The opposite of advantage is RTP<\/strong> (look below).<\/p>\n Casino Hold'em<\/strong><\/p>\n A popular poker variant, available as a virtual and live variant which lets players bet against the dealer. Unlike most other poker variations, in Casino Hold\u2019em, you don\u2019t play against other players but the casino.<\/p>\n Check<\/strong><\/p>\n If you check in poker, you\u2019re passing the action to the player to your left without wagering.<\/p>\n Chips<\/strong><\/p>\n Pucks or disks used to represent real-money wagers in table games like roulette or poker. Chip values differ from chip to chip and are also identifiable by color.<\/p>\n Community Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n The three cards belonging to the casino in a game of poker.<\/p>\n Comp Points (Comps)<\/strong><\/p>\n Comps are a great way of winning goodies from the casino, especially if you play there often. Usually, if you keep playing with the operator, you\u2019ll get promoted to a VIP or loyalty player. Such customers enjoy advantages like bonus cash, free spins, plane tickets and a trip for two, for example.<\/p>\n Craps<\/strong><\/p>\n A game of luck which includes rolling a pair of dice. In the live gaming world, only Evolution Gaming<\/strong><\/a> has created a live craps variant.<\/p>\n Croupier<\/strong><\/p>\n Another name for the dealer. This is the person who hosts the live game, deals the cards and\/or spins the wheel. The word croupier<\/em> comes from French.<\/p>\n Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n Dealing refers to the action of distributing cards to players in a game like blackjack or poker.<\/p>\n Dealer<\/strong><\/p>\n Synonymous with croupier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Dealer Button<\/strong><\/p>\n A small, typically plastic puck that players use in Texas Hold\u2019em Poker to denote who the current dealer is.

In brick-and-mortar casinos, it is considered bad luck to touch the dolly. In other venues, it is forbidden to do so and one risks being removed from the table.<\/p>\n Fold<\/strong><\/p>\n In poker, to fold means to decide against staying in the game any longer. Usually, folding one\u2019s hand implies having a weak hand.<\/p>\n Flop<\/strong><\/p>\n The first round of poker (e.g. Texas Hold\u2019em) when the three community cards<\/strong> are dealt is called the flop.<\/p>\n Hand<\/strong><\/p>\n A hand is either the current combination of cards you\u2019re holding in a game of poker or blackjack or a type of card combination considered desirable in such games. Instances of a hand include royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind and full house, among others.<\/p>\n High-Roller<\/strong><\/p>\n The type of player that usually goes all-in. These punters prefer to play at high-payout casinos<\/strong><\/a> or even no max cashout casinos<\/strong><\/a>. Juggling with a chunky bankroll, these gamblers can afford to lose a lot and are willing to risk it.<\/p>\n Hole Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n In poker, hole cards are the cards a player receives and only he or she can see. When combined with the community cards, they make a hand.<\/p>\n Hot Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n Often used in roulette, hot numbers are those that have appeared with the biggest frequency in the past few rounds. However, this is not a 100% reliable approach to beat roulette. Betting on hot numbers does not guarantee a win in roulette.<\/p>\n Insurance Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n In blackjack, if the croupier shows an ace (A), you can place an insurance bet. What that does is bet against the dealer hitting a natural blackjack.

It works the same way as any other chat box or messenger.<\/p>\n Live Common Draw Blackjack<\/strong><\/p>\n In standard blackjack, there can be up to 7 seats. In Common Draw, however, an unlimited number of players can take part in the game.<\/p>\n Lobby (Casino Lobby)<\/strong><\/p>\n The complete catalogue of live dealer games an online gambling venue has.<\/p>\n Maximum Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n The most you can bet in a round of a live casino game.<\/p>\n Minimum Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n The least you can bet in a round of a live casino game.<\/p>\n Multichannel<\/strong><\/p>\n If a live game is multichannel, that means that you can play it on multiple platforms like mobile<\/strong><\/a>, tablet and desktop.<\/p>\n Multi-Hand Games<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the newest innovations in live gaming, multi-hand games allow you to play with up to 5 hands per round. Traditionally, punters could play with only one hand, but live gambling has developed since.<\/p>\n Multi-Player<\/strong><\/p>\n The multi-player function allows casinos to host both players in a land-based casino and those playing from home in the same game, simultaneously. All of NetEnt<\/strong><\/a> live casino games are available in the multi-player mode.<\/p>\n Multiplier<\/strong><\/p>\n Although most commonly used in slots, multipliers can be featured in live casino games, too. A multiplier is used to multiply your payouts\u00a0up to a certain amount of times. Live dealer multipliers can be seen in Crazy Time<\/strong><\/a>, Lightning Roulette and Quantum Roulette, for example.<\/p>\n Natural<\/strong><\/p>\n A natural or natural blackjack is hitting exactly 21 in blackjack. A natural pays at 3 to 2.<\/p>\n Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n Odds are the probability of the player winning against the casino.

In other words, you don\u2019t need to draw any more cards to create a winning hand. Some examples are four of a kind, a straight and a flush, to mention a few.<\/p>\n Payout<\/strong><\/p>\n Payout, payback<\/strong> and RTP<\/strong> are synonymous. This number represents the percentage of bets returned to the player.<\/p>\n Paytable (Pay Table)<\/strong><\/p>\n A game\u2019s paytable explains to the player how they can win at that game. Displaying information such as winning ways, possible bet types, payouts and more, paytables are a helpful tool on most gamblers\u2019 journeys.<\/p>\n Pit Boss<\/strong><\/p>\n The person who monitors the gaming area is called a pit boss in both land-based and online casinos.<\/p>\n Player<\/strong><\/p>\n Other than the person who plays, a \u201cplayer\u201d is an outcome in baccarat whose house edge totals 1.24%. If you win betting on the player, you win even money.<\/p>\n Progressive Jackpot<\/strong><\/p>\n Made famous through slots<\/strong><\/a>, progressive jackpots have found their way to live casino games, too. A great example of such live dealer game is Jackpot Roulette<\/strong><\/a> from Ezugi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Push<\/strong><\/p>\n The situation where neither the player not the dealer wins is called a push.<\/p>\n Raise<\/strong><\/p>\n When a poker player raises, he or she is adding money to the pot. As a rule of thumb, aggressive players tend to raise more than others. To raise, one has to double<\/strong> the amount that was bet previously.<\/p>\n Return to Player (RTP)<\/strong><\/p>\n The same payout. RTP is short for return to player and determines how much out of 100% goes back to the player long-term.<\/p>\n River<\/strong><\/p>\n After the flop and turn, in poker, the last drawn card is called the river. It is also what the last round in poker is referred to as.<\/p>\n Roulette<\/strong><\/p>\n French for little wheel<\/em>, roulette<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most enigmatic casino games ever. Revived in a live casino version hundreds of times, roulette comes in various shapes and forms. Popular modern, lucrative variations include Playtech\u2019s Quantum Roulette<\/strong><\/a> with multipliers and Lightning Roulette<\/strong><\/a> from Evolution Gaming.<\/p>\n Shoe<\/strong><\/p>\n Each card game \u2013 live or not \u2013 has its own shoe. It\u2019s a special casino holder that keeps all the decks used in a particular game, ranging from 1 to 8 usually.<\/p>\nA<\/h2>\n
