There are two basic types of casino games - table games and video games. The first category, the casino table games, include the popular blackjack, craps, roulette and more. The difference is, of course, that those games are often played on a table and require a live dealer or croupier to work the table. The casino table games are usually more of a social activity as all of them could (and often are) played by more than one person.

 The video games, on the other side, are usually operated by a machine and include slots, video poker, keno (sometimes) and any other form of casino game which is played via a computer (video blackjack, for example). Interaction between casino patrons are limited as only one person could play the given video game.
