When a casino advertises their 'Table Games', which ones are they actually promoting? The phrase covers a number of the oldest wagering games like Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat which can be found at many land-based and online sites.
Visit an online casino and you will often see a tab on their homepage listing the types of games on offer. Among the slots, Video Poker, Jackpots or Arcade games, there can be a 'Table Games' tab. Click this and many of the most popular casino games will be revealed, all with the common factor that they are, perhaps unsurprisingly, played on some sort of table.
Top Table Games
There are table games that have been around since ancient times, when Greek and Roman soldiers played versions of Roulette and Craps to pass the time between battles. Other ones with long histories include Blackjack and Baccarat, which both have origins in the Middle Ages, while the Chinese origins of Sic Bo go back hundreds if not thousands of years.
Although these games are played on a flat surface, there are plenty of extra features to the tables that make them unique. The spinning wheel at one end of a Roulette table is a clear example, while the surface of a Craps table is surrounded by a raised edge that stops the dice rolling off the end. All tables are marked out in different ways to highlight where bets can be placed, where cards are dealt out, or it may have a special area to hold the betting chips.
It's worth noting that some of these games come in multiple versions, so Blackjack for example, can be found as Perfect Pairs, Pontoon, Super 21, or Face Up 21. Roulette is most popular in European or the '00' American versions, and Poker has been developed into the famous Texas Hold'em, Tri Card, and Pai Gow types among others. All of these top games can be found at Sun Palace Casino.
