The most popular card games at Onlione Casinos
Black jack
Blackjack is one of the most played casino card games and is also referred to as 21. The aim of the game is to reach 21 with two or more cards. The card game is fun and exciting right from the start.
Some of the most popular blackjack variations are: European Black Jack ⚬ Single Deck Black Jack ⚬ Black Jack Multiplayer ⚬ Black Jack Surrender ⚬ Black Jack Platinum ⚬ Black Jack Players Choice ⚬ Black Jack VIP.
Black Jack offers fun and excitement right from the start. The Black Jack rules are easy to learn. The cards that have numbers on them also get this value. A 7 counts as 7 points, a 4 counts as 4 points. The picture cards, Jack, Queen, King count 10 points. The only exception is the ace, which counts 11 points and 1 point. This is determined by the player.
Game rules and tips
The dealer deals the cards. First, each player is dealt one card, as is the dealer. These are revealed. Now each player decides for himself if he wants to draw another card. The other cards are also dealt face up. If you get 2 identical cards, for example 2 tens you can split them, that means you play with 2 hands and try to get as close as possible to 21 with both hands.
- If you have more than 21 points, you lose.
- If you have less than 21 points, the player closest to the number 21 wins.
- In case of a tie with the bank, the bank wins.
So the dealer has a slight advantage. In some casinos, a tie is considered a tie.
Single Deck Black Jack
The Single Deck Black Jack variant is played with only one deck, i.e. a single deck of cards. From a mathematical point of view, this offers the casino the least house advantage.
The aim of the game is to reach 21 points with the card value. All number cards count their own value, the 8 for example counts 8 points. The ace counts either 1 or 11 points. All other picture cards such as Jack, Queen and King count 10 points.
Before the game begins, all players place their bets according to the limits set by the casino. After betting, each player and the dealer are dealt an open card. After that, each player, but not the dealer, is dealt another card face up. Now each player, starting with the player to the left of the dealer, can draw as many cards as he wants until he is close enough to the 21 points.
- If a player gets more than 21 points with his cards, he loses immediately.
- Blackjack is a hand that reaches 21 points with two cards. So either Ace and 10, or Ace and a picture card.
After all the players have drawn, it's the dealer's turn. If he reaches a value of more than 17 with his first two cards (e.g. 10 and 8), he stops. If his first two cards are less than 16, he draws again. The winner is the player who lands closer to 21. If you have a score above 19, you should never draw another card. If you have less than 13, it is often worth drawing another card. Especially in Single Deck Blackjack it is worth keeping an eye on the other players' cards. Since there is only one deck in the game, you can make pretty accurate statements about which cards are still in the deck.
Black Jack Multiplayer
Black Jack is clearly one of the most famous card games in the world. Especially in reputable online casinos this game is very often offered and of course also played. This game has come into focus again and again.
One reason for this, for example, was card counting, which can give the player an advantage over the casino. This system is not forbidden, but also not liked, and is probably the best known. This is also an argument for the great popularity of blackjack. In online casinos, multiplayer gaming is also called Blackjack multiplayer.
The rules of the game
The basic principle of the Black Jack Multiplayer is quite simply explained. Players are dealt 2 cards at the beginning, face down on the table. The bank or casino also receives two cards, the first of which is face up. This means that all players can see a card the bank is playing with. Now it's about getting 21 eyes on the hand.
- This can be achieved by adding more cards.
- No further bet has to be paid.
- Only a hand signal is given that you want to have another card.
- The order is clockwise.
At the end, the bank reveals the second card and can also add cards. Whoever is closer to 21 wins. But whoever gets over 21, whether bank or player, loses automatically. So the target is no longer there and the best way to get 21 is directly. For Black Jack Multiplayer there are some interesting strategies that can be chosen very suitably depending on the type of player. Before you play the game actively, you should have a look at some tactics.
Black Jack Platinum
Online Black Jack is one of the most popular games in casinos. The rules of the game are relatively simple, so you can start playing after a short time.
The goal of Black Jack Platinum is to get as close as possible to a total value of 21. The croupier first hands you two cards from a classic poker deck. After viewing, you can either complete the game for yourself with your two cards or request another card. If you are dealt 21 points directly, i.e. a blackjack, the game is won for you.
The Rules
We have already explained the goal of the game. But how do we get our 21 points?
First, we look at the possibilities of each card type:
- The known number cards from two to ten count as much as the points they display.
- The face cards, i.e. the jack, the queen and the king, count ten points each
- for the ace there are two variants, between which you can choose yourself: Either the ace counts one or eleven.
There are five different commands in the Black Jack Platinum:
- Stand: You are satisfied with the dealer's dealt cards and don't want another card.
