BLACKJACK
Blackjack is one of the most populist
casino games. The objective of this
game is to draw card(s) totaling 21 or
as close to 21. The player wins if his
total is higher than the dealer.
The points system of Blackjack is
organized as follows: Kings, Queens
and Jacks all count as 10, whereas an
Ace can be either 1 or 11, depending
on your choice – the idea is to use the
Ace at your advantage. All other cards
count as their face value.
BACCARAT
The game has been played for centuries and is possibly the easiest casino
games to learn and play. At Bally’s a variety of Baccarat games including
commission, non-commission and even provisions to bet on Tie, Banker Pair
and Player Pair.
In this game,
King, Queen,
Jack and Ten
are valued as
zero. An Ace is
valued as one
and all other
cards have
their numerical
face values. The
hand (Player or
Banker) with
the highest total
count is the
winner.
Thus the total
count of a hand
can be a single digit number ranging from 0 to 9, depending on the total value
of the cards in your hand. Nine (9) would be the highest count, eight (8) the
second highest count and the list continues in descending order.
The hand (a Player hand or a Banker hand), which has the highest total, is the
winner.
