Casino excursions can be thrilling, especially if you happen to walk away with extra cash in your pocket. If you haven't had the opportunity to try out table games and usually stick to the slots, you may be doing yourself a disservice. Table games have tons of action and usually yield better results when it comes to winnings. Here are some of our favorite table games at the casino.

BlackJack

If you are extroverted and want to show your stuff, blackjack is the game for you. This game actually has the best odds when it comes to table games as it has the lowest house edge over all other games in the casino. The higher the edge number for the house, the worse your odds are. This is because the dealer takes thousands upon thousands of bets over the course of the day, and it is considered a game of luck mixed with strategy. This game requires talking, and you are likely to meet many interesting players at the table.

Craps

Once you learn the rules to craps, it will offer you wild entertainment and lots of laughs. Everyone gets involved at the craps table and you'll find yourself congratulating winners and yelling along with the crowd as each roller takes their turn. This is excitement at its best at the casino and everyone seems to get in on the action when a game is in play. The game itself requires rolling two dice and landing upon particular numbers to win bets. Those playing along with you bet with or against you, hence the yelling often heard at the table when a roller's numbers are checked. If you are looking for high energy and the chance to engage in a casino game with plenty of spectators, this is the game for you.

Baccarat

Baccarat is a leisurely table game, yet it still holds the same excitement level as other card games. This game often has high stakes, which can mean hefty winnings. Cards have point values which are added up. The last digit of your hand's total numerical value is the point value you are assigned. You are dealt a hand of cards and need to beat the dealer's hand, much like blackjack, only you don't have the need to toss cards and have new ones dealt to you unless the numeral value of your hand of cards falls between 0-5. This game of chance does not require a strategy to play, making it a great option for those who want to engage in a few cocktails or try winning a game without having to put in the effort of having to make a move to determine the outcome.
