The Best Way to Learn Every Game in the Casino

25.08.2025

When I first started gambling, I really did not know much. I started writing about gambling before I actually played any casino games, so I knew a little bit about most of the games, but I lacked experience. Any knowledge that I had was more of an abstract understanding because I had never actually tried it. So, I made it my mission to learn every game in the casino.

It has been about a year since I started, but now I have actually played every game that my online casino offers, including live dealer games, specialty games, and a variety of poker games. My goal was to start with the most straightforward games first, and then gradually progress to the ones that were more difficult. If you have been following my blog, you may have noticed that I pretty well stuck with that progression.

However, now that I have accomplished my mission, there are a few things that I wish I had done differently.

These steps are based purely on how easy it is to learn the games, but your final decisions should incorporate your own personality and preferences. With that in mind, here is a casino games guide that will help you learn every game in the casino.

1. Slots

I will be honest and tell you that I debated about whether slots should be the first game. It really is the easiest game to learn because all that you have to do is place your bets and push a button or spin a lever.

The problem with that is that it can become a little boring. So, try a few different games, but give yourself the freedom to move on if you find yourself getting uninterested.

2. Baccarat

The first table game that I think beginner gamblers should learn is Baccarat. Some people in the gambling industry might disagree with me on this because they believe it is challenging to learn the rules of the game. But here is the problem with that argument. You do not need to understand the rules in order to play.

Baccarat is similar to blackjack because there are two hands in play, and whichever hand has the highest number, without getting into double digits, is the winner.

3. Roulette

When you first walk up to the roulette table, it can be somewhat intimidating because there is so much going on. But the game itself is really quite self-explanatory.

Your only objective is to predict which number the white ball will land on when the wheel spins. The only reason that roulette gets a little complicated is that there are several different kinds of bets that you can make.

You could bet on a specific number, or you can simply wager that the number will be odd or even. Each wager has its own payout based on the probability of getting it right.

4. Blackjack

I always heard that blackjack was the most straightforward table game to learn, so that is why I started with that one, and I certainly had reasons to agree on that topic.

If you are a little unsure of baccarat or roulette, you could begin with blackjack, and most of you will learn how to play very quickly and without difficulties.

The thing that makes blackjack one of the easier casino games is the fact that there is a perfect strategy that gives you the best chance of winning.

As long as you follow a guide, you should be able to play a simple game of blackjack, and it will have an incredibly low house edge. That makes blackjack one of the fairest games in the casino.

However, there are a lot of mistakes that you can make when you play blackjack.

5. Craps

Craps is the table game that I recommend you master next. It is similar to roulette in that it is a relatively simple game, but it gets tricky to learn the various betting options. To put it simply, the objective of craps is to predict what number the dice will land on.

The challenging part is figuring out which number you are hoping for and at which time.

6. Video Poker

Some of you are probably surprised that I suggest playing video poker before you play traditional poker, but there is a good reason why. Anyone who has played poker for any amount of time will already have the poker hands and betting systems memorized.

But for those of us who are new to the game, poker is scary because there is so much to learn.

That is where video poker comes in. Video poker gives the player an opportunity to practice some parts of poker without having to figure it out all at once. You can familiarize yourself with all of the different poker hands, which one is better than the others, but you do not have to worry about betting against other players.

More importantly, you will lose less money playing video poker than a traditional poker game.

7. Poker Cash Games and Tournaments

Once you have used video poker to master all the different poker hands, you will be ready to play in a live poker game.

I recommend that you play a few small-stakes cash games first. That way, you can get used to competing against other players, but you can leave the game at any time. However, you absolutely have to manage your bankroll carefully when you play a cash game.

If you are not sure that you can manage your bankroll effectively, you should choose a tournament instead.

8. Specialty Games

Many gamblers will stop after learning poker, but I think there is one more category of games that you should check out. Every online casino will offer a variety of specialty games, such as bingo, lottery-style games, keno, and more.

These games are not as popular as the traditional table games, but they are worth exploring.

9. Live Dealer Games

At this point, it would be fair to say that you have at least tried all the games that casinos offer. But I would not want you to miss out on the fun of playing some live dealer games.

Most online casinos offer roulette, blackjack, and baccarat in a live dealer format, but some casinos have more variety.

10. Different Variations

Now that you have experienced all of the games in the casino, the only thing left to do is to pick your favorites.

I recommend that you try out a few of the different variations of your favorite casino games so that you can learn the differences between each version.

• If you love baccarat, you are probably playing the punto banco version. Try the super six or chemin de fer variations.
• Those of you who love five-card draw should try Texas Hold ‘Em or three-card stud.
• Slot machines lovers have thousands of options to choose from.

Another option is to mix things up by trying side bets. Blackjack, baccarat, craps, and many other games have side betting options.

Conclusion

There is no wrong way to learn how to gamble, so if you do not want to stick with this plan, then don’t. It is merely a guide for those of you who prefer to learn the simplest games first.

I hope that this step-by-step guide has given you some vital information that can help you decide which games you want to try and the concepts that you should focus on learning first.

More importantly, you can use the attached resources to help you learn whichever game stands out to you.
