Roulette

Aug 12th, 2008 | By | Category: Table Games

  Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino style games that are still in wide use today. The main difference between the European and American Roulette wheel is the zeros. The American Roulette wheel has a single zero spot and a double zero spot, while the European Roulette wheel has only a single zero spot.

The “hollow” of the American Roulette wheel consists of thirty-eight pockets, each with its own number. The numbers on the pockets are 1-36, 0 and 00. The wheel alternates pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers. The numbers also alternate between black and red. Both the 0 and 00 slots are green.

Wagers in American Roulette are placed on the table in any of the marked boxes. You will find a variety of different boxes and winning combinations on the table. This is called the table layout. You can place wagers on many different areas of the table layout at the same time. (All possible bets are outlined below with their corresponding payouts.)

The wheel determines the game’s outcome. While the wheel is spinning, the ball is spun round the wheel in the opposite direction the wheel is spinning. Once wagers are placed and the game begins, the ball will spin around the wheel until it loses speed and finally comes to rest in one of the numbered slots within the hollow. The number of the slot where the ball rests is the winning number for that game.

Possible Bets and Table Limits
The possible bets, and the minimum and maximum bet limits are dependent on the table limit you select from the casino lobby.

Selecting Your Wager
Left click on a chip of the desired value to select it. Then left click on any bet area on the table to place your bet there. Additional left clicks on the selected area will add chips of the same value. Right clicking on the selected area will remove one chip of the selected value. You may place chips in a number of different area at the same time.

  Caribbean Poker is a combination of two of the most enjoyed casino games: Blackjack and Poker. Just like Blackjack, this game allows players to play against the dealer rather than other players. Caribbean Stud Poker does however use the same value of hands as Poker to determine its winners.

How To Play
Place your desired wager on the „Ante“ area. Once this is done, you can select either the „Deal“ or the „Clear“ button. The „Deal“ button will forward five cards to you and one to the dealer. At that point, you have two options: „Call“ or „Fold“.

If you select „Call“, the dealer will be deal the remaining four cards. At this point, your „Bet“ will be doubled the amount of your „Ante“ and your hand will confront the dealer’s hand.

If the dealer does not have an Ace,and a King, or higher, your bet is returned as well as an amount equal to the ante.

If the dealer does have an Ace,and a King, or higher, you will win if your hand beats the dealers. The dealer pays out even money on your ante and fixed odds on your „Call“ bet.

If the dealer has an Ace,and a King, or higher and your hand is worse than the dealer’s, you lose your ante and „Call“ bet.

If you don’t „Call“, you forfeit your Ante. Lastly, the „Clear“ button will remove the amount you placed on the „Ante“ area.

Progressive Jackpot
By placing a $/€1 or ¥100 side wager, you will become eligible to win the Progressive Jackpot. The side wager can be inserted into the slot that is on the game table.

Selecting Your Wager
Left click to select a chip value, and then left click in the Ante circle on the table. To add multiples same chip value: left click until you have reached the desired amount. To reduce wager amount or remove your wager from the table: right click on the chips already placed on the table.

Blackjack

Aug 12th, 2008 | By | Category: Table Games

  In blackjack, as the player, you are always competing against the dealer. The main objective is to draw cards until your hand comes as close to 21 as you can, without going over. If your first two cards total 21, you have blackjack.

Rules

If, at the end of the game, your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, you win the same amount as you wagered. If you have blackjack [your first two cards total 21], you win 3:2 the value of your wager, unless the dealer also has blackjack. In that case the game is a tie and your wager is returned.

Aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and all remaining cards count as their numbered values. If your hand total exceeds 21, you have “BUST” and you lose your wager. If, at the end of the game, your hand total is equal to the dealer’s hand, the game is considered a tie [„PUSH“] and your wager is returned. Blackjack [first two cards total 21] beats a combined card score of 21.

Triple 7 Blackjack Bonus

If, during your play in blackjack, you receive three 7’s of spades for a total result of 21, you have won the Triple 7 Bonus and your account will automatically be credited with a bonus of $5,000.00.

Rules for the Dealer

The dealer must adhere to certain guidelines when drawing cards [„HIT“] or staying with his current cards [„STAND“]. These guidelines state that the dealer must draw cards until he has at least 17, and must stand at 17 or higher. If the dealer gets 16, he must take another card. The dealer will not decide to hit or stay based on your hand, and must strictly abide by the dealer rules. As the player, your strategy should be based on what cards you have in your hand while taking into consideration what card the dealer has showing.

Split

If your first two cards are the same value, you may “SPLIT” them into two separate hands, placing a second wager of equal value. You then proceed to draw cards as usual. However, if you “SPLIT” two aces, you get only one additional card for each hand. If you “SPLIT” two aces and one of your hands totals 21, this is not considered blackjack, but 21.

Double Down

When you have been dealt two cards, and you think that your next card will put you in a position to beat the dealer’s hand, you can select „DOUBLE“. Your wager is then doubled, and you will receive only one additional card.

Insurance

Insurance adds a completely new aspect to blackjack; it gives you the opportunity to protect your wager if you believe that the dealer may have blackjack. If the dealer’s first card is an ace, he is considered to have a fair chance of getting blackjack. In this case a window will pop up over your hand and offer you to purchase “INSURANCE – YES/NO”. If you believe that the dealer’s down card is of value 10, you can buy insurance against dealer’s blackjack at the value of half your initial bet. If the dealer does have blackjack, the insurance pays 2:1, corresponding to the amount of your initial wager. If you buy insurance and the dealer does not get blackjack, you lose your insurance wager. Your initial bet is then settled by comparing your cards with the dealer’s. Should you and the dealer both have blackjack, the game results in a push.

Tips

To understand the following tables remember an ace can count as either 1 or 11. *A „soft“ hand is a hand, which contains an ace that counts as 11. Therefore, a „soft 17“ is a hand that contains an ace and a 6. A player with an ace has the advantage of being able to change the ace’s value to count as 1 after drawing another card. When a hand contains an ace that counts as 1, it is called a „hard hand“.

Betting

Select a chip value using the left mouse button. Then, with the left mouse button, click the spot on the blackjack table where you wish to place your wager. You can choose to place a wager in all three spots and play three hands at a time. If you wish to change your bet prior to clicking „DEAL“, simply click on the chips you have already placed on the table using your right mouse button to remove them.
