Pai Gow Poker. It's a slow, relaxing game. I like it becaus eyou lose your money more slowly than playing three card, blackjack, etc.
This is how it works:
Everyone is dealt 7 cards, dealer included. Each player makes two poker hands out of the 7 cards, 1 5 card hand and 1 2 card hand. The one rule is that your 2card hand cannot be better than your 5 card hand (i.e. if you have one pair, it has to go in your 5 card hand). The dealer compares their hands to your hands.If both of your hands beat both of the dealers hands, respectively, you win (Usually a 4.75 payout on a 5 dollar bet). If the dealer beats both of your handswith both of his hands, the dealer takes your money. If you each win one hand, you keep your money.
The game ends in a draw a lot, with you keeping your money. The casino makes money by only giving you a 95% payout if you win. But, because of the high amountof draws and the time it takes to play a round, this game is very low risk, low reward. I like to play it when I first go in to a casino or after I lose moneyand am waiting for friends.
Washington 18+ casinos only have card games though, so if I were you i would definitely check out roulette. I'd probably mess around with craps too, butthe amount of different bets would be too much for me to learn on my first time playing.
