X Less Known Gambling Games to Try

When you think of online gambling few games come to mind right away. Slots, roulette, and poker are the most well-known and well-liked casino games, and there’s a reason for it. However, countless other games are a lot of fun and can bring big payouts if you’re lucky enough.

Some of the games on our list are variations of other more well-known games and some are unique. The best crypto gambling sites usually have a wide selection of games to choose from and players can start with small bets and move up from there.

Pai Gow Poker

 Pai Gow is a mixture of Western poker and Chinese traditional domino games. The players are dealt seven cards out of which they make two hands – a five-card hand and a two-card hand. These are sometimes called high and low hands. Both of these should beat the two corresponding hands made by the dealer.

The game requires a mixture of luck and skill since the player can’t determine the cards they’ll get dealt. Just as in Western poker, the edge in favor of the house is low and the game can be won with strategic betting.

Sic Bo 

Sic Bo is a Chinese dice game with a long history that’s now found its way to almost every crypto gambling site out there. It uses three standard six-sided dice, and the players place bets on various outcomes based on the dice roll.

This allows for numerous betting options as well as combining different ones. Players can place bets on which number the dice will roll, the sum of those numbers, or on which combination they could get. It’s a game of luck alone, but strategic bets can improve your chances.

Red Dog

 In the Red Dog, the players start by placing an initial bet, and two cards are dealt face up. The objective is to predict whether the next card dealt will fall in between the values of the two original cards. If it does the players win if not the house wins.

The game is simple enough and that’s what makes it so popular with the players that enjoy games of luck. It can be played on mobile devices and players don’t need to devote a lot of their attention to the gameplay in order to win.

Keno 

Keno is another Chinese game similar to the lottery that has a huge following worldwide. The game involves a Keno board with numbers from 1 to 80. Players choose a set of numbers (usually between 1 and 20), place their bets, and then a random number generator selects winning numbers. The winnings depend on how many numbers the player got right.

There’s no intricate strategy involved but the game is fun and exciting and the player has a lot of control over it. The player can choose both the numbers they bet on and the amounts they bet on each number.

Caribbean Stud Poker

 Caribbean Stud Poker is a variation of the traditional poker game. The difference is that in this version the players don’t play against each other, but against the house. The game begins with players placing an ante bet, and each player and the dealer receive five cards. Players can only see one of the dealer’s cards. Here’s the catch: after examining their hand, players must decide whether to fold and forfeit their ante or raise by doubling their bet

The dealer reveals their hand and the two are then compared as in Texas Hold’Em. The key point of this version of poker is in choosing when to raise and fold. This is where strategy comes in.

Chuck-a-Luck

 Chuck-a-luck is a dice game based on luck, that’s offered by crypto gambling sites all over the world. The game originates from the US and its main appeal comes from how simple and easy to learn it is. The game revolves around the roll of three standard six-sided dice, contained within a specially-designed cage.

You place bets on specific numbers appearing on the dice, and after bets are placed, the dealer releases the dice in the cage. The winnings are determined based on how many numbers the players will guess correctly.

Baccarat Banque

 Baccarat Banque is the version of the traditional Baccarat game, in which one of the players acts as a banker for a session. The players take turns being a banker and this adds another layer of strategy to the gameplay as each player needs to factor in the one turn they are a banker in their gameplay.

Not many crypto gambling sites offer this version of the game, due to how the gameplay is set up, but some do and they operate the same as any other crypto casino.

Dragon Tiger

 Dragon Tiger is a somewhat simpler version of baccarat originating from Asia. It’s a game of luck in which players place bets on one of two hands betting on which one will be stronger. Both hands are dealt by a dealer, who controls the game.

In cryptocurrency gambling sites the process is run by a random number generator meaning that a player can’t affect the outcome, nor should they chase their losses after a few bad games. The game is simple yet exciting to play and the size of the bets vary by gambling site.

Let it Ride

 Let it Ride is a game based on poker and the strength of a hand is the same as it is in poker. The game begins with players placing three equal bets. Each player is dealt three cards face down, and two community cards are placed in the center. The goal is to create the best five-card poker hand using the player’s three cards and the two community cards.

After getting the first three hands, the player has the option to keep gambling or “let it ride”. The unique ability to reduce the bet during the game is what attracts players to the game.

Crapless Craps

 As the name suggests crapless craps is a variation on craps, a classic dice game. It removes the possibility of losing on the come-out roll. In traditional craps, if a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled on the come-out roll, players who bet on the pass line lose. However, in Crapsless Craps, these rolls are treated as “point” numbers instead, and the game continues.

This makes the game somewhat easier and less risky for the player. The cryptocurrency gambling sites that offer this version of craps also have somewhat lower bets on it.

Which one to Try?

 All of the games we mentioned are easy to learn and master. Many are versions of games the players are familiar with and it’s easy enough to get adjusted to the different versions. Some of these are games of luck in which the player can’t affect the outcome and others are based on skill.

When choosing which one to play players should take into account what their chances of winning are, but also which games they enjoy and have fun playing. It makes all the difference, especially with games that have a long gameplay. In the end, make sure that the gambling site you’re using to play is trustworthy and safe.
