Blackjack!

One of the most played games, blackjack is absolutely a favorite. In this game there is a dealer and players. The dealer deals 2 cards for each players and himself, one of them is up. The point of this game is to reach or get as close as possible to 21. After you are dealt you can either HIT, SPLIT, DOUBLE or STAND

You are dealt another card when you say HIT.

You are dealt another card but no more when you say DOUBLE, of course if you win you get double.

If you have two same cards you can say SPLIT and keep playing with two hands.

You are not dealt another card and stick with your hand when you say STAND.

There are also certain rules in blackjack. The dealer has to stand if his hand reaches 16 or higher so you can grow a technique from this. On the other hand computers played every available hand millions of times and your best possible move is calculated. We are giving the tables below for you to win more!

Legend: H = Hit S = Stand D = Double P = Split

Craps Strategies

Craps StrategiesPass Line Bets

A pass line bet is placed on the field labeled “PASS LINE” on the craps table before the come out roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new craps round). A wager on the pass line wins if the come out roll is 7 or 11, and loses if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled, that number becomes “the point”. To win a pass line bet, the shooter must roll the point again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, your pass line bet loses. A winning pass line bet pays even money (1 to 1). Once the point has been established, unresolved pass line bets may not be increased, reduced or removed. They must be resolved by rolling the point or 7.

Don’t Pass Line Bets

A don’t pass line bet is essentially the reverse of a pass line bet and is placed on the craps table in the “Don’t Pass line” before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 3 or 12 in the come out roll, a don’t pass line bet wins. If, however, the come out roll is 7 or 11, don’t pass line bets lose. If the come out roll is 2, a don’t pass line bet is returned to the player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established, don’t pass line bets win

Baccarat Strategies

Baccarat StrategiesThe game of baccarat is largely a game of luck. That is a fact that must be accepted. Nevertheless, those who understand the rules, the odds, and the probabilities of the baccarat game are able to devise strategies that help the luck go their way.

Understand the Baccarat Rules

To devise a viable baccarat strategy, it is crucial that you thoroughly understand the baccarat rules. The most important baccarat rules are:

You may bet on the Player’s hand, the Banker’s hand, or a Tie. You win at baccarat if your bet correctly matches the outcome of the hand.

The Player and the Banker are each dealt two cards initially and then, sometimes, one or both of them is dealt a third card.

Neither the Player nor the Banker has any say in whether he wants a third card. The decision is made automatically pursuant to strict baccarat rules.

Tens and face cards count as zero, aces count as one, and all other cards count as their face values.

When adding up the values of the cards in a baccarat hand, only the final digit of the total counts. Fifteen counts as five; twenty-one counts as one.

The hand that comes closest to a total of nine wins.

Keno Rules

8 10 2008

Keno RulesKeno is such a popular and exciting pastime because it offers the possibility of winning spectacular payouts on relatively small wagers. Keno can usually be played in the keno lounge, in most dining areas, or at portable keno stations on the casino floor. If players wish to play keno outside of the lounge area, keno runners circulate the casino ready to place wagers, and numerous television monitors keep players informed of the winning numbers.

The keno numbers are printed on 80 individual ping-pong balls, which are either spun around in a wire bird cage, or blown around in a large clear plastic sphere. As each ball is selected, the winning number is electronically highlighted on the keno boards throughout the casino. The house draws 20 numbers out of the field of 80. Players can choose as few as one number or as many as 15. To place bets, a keno ticket, which has boxes for all 80 numbers must be filled out. The casino provides a keno crayon, which is used to mark down the selected numbers.

PLAYING OPTIONS
A ticket can be marked with individual numbers creating a straight keno ticket, or with a group of numbers that give a better chance of winning. These are called way and combination tickets. A way ticket allows players to group different numbers (each group containing the same amount of numbers) to create more than one way to win. Players are given credit for hitting all three numbers if any one of the group hits. A combination way ticket is one in which groups of numbers are bet several different ways, allowing money to be sprinkled over more combinations. Many experienced keno players will use these methods for a wider selection of numbers with a lower minimum wager, and a better chance to win.

Craps Rules

8 10 2008

Craps Rules Casino Craps (or Bank Craps), a dice game, is one of the most exciting casino games. It is common to hear yelling and shouting at a craps table. It is played on a purpose-built table and two dice are used. The dice are made after very strict standards and are routinely inspected for any damage. As a matter of course, the dice are replaced with new ones after about eight hours of use, and casinos have implemented rules in the way a player handles them.

The player must handle the dice with one hand only when throwing and the dice must hit the walls on the opposite end of the table. In the event that one or both dice are thrown off the table, they must be inspected (usually by the stickman) before putting them back into play.

