Play Casino with 2-4 players. Casino is best played with 2 people, but can be played with up to 4. The players always sit across from the dealer, unless they are playing in teams.[1] If 2 people are playing, the players sit directly across from one another. If 3 people are playing, 2 players sit across from the dealer. This seating arrangement should rotate every time the dealer changes. If 4 people are playing, split them into teams of 2 with each partner sitting across from the other.
Remove the Jokers from a standard 52-card deck. Make sure the dealer shuffles the cards well before dealing. Have a player who did not shuffle cut the deck to mix up the cards even more.[2] To cut the deck, pick up roughly half of the cards from the top of the deck. Then, place that section underneath the other section, basically swapping the top half of the deck with the bottom half of the deck.
Deal 2 cards face-down to each player except the dealer. If there are 2 players, only the person opposite the dealer receives 2 cards at this point. If there are 3 or 4 players, start with the player sitting left of the dealer and move clockwise until all players except the dealer have 2 cards.[3] There is only 1 dealer, even when playing in teams. The cards dealt to you are your hand, so you may look at them. Do not show your cards to any other player.
