Casino
Games Unique to Canada |
|
If you're from the U.S. or even
Europe, a visit to Canada will probably be a unique experience.
There's the currency that looks like it came from Monopoly, the people who treat hockey
like Europeans treats soccer or Americans treat football and there's space, lots of space
(fun fact: Canada is bigger than the United States).
Oh and you may see a few different things in their casinos. There's the fact that - don't
pass out - some casinos do not allow you to drink on the gaming floor. And there are some
table games that you may not see in US or European live casinos.
Not 100 percent unique, that's nearly impossible nowadays because competition with online
gaming has forced live casinos to make an effort to offer as much gaming variety as
possible, but you may see some games up north that you won't see on your standard,
non-Vegas casino. Which ones you ask?
Sic Bo
It's a historical fact, the Chinese love gambling. So it makes sense that they created a
casino game before Canada was even born.
Sic Bo is an ancient Chinese game where you predict what will turn up with the toss of the
three dice.
The game offers 50 different betting options and allows you to place multiple bets at
once. You can bet that specific numbers will turn up, a specific pair of numbers will be
rolled, a specific three of a kind will turn up and much more. You can also bet that the
sum of the dice will be small (four to 10), large (11 to 17), or a specific total. You can
win a lot of cash with a little luck playing Sic Bo, hit the right combination and you can
be paid 180 to 1!
You'll find this game in Vancouver, British Columbia probably more than any other
province. Vancouver has a fairly large Asian population.
Spanish 21
Blackjack is the pizza of casinos games; universally loved and comes in a variety of
flavors. So you shouldn't be surprised it has a Spanish cousin.
Spanish 21 is a variation of blackjack that is one of the best bets in a casino. Although
the game offers six to eight decks it makes up for that with its favorable rules: A player
21 always wins, yes, even when the dealer has "blackjack." Players may double on
any number of cards. Players can hit and double down after splitting aces (some casinos no
longer allow this). Players can surrender after doubling, known as "double down
rescue." A five-card 21 pays 3 to 2, a six-card 21 pays 2 to 1, a seven or more card
21 pays 3 to 1.
These rules actually make Spanish 21 a better bet for players than your standard blackjack
game.
Mini-Baccarat
Mini-baccarat is essentially the same game as your standard, James Bond baccarat, but
played with smaller table that looks a lot like a blackjack table. A single dealer handles
the entire game, including dealing the cards. The pace is usually much faster than regular
baccarat. Betting minimums and maximums are usually lower. |
