Exploring Napoleons casinos’ card games
At Napoleons Casinos across Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester, we pride ourselves on offering a stellar range of casino card games that cater to both seasoned players and curious newcomers. Whatever your game of choice, our live tables are supported by top-tier service.
Here’s a finely curated tour of our most popular card-table offerings:
Blackjack – Overview and How to Play
Blackjack is the quintessential casino card game – have a better hand than the dealer at the end of play without going over 21, or to be still in play when the dealer goes over 21 (busts). Starting with two cards, you can “hit” to draw more, “stand” to hold your total, or “double down” to raise the stakes with one extra card. If your hand beats the dealer’s, you win – unless you bust by exceeding 21. This is a classic game and it doesn’t get much simpler than this.
Interesting Fact
It’s said Napoleon himself was a fan of Vingt‑et-Un (French for ‘twenty-one’), a predecessor of Blackjack, and played on the remote island of St Helena to which he was exiled.
Three Card Poker – Overview and How to Play
This fast‑paced twist on poker pits your three‑card hand against the dealer’s. Begin with an Ante bet. After seeing your cards, you can “play” (match with an equal bet) or “fold”. Bonus options include side‑bets like Pair Plus, paying on poker hands regardless of the dealer’s cards.

Punto Banco – Overview and How to Play
Punto Banco is Baccarat’s simplest, most automated form. Bet on the “Player” (Punto), “Banker” (Banco), or “Tie”. Each hand aims for a total closest to nine, with fixed rules determining whether either hand receives a third card.

Poker (Texas Hold’em and Beyond) – Overview and How to Play
Our poker offering includes both casual and competitive Texas Hold’em. Players are dealt two private cards and use five shared community cards to craft the best five‑card hand. Strategic betting rounds separate the casual players from the pros.
