Table games, or card games as some know them, are a cool, entertaining way to pass the time. There are several table games - some simple, some difficult and some quite complicated. Here is a list of the different types of table games that you can play online.

Blackjack

Blackjack has a history that goes back to the 15th century. It is also the most widely played casino game today. In Blackjack, a player competes with the dealer. There are a few ways in which you win this game. You either get 21 points on your first two cards. The other way of winning a Blackjack game is to allow the dealer to draw more cards, until their points exceed 21. The third and final way of winning at Blackjack is if your points exceed the dealer's, but your total points are less than 21.

The game is quite popular and available online too. There are several websites that offer Blackjack games online, like Blackjack Tournament game.

Baccarat

Baccarat is a widely-played card game. It is not a game of skill, and actually is a game of chance. In Baccarat, you once again are competing with the dealer. Both of you draw cards, and the one with the highest number of points after the drawing of the final card, wins. It was first referenced in the 19th century.

Baccarat attracts high stakes, both in the online gaming scenario as well as the real life one. There are several websites that offer Baccarat tables. Some online gambling websites allow you to play for real money. Other websites offer a fun, free experience, like Baccarat Online 3D.

Roulette

This is the game that we see in any and every movie that deals with gambling. Again, Roulette is a game that's completely based on luck and no skill is involved. The game consists of a moving well of numbers. A ball is released in the well and you have to choose the number on which the ball will rest hen the well stops moving. The first form of roulette was first formed in the 18th century.

There are several websites that offer you the Roulette experience. Some websites allow you to play a single-player game. There are others that let you play against other online players too. A large number of players can play Roulette. Several players can bet on where the numbers will stop at the end of the wheel play. So, the stakes in a typical Roulette game can be quite high.

Poker

Poker is another of the most widely played games when it comes to table games. Poker made it's first appearance in the 18th century. A group of players play Poker. They first make a bet, depending on their cards. Then, clockwise, the other players either raise the bet or fold, depending on their cards. The last person who hasn't folded his card wins. If there are two people with card after the last round, there is a showdown, in which both show their cards. The one with the strongest cards wins.

Prominence Poker offers a great online experience. This is one of the few avatars of online Poker that's available. Various versions of Poker exist, like Community Poker, Stud Poker, Draw and Straight. In Straight Poker, the dealer deals to the players a complete hand. Raising bets and re-raising bets is allowed.

In Stud Poker, cards are dealt in a pre-arranged combination, with some face up and some face up. A round of betting follows each time the cards are dealt. Draw Poker is a bit different from Straight and Stud Poker. In Draw Poker, players get a complete hand face down. After placing their bets, they can change the cards when they are dealt new cards.

In Community Poker, players get an incomplete hand, face-down. They can then take the cards they need from the community cards that are on the table, face up.

Faro

Faro is a game that's been around since the 17th Century. Faro admits any number of players. In Faro, the dealer deals two cards, the first card is called the 'soda', so the game is played with 51 cards only. The second card dealt is the 'bankers card' and was the losing card. Any bets placed on this card lost. The second card drawn is known as the player's card. Punters having the same number won.

There's the high-card bet too, where the card that the player has bet on is higher than what the dealer draws.

Teen Patti

The Indian subcontinent has a game called Teen Patti, which is heavily inspired from Poker. The game is also known as Flush.
