1. Roulette
Obviously roulette is number 1. In casinos with croupiers there is always a fixed space for roulette tables and it is always crowded. Online roulette is also hugely popular. It depends on your online casino how this game is offered. You can choose the standard online roulette, but increasingly there is the option of Live roulette. Live roulette is played on a real table and with a real croupier. On the screen you can observe the progress of the game in various ways and see which number the ball lands on. Online roulette is without these croupiers, which makes the experience a little lower, while there is often more speed in this form. The odds of winning in roulette are slightly lower than half.
Roulette has been a popular gambling game since time immemorial. The game features the numbers 1 to 36 as well as the 0. You can place an amount on these numbers, whereby you can also choose to place a half, i.e. a combination of two numbers, or a quarter as a combination of four numbers. The basic options are red/black and even/even. You can also bet that the ball will land on a number between 1 and 18, or between 19 and 36. Finally, it is possible to choose rows (1, 2 or 3) or dozens (1-12, 13-24, 25-36). Roulette is easy to learn and there are fun options to bet on, which explains its popularity.

2. Blackjack
At number 2 we find blackjack. Both in land-based casinos and online, this game is very popular among gamblers. In blackjack you don’t play against other gamblers, but against the bank. The aim is to get your cards as close as possible to 21. The same applies to the bank and whoever gets closest to 21 wins the round. In blackjack, the chances of winning are quite high, depending on the type of blackjack. In fact, some casinos let the customer win if there is a tie between the gambler and the bank, while other casinos then let the gambler lose. As with roulette, it is also possible to play blackjack Live, but you can also choose to play against the computer.

3. Poker
At number 3 is poker. Many groups of friends will have often played poker among themselves in the past, but this game is also popular in real casinos and online casinos. Poker is a very diverse game that can be played in different ways. In the Netherlands, for example, people often play Texas Hold’em. In this, each player gets two cards and you play against other gamblers. The bank provides five cards on tables and then you can make various combinations. For example, you can play the lowest possible win ‘high card’, but you can also play the highest possible combination; the Royal Flush. The most special combinations often have bonuses attached to them, which makes it extra fun for players. Another style of poker play is Caribbean Stud Poker and Omaha.
Online you can play against the computer, but it is also possible to play in virtual environments against other gamblers. In addition, poker also offers a Live option, where you play at a virtual real table. In real casinos you can choose from several tables, each with different rules.
