Roulette
Species and mathematics
Rates and payments (standard):- Even-money: red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36 - 1:1.
- Dozen/column - 2:1.
- Plené (one number) - 35:1; split (2) - 17:1; street (3) - 11:1; quad (4) - 8:1; six (6) - 5:1.
Player tips
Choose European/French roulette where possible.
For a long game - focus on even-money bets; for "peak" sessions - combine with 1-2 direct numbers.
Avoid dogon (martingale) systems: variance + table limits = high risk of bankruptcy.
Online/Live
Live tables with multipliers (Lightning/XXXtreme, etc.) add high multipliers, but increase the effective house edge on direct numbers - keep this in mind.
Blackjack
Basic rules (classic)
The goal is to collect more points than the dealer, not exceeding 21. Aces - 1 or 11; figures - 10.
Payment for blackjack (A + 10) is usually 3:2; some games give 6:5 - this is worse for the player.
Actions: hit, stand, double, split; sometimes surrender (early/late).
Settings and their impact on house edge
House edge landmarks:- With good rules and a basic strategy - ≈0. 4–0. 6%.
- With 6:5 and without DAS - noticeably higher.
Basic strategy (brief)
Two aces and eights are always split.
Tens/fives are not split.
Dowble: 11 to 2-10; 10 vs. 2-9; 9 against 3-6 (variant from the rules).
Rack: solid 17 + always; soft hands are played flexibly (A,7 stands against 2/7/8, gets against 9-A).
Use the basic strategy table for specific table rules.
Online/Live
Blackjack with ranked places (Unlimited/All Bets) and side betas (Perfect Pairs, 21 + 3) is convenient, but side betas have a high house edge (usually 3-10% +).
Poker
Cash and tournaments
Texas Hold'em - dominant format, 6-max/9-max cache tables; MTT/Sit & Go tournaments online and offline.
Omaha (PLO) is the second most popular destination among experienced players.
Table economics
Cash: rake with a cap (fixed maximum from the bank).
Tournaments: buy-in (part - to the prize pool), rake/fee - site commission.
Free promotional satellites and guaranteed prize money are frequent online promotions.
Basic strategy tips
Pre-flop: tight aggressive style (TAG), play positionally; expand range on the button, narrow from early positions.
Post-flop: Evaluate the texture of the board, use contet from position, control the size of the can with marginal hands.
Bankroll management: for a cache of 50-100 buy-ins per limit; for MTT - 100-200 buy-ins due to dispersion.
Tilt control: breaks, auto-limits, fixed hours of play.
Etiquette and compliance
At the table - do not discuss distributions in the process, monitor the speed of action; ID checks and responsible play rules are the norm.
Limits, payments, tips
Offline: minimum roulette/blackjack rates vary by venue and time of day; in VIP zones, the limits are significantly higher.
Online/Live: the choice of limits is wider (from micro to high-roller), quick payments when KYC is passed.
Dealer tip (offline): voluntary; usually rounding with small-denomination chips after a successful session.
Bankroll management and RG (responsible game)
Set deposit/loss/time limits in advance.
Keep track of sessions: date, duration, outcome, feeling tired.
Use "timeouts" and self-exclusion if you feel a loss of control.
Do not play in a state of fatigue/stress; don't "catch up" after a series of downsides.
Online: Live-casino for Peru
Spanish-language dealers, local chats and quick deposits (Yape/Plin) increase comfort.
Fast start showcases (auto solutions in roulette, basic tips in blackjack) are a good choice for beginners.
Check the rules of a specific table (payouts, S17/H17, surrender, number of decks).
Mini-FAQ
Which roulette is more profitable?
European/French. American with "00" is best avoided.
What kills returns in blackjack?
Payout is 6-5 for blackjack and a post-split dowble ban. Look for 3:2 and friendly rules.
Which poker to start with?
Texas Hold’em. Learn the basics of positions, ranges and bankroll control.
Online or offline?
Online faster and more flexible in terms of limits; offline - atmosphere and communication. The choice depends on goals and experience.
For Peruvian players, board games are a balance of math and discipline. It is more profitable to choose European/French roulette, competent blackjack rules (3:2, S17, DAS, surrender) and play poker with a clear bankroll plan. Online Live makes it easy to log in from your smartphone and pay locally, and offline tables provide atmosphere and VIP service. The main thing is risk control and compliance with your limits.
