American Roulette
A American roulette table has a spinning wheel with 38 slots or pockets. The slots are numbered from 1 to 36 and colored red or black. Two special pockets, "zero" and "double zero", are designated by the color green. Players bet on a single condition or a group of conditions that the round will end with. The roulette wheel is spun and a ball is thrown into it against the direction of spinning. When the ball settles down and rests in a slot, the number on the slot that has caught the ball, is the winner. All slots are identical and the numbers are mathematically arranged for even distribution by color, value, odd or even, and high or low, so the ball has an equal probability to end up in any of them.
The more complicated part of roulette is betting. The betting table consists of 2 portions, the "Inside" portion and the "Outside" portion. Bets made on the inside portion are called inside bets. Similarly, bets made on the outside portion are called outside bets.
Roulette tables have maximum and minimum table limits. Otherwise, players are not limited in betting. Other than in betting, there are no other rules in roulette. Once the bets are made and the wheel has spun, there are no further choices that players make.
When betting on the "inside", a player is required to make bets that at least add up to the table's minimum.
The table is comprised of colored squares marked with red and black, from 1 to 36. Zero and double zero, referred to above, are 2 additional green squares of the inside table.
Different combinations of bets are available on the inside table. Combinations are only valid within the inner table. Here comes the list:
- Straight up bet - This is a bet on a single number. The payoff is 35-to-1.
- "Split bet - This allows you to place a bet on 2 contiguous squares. The odds here are 17-to-1.
- Street bet - This type of bet permits you to bet on an entire row (i.e., 3 numbers). The betting indicator must be placed on the row's outer edge. Odds here are 11-to-1.
- Line bet - This type of bet permits you to make 2 street bets (i.e., 6 numbers), and pays off at 5-to-1.
- Corner bet - This bet permits you to bet on 4 adjacent squares. Corner bets (known as "corners") pay 8-to-1.
- Five bet - This is a special type of bet that permits you to bet on 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. You do this by placing your marker on the boundary line of the roulette table where the line dividing the 2 rows intersects it. This type of bet pays 6-to-1. Notice that this type of bet is specific to American Roulette only.
When betting on the "outside", every bet a player makes must at least match the table minimum.
"Zeroes" are not covered on Outside bets. Online casinos do not normally offer the surrender rule.
The type of Outside bets include:
- Dozens - This bet refers to 3 squares that gives results from 1-to-12, 13-to-24 and 25-to-36. 2-to-1 payoff. This is a double bet.
- High and low - With this bet, 2 squares for the bottom half of the numbers (1-to-18, and 19-to-35) are selected. 1-to-1 payoff - this is an even bet.
- Colours - This bet has 2 squares for red and black outcomes. This is also an even bet.
- Odd and even - This bet has 2 squares representing odd and even outcomes respectively. This too, is an even bet.
- Columns - With this bet, 3 squares are selected that are attached to the bottom of the inside table. Columns typically have "2:1" written inside the square. With these types of bets, you can bet on an entire column of numbers. This is a double bet.

Slots
Slot machines, often referred to as "one-armed bandits", are a popular and easy-to-play casino game, which gives the player the potential to win at multiples of one's actual bet.
Playing a slot machine entails inserting paid-for chips or coins into the slot of a "one-armed bandit", and pulling a handle on the machine's side, which causes the slot machine's reels to rotate rapidly. You can place as many coins into the machine at once as you want, but only the first coin is processed for a given game. This is true, unless you can click or depress the "BET ONE" button to increase your wager by a single coin. Typically, in many casinos, the maximum number of coins that can be played in any one round is 3. On many slot machines, you can press the "BET MAX" button to wager as many as 3 coins initially. To retrieve the coins that are in the slot machine but have not been processed yet, press the "CASH OUT" button on the one-armed bandit.
Payout rules are usually enumerated on the top of the slot machine itself. For example, if you play 1 coin in a $ 0.25 (25 cent) slot machine and all 3 reels have similar designations lined up (perhaps, 3 diamonds), this would constitute a winning game, and you may receive 80, 25 cent coins), which equates to $ 20.00. This example assumes American currency - there are machines that accept other currencies as well.
European Roulet
Roulette is a very popular casino game that appears complicated on initially, but after a short introduction to the game, the player wil realize that roulette is a simple, interesting, and quite intriguing game.
There are 2 popular variations of the roulette game that have minor, but important distinctions. This web page describes the European ("Single zero") Roulette. European roulette has the same wager payoffs as American roulette (see bleow for its description), but lacks the double zero slots, and the house advantage is definitely lower in European roulette.

