Casino Games Guide

Games Played at U.S. Land-based Casinos

Unlike many countries in the world, the U.S. bans online casino games for real money.

It is important to note, therefore, that this casino games guide is intended for those who will be visiting American Land-based Casinos and does not address any online casinos or their games.

** True Baccarat should not be confused with Mini or Midi Baccarat that is played in the Main Casino.

There is a separate Baccarat pit off the main floor. Each player is playing against all the other players and no one is playing against the house – the house has no hand in this game. Cards are drawn by each player in rotation and the dealer never touches the cards. Since the casino has no stake in the game, they receive a 5% cut of all monies played and each player is expected to tip the dealer generously.
