Game Types
You will be able to find many different types
of games in casino's and cardrooms all over the world.
A cardroom is in the business of making money.
This means their focus will be double-edged. On one hand
a wide variety of games will attract a bigger market population.
On the other, supplying the resources for all those games
(tables, dealers, floor space) takes a considerable amount
of expense. For this reason, most USA cardrooms will offer
a relatively standard set of games and branch out
slightly based on local factors.
Though the game selection can be diverse,
you will probably not find any of the uncommon games found
in home/kitchen games. Most offerings will limit themselves
to the Hold'Em and 7 Card Stud variants. We will differentiate between three types
of cardrooms.
Small Cardrooms
The most common games you will find in small
cardrooms are Texas Hold'Em and 7
Card Stud. These are the most popular games, and will be
expected to keep the place consistently full.
The limits you will find will vary. For more
stakes related information, see the Live
Game Stakes page.
Medium Cardrooms
Medium sized cardrooms will offer a greater
variety of games. Texas Hold'Em will dominate, but there
will be more Stud based games including Hi/Lo Split, as
well as Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. Medium cardrooms may also
offer some tournaments.
The limits you will find will vary. For more
stakes related information, see the Live
Game Stakes page.
Large Cardrooms
The large cardrooms, such as those found
in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City, are able
to reach out to a much larger customer base. As such, they
are able to offer more games, more types of games, and
more related events such as tournaments and seminars.
You will find a large representation of Hold'Em,
7 Card Stud (both High and High/Low), Omaha (both High
and High/Low), as well as more unique games such as Lowball,
Pineapple, Mexican Stud, and No Limit games. The limits you will find will vary. For more
stakes related information, see the Live
Game Stakes page.
