Table games: the classics without a dealer, at your own pace

Digital table games are roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker variants where the outcome comes from a random number generator rather than a physical deck or ball. There's no video stream and no chat; you decide when the next round starts. This page covers the basic rules and the most important differences between variants. Which tables Sly's lobby carries and at what limits, check there — we don't state them.

Roulette: count the zeros

European roulette has 37 pockets — the numbers 1 to 36 and a single zero. American roulette adds a double zero for 38 pockets. The payouts are the same, but the extra pocket roughly doubles the house edge: about 2.7% with one zero against about 5.26% with two. If the lobby offers both, the difference is only visible in the table rules — check before you bet. Some European tables also return half of even-money bets when zero lands; whether that rule applies is in the rules too.

Blackjack: the one game where decisions matter

The aim is to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. Your choices — hit, stand, double, split — change the expected result. Basic strategy, a chart with the right action for every combination, shrinks the house edge but doesn't remove it. Check in the rules whether blackjack pays 3:2 or 6:5 and whether the dealer draws on soft 17. Those two rules change the price of the game more than any "system".

Baccarat: simple rules, fast rounds

You bet on Player, Banker or Tie; cards are drawn by fixed rules, with no decisions on your side. The Banker bet usually has slightly better odds, which is why a commission is taken from its wins. The Tie looks tempting because of its high payout, but its house edge is far larger.

Poker against the house

In variants such as Caribbean Stud or Texas Hold'em Bonus you don't play other people but the dealer's hand, against a fixed paytable. There's no bluffing — only the strength of the cards and the rule for when the dealer "qualifies". Side bets on strong hands come at a high price.

Your pace, your responsibility

A digital table has no timer: the next round starts when you press the button. That's both an advantage and a risk. The advantage is that you can stop at any moment without awkwardness. The risk is that without an outside rhythm rounds get faster and decisions less considered. A rule that helps: if you start pressing "rebet" without looking at the previous result, play has turned mechanical. Close the table and check your stop-points. More in Session control.

Tables with a real dealer are in Live casino, slots in Slots, and every game in Games.
