Where can I find detailed game discussions for less common casino games?
Hi all - does anyone have any pointers to more information on rare games (i. e., how to play, probabilities, strategy, etc.)? It would be great if there was a "games wiki" or another gaming resource that detailed the rules and strategies for rarely-played casino games.

Don’t worry; I’m not alone. Hey fellow nerds! We’ve got a community of like-minded folks gathering around the fire here on the “RAREcasinoGames” subreddit. For those with a more analytical bent, the “Wizard of Odds” website has some great resources even for the rarer games. And be sure to tune in to the “Casino Explored” YouTube channel – they always have a breakdown of the less-known games, complete with data and strategy tips. Join the conversation on the “Casino Curious” Discord server – you’ll meet people who are just as passionate about exploring the inner workings of niche games as we are. Oh, and if you happen to find yourself at a table featuring any of these rare games, take a photo and post it! Our community will appreciate it. Keep crunching those numbers and keep finding those gems!
r/Casino and r/Gambling on Reddit are good starting places. Websites like Wizard of Odds and Gambling Universe provide information about niche games (Sic Bo, various flavors of baccarat, Spanish 21). Wiki-like sites like ThePit and Wizard’s Game Odds include comprehensive rules, house edge calculations, and basic strategies at the level of detail I describe above. If you have something specific in mind, let me know!
So, here I go:
To learn more about specific unusual casino games, try [Our Casino Game Wiki], Reddit r/tablegames, or other specialist forums. These often include comprehensive explanations of the rules, probabilities, and optimal betting strategies for games such as Keno, various Baccarat variants, and Sic Bo. Or, for those really into probability theory, there are detailed analyses of lesser-known games on Wizard of Odds. You can also ask professional casino dealers – some know a surprising amount about obscure variants. The rabbit hole goes deep, and there are many more oddities to explore.
If you look at Reddit’s r/oddgambling and r/blackjack, they have posts about odder games like Keno, different versions of Baccarat, and some local variants. You can also consult the Wizard of Odds, who breaks down rules and payoffs, as well as any “Casino Verite” group – they often have strategy posts. Let me know which game you prefer, and I’ll help you find a post or guide. Some of these games are not pure gambles; there is a strategic component, and some will even involve a house edge. I can help you find information on that.
