When you walk onto a casino floor, your eyes are immediately drawn to the endless rows of slot machines and the packed blackjack and roulette tables. Exploring these "niche" games can be a rewarding experience. This guide will introduce you to three of the most popular and intriguing alternative casino games: Craps, Baccarat, and Pai Gow Poker.

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Dealer is Strong (Showing 7 through Ace)
|
||||||
|
The statistical probability is that their hidden card is a 10, giving them a strong total of 17 or more.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hit until you reach 17 or more: You have to assume the dealer has a better hand and take the risk to improve yours. When the Dealer is Weak (Showing 2 through 6)
|
||||||
|
When the dealer's up-card is a 2, 3, 4, [site](https://www.coei-vienne.fr/2000/01/01/770) 5, or 6, they are in a weak position.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Don't risk busting your own hand: If you have a "stiff" hand (a hard total of 12 through 16), you should generally Stand. Your Best Bet at the Table
|
||||||
|
Blackjack is one of the few casino games where your decisions truly matter. Never Split 5s or 10s: Two 10s make a total of 20, which is a fantastic hand that you should almost always Stand on. The Golden Rules of Splitting and Doubling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always Split Aces and 8s: Splitting two Aces gives you two chances to hit a 10 and make 21. Double Down more aggressively: If you have a hard 9, 10, or 11, you should almost always Double Down, as you have a good chance of getting a high card and the dealer has a good chance of busting. You'll be giving yourself the mathematical best chance to beat the dealer.

Conclusion: Step Off the Beaten Path
|
||||||
|
While the mainstays like blackjack and roulette will always be popular, the casino floor is full of other exciting opportunities. The next time you're feeling adventurous, take a moment to watch one of these games, ask a dealer about the rules during a quiet moment, and give it a try.

How It's Played
|
||||||
|

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Gamble for Entertainment, Not to Make Money: Treat gambling as a cost of entertainment, just like buying a movie ticket or going to a concert. Decide in advance how long you're going to play and set an alarm to remind you when your time is up. Never rely on gambling as a way to solve financial problems. Set a Strict Budget: Never use money that is needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, or groceries. Set Time Limits: [webpage](https://advisorsecurite.fr/keno-semaine) It's easy to lose track of time when you're engrossed in a game. Set a firm loss limit before you start playing and stick to it.

|
|
||||||
|
Pay Attention to the Game: Follow the action so you know when it's your turn to act. Don't Touch Your Bet After the Hand [homepage](https://galnet.fr/ruby-slots-casino) Starts: Once the dealer announces "no more bets" or the hand is underway, do not touch your chips. Know the Rules Before You Sit Down: Jumping into a fast-paced game without knowing the rules slows it down for everyone. Handle Your Chips and Cards Properly: In games like blackjack where you can touch your cards (in "pitch" games), use only one hand. Be Courteous to Everyone: Blaming the dealer for your losses is poor form and is never acceptable. While it's not mandatory, it's good form to tip your dealer, especially if you've been on a winning streak or [site](https://sebastien-michenet.fr/statistique-keno-semaine) have been playing at their table for a long time. A dollar or two per drink is a standard and appreciated gesture. The Art of Tipping
