- Roulette
- Let It Ride
- Caribbean Stud
- Texas Hold 'em
So, which one is your favorite? Personally I think Texas Hold 'em poker is by far the most
fun of these. Black Jack is OK as well, but it can't really compare to real poker.
Below is a description of some popular casino games and their respective house edge.
Caribbean stud poker
Play starts with each player making an ante bet in a designated square. Each player then receives five
cards face down. Players may examine their own cards but may not share information with each other.
The dealer also receives five cards, four face down and one face up. At this point each player has
two options: raise or fold. After all players have made their plays the dealer exposes his own cards.
If he does not qualify with at least an ace and king then all remaining
ante bets pay even money and all raise bets push. The house edge for Caribbean stud is 5.224% which
is fairly high compared to other games.
Let It Ride
Play in Let it Ride starts with each player making three bets of equal size. Then the dealer gives every player
three cards, and two community cards are placed face down. After seeing their first three cards each player has
the choice to take one of their three bets back or to "let it ride" and leave it out. Then the dealer turns over one of
the two community cards. Each player then has the option to pull out another bet or "let it ride." The player may
leave their bet in or take it out the second time regardless of their first decision.
The house edge for Let It Ride is about 3.5%.
Baccarat
Baccarat is a card game that is dealt from a shoe that holds 6 or 8 decks of cards. Two hands are dealt by the house dealer, the
"banker" hand and the "player" hand. Before the hands are dealt, bets may be placed on the banker hand, on the player hand, or on a tie.
Winning bets on banker or player are paid 1:1, but a commission of 5% is charged on bank bets.
The house edge is 1.06%. (This is for the "banker" bet, the other bets have a slightly higher house edge.)
