Board games: roulette, blackjack, poker
The Netherlands is a mature and disciplined market for board games. Offline is dominated by the Holland Casino network (classic tables, poker rooms and major tournaments), online - licensed operators with live casinos (tables with live dealers and RNG versions). Regulator - Kansspelautoriteit (KSA); there is a CRUKS self-exclusion register and a strict "duty of care" for operators.
Roulette
Versions and Rules
European (single-zero) - standard in the market; wheel with one "0," classic betting layout (inside/outside).
French is closer to European, but with La Partage/En Prison rules for even/odd, red/black, and other equal chances.
American (double-zero) - rare due to the higher advantage of the casino.
Casino probabilities and advantages
European: ~ 2.70%.
French with La Partage/En Prison (on a level playing field): up 1.35%
American: ~ 5.26% - usually avoided in the Netherlands.
Practice and culture
"Long" evening sessions at French tables are popular offline.
Online - live tables (classics + lightning/multipliers in separate show variations); players appreciate transparent limits and pace.
Player tips
Prefer European/French roulette.
Don't rely on "betting systems": they don't change the maths of the wheel.
Keep a fixed pot and time limit.
Blackjack
Basic rules
The goal is to bypass the dealer by gaining an amount closer to 21 without brute force. Key actions: hit/stand, double, split, sometimes surrender. Ace = 1 or 11.
Rules that affect math
DAS (Double After Split) reduces casino advantage.
S17/H17: the casino either stops at soft-17 (S17) or takes a card (H17); S17 is more profitable for the player.
Resplit Aces/Hit Split Aces are rare but improve odds.
Late Surrender - the option to hand over and lose part-time; useful in tough situations.
Shuz for 6-8 decks is the standard for live tables.
Casino advantage
With "loyal" rules and basic strategy - about 0.4-0.6%.
Without a strategy and with "tough" rules - noticeably higher.
Player tips
Reference the basic solution table (for applicable rules).
Side-beta (Perfect Pairs, 21 + 3, etc.) - entertaining, but with a higher advantage of the casino.
Lock in loss/win limits and don't catch up.
Poker
In the Netherlands, both player-versus-player games (cash tables and offline tournaments) and online casino poker games are developed.
Player versus player poker
Texas Hold'em is the main cache and tournament format.
Notable series include major festivals in Amsterdam (historically Master Classics of Poker).
In the casino - the rocket model: commission from the bank/buy-in; strict standards of table behaviour.
Casino Poker vs Dealer (live/RNG)
Casino Hold'em, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud are popular options where the mathematical advantage is fixed in the rules of the game.
Online live gives a fast pace and availability 24/7; players appreciate a clear demonstration of rules, payouts and side bets.
Player tips
In tournaments/cache - bankroll management (buy-in ≤ 1-2% bankroll for the tournament series/session).
In Casino Poker - explore the tables of optimal call/raise solutions (especially at UTH/Caribbean).
Watch the tight image: the Netherlands respects discipline and etiquette at the table.
Offline vs online
Offline (Holland Casino):- Atmosphere, live dynamics, strict dress code in some locations.
- Professional croupiers, beginner training, poker rooms with a schedule of cash games and tournament days.
- Clear control of responsible play: age/personality checks, RG inform racks.
- Live tables (roulette/blackjack/poker) + RNG versions.
- Access to tables of rules and payments with one click, personal limits, "timeouts," betting history.
- Separate tables with Dutch-speaking dealers from leading live content providers.
Bankroll management and liability
Set daily/weekly deposit, loss and time limits.
Use session timers and "pauses" after a series of quick hands/spins.
At signs of "catching up" or emotional overheating - time out or self-exclusion (CRUKS).
Never mix a game bank with a household budget.
Quick checklist for three games
Roulette: Go for European/French; play equal chances with La Partage; avoid "dogon" systems.
Blackjack: look for tables with S17, DAS, if possible - Late Surrender; play a basic strategy.
Poker: separate bankroll, keep margin on variance in cache; in casino poker, use optimal decision tables.
Board games in the Netherlands are a combination of Holland Casino's classic offline school and tech-friendly online live. Players value low-edge European/French roulette, "fair" blackjack rules and poker table discipline. Licensing, CRUKS and the culture of responsible play make the market safer and more transparent - provided the player himself consciously manages risk and time.
