Table games

Table games are the card, dice and wheel games played at a casino table. This page lists more than 60 of them, including baccarat and punto banco, craps, sic bo, Caribbean Stud, Three Card Poker, Texas Hold'em variants, Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog, Pontoon and Three Card Rummy. Blackjack, roulette and video poker have their own pages: blackjack, roulette and video poker.

All games are free to play in the browser. Play uses demo credits, so no real money is staked or won, and nothing needs to be downloaded or installed. Some tables are single-player and some are multi-player, and most show a dealer, cards and chips.

Each game has a Help button that explains the rules and the payouts. That makes the page a low-pressure way to learn a new game or test a betting approach before deciding whether it is worth playing at all.

Table games guide: odds, rules and where to start

Table games differ a lot in how much of each bet the casino keeps over time (the house edge). The list below shows the figures for the main games on this page, so that the free versions can be played with realistic expectations.

Table games at a glance

  • Baccarat Banker betHouse edge 1.06% with eight decks, after the 5% commission on wins.
  • Baccarat Player betHouse edge 1.24% with eight decks.
  • Baccarat Tie betHouse edge 14.36% with eight decks.
  • Craps Pass LineHouse edge 1.41%; free odds behind it carry no edge.
  • Sic Bo Big and SmallHouse edge 2.78%; both lose on any triple.
  • Pai Gow PokerAbout 2.5% against the dealer with best play and a 5% commission.
  • Casino Hold'emAbout 2.16% on the Ante bet with the most common pay table.
  • Three Card Poker3.37% on Ante and Play with the most common bonus pay table.
  • Let It Ride3.51% of the minimum bet with best play.
  • Caribbean Stud5.22% with best play on the standard pay table.

Figures assume best play and the standard pay table. A different pay table, deck count or commission changes the number, so check the Help screen of each game.

The main table games

  • Baccarat Bet on Player, Banker or Tie. The hand closest to nine wins, and the cards are drawn by fixed rules, so the only decision is where to bet.
  • Craps Bet on the roll of two dice. A Pass Line bet wins on a first-roll 7 or 11, loses on 2, 3 or 12, and otherwise wins if the point number repeats before a 7.
  • Sic Bo Bet on the result of three dice. Small covers totals of 4 to 10, Big covers 11 to 17, and single numbers, totals and triples pay more.
  • Caribbean Stud Poker Place an ante, then fold or raise exactly twice the ante. The dealer needs ace-king or better to qualify.
  • Three Card Poker Ante, then fold or play against a dealer who needs queen high to qualify. The Ante Bonus pays on a straight or better.
  • 3 Hand Casino Hold'em Casino Hold'em, played on up to three hands: poker against the dealer; after seeing two hole cards and three community cards, fold or call with twice the ante. The dealer needs a pair of fours to qualify.
  • Pai Gow Poker Seven cards are split into a five-card hand and a two-card hand, and both must beat the dealer's to win. One win and one loss is a push.
