Casino-ABC: Letter Q
From “Quad” to “Queen
The letter “Q” doesn’t offer all that many terms for our Casino ABC. Nevertheless, you can look forward to terms from the worlds of poker, roulette and blackjack that you should know.
We explain the most important terms beginning with “Q” in a way that not only helps you understand them, but also enables you to use them with complete confidence on your next visit to the MERKUR Casinos.
quads
In poker, a player has quads when they hold four cards of the same rank, for example four aces or four nines. This hand is also known as four of a kind. It is one of the strongest poker hands possible and therefore occurs only rarely.
Anyone holding quads can usually be very pleased. The chances of another player having an even stronger hand are about as likely as being unexpectedly visited by four real kings while playing cards.
Queen
The queen is a card in a deck of playing cards. Together with the king and jack, it belongs to the face cards and features in many casino games.
In poker, a queen can form part of strong hand combinations – especially when two of them appear. In blackjack , it is worth 10 points, just like the king and jack.
