Best Casino Games for Beginners

Slots

Whether you're playing at a traditional casino or at an online site, online slot games will always be your best bet. Modern slot machines are super easy to get the hang of and you do not require any experience. All you need to do is choose your bets, push a button, watch the reels spin, and try your luck to win!  There are no rules to follow and no decisions to make except for how much you're willing to spend per game. 

Back in the day, most slot machines revolved around the classic fruit slots in which you would have to put in coins and pull the lever, and nothing exciting really happened if you did not win. However, that is not the case today. Slot games come about with a variety of themes, including your favourite film, TV series, celebrities and famous characters. They also come in various forms, such as classic slots, video slots, and progressive slot games. Whichever you choose, it all depends on the type of gambling experience that you're looking for. 

There isn't another game that comes close to being as easy as slot games...plus they offer immense entertainment and many chances to win through special features such as tumbling reels, expanding symbols, free spins, and more.

The only downside is that, compared to other games, slots typically feature some of the highest house advantage of any game. However, do not be disheartened. This doesn't mean that you will not win...it just means that either luck is on your side or it isn't! In our book, slots are still the easiest games for beginners.

Roulette

Untrained eyes may find roulette to be particularly scary because of the layout's abundance of numbers, colours, and wagering options. However, do not get discouraged by the fast action and experienced gamblers, as roulette is actually one of the simplest casino games to learn and it can be played by anyone. 

If you are unfamiliar with the game of roulette or you have never seen a roulette wheel, the game involves a spinning wheel with a ball that spins around and lands on a numbered slot. Most wheels have a number set from 0 to 36 and you can even find wheels with 00 and/or 000 as a number. 

All you have to do is wager on where you think the ball will land on the wheel. There are a variety of different betting options, such as betting on which number the ball will land on, the colour, the column or the row. You can even place bets on whether the number is even or odd, low or high, or you can even break down the numbers and bet on which group it will land on. 

Your best bet at winning is to pick a number and hope that it hits! What makes this game so easy is that it is simple to understand and when the ball lands on your bet, it will generate a payout of 35-1. When you consider how easy this game is to learn, the different betting options that players have, and the potential for immense excitement and huge payouts, it is easy to see the reason why people say that roulette is one of the best casino games for beginners!

Blackjack

Even if you have never visited a casino before or played at an online casino site, you have definitely heard of a table game called blackjack. The good news is...it's also super simple to play! Blackjack is a fun and fast-paced card game that uses 52 cards in total and follows a set of a few simple rules that offer good odds of winning in comparison to the others. The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going bust (going over that score). What's interesting in this game is that you are competing against the banker/dealer and not the other players. 

Our advice is not to get too preoccupied with counting your cards or trying to come up with complex strategies...that's not the way to go and there's no time for that! 

Depending on the blackjack strategy, the house edge in blackjack can increase or decrease. Here are some instances that can affect the edge: 

• A 0.2% increase if the dealer hits soft 17
• A 0.66% increase to 8 decks if you use more decks
• A late surrender will increase the edge
• Split aces will reduce the edge by 0.03%
• A 0.12% increase with no double action after split
• A no-hole card and obo will increase the edge by 0.11% 
• A 2.13% house increase with a 1:1 blackjack game

However, while the above tips are good to know, since you're a beginner, do not concern yourself with the house edge too much. Instead, take this opportunity to focus on learning the ropes, mastering your skills, and having fun!

Baccarat

If you've ever watched a James Bond film, then you will have heard of baccarat. This game has been around for many years and it is often associated with money, mostly because it is one of the easiest casino games to win cash! To play the game, your first decision is to either bet on you, the player, or the banker, the casino. 

Now, this is where things get interesting. The dealer will now deal two hole cards, face down, and two cards, facing up. The winner will be determined based on the total value of the cards that were dealt. If the total value is a 2 or a 3, the banker wins. If it is a 4 or a 5, you will have a tie, while if it is a 6 or a 7, you will earn your winnings. 

As you can see, the game is determined by the cards that the dealer draws. You will have to leave it up to faith.

Apart from the standard baccarat game, there are other types of baccarat that you can play, such as: 

• Punto Banco 
• The Chemin de fer version 
• Baccarat banque, and 
• Macao

So, if you want to feel a bit like someone coming out of a James Bond movie, then baccarat is definitely the way to go!

Poker

Poker is a classic game that is easy to understand but might require some skills to master its mechanics. However, if you're a beginner who is starting your journey into online gambling, then poker is still a great game as it requires no special equipment or set-up...just some chips and cards. 

There are many different types of poker games, such as Texas Hold 'em, video poker, casino hold 'em, Mississippi Stud, Caribbean Stud, Omaha hold 'em, three-card poker, four-card poker, pai gow poker, let-it-ride poker, and many more. 

The best way to learn how to play poker is by watching youtube videos and tutorials and by reading books or a specific guide on the subject. Unfortunately, poker is one of those games which can only be learned through trial and error. However, thanks to the millions of sites, guides, and real-life stories straight from Las Vegas, you will definitely be in a better position to get the upper hand when playing poker.

Keno

Although keno is not as popular as the other games, it is one of the easiest games to get the hang of if you're still a beginner. Simply put, keno is a lottery-style game which you can play anytime or anywhere.  All you need to do is place your bet by choosing numbers from 1 to 80. Just like a lottery, numbers are drawn (20 of them here) and if any of the numbers that you have chosen match the ones that were drawn, then you win! 

The more numbers that you match, the bigger the prize will be. Easy, right?! Just pick your lucky numbers and hope for the best!

Bingo

Last but not least, we have bingo. While this game is a game of chance, it can also be played strategically. However, one thing's for sure, the game is definitely not complicated! Bingo is straightforward and will not take a lot of your time. So, if you're looking for a quick game before going to bed, this is it!
