Basics of popular card games played at Deltin casinos
At Deltin casinos, you can play several card games. However, to increase your winning chances, you must know the important poker rules and basics of each game. Let’s check them out:
5-card poker
5 Card Poker is a simple card game where you compete against the dealer. Your goal here is to have a stronger hand than the dealer. To gain this stronger hand, you use the five cards dealt to you. You can exchange up to two cards once during the game to improve your hand.
Step-by-step rules to play:
- Place an initial bet (Ante) on the table. Optionally, you can also bet on a Jackpot Bonus for extra winnings.
- Both you and the dealer receive five cards each, with one of the dealer’s cards face-up.
- Look at your cards and choose:
- Continue: Place a second bet (2x the Ante) on top of your cards
- Fold: Forfeit your initial bet and leave the game
- Next, the dealer reveals their cards.
- To qualify, the dealer must have at least an Ace and a King.
- If the dealer doesn’t qualify, the round is a draw (Push).
- If they qualify, their hands are compared to decide the winner.
Poker rules you should know
- You play directly against the dealer, not other players.
- You can exchange up to two cards for the cost of an Ante bet to improve your hand.
- If your hand is better than the dealer’s, you win. If not, you lose your bets.
- Jackpot Bonus payouts are given based on the strength of your hand, regardless of whether you win or lose against the dealer.
Baccarat
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards on a specially designed table. Players bet on which hand (the player’s hand or the banker’s hand) will have a total value closest to 9. The goal is to guess correctly and win your bet.
Baccarat how-to
- Start by betting on the Player, Banker, or a Tie.
- You have to bet using the chips before the cards are dealt.
- Be aware that two cards are dealt to the player’s and banker’s hands.
- The total value of these cards determines the outcome.
- Now, if your chosen hand has a total closer to 9, you win.
- A tie means both hands have the same total.
Please note that additional cards can also be drawn under certain conditions (based on predefined rules).
Rules you should know
Card values:
Ace = 1 point | Cards 2 to 9 = Face value | 10, Jack, Queen, King = 0 points
When you add points, if the total exceeds 9, only the second digit counts. For example, a total of 15 becomes 5, and a total of 18 becomes 8.
Bet types:
You can place the following five types of bets:
| Types of bets | When do you win? |
| Player bet | You will win if the total of a player’s hand is closer to 9. Pays 1:1. |
| Banker bet | You will win if the total of a banker’s hand is closer to 9. Pays 1:1 but may deduct a small commission. |
| Tie bet | You win if both hands have the same total.Pays 8:1. |
| Super six bet | This is an optional bet where the Banker wins with exactly 6 points. Pays 12:1. |
| Pair bet | You will win if the bets on the first two cards are a pair.Pays 11:1. |
Teen Patti
Teen Patti is also called Indian Flush. It is a popular card game played with a standard 52-card deck. Here the goal is to create the highest-ranking combination of three cards and win the prize pool, called the “Boot.”
Step-by-step rules to play:
- All players place an initial bet into the Boot.
- Each player receives three cards, face down.
- You can play as Blind (without seeing your cards) or Seen (after checking your cards).
- Be aware that ‘Blind’ players bet the minimum and ‘Seen’ players bet twice the minimum.
- Now, at each turn, you will have three main actions:
- You can place bets and add money to the Boot.
- If you think your hand is weak, you can fold (quit the round) and not lose additional money. However, you lose whatever you have already bet.
- You can ask the previous player (the one who bet right before you) for a sideshow. Now, both of you will privately compare your cards.
Winning conditions of Teen Patti:
- If everyone except one player folds, the last player wins.
- If only two players remain, one can call a ‘Show’ to compare cards. The highest-ranking hand wins.
