful chips. The locals call their desert paradise "Lost Wages", but that's another story. If you are not a gambling person and you donít know a lot about casino gambling, then this is for you.  

According to Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia, a casino is a building that accommodates gambling.  Internet customers can begin online casino gambling by playing slot machines or other games of chance that require more luck than skill. Casino gambling games usually have mathematically determined odds to certify the house maintains an advantage over players. This house advantage is simply called the ìedgeî. ìPayoutî is the percentage given to winning players. Some statistically even games may take a commission or a "rake" on bets customers make against each other.    

There are a lot of casino gambling games that can get you hooked right away. First, you have the classic slot machine. Slot machines are coin-operated gambling devices with three or more reels that rotate when a lever on the side of the machine is pulled. It includes a valid currency detector that validates the coin or money. Slot machines typically pay based on patterns of symbols, such as Cherries, Lemons, and Numbers, which are visible on the front of the machine when its reels stop spinning.   

Sadly, casino gambling games often offer the player the illusion of control in which the player is given choices, but these choices do not eliminate the player's long-term disadvantage. This is another house edge for the casino because it is not paying the full amount that would be expected for a wager.  If one game was played by betting what number a roll of a die would give, rather than paying 6 times the amount bet for winning, the casino will pay only 5 times the amount wagered.  

This deviant is often found in famous casino gambling games like  Craps, Poker, Roulette, or Blackjack.    Poker is a very popular card gambling game. The players, with fully or partially concealed cards, make wagers into a central pot, after which the total sum is rewarded to the remaining player with the best hand.   

Like Poker, Blackjack is also a very popular casino-gambling card game. Its global popularity is due to the mixture of chance with elements of bluffing skill and decision-making. Card counting is a skill in which players can turn the odds of the game in their favor by making betting decisions based on the cards that have been dealt. Las Vegas Players suspected of card counting have been bullied, beaten, banned, and blacklisted by the casinos. Don't ever admit to being a card counter when at a Vegas Blackjack table.   

Craps is a famous casino gambling game using dice. Players wager against the casino on the outcome of one roll, or a series of rolls, of two dice. Craps rules vary only slightly from one casino to another, however, the expected value of most bets is only slightly negative.  Unlike Blackjack, there is no possible winning strategy over any given period of time. This game is for those with psychic abilities.  

Roulette is a signature casino gambling game. A croupier spins a round roulette wheel having only 37 or 38 separately numbered pockets in which a ball has to land. These main pockets are numbered from 1 to 36, changing between red and black, with the number 1 being red. In addition, there is a green-colored pocket numbered zero. In most roulette wheels in the United States, but not in Europe, there is a second zero also in a green-colored pocket labeled 00. If a player bets on a single number and wins, the payout is 36 to 1. 

Actually, the amount of the bet is returned, so in total its winning odds are really 35 to 1.   

Be very wary. Casino gambling games are highly addictive (as they are intended to be). A lot of lives have been ruined by casino gambling. It might be fun for a while, but please do try to practice patience when courting Lady Luck.
