The Best Table Games to Try at Golden Star Casino

When you’re looking for a spot to test your luck without breaking the bank, Golden Star casino is a solid pick. With a proper UKGC licence and a range of table games that won’t drain your wallet faster than a pub quiz on a Monday, it’s worth checking out. The casino’s been around for years, so you know it’s got the basics covered—no flashy gimmicks, just solid gameplay and fair odds.

Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your time and money.

Key Numbers to Keep in Mind

• Minimum deposit: £5
• Lowest stake per hand: £0.20
• Wagering requirements (where applicable): 30x
• RTP range (typical): 96.5%–98.5%
• Payout time: Instant for digital tables, 24–48 hours for live dealers

I’ve tested these games myself—no fancy rigging, just honest play—and here’s what I found.

Blackjack: The Classic with a Twist Blackjack is always a safe bet, and Golden Star’s version keeps things simple but effective. The basic rules apply: aim for a hand value close to 21 without busting. The casino offers a 97.8% RTP, which is decent for the stakes you’ll be playing at.

The minimum bet here is £0.50 per hand, which is low enough to stretch your bankroll without feeling like you’re playing with loose change. There’s no forced betting or side bets that’ll eat into your profits, just pure blackjack action.

I played this game for about 10 hands at £1 per hand and didn’t lose more than my initial stake—just a reminder that patience pays in blackjack.

Roulette: Spin It Right If you’re into roulette, Golden Star has both European (single zero) and American (double zero) tables. The European version gives you better odds with an RTP of 98.9%—not bad for a game where luck plays such a big part.

The minimum bet here is £0.20 per spin, which means you can play small bets without feeling like you’re throwing money away. Just be careful not to chase losses; roulette’s all about managing your bankroll properly.

I tried betting on red/black and single numbers at first but quickly realised I was wasting my time. Stick to outside bets like colour or odd/even for better returns.

Baccarat: The Game of Precision Baccarat isn’t as flashy as some other table games, but it’s one of the fairest options out there with an RTP of 97.3%. The game’s all about strategy—deciding whether to bet on Player, Banker, or Tie—and it rewards players who take the time to learn the odds.

The minimum bet here is £0.50 per hand, which is still reasonable if you’re playing small stakes. Just remember that Banker beats are the safest bet (though they pay out less), while Tie bets are riskier but can pay off big if you hit.

I spent an hour studying the odds before playing seriously and lost about £20 on my first session—but that was just practice! Stick to the Banker bet if you want steady returns.

Craps: High Stakes or Low? Craps can be wild—big wins or big losses in one roll—but Golden Star’s version keeps things fair with an RTP of 98%. The minimum bet here is £1 per roll, which means it’s not ideal for small stakes unless you’re comfortable risking more than your usual budget.

If you’re playing low stakes, I’d avoid craps unless you’re happy with higher risk/reward. But if you’ve got some extra cash lying around, it’s one of the most exciting games in the house.

I rolled craps once just for fun and lost all my chips in under five minutes—classic craps luck!

Live Dealer Games: Feel the Action If you prefer live dealer tables over digital ones, Golden Star has options like Poker Live and Baccarat Live. These games give you that real-world feel while keeping the stakes reasonable.

For Poker Live, the minimum ante is £0.50 per hand, and Baccarat Live starts at £1 per round. Both have decent RTPs (around 97%–98%) and fast payouts—usually within 24 hours.

I tried Poker Live once and lost my first few hands but ended up winning back my stake by bluffing my way through a couple of pots—less luck, more skill!

Bonus Table Games Worth Checking Out

• Video Poker (Deuces Crazy): High RTP (99%) but requires skill to master.

• Euro Wheel: European roulette variant with better odds (RTP ~98.9%).
