Casino Table Games
Baccarat, blackjack and roulette are the three core casino table games. They are played with cards or a wheel, at a digital table or with a live dealer, under the same rules. These guides explain how each is played and what the odds are.
Comparison
Baccarat, blackjack and roulette compared
| Aspect | Baccarat | Blackjack | Roulette |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective | Bet on the hand closer to nine | Beat the dealer's total without passing 21 | Predict where the ball lands |
| Decisions after betting | None | Hit, stand, double, split | None |
| Lowest-edge main bet | Banker, about 1.06% | Around 0.5% with basic strategy | 2.70% on a single-zero wheel |
| Bet to be wary of | Tie (about 14.4%) | Insurance and 6:5 tables | Double-zero wheels (5.26%) |
| Pace | Fast | Moderate | Moderate |
Digital and live tables
Each game is available as a digital version, where a random number generator deals the cards or spins the wheel, and as a live casino version with a real dealer. The rules and odds are the same; pace and atmosphere differ.
About strategy
Blackjack is the only one of the three where decisions change the expected result. Betting systems in baccarat and roulette change how much you stake, not the odds. No approach guarantees winnings.
