BOARD GAMES

Gambling has long been a popular pastime in Canada, and is permitted – but regulated – across this massive country’s three territories and ten provinces. Organisations like lotteries, casinos and racetracks must all follow the laws of their respective provinces or territories. Depending on where you are in Canada, there may be different legalities around gambling, and how old one must be in order to participate.

When it comes to baccarat, there are three variants to play, namely: punto banco, baccarat chemin de fer and baccarat banque. As you can imagine, each of these go hand in hand with their own set of rules, though the objective of the game remains the same: to beat the banker’s hand. The first baccarat variation we mentioned – punto banco – is highly influenced by the cards dealt, which determine the choices you can make.

Every casino will have its own set of rules for craps, but there are a few things you can count on not to change much from casino to casino. Firstly, the person who is throwing the virtual dice will always be known as the shooter. Like blackjack, bets are placed by laying down chips on the table’s layout. But don’t think the rules of craps are as easy as stacking chips and rolling dice.
