Casinos are famous for
the excitement and glamour it brings not only in films, but
also in real life. Visiting a casino requires dress code,
which means tuxedos for men and proper dresses for women.
The most famous casinos
is to be found in Monaco on the meditarranian coast and
ofcourse in Las Vegas. Other places have seen the
opportunity to promte themselves through casinos i.e. Reno
and Atlantic City in the US, and Nice, Cannes and several
European capitals. 
Roulette is probably
the best known casino game, James Bond plays at the roulette
table, not at the poker table, so despite all the hype about
poker and poker tournaments, the
roulette table is what most
people associate with casinos. Roulette games are pure
chance and having the chance to get the money back 35 times
is a big temptation. Most roulette players does play at
several numbers or maybe the 50-50 percent games of black or
white. Card
counting
When
blackjack or 21 first
arrived on the casino scene it was played with just one deck
of cards. Clever card counters beat the casinos and hence
the number of decs were increased, but also the cleverness
of card counters has increased som most casinos has a very
strict policy against card counting which is treated as
cheating and therefore is illegal.
Most casinos has a
huge park of slot machines,
often several thousand machines which runs from 25 cent a
draw up to 100 dollars a draw, in the latter the jackpot
often exceeds 10 million dollars and is quite some
attraction for the casinos as winning is pure luck and the
payout ratio for all casinos will statistically win for the
casino. |