Thes slots are numbered from 1 to 36 and colored either red or black except for a special "zero" slot that is marked with a green indicator. Players make bets on results of the round. The roulette wheel is spun and a ball is thrown into it against the direction of spinning. When the ball settles down and rests in a slot, the number on the slot that has caught the ball, is the winning number. All slots are identical and the order and position of numbers are mathematically arranged for even distribution by color, value, odd or even, and high or low, so that the ball has an equal probability of winding up in any one of them.

Blackjack
Blackjack is a historically popular game in most casinos, and is considered the world's most widespread banking card game. Its origin dates back to 18th century France, and it is considered one of the most highly regarded and most popular card games today.
In Blackjack, players compete against a dealer, and not against one another. To win in Blackjack, a hand's purpose is to defeat the dealer by obtaining a hand numerical value as close to 21 points as possbile, that beats the dealer's hand. However, if a hand has more than 21 points, it is known as a "bust", and the player automatically loses his bet. The dealer has no choices in Blackjack and simply follows a discrete set of Blackjack rules.
The scoring mechanism for Blackjack is described as follows:
- An Ace can have value of 1 or 11, whichever you decide to use it as. A hand with an Ace can either be considered "soft" or "hard". A Soft hand can be described as where the player has no risk of drawing another card without risk of busting, since he can choose between either of the Ace values at his own discretion.
- Cards 2 to 9 are equal to their respective face point values.
- 10, Jack, Queen and King are always valued at 10 points.
The "blackjack" or a "natural" occurs when your first 2 cards score to 21 points, which is only possible with an Ace and one of the cards that have a face value of 10 points. A "blackjack" beats 21 points, that is accrued via other means (i.e., by totaling 21 points with more than 2 cards). A blackjack versus a blackjack counts as a tie (also known as a "push").
To start, the dealer will always deal 2 cards to all players including himself, and reveal one of his cards (unless the game is played "faces up"). The players then take turns in making choices.
The players (other than the dealer) can make the following decisions:
- Surrender - this rule doesn't exist in every Blackjack game and can only be played before any of the other choices. Surrendering consists of withdrawing from the game (i.e., "folding your hand") at the cost of half of your existing bet. The "early" surrender manifests when the player folds his hand before the dealer verifies his blackjack. If the dealer has verified his blackjack, then the "late surrender" is said to occur.
- Hit - a player can decide to hit, which means that he requests the dealer to draw him an additional card.
- Stand - a player cane decide to stand pat, which means that he will not be drawing an additional card.
- Double down - when a player has 2 hands he can use double down to double his bet and require an additional and only card. Here, you can place a bet that is equal to your original bet.
- Splitting pairs - when a player is dealt 2 matching cards score-wise, you can "split" them and play the 2 hands independently. When splitting pairs, you must place a bet on this freshly split hand that is identical to the bet on the 1st hand. Some casinos permit you to double down after you split or split multiple times. When you split 2 Aces you are only entitled to one additional draw for each Ace. In this case, drawing a 10 to an Ace is not considered natural and will be beaten by a blackjack. Remember this rule !
- Insurance - when the dealer turns up an Ace he will offer insurance to the other participating players. The choice of insurance allows a player to bet up to half of his original bet against the dealer receiving a blackjack. The dealer checks for a blackjack. If he does this, the player will lose the original stipulated bet, but the designated "insurance" bet will result in a payout at double the odds, which effectively covers the original bet. If the dealer does not have a blackjack, the player loses both of his bets.
Typically, the dealer will use the "stands on all 17's" rule, which means that he is obliged to continue to draw cards until his hand totals 17 ore more points, unless he busts first. Otherwise, the dealer is deemed to "stand". Note that an Ace in a dealer's hand under is always considered to be 11 points here, unless it makes the dealer go over 21 points. The Dealer does not have the capability to split, to double down, to insure himself or to surrender, as a player does.
Blackjack typically pays the following odds:
- A Winning hand usually pays 1-to-1
- Insurance usually pays 2-to-1
- Blackjack usually pays 3-to-2
