Why classic table games still earn their place in online casinos

Table games have been part of casino culture for generations, and moving online has not made them any less relevant. Blackjack, baccarat, and roulette remain familiar to players, easy to understand, and flexible enough to suit different playing styles. The rules may be old, but the way these games are presented and played continues to change.

For operators, table games are still an important part of a casino portfolio. They bring proven mechanics, while online formats can add faster rounds, multiple hands, side bets, and other features that make the experience work well across devices.

BGaming takes this approach across its own table game lineup, combining well-known blackjack and roulette with different variations and, most recently, a new baccarat title.

Card games: classic rules, different ways to play

Some casino games need very little introduction. Blackjack is one of the most recognizable one. The basic idea is simple: get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over.

What changes is how the game is played. BGaming has built its blackjack range around multihand formats, allowing players to manage multiple hands in a single round. The lineup includes: Surrender Multihand Blackjack, Classic Multihand Blackjack, Blackjack Multihand Pro 2, Blackjack Multihand Pro, Blackjack Multihand.

Rather than relying on one version of blackjack, the range gives operators several takes on the same game. From the more traditional Classic Multihand Blackjack to versions with additional options, each title offers a slightly different experience while staying within a format players already understand.

The BGaming card game selection will soon expand with the Classic Baccarat title. While the gameplay follows the established Player, Banker, and Tie structure, the game is designed to make repeated rounds quicker and easier to manage. Rebet and Double buttons allow players to place chips again in seconds, while Turbo mode speeds up the pace. A scorecard helps track previous results, and a range of side bets adds more options for players looking beyond the main three outcomes.

Roulette: where every format has its own character

If blackjack and baccarat are built around cards and decisions, roulette puts the focus on a single moment: the spin. The mechanic is straightforward, but the format leaves plenty of room for variation. Players can choose numbers, colors, groups or other combinations, while different roulette versions change the rules around the wheel.

BGaming covers the main formats players are likely to encounter in online casinos: Royal Roulette 500X, European Roulette, American Roulette, French Roulette.

The differences may seem small at first, but they shape how each version plays. European Roulette keeps the wheel to a single zero, American Roulette adds a 00 pocket, while French Roulette comes with its own set of rules and betting options. Royal Roulette 500X takes the classic format in a more feature-led direction, adding a high-multiplier element to the familiar roulette experience.

This selection gives operators room to offer different takes on the same core game, from traditional roulette formats to a more modern interpretation. 

Classic table games prove their staying power

The portfolio results put the appeal of these formats into perspective. As Nikita Keino, Head of Partnerships at SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, explains: 

“Our game data analysis for June–August 2026 shows that all five BGaming blackjack titles took the first five positions in the table games category by GGR, total bet amount and number of bets. Royal Roulette 500X also ranked first in RNG roulette category across all three metrics.”

So, players are still putting significant activity behind games built on mechanics they have known for years. What makes the difference is how those mechanics are packaged for online play. Multiple hands, different roulette formats, faster rounds, side bets, and other features can give a classic game a new rhythm without making it unfamiliar.

Takeaway

Table games have a strong foundation, but that doesn’t mean they have to stay the same. The format leaves plenty of room for new variations, faster gameplay, and features that fit how players use online casinos today.

For BGaming, this creates space to keep developing the category with titles such as Classic Baccarat while staying close to what makes these games work in the first place. The result is a portfolio that can evolve with the online casino experience without losing its connection to the games players already know.
