Roulette Table Games at BetRivers

Online roulette is one of the hottest trends in virtual casinos. Outside of slots, it’s one of the easiest games to learn, and the fast pace provides incredible excitement. The goal of roulette is simple, bet on the number, color (or combinations of numbers and colors) that you think the ball will land on after the wheel stops spinning.

As you play, keep in mind that there are some distinct advantages to playing online as opposed to land-based casino. In a real casino, the dealer sets the pace, quickly paying out winners, resetting the wheel, and spinning again at high speed. With an online casino, you have more control, and you can play as quickly or slowly as you like.

Here’s a quick look at the roulette betting process.

Place your wager on a number or color or whatever combination you like. Then, watch as the dealer spins the wheel in one direction and then rolls the ball in the opposite direction. After a few moments, the wheel and ball will lose momentum and the ball will fall into one pocket. With luck, you’ll win!

Then, the dealer sweeps off losing bets and pays out the winners, and the process begins again.

BetRivers Online Casino features multiple styles of roulette games for you to choose from. You can play in solitude or join a live dealer via video stream and take part in the excitement of real roulette gambling anytime you like.

Blackjack Online at BetRivers

Blackjack might be the most legendary casino table game of all. It’s a blend of strategy, skill, luck, and drama that few other games can match.

Blackjack also has a certain mystique due to its unclear history. That is, no one is quite sure where the game came from. Some historians point to a mention of the game in Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. In the story, two characters are gambling cheats who love a game that they call ventiuna. Spanish speakers will know this word means 21.

Because Don Quixote was written in the early 17th century, the game or at least it’s first version could be up to 500 years old. Modern versions of blackjack likely originated in New Orleans, thanks to French gamblers who brought their favorite pastime to the New World. From there, it spread through many casinos and saloons.

In blackjack, you don’t play other players instead, everyone is trying to beat the dealer. Each player (including the dealer) begins with an initial two-card hand. During the second round, everyone has the chance to ask for additional cards or to stand on their current total. The goal is to beat the dealer by getting as close to 21 without going over.

If the dealer gets a higher total, or if the player busts, the player loses their money. Beat the dealer, though, and you can win a great payout! You’ll find an assortment of blackjack games including live dealers at BetRivers Casino. Don’t wait, double down on blackjack online now!

Texas Hold’em Table Games at Betrivers

Texas Hold’em is a very popular poker game and it’s not just played in Texas! In fact, casinos like BetRivers offer this version of poker 24/7 online. Texas Hold’em is played using a standard deck of 52 cards. The goal of the game is to build the best possible poker hand using the two hole cards, as well as the five community cards that rest in the center of the table.

Texas Hold Em includes four rounds of betting, and then the grand finale, also known as the showdown. After the cards are dealt, betting begins with the player on the left of the dealer position posting the small blind. Then, the next player to the left must post the big blind this is often double the amount of the small blind bet.

Let’s say you’re playing a $1/$2 no-limit Hold’m game, where the small blind is $1, and the big blind is $2. During the pre-flop betting round, the player in the big blind finishes the action. He or she can check, raise, or fold. The progression of the betting relies on the choices of the first bettors. Each subsequent bettor has three options. They can bet equal to the big blind, raise, or fold.

Before the second round of betting, the first three community cards (or the flop) go to the center of the table. Now, the betting starts with the player in the small blind and proceeds clockwise from player to player.

Before the third set of bets, the fourth community card (called the turn) placed in the center of the table. This round unfolds in the same manner as the second round.

Prior to the fourth round, the last community card is dealt. Each player now tries to make the best possible five-card hand.

Once the river round concludes, it’s time for the showdown. All players reveal their hands and the winner is determined.

Those are just the basic of online Texas Hold’em. There are many fun strategies you can use to play this fun table game. Practice your skills at BetRivers Online Casino and start winning today!

In Three Card Poker, you play only for yourself.
