Baccarat
Baccarat is a sophisticated game originating in Europe. Players can
wager on the player, the banker, or a tie, while trying to obtain a
total card value closest to nine. Two hands of two cards are dealt, one
representing the players hand and one representing the bankers hand.
Depending on the value of the hands, a third card may be drawn for each
hand. The winning hand is the one with a card total closest to nine.
Game Play
At the beginning of each game you are required to place a wager. This amount appears in the betting areas on the table top.
- Select a chip value of either $1, $5, $10, $25, or $100.
- Click
on each betting area until the number of chips displayed equals the
amount you wish to bet. Bets, can be placed on the players hand, the
banker's hand, a tie or a combination of the tie bet and one other bet.
You cannot place a bet on the player and banker in the same game.
- To
reduce your bet amount, right-click the betting circle to remove chips.
Your bet will be reduced by the amount of the currently selected chip.
- Click Deal.
Both you and the banker will be dealt two cards face up. Depending on
the cards received, both parties may be dealt an additional third card.
A winner is determined.
Game Rules
Baccarat uses a four deck shoe. No hand receives more than three cards.
When the player and banker hands are equal then the hand is declared a
tie. Tens and face cards are worth zero, aces are worth one, and all
other cards are worth their face value. If the value of a hand exceeds
nine, then the value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total as
shown below.
| Hand |
Actual Value |
 +  = 15 |

 +  = 19 |
Natural 9 |
 +  = 8 |

Third Card Rule
After the first two cards are dealt to both the player and banker, a
third card may be dealt, subject to the Third Card Rule. The player's
hand is always played first followed by the banker's hand. The
following tables illustrate how the player's hand determines how the
banker's hand will be played out.
The following table explains how to complete the player's hand.
| If a player's cards total: |
The player must: |
| 0-5 |
Draw a third card |
| 6-7 |

Battle Royale
Battle Royale is a simple game based on the children's game War. Once
the ante has been placed, you and the dealer each receive one face-up
card. The high card wins. If there is a tie, the player has the
opportunity to surrender or battle for the chance to win up to 3:1 odds.
Game Play
At the beginning of each game you are required to place an initial bet,
known as an ante. This amount appears on the betting circle on the
table top.
- Select a chip value of either $1, $5, $10, $25, or $100.
- Click the betting circle until the number of chips displayed equals the amount you wish to bet.
- To
reduce your bet amount, right-click the betting circle to remove chips.
Your bet will be reduced by the amount of the currently selected chip.
- Click Deal. You and the dealer will each be dealt one face-up card. No additional cards are dealt except in the event of a tie.
- Click Surrender or Battle in the case of a tie.
- Choose
Surrender if you do not want to go to battle. When you choose
Surrender, the game ends with the dealer winning. You will lose half of
your original wager.
- Choose Battle if you want
to go to battle. When you choose Battle, a bet is automatically placed
equal to your ante. You and the dealer are dealt three cards face down
followed by one card face-up. The face-up cards are compared and the
high card wins.
Game Rules
Battle Royale uses a one deck shoe. Suits do not matter in Battle Royale.
If your card is higher than the dealer's card, you win the round and are paid an amount equal to your initial bet.
- If
your ante was $10, and you went to battle you would make an additional
$10 wager. If your battle card is higher than the dealer's, you receive
your two $10 bets back, and are paid an additional $10 in winnings.
If you go to battle and your second card ties the dealer's second card, you win at odds of 3:1 on your battle bet.
- If
your ante was $10, and you went to battle you would make an additional
$10 wager. If you tie the dealer, your initial ante and wager are
returned and you receive $30 for your battle bet.

