Table Games: Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat Without the Casino Floor

Table games are the casino classics in digital form: a roulette wheel, a blackjack shoe and a baccarat layout, run by software instead of a dealer. This guide explains how each one works, what the rules variations mean for you, and how table limits are set. It does not list specific tables or limits for the Cosmos lobby — those are shown in each table's own panel and can change. To see the whole lobby, visit the games overview; for the full account guide, go to the home page.

Software tables in a nutshell

In a software table game, a random number generator deals the cards or picks the winning number. You play at your own pace: no betting window, no other players to wait for. That makes these games good for learning the rules — where the lobby offers a demo, you can practise decisions without staking anything. It also makes them fast, so the habits described at the end of this page matter.

Roulette: read the wheel type first

Roulette has two common wheels. The European wheel has a single zero; the American wheel adds a double zero. That extra pocket increases the house edge on most bets, so the wheel type is the first thing to check in the table's information. Bets fall into two groups: inside bets on single numbers or small groups, which pay more but hit rarely, and outside bets such as red or black, odd or even, which hit more often and pay less. Some versions add special rules for even-money bets when zero comes up; the rules panel says whether that applies.

Blackjack: the decisions that matter

Blackjack is the table game where your choices change the expected result. You try to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21, deciding whether to hit, stand, double down or split pairs. A "basic strategy" chart — the mathematically best decision for each combination of your hand and the dealer's up-card — narrows the house edge, but never removes it. Rules vary between tables: how many decks are used, whether the dealer stands on a soft 17, what a blackjack pays. Those details shift the odds, so read them in the table's panel before playing.

Baccarat: simple bets, fixed drawing rules

In baccarat you do not play a hand; you bet on which of two hands — Player or Banker — will finish closer to nine, or on a tie. Cards are drawn according to fixed rules, so there are no decisions after the bet. The Banker bet usually carries a commission on wins, and the Tie bet pays more but hits rarely. Side bets exist on many tables; each has its own odds, explained in the rules.

Table limits and how to choose a table

Every table has a minimum and maximum stake, set by the operator per table. Choose a table whose minimum is small relative to your budget, so a few losing rounds do not end the session immediately. Avoid betting systems that double the stake after each loss: table maximums and your own budget stop them long before they "recover" anything.

Account habits for the tables

Because software tables have no waiting time, sessions can run long. Set a deposit limit and a session reminder before you start, keep your verification complete so withdrawals are not held up, and use the bet history to review what you staked. If a hand or spin looks wrong, note the time and contact the operator's support. Our limits and time-out guide explains the tools in detail.

Questions about table games

What is the difference between European and American roulette?
A European wheel has one zero; an American wheel has a single zero and a double zero. The extra pocket increases the house edge on most bets, which is why the wheel type is worth checking in the table's rules.
Is blackjack a game of skill?
Partly. Your decisions — hit, stand, double, split — affect the expected result, and basic strategy reduces the house edge. It never removes it, and no system guarantees a profit.
Why do two tables of the same game have different limits?
Each table's minimum and maximum stake is set by the operator, and rules can vary between versions. The table's information panel shows both before you place a bet.
