In the beginning, craps was the leading
game in the casino. Before you ask why, it is because,
during World War II, it was the quickest, not to mention
the easiest, game of chance (read that as ?gambling
pastime?) to cook up. Military rules forbade gambling
on base and on the held. A casino black jack deck of cards could be difficult
to hide should an officer suddenly appear. A GI could
swallow a pair of dice, if he had to. black jack wasn?t
played?who?d be the banker? Get the picture? When the
boys came home, the game they remembered most was craps,
so naturally they gravitated to the table... Casino Craps
Five-Card Stud
The Dealers Strategy The dealer really
employs no strategy, for his play is determined automatically
by the rules of the game. If his initial hand totals 17,
18,19, or 20, he must stand. After the players have drawn,
he pays all hands that are higher than his, collects from
all hands that are lower, and declares a tie with all
hands of equal value. If the dealer has a total of 16
or less, he must continue to hit his hand until it totals
at least 17 or until he busts... Five Card Stud
Casino Black Jack
Veteran black jack players welcome the
opportunity to take insurance?when the cards on the
table, and the cards that have gone before, signal the
possibility that the dealer has a black jack, those players
will buy insurance. There are options to all black jack
decisions, and in general, insurance is not a sound
wager. Surrendering. Many casinos do not have this option,
but many do. casino black jack works like this: When a player looks
at his hand and the dealer?s face-up card and decides
that he has the worst of it, he may throw in his hand
before drawing any other cards and surrender half of
his original bet... Black Jack