Craps
There are quite a few philosophies on the history of Craps. One is that
in primordial times rolling of bones was made to marvel the will of the
gods, and that from this developed both dice and different dice games
(including Craps). Another side has the game sprouting from an early
Arab game accepted through England, France and North America. Though,
all historians seem to concur that Craps was brought over to North
America from Europe in the early 1700's. The game was first played on
riverboats in the United States and then traveled west with the border
as the country expanded.
"Street Craps" and "Bank Craps" are two common forms of Craps
enjoyed today. Street Craps is the selection you would find being
played in informal settings. The gaming is simplified, and somebody has
to envelop the wager in order for the game to move forward. Bank Craps
then again is the form played in casinos. The betting is more complex
and the house wraps the bets (banks the game) so the players are in
result playing against the house.
Game Play
To understand craps the first thing you need to learn is that it is a
game of rounds. The first roll is called the "come out" roll. Sometimes
the outcome of a round will be determined on the come out roll. 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 (white circle which can be
either "on" or "off") on an area of the table to designate which point
is "on". If a point is rolled, the dice will be rolled continuously
until the same point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled, which ends the
round and all bets that are still outstanding, lose. When that happens,
the point comes off and new round starts.
Game Rules
Pass Line
This is the most common bet in craps. You place your bet on the Pass
Line area on the table on a come out roll. If the come out roll is a 7
or 11 you win. If the come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 you lose. If any
point is rolled on the come out roll and if the same point is rolled
before a 7 is rolled, you win. If a 7 comes before the point you lose.
You cannot remove a Pass Line bet after the point has been made. Pass
Line bet pays 1:1.
Taking the Odds (Pass Line Odds)
The odds are simply an additional wager that the point will be rolled
before a 7 and can be only placed after the come out role if the point
is made. Odds bets are paid out at: 2:1 if the point is 4 or 10, 3:2 if
the point is 5 or 9, and 6:5 if the point is 6 or 8. Odds bets can be
removed or reduced at any time. You can only place the Odds bet if you
have a Pass bet on. The maximum amount of the Odds bet is five times
the amount of the Pass Line bet.
Don't Pass Line
This is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet. This bet is placed
against the shooter and wins if craps (2 or 3) is thrown on the
come-out roll and loses if 7 or 11 are thrown. A 12 is a push. If any
point is rolled on the come out roll and if the same point is rolled
before a 7 is rolled, you lose. If the 7 comes before the point you
win. You cannot remove a Don't Pass bet after the point has been made.
Don't Pass Line bet pays 1:1.
Laying the Odds (Don't Pass Line Odds)
On the contrary to Taking the Odds, Laying the odds is an additional
wager that 7 will be rolled before the point; and it can be only placed
after the point has been made. Odds bets are paid out at: 1:2 if the
point is 4 or 10, 2:3 if the point is 5 or 9, and 5:6 if the point is 6
or 8. Odds bet can be removed or reduced at any time.
Come
This bet is exactly the same as a Pass Line bet but it only can be made
after the point is established. If 7 or 11 rolls, you win. If a 2, 3,
or 12 come, you lose. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 rolls, the dealer moves your
bet to the number that rolled which becomes your 'point' for that bet.
If you throw this same number again, you win; if a 7 is rolled before
your point, you lose. Once your bet has been moved to the appropriate
box, if 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 was thrown when you placed your Come bet, you
can take the odds on it just like taking the odds on a Pass Line Bet.
Don't Come
Again, this bet is similar to the Don't Pass bet with only one
difference, it can be made only after a point has been made. You cannot
remove the Don't Come bet after it has been placed until it is
resolved. Once your bet has been moved to the appropriate box, if 4, 5,
6, 8, 9, 10 was thrown when you placed your Don't Come bet, you can
take the odds on it just like taking the odds on a Don't Pass Line Bet.
Buy Bets (Replaces 'Place Bets')
This bet can be made on the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It
is a bet that the relevant number will be thrown before a 7. Buy bets
can only be made or altered when the point is on, as identified by the
puck. Note: Our Craps game charges a 5% Lay Commission on both winning
and losing Buy wagers.
Lay Bets
Lay bet is the opposite of the buy bet. This bet can be made on the
following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is a bet that a 7 will be

five-card and one two-card hand, so that each hand beats the dealers
corresponding hand.

up. No additional cards are dealt.

seven-card hand must be set into two hands, a five-card hand (high
hand) and a two-card hand (low hand). The five-card hand must always
rank higher than the two-card hand.
You must win both hands to receive a payout. If both of the dealers hands are winners then the house wins.

play. Sic Bo literally means, dice pairs. It is similar to a popular
English game known as Grand Hazard, and the Filipino game, Hi-Lo.

on three dice. Bets are placed on one or more of the fifty possible
wagers.

between 4-10 or 11-17. All Small and Big wagers lose if the result of
the roll is a triplet (for instance, three 5s). |

same digit. You can also wager on all six Triplet bets at once. This is
called Any Triplet. |