- Hit: You want another card. You can repeat this process as long as you don't think you need another card.
- Double Down: This command doubles your initial bet and gives you another card.
- Split: If the first two cards dealt have the same value, this hand can be "split". Now the split hand can be filled with a bet equal to the initial bet.
- Surrender: You have looked at the first two cards and expect to lose. Now you have the possibility to sell your hand for the price of half your bet and end the game.
- Tip 1: Split only two aces or two eight, but never face cards. Tip 2: With 17 or more points, you should hold the hand.
Black Jack Surrender
Black Jack is the most popular casino game in the world. This is due to two factors. Firstly, Blackjack is easy for anyone to learn and secondly, the game offers unusually good odds for players. The bank advantage is as small as in few other casino games. Black Jack Surrender is available in almost all casinos.
The special rule Surrender
In Blackjack, it is important to come as close as possible to 21 points with card values without exceeding them. Number cards count the number printed on each card. The 5, for example, counts 5 points. With an ace you can decide whether it counts 11 or 1 point. Jack, Queen and King each count 10 points. The dealer deals each player and himself a card. After that each player, but not the dealer, gets another card. Now you have two options:
- if your score of 21 is close enough in your opinion, you can stop, or
- you draw as many cards as you like. Watch your step: If you reach more than 21 points, you lose the round immediately.
The winner is the player or players closest to 21. If there is a tie with the dealer, the round ends in a tie. The special rule Surrender allows you to drop out of the game at any time. You lose half your bet, but not the entire bet, if the dealer wins the round. If you have more than 19 points, you should never draw another card. If you have less than 13, it is often worth taking another card. If it looks like the dealer could win the round - for example, if he already has an ace - and you want to be on the safe side, you can fold the game. Note: Not all online casinos offer the Surrender rule.
Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the oldest card games in the world and over time has become the leader in many online casinos. Baccarat is often offered in different variations: Baccarat - Live Baccarat - Baccarat Gold - Baccarat Low Limit - Baccarat High Limit - American Baccarat.
Rules and Tips
Baccarat is always played in pairs. A croupier and a player sit opposite each other. All other players can also participate in a current game by betting on the winner. This means they can bet either on the dealer (dealer or banker) or on the respective player. In this initial phase, even beginners can learn a few things without investing too much themselves. Therefore, it is recommended to write down what you hear at the beginning of the sidelines.
- The dealer and the player bet on who comes closest to the nine with their cards.
- This is an attempt to approach the number nine with two cards face down.
- If the player or croupier receives a Naturel, the cards must be turned over and then compared.
- The player who is closest to the number nine wins.
It is also possible to bring a third card into play if a player has less than 5 or between 5 and 7 points. Especially with the online offers, the computer systems then take over the complex calculations of the points. In Baccarat, the course of the game cannot be influenced. In contrast to poker, for example, you cannot change the course of the game if the coin is in the air.
The house advantage is always a little bit better at the bank. Therefore it makes sense to bet on the banker or dealer or croupier when playing. A bet on a tie should not be made because this is very rare in this game. The win would be very big, but it's too rare. For this reason, the best approach is to concentrate on the original game between player and dealer.
Pontoon
You will have fun with this famous variant of Blackjack, because Pontoon is popular and known as an online game. This card game is a British table game and is also originally from Great Britain. This game shows philosophical strength and since it is a British game it meets the language of Shakespeare.
Ponton variations: Pontoon - Trente (et) un - Onze et demi(e) - Sette e mezzo - Quinze.
Game procedure and rules
The Pontoon rules are simple and if you've played Blackjack before, these two games are comparable. It's about getting close to the face value of the cards 21. Pontoon is the same as Blackjack in the USA and this game is played with 8 decks of cards. As a player in Pontoon, you have to decide which of the tables with the different bet limits you want to play on. Already with a stake of 25 cents, you can participate in the Pontoon. You or another player bet the first bet. The rule here is that either the minimum bet or the maximum bet at the table may be placed.
- The virtual croupier now distributes 2 cards each.
- Now you can decide whether you want to increase your bet.
It begins to fever and it becomes exciting, because now you can demand further cards with Hit and Twist. You can decide and as I said it is easy with Pontoon, at the end the cards in your hand are compared and whoever is closest to 21 wins all bets. If you decide cleverly and use your possibilities, then it is relatively safe to come close to 21. Pontoon is a relatively fast game of chance and it is very easy to learn. Nevertheless, you will like the thrill of winning and reaching 21 with the cards. That's really worth considering online, too.

At the end of the game, the dealer announces the total number of points of all participating players.
- If the bank is higher than the player, it wins, and vice versa.
