Welcome to Springbok Casino’s guide on mastering luck-based table games! These games are a blast because they offer straightforward gameplay mixed with the thrill of luck. If you're keen to boost your chances and have more fun, you've come to the right place.
From 32 Cards to Baccarat, we've got you covered with tips, strategies, and a bit of insight into each of our lucky SpinLogic-powered titles. Keep reading for the best guide to luck-based table games – in South Africa and beyond!
The Allure of Luck-Based Table Games
Why are luck-based table games so popular? Simple: they’re easy to play and packed with excitement. Unlike skill-based games where you need to memorize strategies and practice for hours, luck-based games are about enjoying the moment and letting fate take the wheel.
This makes them perfect for Bokke who are just finding their feet, and even for senior herd members who want to remain at the tables and give those brain cells a bit of a rest. With a gaming category that caters for both, it’s no wonder that luck-based table games are trending at Springbok Casino!
Understanding the Basics – What Are Luck-Based Table Games?
Before we get into the finer details of our luck-based table game tips and strategies, let's take a quick look at some of the popular SpinLogic Gaming titles that you’ll find at Springbok Casino. Here’s a snapshot of what they’re about:
- Lucky 7: Predict whether the next card will be below, above, or exactly 7.
- Andar Bahar: Guess whether the card matching the Joker will appear on the Andar (inside) or Bahar (outside) side.
- Teen Patti: Bet on which hand will have the higher-ranking cards, kind of like in poker, but way more simplified!
- 32 Cards: Predict which player position will have the highest card total.
- Akbar Romeo Walter: Choose between the three player positions, and predict who will get the highest card.
- Baccarat: Bet on whether the Player, Banker or Tie will have a hand value closest to nine.
These games at Springbok Casino are based purely on chance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t apply some smart strategies to tilt the odds in your favour – albeit ever so slightly!
Top Tips for Playing Luck-Based Table Games
As the best online casino in South Africa, we offer top luck-based table games by SpinLogic Gaming. We furthermore serve Mzansians as a useful hub for online casino gaming tips, tricks, and strategies. We keep mentioning ‘luck-based’ – doesn’t this take ‘strategy’ out of the equation?
If you’re thinking in terms of outwitting your digital component, then yes – pretty much. Playing luck-based table games with real money and expecting a winning outcome each time is a tall order. That said, you can bet ZAR at Springbok Casino with a few tips to guide you towards fewer losses!
Tip #1: Know the Rules Inside Out
Each luck-based table game online has its own set of rules. Understanding these rules thoroughly can help you make educated guesses, instead of pure guesses! For instance, in Lucky 7, knowing that a 7 pays out 11:1 can influence how you place your bets.
Tip #2: Manage Your Bankroll Wisely
This might sound like a no-brainer, but it’s vital. Set a budget, and come hell or highwater, stick to it! In Andar Bahar, if you start with R200, decide in advance how much you’re willing to spend in total as an indefinite R200 rebet isn’t sustainable – unless your surname is Musk, of course.
Tip #3: Start Small and Gradually Increase Bets
If you're new to a casino game, start with smaller bets to get a feel for it. As you become more comfortable and familiar with the gameplay, you can gradually increase your stakes. This approach is particularly useful in games like Teen Patti, where the rounds can be fast-paced.
Tip #4: Use Side Bets Sparingly
Many luck-based table games offer side bets that can be tempting because of their potentially high payouts. That said, these bets often come with higher house edges. Where this is true, use side bets sparingly and focus on the main bets, especially when your stack is on the low side.
Tip #5: Stay Relaxed and Enjoy the Game
The beauty of luck-based games (card games or otherwise) is in their unpredictability. Accept the uncertainty and the fact that you’re not in control. Whether you’re playing Baccarat or Lucky 7, the key is to have fun. Take breaks if you need to cool down and remember… F-U-N!
More About Springbok Casino Luck-Based Table Games + Tips
We’ve given you a snapshot of what’s on our menu, but what about winning tips for luck-based table games? Keep reading as we delve a bit deeper into what each of our table games of chance are about, along with valuable tips to keep your bankroll intact.
Lucky 7
Lucky 7 is one of the simplest yet most engaging games at Springbok Casino. The objective is straightforward: predict if the next card dealt will be below 7, above 7, or 7 on the dot. The payout for predicting 7 correctly is 11:1, making it a high-reward option.
Tip: Start with small bets while you’re still finding your feet. Use the 7 DOWN and 7 UP options as they have a 1:1 payout, which can help you build a steady bankroll.
Andar Bahar
Andar Bahar is a classic Indian card game that’s all about guessing which side – Andar (inside) or Bahar (outside) – will get a card that matches the Joker (the middle card). It’s simple, fast-paced, and incredibly fun!
Tip: Keep track of the last few rounds. While every round is unique, some players find it helpful to look for patterns.
Teen Patti
Teen Patti is like a simplified version of poker. You bet on which hand will have the higher-ranking cards, with similar poker hand rankings. Only, you don’t get to hold or discard cards. The action unfolds automatically and it’s a thrilling game of chance.
Tip: Since it’s a game of luck, focus on enjoying each hand. Don’t be afraid to start with smaller bets until you get the hang of it.
32 Cards
In 32 Cards, you predict which of the four player positions (Player 8, Player 9, Player 10, Player 11) will have the highest card total. Player 11 starts with the advantage of 11 points, as opposed to 8 points for Player 8.
Tip: Watch the game for a few rounds before placing your bets. This can give you a sense of the game’s pace and flow.
Akbar Romeo Walter
As with our aforementioned and upcoming game, Akbar Romeo Walter involves betting on player positions. In this instance, those player positions are named Akbar, Romeo, and Walter. The aim is to predict which one will get the highest card. It’s a simple yet engaging game!
Tip: Since it’s purely luck-based, try different player positions in different rounds to keep the game interesting and varied.
Baccarat
Baccarat is a classic casino game where you bet on whether the Player, Banker or Tie will have a hand value closest to nine. It’s one of the most popular luck-based table games in South Africa. In our SpinLogic Gaming version, players don’t draw and luck is the determining factor.
Tip: Baccarat has simple betting options, but it’s wise to understand how to play the game, and what the rules are. Betting on the Banker usually has a slightly better house edge.
Differences Between Skill-Based and Luck-Based Table Games
If you’re curious to move from the reels and wheels to the red (or green) felt table, you might want to know how skill-based and luck-based table games compare. Let’s take a moment to chat about the key differences between these gaming sub-categories.
Skill-based games, like poker or blackjack, rely heavily on strategy, decision-making, and experience. Your choices directly impact the outcome, and the more you play, the better you get. It’s because of the strategic nature of these games that we have professional poker players! It requires skill…
On the other hand, luck-based games, such as those we've been raving about – Lucky 7, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and the rest – are all about chance. There’s no deep strategy or years of practice needed, and you don’t need to be a poker pro to approach these games!
