Poker
This one has to be the most legendary card game in history. Whether at a casino or otherwise, poker is always great fun. In casinos, the most popular variants of the game are 3 card poker from a single deck of cards as well as Texas Hold 'Em, and they both require a combination of skill and good luck to win.
There's been a massive surge of interest in poker in India as well, and we even have a Poker Championship tournament in Goa.
Baccarat
While its name might suggest a game of extreme sophistication, mystique and allure, it’s actually very simple. Each player, including the one dealing, may bet on either "player" or "house." Two hands are then dealt for both of these, and the game plays out.

Not to mention, this is one game that is known for its extremely generous payouts (and equally large losses). Besides, James Bond's been known to play this game--when he's not playing poker, that is.
Roulette
Have you ever heard of a casino without a roulette table? If you have, then chances are it was in ruins, going bankrupt or a figment of your imagination. It’s one of the few games that literally leaves everything up to fate by spinning a ball, and players simply guess where it’s going to land.
It’s highly entertaining and people have been known to spend all their time in casinos at this particular felt table.

Craps
Craps is one of those universally-loved casino games that everyone from retired old folks and college kids on a weekend trip to suave business men love to play. It’s rumoured to be over a 1000 years old, and it made its way across the world from the Arabian peninsula.
Today, you'd be hard-pressed find any casino--real or virtual--that doesn’t offer this game. There's also a social aspect to it, with only one player rolling the dice but everyone around betting either with or against that person.

Blackjack
This extremely popular card game is a casino staple no matter which part of the world you are in. It is possibly the oldest casino game and is practically mandatory to have in a casino environment.
There are many variants of the game, and every rule change affects the odds favouring the house. At its most basic, it is extremely simple and can be followed just as well by novices as it can be by experts. At its most complex, it can be broken down into a game of percentages and statistics by card counting and tracking cards as they are dealt.
