To put it simply, all of them! Since online casino platforms launched around the turn of the millennium, classic casino games have been adapted into the digital format, from Blackjack and Baccarat to Roulette and Craps.

If you’re interested in how these classic casinos look online – with new variations like Mega Fire Blaze Roulette – then read on as we lay out the details of what classic casino games you can play online.

1. Blackjack

There’s no doubt that Blackjack remains one of the most popular classic card games. It features a combination of random chance and player decision-making that has helped it to continue standing out over time.

Players aim to get a hand value that’s closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, without overshooting. At the start of the game, players are dealt two cards from the deck and then must decide what actions they want to take on their turn.

Actions include hitting (taking an extra card), standing (ending their turn with their current hand value), doubling down (doubling their wager for just one extra card) or splitting (dividing their hand into two if their two original cards were the same value).

2. Roulette

Roulette is a game that’s been around for centuries and is closely associated with historical land-based casinos like the Monte Carlo Casino. The game centres around a spinning wheel and players wager on which of its pockets a ball will stop in.

There are a few major variations of Roulette – European, American and French – which all have online versions based on them. Each of these is slightly different, with American Roulette wheels featuring an extra double zero pocket that increases the house edge.

Wagers are split between the categories of inside and outside bets, covering individual numbers, groups of numbers or more general traits like the colour of the pocket or whether the number will be odd or even.

3. Poker

Thanks to the Poker boom of the early 2000s, this card game is still a popular choice on online casino platforms. This particular casino game is set apart by the fact that it involves the element of bluffing, where hands that are not the highest value can still potentially land a payout.

Poker has plenty of different variants that switch up elements of the gameplay and rules, including Texas Hold’em, Omaha and seven-card stud. It’s important to understand the differences between varieties of Poker before joining a game, as they vary in a lot of ways.

4. Baccarat

This card game is less well-known than its cousins but is still a casino classic. Baccarat has a straightforward concept, with players wagering on whether one of two hands (the ‘player’ and ‘banker’) will have the higher total or if they will tie.

5. Craps

Dice games have also made their way online, with Craps having both fully-digital adaptions and live dealer varieties. Players wager on the outcome of either a single roll or a series of rolls, depending on the format.

Classic casino games – including table games –  are now a staple of online casino platforms just as much as land-based casino venues.
