At most online casinos today, you can find upwards of 1,000 games from a variety of online casino game development studios and software providers. The majority of these games are online slot machines, maybe 75% or more, and the remaining games are card games, table games, instant win games, and live dealer games. On this page, we will be taking a closer look at some of today's most popular online casino card games.
What card games can you play at online casinos?
When you sign up to a fully licensed online casino from your smartphone, tablet, desktop, or laptop, you can access their entire game portfolio. You can find traditional card games, such as blackjack, poker, and baccarat, and for each of these classic casino card games, you can usually find multiple varieties. Some of today's most popular online casino card games are the following hit titles:
- Premium Blackjack – a game by Playtech
- Baccarat – a game by Switch Studios (brought to you by Games Global – a company that recently acquired Microgaming)
- Heads-Up Hold'em – a game by Playtech
- Premier Blackjack with Side Bets – a game by Switch Studios and Games Global
- 3 Card Brag – a game by Cayetano Gaming
- Hi-Lo Premium – a game by Playtech
- Caribbean Stud Poker [Progressive Jackpot] – a game by Playtech
.
These games are usually available in the real money mode and free-play demo mode, and the wide betting ranges in these games cater to almost every player/budget, meaning that everyone can play. In most of these games mentioned above, you can play one hand from as little as $/€/£0.10, $/€/£0.20, or $/€/£0.50. To play in the real money mode at a fully licensed UK online casino, you must be at least 18 years old.
Live dealer card games
If you enjoy playing any of these top-rated card games and want to take your online casino experience to the next level, you may like to try some of these cutting-edge live dealer card games. Some of the hottest titles include the following world-class games:
- Live Three Card Brag – a game by Playtech
- Live Lightning Blackjack – a game by Evolution Gaming
- Live Majority Rules Speed Blackjack – a game by Playtech
- Live All Bets Blackjack – a game by Playtech
- Live VIP Blackjack – a game by Pragmatic Play
- Live Infinite Blackjack – a game by Evolution Gaming
- Live Blackjack Smoky Black – a game by Stakelogic Live
- Dead or Alive Saloon – a game by Evolution Gaming
- Live Peek Baccarat – a game by Evolution Gaming
- Live Casino Hold'em – a game by Evolution Gaming
These state-of-the-art live dealer card games are usually only ever available in the real money mode. A free-play demo mode is NOT generally available with live dealer games because it's too expensive for the software providers that develop/maintain these games and the casinos that offer them to run them in this mode.
Final note
Most online casinos have a healthy selection of classic table and card games to choose from, and they are relatively easy to play. However, before playing for real money, take a few minutes to learn the rules, and perhaps start by playing in the free-play mode, where possible, until you get good at playing.
