Casino Games 101: Learn To Play & Gamble Like Bond

The first time I visited a casino, I was wide-eyed, taken in by all the flashing lights and sound of coins and chips – and confused. I knew how to play Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and Blackjack from many late nights in university. As for the other games: slots, video games, roulette, baccarat, and craps – “how hard could these be,” I thought, “I’ve seen enough James Bond movies.”

It didn’t take me long to realize that I needed a quick crash course. So, here’s a quick introduction to the many popular casino games you’ll encounter at the casino. Just don on your best suit or dress and you’ll look like a pro the next time you’re in Vegas or Monte Carlo.
