How to play ROULETTE
The aim of the roulette game is to bet on the winning number that will
appear on the roulette wheel. European Roulette has 37 numbered and
coloured slots and American Roulette has 38 numbered and coloured
slots on the wheel. The wheel is numbered 1-36 (European) or 1-37
(American) using numbers alternating between red and black, European
roulette then has a green 0 and American roulette has two green 0s.
You can bet on any number or numbers, on a colour; either Red or
Black, or on whether the number will be Odd or Even. The wheel spins
in one direction and the ball spins in the opposite direction, when
the ball loses momentum it falls onto one of the slots on the wheel.
Players can make 'inside' bets (betting on a number or range of
numbers) or 'outside' bets (betting on groups of numbers,
colours or odds and evens). There are usually minimum and maximum
bets imposed for a roulette game. Once the winning number and colour
has been identified, the house calculates the payouts for all winning
bets.
How to play BLACKJACK
The aim of Blackjack is to get cards which add up to 21 or as close to 21 as
possible without going over 21. If you go over 21 you 'bust' and
lose. Kings, Queens and Jacks cards are worth 10 points, Aces can be
worth 1 or 11 points and all other cards are worth the number they
represent.
To start all players place a bet in the 'betting box' and
receive two cards. The aim is to get higher points than the dealer
without going over 21 or 'busting'. All players in turn can either
stand or take additional cards if they desire, if they bust they
lose. Then the dealer plays his hand and if he busts, he loses to any
other players. If neither player nor dealer busts the higher hand
wins. If there is a draw the game is a 'push' and all
bets are returned.
The highest scoring hand is the 'Blackjack' which is the two
initial cards adding up to 21 (an ace and a card with a value of
ten). Any player with this hand wins automatically and wins one and a
half times their bet. If the dealer also has a blackjack, there is a
push or draw, and all bets are returned.
How to play SLOTS
A Slot machine is a casino machine with three or more reels which spin
when you push a button or pull a lever. The aim of the game is to win
money from the machine by getting winning symbol combinations on the
reels. There are often various winning symbol combinations, and the
symbols are often fruits or other simple and easy to recognise
shapes.
To play you need to push or click the button marked 'play one
credit' until you reach the amount of money you want to play,
then hit the 'spin reels' button and the reels start spinning. On
video slots you need to choose the number of paylines you want to
play with and also the number of credits wagered per line. Slots
typically have a maximum of 5 payout lines, and if a winning
combination lands on a payout line you win accordingly. Special
symbols will give you a 'bonus' which may be in the form
of free spins.
How to play KENO
Keno is very similar to a lotto or bingo game. The object of the game is
to guess the numbers which are drawn at random from the barrel. You
can choose to bet on a maximum of 10 numbers, and a minimum of 4,
each number you select is called a 'Spot'. You select your spots
before the game starts and then the machine will draw the winning
spots. The barrel contains 80 numbered balls and in each draw 20
balls are drawn at random. If you have guessed enough of the numbers
drawn you win.
The amount you win depends on the kind of game you play and the number of spots
you get right. A round of Keno is called a 'Keno Race'. Keno is very
popular because it is very easy to play and it is possible to play
with small wagers and win relatively large amounts.
How to play VIDEO POKER
Video Poker is a video version of poker, with no other players or a dealer
to interact with. Winning hands are the same as poker, so Royal
Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a kind, Full house, Flush, Straight,
Three of a kind, Two pairs and Jacks or better. All payoffs are based
on a five card hand.
To play you place a bet of one credit or
more and then click or press 'Deal'. You can then choose
to keep your hand or exchange one or more of your cards for new ones.
Once the draw is over your hand is evaluated and you win if you have
one of the winning poker hands. Payouts vary depending on the hand
and are usually set by how rare the hand is. Video poker game
variations include Deuces Wild, Deuces, Jacks or Better and Joker
Poker. Some Video poker games have progressive jackpots for the royal
flush.
