How to Play Casino Table Games Online - Rules & Tips on How to Win
Casino table games are extremely popular at brick-and-mortar casinos, but did you know that there are online versions of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, dice, and other card games that are just as popular as those played in land-based establishments?
Here, we introduce everything you need to know about playing classic table games online and explain how to place your bets at Stake Online Casino.
What is a Casino Table Game?
Casino table games are those traditionally played at a table in brick-and-mortar casinos. In online casinos, there's a wide array of table game types, including classic card games, roulette titles, dice, and even video poker.
Stake.com is home to many popular table games and live dealer table games, providing you with lots of variety and choices when placing your bets online.
What are the Types of Table Games Available at Casinos?
At Stake, you’ll find all your favourite casino table games within our extensive game library, providing a rich and varied gaming experience. We have a collection of classic casino games that include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and a range of other card games.
You’ll also see variations of these games to keep things exciting, and live dealer table games that work with interactive streaming technology, allowing you to play against real dealers from anywhere in the world. These games have an unparalleled social atmosphere, as they allow you to interact with both dealers and casino players from around the globe.
How Do Online Table Games Work?
Virtual casino table games use a random number generator to determine the results of each round. This ensures that results are always randomized and cannot be controlled by us, the games’ software developers, or anyone else.
Furthermore, our exclusive table games by Stake Originals are designed with a Provably Fair system, which allows you to keep track of results and verify their legitimacy in real time.
Live casino games, on the other hand, work just like they do in a land-based casino, but they are streamed worldwide, and you’ll be able to “sit” at these tables and play just like you would if you were visiting a physical establishment.
How to Play Table Games
Table games require a bit of know-how, but they’re still some of the most straightforward online casino games to play. We’ve prepared a few quick-guides to help you get started at just about any table game that we offer on Stake Casino.
How to Play Online Blackjack
Blackjack, sometimes known as 21 or pontoon, is a casino classic where your job is to form a hand of 21 or as close as possible.
Picture cards equal 10, while an Ace is worth one or 11 in blackjack, meaning the best hand that you can get is 10 + A to equal blackjack. You compete against the dealer, and if you hit 21 or have a better hand than the dealer without going over 21, you will win the hand.
There is a wide range of online poker games available to play at Stake Casino. Video poker combines classic poker and slot machines and is a super popular game on the casino floor and at online casinos. In a general poker game, you are dealt five cards and can hold or re-draw your hand to form the best possible winning combination and earn a payout.
However, each game of poker has distinct rules, and there are many different types of poker, from Caribbean Stud and 3 Card to Texas Hold'em Poker and other variants.
Roulette is a legendary European table game played with a spinning wheel. The dealer spins the roulette wheel, and your job is to bet on where you think the ball will land, choosing from the likes of black or red and various number bets on the roulette table. You can place a whole host of inside and outside roulette bets, with your options varying depending on your betting strategy.
American roulette is also a popular casino game amongst online gambling fans, where there are two green zero pockets, instead of the single-zero on European roulette wheels. Learn more about how to play roulette with our guide, and play like a pro with our Keefer system strategy guide.
How to Play Baccarat
Baccarat is another classic table game with three possible outcomes – player, banker, or tie. All you need to do is predict which hand will be closest to nine for a payout. That being said, there are several variations of baccarat to enjoy, including Punto Banco, Chemin de Fer, and Baccarat Banque. Read our full guide to baccarat.
How to Play Dice Games
Dice games are among some of the best games at Stake Casino, with craps as perhaps the most popular. Playing dice games lets you bet on the dice roll, and there are so many possible combinations and betting options, making it super exciting.
You can also try simple games like Limbo, which is inspired by the roll of the dice. Read our complete guide here.
How to Play Card Games
It would be impossible to introduce table games at Stake.com without mentioning card games. You can enjoy brilliant games like Sic Bo and HiLo if you want to keep things simple. In fact, classic card games are among the most popular table games at Stake thanks to their simplicity and straightforward gameplay. If you’re just getting started, classic card games are perfect for you.
Playing all table games on Stake is just as easy as playing online slots or scratch games. You just need to have an account on our site and follow three simple steps:
Head over to our game library and choose whether to see all of our available table games or pick a specific category, such as Baccarat, Blackjack, or Roulette.
Launch the game that you’d like to play. If you don’t have any balance, don’t worry - you can test some of our games for free using our “Fun Play” feature, such as OneTouch exclusives like Stake Blackjack and Stake Roulette.
Using your preferred game’s options, set your bet size and decide which type of bet you’re going to place. The likelihood of winning, as well as payout size, varies based on the type of bet. For example, betting on a single number on roulette is less likely to net you a win than a standard blackjack bet.

Table Games Strategies, Tips & Tricks
Looking for how-to-play tips? Since you can play many different table games at Stake.com, it makes sense to consider a strategy for each game you play. You can use the following tips to help you get started:
Some table games (like roulette) are 100% luck-based, while others (like blackjack) require some strategy to improve your chances of winning. It’s helpful to know which games strategise for and which are purely down to luck before playing. Due to it being fully dependent on luck, roulette is one of the best casino games for beginners.
While classic table games offer an enjoyable online casino experience, give live dealer casino games a try. These games are played virtually with a real dealer in situ, providing a truly immersive experience.
Aim to get better at playing games with high return rates, such as blackjack and baccarat. These titles offer a low house edge, which gives you a better shot at winning. Don’t just stick to the most common casino games.
