Blackjack

Blackjack is a popular casino card game where the goal is to have a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer's hand without exceeding 21. Players are dealt two cards and can choose to "hit" (take another card) or "stand" (keep their current hand). The face cards are worth 10, and an Ace can be worth 1 or 11, depending on the player's choice.

Blackjack's origins date back to 17th-century France, where it was known as "Vingt-et-Un" (Twenty-One). It gained widespread popularity in the 20th century in American casinos and remains one of the most iconic and widely played casino games due to its blend of luck and strategy.

Craps

Craps is a dice game in which players bet on the outcomes of the roll of a pair of dice. Players can wager money against each other (playing "street craps") or against a bank ("casino craps"). We will play against the bank. While shooting craps, players may use slang terminology to place bets and actions

Craps developed in the United States from a simplification of the western European game of hazard. The origins of hazard are obscure and may date to the Crusades. Hazard was brought from London to New Orleans in approximately 1805.

Roulette

Roulette (French: “small wheel”) emerged in the late 18th century in the casinos of Europe. After a small ball is released in the opposite direction of a revolving wheel, players make bets concerning which red or black numbered compartment the ball will enter as it comes to rest. Bets are placed on a table marked to correspond with the compartments of the wheel. All bets are placed against the “house,” or casino bank.

Checkers

Checkers, also known as draughts, is a strategy board game played on an 8x8 board of squares, similar to a chessboard. Each player starts with 12 pieces placed on the dark squares of the board's first three rows. The objective is to capture all of the opponent's pieces or block them so they cannot move. Pieces move diagonally and can capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it. When a piece reaches the opposite side of the board, it is crowned as a "king," gaining the ability to move backward.

Checkers has ancient origins, dating back to 3000 B.C. in Mesopotamia. The game spread through Europe and eventually evolved into the modern version. Known for its simplicity yet strategic depth, checkers remains a popular pastime worldwide.
