Board games: roulette, blackjack, poker
Board games are a hallmark of Spanish casinos. Unlike the "show format" of Las Vegas, Spain relies on classic style: European roulette, blackjack and poker are served in a chamber atmosphere, with strict adherence to the rules and an emphasis on guest comfort. Below is a practical guide to confidently sit at the table both in a land casino and in a legal online segment.
1) Roulette (European)
Basic rules
A wheel with one "0" (European standard) is used.
Betting field: internal (specific numbers/combinations) and external (red/black, even/odd, dozens, columns).
Round: acceptance of bets → "please, no more bets" → rotation → payout.
Typical coefficients
Straight Up - 35: 1
Split - 17: 1
Street - 11: 1
Corner-8: 1
Line - 5: 1
Dozen/Column - 2: 1
Chet/Odd, Red/Black, 1-18/19-36 - 1: 1
Limits and chips
Often each table has its own lows/highs; in resort areas (Canaries, Costa del Sol) in the evenings the lows are higher.
At land casinos, each player is given colored chips for the convenience of the dealer; the rating is set separately.
Councils
Start with outside bets (1:1, 2:1) for a "soft" entry.
Keep bankroll at 20-40 minimum rates; Fix the loss limit in advance.
Do not put after "no more bets" - this is a violation of etiquette.
2) Blackjack
The goal of the game is to collect the amount of cards closer to 21 than the dealer, without "going through" (more than 21).
Key rules (typical Spanish profile)
Decks: 6-8.
Blackjack (A + 10/jack/lady/king) is paid 3:2 (in some clubs it can be 6:5 - check).
Double (double): Generally allowed on 9/10/11, often on any two cards (varies by home).
Splits: pairs can be split; an ace split is usually limited to one card per hand.
S17/H17: the dealer more often stands on "soft" 17 (A + 6), but in some houses - "beret" (H17).
Basic strategy (minimum for start)
Against "2-6" at the dealer - play more aggressively (more often double and stand).
Against "7-A" - be careful (more often hit to a safe amount).
Never take insurance unless you are counting cards (this is not allowed at the casino).
Bankroll and timing
Keep a reserve of 40-50 minimum bets per session.
Record win-stop/lose-stop (e.g. + 30 %/-30% of bankroll) and observe discipline.
3) Poker (casino options and "player versus player")
Formats in Spain
Casino Poker vs. Dealer: Caribbean/Ultimate Texas/Three Card - quick batches, clear rules, fixed payouts.
Poker Rooms (cash/MTT): Texas Hold'em and Omaha. In large cities and resorts - cash tables and regular tournaments.
Online poker: licensed. es rooms with regular MTT, Sit & Go grids, cache and series.
Cash game: base tables
Limits: typically €1/€ 2, €2/€ 5; at night and on weekends, higher are found.
Buy-in: min/max depend on the table; in tourist areas, the lower threshold is kept democratic.
Tournaments (MTT)
Buy-ins - from "amateur" to medium; the schedule is posted in advance.
Structures in Spain are more often playable (not "turbo") to give a chance for post-flop.
Etiquette
Dealer "button," blinds, procedure - strictly in turn.
Protect the cards with a chip or hand, do not discuss the distribution in the process, do not reveal the cards until showdown.
Phone: on many tables is allowed, but without puffs.
4) Online vs offline: what to consider
Online (licensed. es)
Automatic verification (KYC), deposit and time limits, cooling periods.
Live tables with real dealers: roulette/blackjack/poker games with Spanish-language support.
Transparent session history and one-click self-exclusion.
Offline (land casinos)
18 + and entry document (passport/ID).
Dress code from free to smart casual (in VIP zones stricter).
Opening hours vary; in the evening, betting lows may rise.
5) Bankroll Management and Responsible Gaming
Rule 1: Allocate a fixed budget for the evening and do not exceed it.
Rule 2: Decide the time limit in advance (for example, 90 minutes at roulette, 60 at blackjack).
Rule 3: Use online self-monitoring tools: deposit/loss/time limits, reminders.
Rule 4: Take breaks - 5-10 minutes after an hour of play reduces the impulsiveness of decisions.
Rule 5: do not "fight back" - if you reach lose-stop, end the session.
6) Regional nuances and where to look for a comfortable game
Madrid, Catalonia (Barcelona): large casinos with a full line of tables, poker rooms and evening prime.
Andalusia (Marbella/Malaga): resort flow, active evenings, elevated minimums on roulette in season.
Canary Islands: mild atmosphere, mix of tourists and local players; convenient for the "first experience."
Balears: in the summer, heavy traffic, in the offseason - more chamber.
7) Frequent rookie mistakes (and how to avoid them)
1. Chasing "series" in roulette. Each spin is independent - do not raise the stakes because of the "red three times in a row."
2. Insurance in blackjack. Mathematically disadvantageous at a distance.
3. Overplay weak aces in poker. On full tables, A-x offsets below average strength; don't overstate the value.
4. Lack of a plan. Enter the table with pre-set limits and exit strategy.
5. Gaming fatigue. Pause, watch the focus - errors grow by the end of a long session.
8) Mini cheat sheet by odds and terms
Roulette
European (one "0") - home advantage ~ 2.70%.
External bets (1:1) - low dispersion, a good choice for the start.
Blackjack
With the classic rules and basic strategy, the home advantage can fall below 1%.
Keep the table of the basic strategy in your head: hit/stand/double/split.
Poker
This is a game between players - manage positions, ranges and bankroll.
In tournaments, value survival: Don't play marginal stacks for no reason.