The craps table can accommodate up to about 20 players, who each get a round of throws or at ’shooting’ the dice. If you don’t want to throw the dice, you can bet on the thrower. Several types of bets can be made on the table action. The casino crew consist of a stickman, boxman and two dealers.

The first roll of the dice in a betting round is called the Come Out roll – a new game in Craps begins with the Come Out roll. A Come Out roll can be made only when the previous shooter fails to make a winning roll, that is, fails to make the Point or seven out.

A new game then begins with a new shooter. If the current shooter does make his Point, the dice are returned to him and he then begins the new Come Out roll. This is a continuation of that shooter’s roll, although technically, the Come Out roll identifies a new game about to begin.

When the shooter fails to make his or her Point, the dice are then offered to the next player for a new Come Out roll and the game continues in the same manner. The new shooter will be the person directly next to the left of the previous shooter – so the game moves in a clockwise fashion around the craps table.

Baccarat Rules

Baccarat ChipsBanker vs. Player

Regardless of how many people are playing, only two hands are dealt. One is designated the banker hand, the other is the player hand. Any customer may bet on either hand, with the exception that the customer holding the shoe in the full-scale game must either bet banker or pass the shoe. Do not think of the bank hand as belonging to the house or the player hand belonging to the bettor. To avoid confusion, we’ll refer to baccarat “bettors” or “customers” rather than “players.”

The Play

In full-scale baccarat, the bettor holding the shoe slides one card out and passes it facedown to the stand-up dealer, who passes it to the customer with the largest player bet. The next card, the first of the banker hand, is placed next to the shoe. The bettor then deals another player card, then the second banker card. The dealer calls for the player hand, and the customer with the largest player bet first looks at the cards, then gives them to the dealer. The dealer turns the cards faceup and announces the point total. Then the dealer calls for the banker hand, and the shoe holder looks at the cards and gives them to the dealer. If the player total requires a draw, the dealer will say, “Card for the player,” and the shoe holder will pass a card to the dealer, who will pass it to the player-bettor, who looks at it and passes it back to the dealer, who turns it faceup. Finally, if the banker requires a card, the dealer will call, “Card for the bank,” and repeat the process with the shoe holder.

Keno Strategies

7 10 2008

Keno is a game of pure chance! Consequently, there is little strategy, which can be employed to help increase your chances of winning. Because numbers are chosen randomly, naturally, no numbers that are drawn have any relation to those drawn previously. Although it sounds strange, if you choose five numbers on a ticket, there is no greater chance of seeing 9, 21, 35, 38, and 57 come up, than seeing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Conclusion: Every number has the same chance of being drawn as the next.

So, although Keno differs from games like Blackjack and Poker in that the participant’s actions have very little bearing on the outcome of the game, there exist, nonetheless, a few techniques that some gamers “believe” will help. Although they cannot be correctly labeled “strategic decisions”, necessarily, the following tips and techniques are widely used and can make the game more interesting:

Play the numbers that you haven’t seen come up in recent games. The theory is that they will start coming up in order to make the long-term results for each number even out. Once again, however, the “random” nature of the game prevents this from being a certainty.

Roulette Rules

Roulette

Roulette is one of the most awarding games in the casinos. It’s actually lots of fun and you can also win big. It’s a table game where you place your bets on various elements before the wheel is spinned. You can bet on numbers, columns, colors, odd numbers, even numbers etc. They all have different stakes. 

Then the wheel is spinned. It’s a glamorous game with lots of fun and excitement. A ball is dropped to the wheel and you win or lose your bet according to the number the ball stops in the wheel. 

This is an all time favorite and played by many in online casinos. Rumor is that; the odds of actually winning is the highest in Roulette.



Blackjack Rules

Blackjack!

After the first cards have been dealt, each player chooses either to HIT (get another card) or to STAND (to get no more cards, in such case the value the player has will be competing with the dealer’s hand).

All the players have played their hands, and then the dealer plays his hand out. There are strict fixed blackjack rules which do not allow the dealer to make his own decisions. One of the most important blackjack rules concerns the value of 17. This means that the dealer should draw cards until his hand reaches the value of 17 or above. Most of the time, these blackjack rules are written on the felt, saying “the Dealer Must Stand On All 17’s”.
Card Values according to Blackjack rules

* ACE – either 1 OR 11.
* 2 to 9 – values are as indicated.
* 10’s & Face cards – stand for the value of 10.

No priority is given to suits of the cards.
BLACKJACK (a NATURAL, a Natural 21) is a two card hand consisting of an Ace and a card with the value 10.
Natural beats a 3 card hand with the value of 21 (a total 21).
Soft Hands & Hard Hands
