Random number games may be played at a table or through the purchase of paper tickets or cards, such as keno or bingo.

Random number games are based on the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment. Table games are usually conducted by casino employees known as croupiers or dealers. Tables games, such as blackjack or craps, involve one or more players who are competing against the house (the casino itself) rather than each other. Gaming machines, such as slot machines and pachinko, are usually played by one player at a time and do not require the involvement of casino employees. There are three general categories of casino games: gaming machines, table games, and random number games. Casino games can also be played outside of casinos for entertainment purposes, like in parties or in school competitions, on machines that simulate gambling.Ĭategories Overhead view of a casino floor with table games (bottom) and slot machines Casino games are also available in online casinos, where permitted by law.
