Blackjack
The objective of Blackj
ack is for a player to come as close to 21 without going
over,
while still having a higher number than the dealer. Prior to
receiving any cards, the player must place a wager.
Once the wager is made, the player is dealt two cards face up.
The dealer is also dealt two cards.
If the total value of the player's cards is closer to 21 than
the dealer, the player wins as much as he wagered.
The player wins if the dealer goes over 21.
Baccarat
Although many people do not know how to play, Baccara
t is actually one of the easiest casino games to play.
It has been played in various forms since the early 1800's. This
Internet Casino offers the most popular version of baccarat, as
found in most casinos in Las Vegas.
In Baccarat, cards are dealt to two hands, named Player and
Banker. The object of the game is to correctly pick which hand
will have the higher score. You can also place a bet on Tie,
which pays 9 to 1.
To play Baccarat you simply choose whether you want to bet on
Player, Banker, Tie, or any combination of the three.
Craps
To play the game of Craps,
place your bets by placing chips on the Craps table. The table
seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets. Critical
to the understanding of craps is that it is a game of rounds.
The first roll in a round is called the come out roll. Sometimes
the outcome of a round will be determined on the come out roll.
In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll
immediately ends a round. If any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6,
8, 9, or 10) that number is called the point. The dealer will
place a white puck on an area of the table to designate what the
point is, in case you forget. If a point is rolled the dice will
be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again or a
7.
Casino War
The objective of Casin
o War, is for a player to have a higher card than the
dealer. If the player's card is higher, then the player wins 2
times the amount wagered. In the case where the value of the
player's card and the dealer's card is the same, the player can
either fold or choose to "go to war" by raising the bet. If the
player folds, the amount wagered is automatically lost.
If the player raises, an amount equal to the original wager is
added to the bet and both the dealer and player receive three
cards face down, and another card face-up. The highest face-up
card wins. In the case of a win, player receives a win 2 times
the amount wagered plus the raise amount.
For example, a player's wager (ante) is $5 and the player
raises $5 and the player's card is higher than the dealer, the
player would win two times the amount of the wager (ante) and
will win the raise amount, which is a total $15. However, if the
card is lower than that of the dealer, the player loses the
wager (in the case above, the player would lose $10, both the
wager (ante) and the raise). If after a war the player and the
dealer have the same card value, then the player wins
American Roulette
American Roulette is the modern game of Roulette found in
most casinos, especially those in Las Vegas.
Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino games in
the world. It is also one of the simplest to play. The game of
American Roulette consists of a wheel with 38 stops, and a ball
that can land with equal chance in any of those stops. Players
make wagers by placing chips in the betting areas of the
Roulette table. After all bets are placed, the ball is spun and
eventually lands on a number. Wagers placed on the winning
number or on groups that include the winning number are paid a
multiple of the bet. The house collects all other wagers.
European Roulette
European Roulette is similar to American Roulette except
that the table is laid out in the traditional European format,
and the Roulette wheel and table each have only one "0" on them.

Caribbean Stud Poker
Caribbean Stud Poker is standard Five-Card Stud Poker
with a slight twist: one of the dealer's cards is always
displayed. Players compete against the dealer, rather than other
players. The objective of the game is to beat the dealer's hand.
There is also a Progressive jackpot available with this game. To
play, place a side bet of $1. If the player is dealt any of the
Progressive Pay Table Hand Rankings, he may win all or a portion
(depending on his hand rank) of the progressive jackpot. The
current jackpot is displayed at the top, which increases as
players place these side bets.
To place a progressive bet, click on the coin slot. The light
on top of the slot will light up red to show that you've placed
the progressive bet. To undo the bet, simply click on the slot
again.
Let Em Ride
Let
Em Ride is a variation of poker, except that the player
plays against the house and does not compete against the dealer
or other players. The player is dealt three cards and the dealer
is dealt two. The objective of the game is to get any winning
poker hand consisting of a pair of 10's or higher, using all
five cards.
After placing the ante bet, the player receives three cards face
up, and the dealer receives two cards face down. The player
decides whether or not he wants to raise the original bet (by
the same amount as the original bet), or continue without a
raise to the next round of play. Once the player decides to
raise or continue, the dealer's first card will be shown. Now
the player has another opportunity to raise or continue. If he
decides to raise, the bet will again increase by the original
bet amount. After the player raises or continues, the dealer's
second (last) card is shown.
