From „Face Cards“ to „Full House“

The letter “F” also has a lot to offer in the casino ABC – from poker classics to important roles in the gaming room. Whether you're already a pro or just getting started, with this knowledge you're guaranteed to feel confident on your next visit to MERKUR Casinos . Ready for facts with finesse?

Face Cards

In card games, face cards are the kings of the deck – literally! These are the jack, queen, and king. They have faces, look noble, and often have value – usually ten points. In blackjack, they are highly sought after (especially when accompanied by an ace), and in poker, they help build strong hands. And let's be honest: a card game without faces would be kind of ... bland, wouldn't it?

Floor Manager

The floor manager isn't just there – he keeps the place running smoothly. He is the silent hero of the gaming room, keeping track of everything between chips and playing cards. His tasks: monitoring smooth operations, answering player questions, clarifying decisions, and sometimes just nodding reassuringly. When things get tense at the table, he's there – confident, friendly, and with the rules at his fingertips. And yes, he knows where to find the best snacks.

Flop

The flop is the big moment in the poker variant “Texas Hold'em” when things get serious. Three cards are placed face up on the table – and suddenly speculation turns into tactics. Does what you have in your hand fit the community game? Or is now the moment for a clever bluff? The flop is like the first act of a drama – suspense, turning points, poker face. And from here on, the decision is made: call or fold?

Fold

In Poker , folding means putting your cards down, ending your turn – and often saving your nerves. You throw your cards onto the table and say politely, “Count me out this round.” No drama, no loss of face. A good player knows when it's worth playing – and when it's smarter to fold. After all, poker is not a game for the ego, but for the brain.

Free spins

Free spins are like little gifts – you don't bet anything, but you can still win. They are triggered in slot games by certain symbols or features, bringing fresh momentum to the game. And who knows: maybe one of these “free spins” will be the starting signal for the big win. In short: no stake, but full excitement – that's what pure gaming pleasure feels like.

Full House_MERKUR SPIELBANKEN

Full House

A full house is one of those poker hands that not only sounds good, but also looks good: three cards of the same rank and two more of the same rank. Example: Three queens and two eights – that commands respect at the table and often wins the pot. It is stronger than three of a kind, but weaker than four of a kind.
