Encyclopedia > Casino games

Games available in most casinos are commonly called casino games. A casino game typically provides a predictable long-term advantage to the house while offering the player the possibility of a large short-term payout.


Casino games often offer the player the illusion of control in which the player is given choices, but the choices do not eliminate the player's long-term disadvantage (the house advantage). This disadvantage is caused by the casino not paying the full amount that would be expected for the odds wagered. For example, if one game was played by betting what number a roll of a dice would give, instead of paying 6 times the amount bet for winning (because its a 1 in 6 chance) the casino only pays 5 times the amount bet.


A list of some casino games is given below.

Many casino games are also available outside casinos, playable on machines which simulate them.

Casino game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (395 words)
Table games are played on a large table covered with a printed felt layout and may contain seating locations for players, with a dealer and other casino employees located on one side of the table (known as the "pit") and players located on the opposite side.
Gaming machines, such as slot machines, are usually played by one player at a time and do not require the involvement of casino employees to play.
Random number games are based upon the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment.
