Baccarat
Rules
The
object of baccarat is to obtain
a hand with a point total closest
to 9. Aces count as one; 2 through
9 as their face value; tens
and picture cards count as zero.
If the value of the hand is
ten points or more, subtract
ten, and the remainder is the
baccarat point value of the
hand. For example: 7+6=13=3
and 4+6=10=0
Place
your wager on the bankers hand
and/or on the players hand
and/or on a tie. The player
and the banker are then each
dealt a two-card hand. In certain
cases, a third card is dealt
to the player or the banker
or both (Third Card Rules).
Cards are dealt from a shoe
that holds 6 decks of cards.
The decks are shuffled each
round.
The
player closest to 9, wins.
If you bet on the player and
the player wins, you are paid
2 for 1 winnings on your bet.
If you bet on the banker and
the banker wins, you are paid
2 for 1 minus 5% bank commission
(vigorish).
If both the players hand and
the bankers hand have equal
totals, the game result is a
tie. If you have placed a
bet on the tie field, your
payoff is 9 for 1.

Blackjack
Rules
The
object of blackjack is for the
total of your cards to be closer
to 21 than the dealers cards,
without exceeding 21. In blackjack,
aces count as either 1 or 11,
face cards as 10, and number
cards as their face value.
If you receive an ace and a
ten-value card as your first
two cards, you have blackjack
and win one and a half times
your bet (if you bet was $10,
you receive $25). If the total
value of your cards is closer
to 21 than the dealers, you
win as much as you had wagered
(if your bet was $10, you receive
$20). If the total of your cards
is more than 21, you bust
and lose your bet. If you and
the dealer have the same card
total (17 and up) neither of
you win and your bet is returned
to you in a push. Blackjack
beats a score of 21.
USA
Casino blackjack is played with
six decks and the game follows
the standard Las Vegas Strip
rules, with the following exceptions:
- The
deck is shuffled after each
round.
- The
player may not split a split
hand.
- The
player may double after splitting.
- The
dealer only checks for blackjack
in case his open card is an
ace and insurance is taken.
- If
the player doubles and the
dealers first card is of
value 10, and the dealer gets
blackjack, the player loses
only the initial bet.
Split
If
your first two cards have the
same point value, you may split
them into two separate hands
by placing a second bet equal
to the original bet. You then
proceed to draw cards. You may
draw as many cards as you like
on each split hand, but if you
split two aces, you receive
only one additional card for
each ace. If you split two aces
and one of your hands totals
21, it is counted as 21 and
not blackjack.
Double
After
you are dealt two cards, and
think that another card will
allow you to beat the dealers
hand, you can increase your
bet by an amount up to your
original bet or double your
bet. Your wager is doubled,
and you are allowed to receive
one more card.
Insurance
Insurance
is considered to be a game of
its own within blackjack. It
allows you to try and protect
yourself when you think that
the dealer may have blackjack.
When buying insurance, you place
half of your initial bet by
pressing the Insurance button.
If the dealer does have blackjack,
you are paid 2 to 1 on your
insurance bet. If the dealer
doesn't have blackjack, you
lose your insurance bet.

Poker
- First,
click on the chips at the
lower left of the screen to
place an ante. To remove chips
from the ante, right click
on the chips on the table.
Progressive Jackpot Side Bet:
You also have the option
to make the progressive jackpot
side bet - click on the coin
slit above the Ante
field on card table. The blinking
light above the slit turns
green. It costs $1, out of
which a certain percentage
goes to the progressive jackpot
pool. If you get a flush or
higher, you win a certain
percentage of the jackpot
(see the winnings table below).
Current size of the jackpot
is shown on the left side
of the table.
To queue chips, click on the
coin slit several times. Each
click stores one $1 chip.
Every time you start a new
game round, one $1 chip is
taken from the queue for the
progressive jackpot side bet.
You can queue up to ten chips.
- Now
click on Deal to deal
the cards. You will be dealt
a five-card hand, face up.
No additional cards will be
dealt for the duration of
this game round.
- Decide
wheather to stay in or fold.
If you fold (click on Fold
button), you will lose your
ante and this game round is
over for you.
If you stay (click on Call),
you add double the amount
of your ante to the bet.
- Now
the dealers cards are flipped
over so eveyone can see them.
If the dealers hand does
not include an Ace/King combination
or higher, the dealer does
not qualify. You win even
money (1 to 1) on the ante
and the additional bet is
returned.
If the dealers hand includes
a combination that is higher
than yours, you lose both
the ante and the additional
bet.
If the dealers hand contains
an Ace/King or higher, but
your hand is higher, you win
even money on the ante and
the additional bet pays according
to the winnings table.

War
Casino
War is probably the simplest
of all casino games. The game
is played with six decks. Cards

is higher, you win even money
(1 to 1) on your bet and the
round is over. If the dealers
card is higher, you lose your
bet and the round is over.
Click New Game if you
want to play again.
- If
the cards are equal, you can
surrender and lose half you
bet (click Surrender)
or go to war (click War).
War:

bet by the amount equal to your
original wager. The dealer will
then burn three cards and draw
one card for each of you. If
your card beats or equals the
dealers, you win even money
(1 to 1) on the raise; the original
wager is returned to you. If
the dealers card is higher,
you lose both the original wager
and the raise.

is called the come out roll.
If the dice total is 4, 5, 6,
8, 9 or 10 than the point is
established. On the other hand
a total of 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12
on the come out roll immediately
ends the round. When the point
has been established, an ON
puck will be placed on the point.
After the point is rolled the
dice will be rolled continuously
until the same point is rolled
again or a 7.
