Everything You Need to Know About Casino Table Games

Gala Casino — why we’re the best for table and card games

Start by placing a bet. Your dealer will deal you two cards. Your objective is to get as close to 21 as possible without exceeding this, otherwise known as “going bust”. You can choose to “hit” for another card, or “stick”, for example, if you’re dealt a 10 and an ace.

Your dealer will then deal him/herself, but must have at least 17 before sticking. If he/she goes bust, or if you’re just closer to 21, you’ll win your twice your stake.

1. You can either raise the stakes or “fold” if you think your hand isn’t good enough to win the game.

2. Got a bad hand? Bluff it and make others think your hand is better than it is.

3. Make sure you learn the winning hands; these are Straight flush, 4 of a kind, Full house, Flush, Straight, 3 of a kind, 2 pair, Pair, and High card.

How to play roulette guide

1. Start by purchasing chips; each chip has a different value, e.g. £1.

2. On the table is a grid with numbers 0 to 36, plus boxes with colours or groups of numbers, e.g. odds and evens.

3. Your odds will depend on where you place your chip – for example, you’ll win twice your stake for evens or odds.

4. Once all bets have been placed, the croupier drops the ball into the roulette wheel.

5. Wherever it lands determines your winnings.

6. It’s far easier to win betting on colours or odds/evens, but the pay-outs are lower.
