Casino Games-The Skat Game

The rules of Skat are not easy. But just like with any other game, you should be able to learn these rules quite quickly if you try this game a few times. Let’s take a look at the different versions of Skat.

The rear hand (the dealer at the skat game) divides the cards as follows: 3 cards on the front hand (left rear), 3 cards to the metacarpal (right of the quarters), 3 cards to himself and 2 cards on the Skat or floor (the center). Then again, he deals 4 cards on the front hand, the metacarpal and rear, and finally another 3 to each.

Each player plays a Skat game against other two. The declarer can decide whether he receives the Skat or rather plays by the hand. If he chooses the Skat, he can choose which 10 cards he wants to keep and which two he returns. It should be noted that both of these casino games except zero "pressed" cards.

Color match

This is the classic bridge game featuring a Trump - which is represented by a color. This is determined by the single player, who can adapt it to his hand. The aim of the game is to get a higher score than the opponents. A maximum of 120 points is distributed per game. This is set according to the values of each card:

Card type Points per card/4 cards

7s, 8s, 9s 0 / 0

10 10 / 40

Jack 2 / 8

Dame 3 / 12

King 4 / 16

Ace 11 / 44

Total 120

These points can be reached by deciding the card tricks of your own. The points of the two participants who play as a team are to be summed up.

As with all popular card games, this game also starts from the left side of the transmitter (front hand). He now plays a card and lets the others know about the color of the Trump. This means that they must play the same color if they have them in their hand. Everyone plays only one card each round. He who has the highest card wins the pot and puts it aside and the points are counted at the end of the game.

If you cannot confess, you have to decide: Will you "throw away" a card or do you want to "Ditch" a Trump card, which means that you play a different color that is not a Trump card. However, this trick can never be a winner, but the scores are counted in the payroll.

For example: the front hand plays alone against the metacarpal and rear one. The Trump is the key. If you have a Queen on the front hand, then play a heart king on the metacarpal hand. If the hind has no heart, the partner has already won the metacarpal hand. Now hindquarters should naturally extract as many points as possible for themselves and the metacarpal should go for a 10 of spades. Although 10 is a higher card than a king (4 points), the win goes to the metacarpal hand because there is neither a heart (the colors) nor a trump.

Hand game

The declarer may not ask for other cards if he is content with the cards that he had on the first hand. The advantage with not receiving the Skat is that you can win at this game by getting more points, but this is true both for the single player and for his opponents. This increases your payout.

You can play a handheld game both by color and you can look for a zero and a grand open hand. Indeed, casino games are fun and challenging at the same time.

The ouvert hand


"Ouvert" comes from the French word meaning "open". This is taken literally in this game. The game is to be played literally with open cards, which means that the cards are displayed on the table in front of the opponents. An ouvert should therefore be a very good hand. The opponents should have no chance to win this game. You usually get an ouvert at a Grand or a zero variant and you can also play the colors. An ouvert hand can only be related to the previous profit levels of play.
