Casino gaming is something that many look forward to being able to enjoy when they turn 21, but it also can be intimidating\u2014how do you know what to do and expect? At Valley View Casino & Hotel, we want to make sure your first visit to our casino is easy, fun and exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help make that happen, we\u2019ve put together this guide for beginners. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about casino gaming to navigate this exciting world with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many different games to play at casinos, and not every casino will have the same options, but the majority will have slot machines and table games. So, we are going to walk you through the casino gaming rules for both types of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal of slot machine<\/a> play is to line up matching symbols. These \u201clines\u201d are called paylines, and they can be vertical, horizontal or in other arrangements. You get to choose how many paylines you play with. Keep it simple with a single payline and basic betting structure, or try multiple paylines and betting options. Once you have found the machine that looks the most fun or interesting to you, choose your bet amount, press the \u201cspin\u201d button or pull the lever and if the symbols align on your payline, you win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n With so many slot machines to choose from (at Valley View Casino, there are more than 2,000<\/a>!) it might be hard to decide which one you want to play. They have different themes, denominations, betting minimums and maximums, payline options, bonuses and more. The great part is that you don\u2019t have to limit yourself! You can try a little of each style until you figure out which you like best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for some interactive play, table games may be for you. In California, casinos typically offer favorites like Blackjack, Reveal Roulette and variations of poker. You\u2019ll find all of these games at Valley View Casino<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are both multi-deck and double-deck Blackjack tables at Valley View Casino. Just like the names suggest, for double-deck Blackjack, two decks of cards are used, and for multi-deck, more than two decks of cards are used. In Blackjack, you play against the dealer to try to get your hand as close to 21 without going over. You decide whether to \u201chit\u201d and receive another card or to \u201cstand\u201d and keep your current cards. If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer\u2019s, you win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another classic casino table game is poker, and it comes in a myriad of variations, such as Ultimate Texas Hold \u2019Em and Three Card Poker. Different versions might be played against the dealer or against other players, like you see on TV, to see who has the stronger hand. When you\u2019re just starting out, playing against the dealer is a great way to learn the ropes, and many people find they prefer this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valley View Casino offers three poker table games that you play against the dealer: Dealer Open Pai Gow Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold \u2019Em and Three Card Poker. In Dealer Open Pai Gow, you see the dealer\u2019s hand first before you choose your highest two-card and five-card hand. In Ultimate Texas Hold \u2018Em, you\u2019re dealt two \u201chole\u201d cards that you combine with five community cards to come up with your best five-card hand. In Three-Card Poker, you make your best poker hand with three cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n California casinos offer Reveal Roulette<\/a>, a modern spin on the classic Vegas-style Roulette game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the traditional game, players place a bet on the Reveal Roulette table by picking a number, the color red or black or a combination of numbers. But Reveal Roulette is essentially a card game. The dial spins and the pointer lands on 1 of 38 numbered tiles to determine who wins. At Valley View Casino, our Reveal Roulette tables<\/a> feature a unique Reveal bonus side betting track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some table games are easier than others. Focus Gaming News ranked different casino games from the easiest to the hardest<\/a> to help players decide which games they want to play. But don\u2019t let this hold you back if you want to try something new. At Valley View Casino, our wonderful Table Games Team<\/a> would be happy to help show you how to play any game you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One other thing to keep in mind: when you\u2019re a beginner player, you may not wish to play against an expert player right away. That\u2019s why casinos typically offer tables based on skill levels, from novice to experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best casinos offer promotions for guests, whether they\u2019re beginners or regulars. Take advantage of them! Promotions can range from exciting giveaways to deals on drinks or food to higher chances of winning on specific days or during special events. The best way to stay in the know about upcoming promotions and giveaways is to join Valley View Casino\u2019s Players Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many casinos offer loyalty programs that give players even more opportunities to maximize winning. Members can typically earn bonuses like free gifts, free game or slot play, extra chances to win big and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valley View Casino\u2019s Players Club<\/a> is for everyone! Signing up is quick, easy and free. Plus, just for signing up, you\u2019ll get over $200 in free offers<\/a>!

There really is something for everyone. Plus, practice makes perfect, right?
