What's the name of the game?

If casino gambling is as foreign to you as playing baseball on the moon, don't be intimidated. Most table games are easy to learn, and as long as your goal is just to have fun, they can provide hours of entertainment. Beginners often have an easier time learning during the casino's slow hours -- particularly weekday mornings and afternoons -- when there are fewer players and dealers are willing to be more helpful. Some casinos also offer group lessons during these off-peak times.
