see below to learn the rules for each particular Casino Game.
 Baccarat
rules
The object of Baccarat is to hold 2 or 3 cards, which count 9, or as
near to 9 as possible. The values of the cards are: face cards and tens
are worth zero, aces are 1, and any other card is worth its face value.
Units of 10 points are disregarded so that 9+7 count as 6, not 16.
The dealer will deal out cards to both the player and dealer. Depending
on the value the initial 2-card hands, a third card may be dealt to
either one of the hands. Ultimately the winning hand will be the one
closest to 9. When a tie arises, that is considered a push, just like in
Blackjack, and the bet is returned to the player. You may also bet on
the tie, which is paid off at 8 to 1. |
 Blackjack
rules
Blackjack originates from France and is one the most popular casino
games in the world. The main objective is to get as close to 21 without
going over while still beating the dealer's hand. This is done by
counting up the value of the cards in your hand. There is a 6 deck shoe
in our Blackjack game. All cards numbered 2 through 10 are at face
value. All face cards are valued at 10 while an ace is valued at either
1 or 11 at the player's discretion. Hands containing an ace valued at 11
are considered to be "soft" hands (i.e. A, 6 is a soft 17), while hands
containing an ace valued at 1 are considered "hard" hands (i.e. A, 6, Q
is a hard 17). A Blackjack hand is an ace and card valued at 10 (10, J,
Q, K). A two-card Blackjack always beats three or more cards, which
equal 21.Before receiving any cards the player must place a wager. Once
the wager is made the player is dealt 2 cards face up. The dealer is
also dealt two cards, one face up and the other face down. The dealer's
"hole" card remains face down until the players have completed their
hands. At this point the dealer turns over his hole card. If his hand
totals a hard 17 through 21 he must stand. If his hand is 16 or under,
the dealer must continue to take cards until either his hand is over 16
or "bust" (which means over 21). The dealer must hit on a soft 16. |
 Craps
rules
To many people, Craps is their favorite casino game. It is fast,
exciting and wild. It appears to be complicated at first but in
actuality is it very simple. On the first roll (the come out roll), the
shooter is trying to establish a point with one of the following
numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 ,10. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 the wager is
paid off at even money. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 then the
wager is lost. If the shooter rolls a point number, then it progresses
to the next stage where the shooter has to roll the same number again
before it hits 7. |
 Sic
Bo rules
Sic Bo is a game somewhat like roulette in that there are many
places on the table to place bets. Three (3) dice are used to determine
the outcome of the betting. Once you have finished placing your bets
click on the roll button. |
 Pai
Gow rules
Pai Gow is played with a 53-card deck consisting of a standard
52-card deck with 1 wild card. The object of the game is to split your
hand into a five-card hand and a two-card hand with both hands beating
the dealer's two hands to win. The wild card is not a true wild card and
has specific rules. The card only acts as an Ace or the fifth card in
either a flush or a straight. It cannot be used to make a pair of 10's
or Queens.
After you receive your seven cards you must split them into two hands, a
five-card hand and a two-card hand. The five-card hand must always rank
higher than the two-card hand. To do this move the mouse pointer over
the cards you want to make your two-card hand. Click on the two cards
one at a time and they will split out of the deck. Notice that once you
have chosen an eligible two-card hand (not better than your five-card
hand) the split button becomes available. If you are happy with your
choice click on this split button and you will have your two playing
hands. If you are not satisfied with your choices click on the card or
cards which you want to change and they will go back into your
seven-card hand. Now choose the new cards you wish to play with. You may
do this until you press the split button at which point your hands are
locked-in. The dealer will then split his hand and the game will play
itself out. |
 Caribbean
stud poker rules
This table game is played with one deck. The player has two ways of
making money from this stud game. The first is similar to other table
games. The player places an ante on the space provided on the table. The
dealer will deal a hand of five cards to the player and a hand of five
cards to himself. The final card dealt to the dealer is dealt face up so
that the player can see the value of the card. At this point the player
can see all five of their cards and one of the dealers. Now the player
can make the decision to fold or bet. If the player chooses to fold, the
hand and ante is surrendered to the dealer and a new hand begins. If the
player chooses to bet, and therefore compares their hand to the dealer's
hand, the player has to place the bet on the table. The bet has to be
twice the value of the ante, no more, no less. |
 Roulette
rules
Roulette consists of a wheel with 38 numbers, these include the
numbers 1-36, 0, and 00. After all the bets have been established the
wheel is spun and a ball is placed on the outer edge of the wheel. The
ball will then drop into one of the numbered pockets once the wheel
slows down. The numbers on the wheel alternate pairs of odd numbers with
pairs of even numbers and alternate between black and red. The two zeros
are green in color and are placed at opposite ends of the wheel. The
object of the game is to determine which number or color the ball with
ultimately land on.
The table layout is arranged so that the 36 numbers are arranged in 3
columns of 12 numbers each. The numbers are in sequence, and can be
either red or black, depending on the number. There are two types of
roulette bets: inside bets and outside bets. The 6 inside bets: straight
bet, split bet, street bet, corner bet, five number bet, and a line bet.
There are three basic outside bets: even-money, column, and dozen bets.
You can place as many different types of bets at any time. There are no
limits to the number of wagers placed on each spin.
When playing the game of Roulette at online casinos, there is a usually
a winning number display at the top right of your screen to help you
find the previous winning numbers. The common perception is that if a
number has not been shown as winning in a long time, it could be time to
put a stake on that number.
