Looking for a list of simple DIY casino games? Then we’ve got you covered with this one!
We’re definitely all up for hosting friends at home. And playing a few casino games while you’re at it can add a little spice to your house party. Sure you might even go the whole hog and host a DIY casino party. Or have some casino games running alongside poker at a DIY poker night.
But it’s crucially important that you pick the right game or mix of games for your gathering. That’s where our list comes in very handy…
DIY casino games to try
Blackjack
Such a casino classic, there are several films in which it plays the starring role, blackjack is a no-brainer for your party. All you need is two to seven players, a couple decks of cards and a set of chips and Bob’s your uncle.
Baccarat
Baccarat is simple to play and a whole pile of fun. Like blackjack, it’s best played with two to seven players and you need only chips and cards to get started. It’s definitely one of the best DIY casino games you can play.
3 card brag
We don’t mean to brag, but 3 card brag is kind of our secret weapon. It’s as much of a thrill as a regular casino game, but it’s based on poker. That makes it a surefire success if your friends are poker fans, like ours are. Especially if you don’t want to get down to brass tax with a long winded game of Texas Hold’em or PLO.
3 Card Brag is quick and easy. You can play simply against the other players, or you can play casino style via a no-bluff dealer. The choice is yours when you DIY this casino game.
DIY casino games that are a little tough to play at home
Roulette
We love roulette and in some ways, when it comes to DIY casino games, nothing could be simpler. Everyone knows how to play. But the tricky part comes in when you think about the equipment. If you’re having a one-off little casino party with your mates, you don’t want to go investing in a roulette wheel. And plus the cheap ones aren’t great. And if your table isn’t completely level, it won’t work anyway.
Sure you could borrow one. Or even rent one. But it’s a faff. Unless you’re going to be playing a whole pile of roulette at home, give this one a miss.
Slots
For obvious reasons, slots aren’t great to play at home. First of all, they’re kind of one-person activities. Secondly, the equipment is an issue. The vintage table top ones are super cute, yes. And the big Las Vegas style video slot machines are really fun. But who has the space for either of them? Like with roulette, unless you’re going to be playing a lot, simply give this a miss.
Practice makes perfect with DIY casino games
Before you set up any of these DIY casino games, make sure you know the rules inside and out. The easiest way to do that is to play yourself online at a casino like bet365. And if you’re new to the site, you can use this bet365 bonus code.
