Online casinos have become a billion-dollar industry, and with so many players flocking to their sites day and night, the world’s favourite table games have been adapted time and time again for an online audience and, more recently, a mobile audience.
Besides offering a massive collection of online slots, Casino777.nl is home to a number of popular table games. We’re always updating our library to include the games that our players love the most, whatever their experience level, taste or budget.
So what are the most popular table games on online casinos, and how have these clever providers adapted the original game for playing online?
Blackjack (Twenty-One)
Perhaps the most iconic casino game in the world, Blackjack is always a firm favourite for its simple rules, fast gameplay and big winning potential.
The origins of Blackjack are usually traced back to 17th Century France, when ‘Vingt-et-un’ (‘Twenty-one’) was popular in the King’s court and subsequently spread to the United States through colonisation.
The aim of the game is to score a hand that’s worth more than the dealer’s hand without going over 21. Aces can be worth one or 11, face cards are all worth 10 and all other cards are taken at peg value. Every player is dealt two cards and has the opportunity to stick with their current hand or be ‘hit’ (or ‘twist’) for more cards.
Three-Card Poker
Poker was always going to go on this list, but it’s three-card poker we’d like to focus on particularly, as this is easily one of the most popular variants for online players. Although the original game of poker dates back over 1,000 years, the game was actually developed in the ‘90s, when internet gambling was first taking off.
The game is quite similar to the classic Texas Hold’em – you play against the dealer, but you are only playing with three cards, which improves your odds and speeds up gameplay.
Roulette
Invented by accident by a French inventor called Blaise Pascal (he was trying to make a perpetual motion machine), the image of the roulette wheel has become synonymous with the glamour of casino gambling.
Online roulette is easily one of the most popular games on the internet, and the addition of animation such as those found in games like Lightning Roulette, or in Multi-Wheel games, makes the online version even more exciting than its land-based counterpart.
Baccarat (Punto Banco)
Another classic table game, Baccarat is very popular among online players because of its simplicity. You really don’t need to be a slick card shark to play, have fun and potentially win.
The aim of the game in Baccarat is to bet on whose hand you think will win – you can bet on your own hand, or on that of the banker or another player. Two or three cards are dealt to each player, and you want to get a hand that scores as close to nine as possible.