After the dealer's last card is shown, the player's hand is
evaluated as a normal poker hand, combining the player's three
cards and the dealer's two cards. If the player has a pair of
tens or any higher winning poker hand, the player wins.
Otherwise, the player loses.
Pai Gow Poker
Pa
i Gow Poker is a card game played with a 53-card deck
consisting of a standard deck of 52 cards plus one Joker. In
this version of Pai Gow Poker, the banker (or house) always
plays as the dealer and covers all bets, and the player only
competes against the dealer. The player receives seven cards,
which must then be "set" or split into two poker hands: a
five-card hand and a two-card hand. Once split, the player's two
hands are compared with the dealer's two hands to determine the
winner.
The bank pays the winner--minus a 5% commission--and the game
ends. The commission is 5% of the bet and is rounded up to the
next quarter. For example, a minimum bet of $6 would be a
commission of 50 cents. (5% of $6 = 30 cents, but since the
commission is rounded up to the next 25 cents; the commission is
actually 50 cents. 5% of $11 = 55 cents, which makes the actual
commission 75 cents.)
Red Dog
Red
Dog is a simple game from the old West played with three
cards. After receiving two cards, the player wins if the next
card dealt is ranked between the first two cards. If all three
cards are the same rank, the player wins 11 to 1. After placing
the initial bet, the player receives two cards. If the two cards
are different, the player must decide either to raise the bet
(with an amount equal to the initial bet) or continue with the
current bet before receiving the third card.
The player wins if the third card falls numerically between the
first two cards. Winning hands are paid based on the spread
between the first two cards--how far apart the first two cards
rank. The player loses the total bet--including any raised
bet--if the third card does not fall between the first two
cards.
When the first two cards have consecutive ranks (for example, 5
and 6), then the hand is a tie and all bets are returned to the
player.
When the first two cards have the same rank, the third card is
automatically dealt. If the third card has the same as the first
two, the player wins eleven times the initial bet. If the third
card is different than the first two, the game is a push, and
all bets are returned to the player
Keno
Keno
is one of the oldest games played in casinos and is easy to
learn. Keno is a lottery style game.
There is a Keno Card with numbers from one (1) to eighty (80). .
The player selects a wager amount from the top right of the Keno
Card, and predicts what numbers will be drawn by selecting one
or as many as fifteen of those numbers on the Keno Card. The
wager amounts are $1, $5 and $10 and stay the same regardless of
how many numbers are chosen
After clicking on the Play button, twenty of the numbers are
then drawn and rolled out randomly. The numbers that are drawn
are rolled out on the bottom of the Keno Card and are
highlighted on the Keno Card automatically. The more numbers
that are correctly predicted, the higher the payout.
The Payout Table is shown to the upper left of the Keno Card
and displays the payouts based on the number of catches
(correctly predicted numbers) from your selections on the card.
Texas Holdem Poker
Texas Holdem Poker is the most popular casino card game
by far. Texas Holdem is a "community card" game, meaning that
some cards are dealt face-up in the middle of the table and
shared by all the players. Each player has two down cards that
are theirs alone, and combines them with the five community
cards to make the best possible five-card hand.
Play begins by dealing two cards face down to each player; these
are known as "hole cards" or "pocket cards". This is followed by
a round of betting. Most Holdem games get the betting started
with one or two "blind bets" to the left of the dealer. These
are forced bets which must be made before seeing one's cards.
Play proceeds clockwise from the blinds, with each player free
to fold, call the blind bet, or raise. Usually the blinds are
"live", meaning that they may raise themselves when the action
gets back around to them.
Now three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table;
this is called the "flop". A round of betting ensues, with
action starting on the first blind, immediately to the dealers
left. Another card is dealt face up (the "turn"), followed by
another round of betting, again beginning to the dealer's left.
Then the final card (the "river") is dealt followed by the final
round of betting. In a structured-limit game, the bets on the
turn and river are usually double the size of those before and
on the flop.
The game is usually played for high only, each player making the
best five-card combination to compete for the pot. Players
usually use both their hole cards to make their best hand, but
this is not required. A player may even choose to "play the
board" and use no hole cards at all. Identical five-card hands
split the pot; the sixth and seventh cards are not used to break
ties.
