Whoopsie! Thank you! I've fixed that now.

That will definitely be one we cover!

 

[najisami]

waiting for other topics especially for craps

Hi armoko,

I'm sure the topic will be covered here as Tammy said since craps is one of the most popular casino games, especially that the house does not have much of an edge on the players who know the game.

I'm certainly not an expert by any means, but I'll start the topic with a few basic rules that I'm aware of. Check it out: What about "Craps"?

Casino Story Challenge Game

Since the casino forum is new, I thought of a fun way to get members involved—how about a Casino Story Challenge?

How it could work:

• One member starts a short 2–3 line casino story (slots, blackjack, poker—you choose).
• Each following member adds 2–3 lines to continue it.
• The story grows week by week with twists, jokes, and drama.
• At the end of the week, the funniest or most creative story could get VIP Chips

It’s light, creative, and easy for anyone to join in. I think it could bring some laughs and activity to the forum.

Hmmm.... I might use this for something I've yet to announce.... I'll let you know!

I've come across craps on YouTube through color commentaries here and there, where some well-known poker players also played it aside from poker. But honestly, I have no idea what craps is. 🎲🤔📺

You and me both. I know what the game looks like, and I know whenever people are playing in a casino they're having a great time (lots of cheering, etc. happening). I know it's a dice game an that you're supposed to go for rolling certain numbers or something? I'd like to learn more about it. @najisami made a thread to start to learn about it. >> What about "Craps"?

Well, casino games don't seem convincing to me, I think because of the “bad reputation”

But blackjack is one that still seems to make sense to try.
With this new merger, I will make a few attempts. In addition to being able to play freerolls...

I tried the roulette wheel, but since that is “PRO CASA” lol

• How to Play Online Slots

 

[TimmyOsg]

I started by playing low-stakes blackjack and roulette just to get a feel without losing much. What really helped me was practicing online before heading to a real casino.

I also stuck to games with the lowest house edge while I was learning, so I didn’t burn through my budget too fast.

Someday we'll be playing roulette with Cardchat chips and withdrawing to Bitcoin within an hour, believing it's a regular transaction. I'm really looking forward to more updates like this for the site.

 

[gravii2011]

Thanks to this post, I learned more about online slots than I knew before, and the information was very useful. It also taught me how to play Blackjack, but it's not as exciting as poker, and I'm not interested in continuing. I'd be interested in learning more about video poker and keno.

I'd like to learn more about the psychology involved and the relationship with its customers. For example, while researching, i discovered that casinos don't have windows precisely to create a more immersive environment, encouraging people to stay longer and, consequently, make them spend more money. It's almost inevitable in a place like this, there are so many stimuli, so one way or another, we realize how difficult it is to avoid temptation.

I think that's a fascinating topic - would you like to start it?

Yep! I recently created an article about the psychology of gambling houses. I think it's an interesting topic to explore and learn more about.

There was a table game with dice I think, that I used to play, but for the life of me I cant think of its name. I want to say it started with an "S" but I could be way off. It basically was like roulette but you picked what number was going to show on the dice.

 

[Vrotebal]

Play only with money you can afford to lose. The casino will always be in the black.

It could be this one:

Sic Bo

One of the games I like playing at a casino is Sic Bo. The object of the game of chance played with three dice. The object of game is to select the individual numbers, or a combination of the numbers, that will appear on the dice after they rolled. The most basic low risk bet is to bet on...

Found it ..Sicbo.
Cant wait for the craps and baccarat info. Haven't played either but always good to have some knowledge about different games.
