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 banker's
hand and/or on the player's 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 player's hand and the banker's 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.
Third Card Rules
The following baccarat rule chart
governs when the player and/or the banker will automatically be
dealt (i.e. "draws") a third card in the baccarat game:

Blackjack
Rules
The object of blackjack is for
the total of your cards to be closer to 21 than the dealer's 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 dealer's, 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
dealer's 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 dealer's
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.

Caribbean 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 dealer's cards are flipped
over so eveyone can see them. If the dealer's 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 dealer's hand includes a combination that is higher than
yours, you lose both the ante and the additional bet.
If the dealer's 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.

- If the cards are equal, you
can surrender and lose half you bet (click Surrender) or

War:
To go to war, you must raise your
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 dealer's, you win even money (1 to 1) on
the raise; the original wager is returned to you. If the dealer's
card is higher, you lose both the original wager and the raise.
Tie Bet:
A tie bet is also available. To
place a tie bet, click on the tie bet area in the middle of the

Craps Rules
The first roll in a Craps round
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.
Pass Line Bets
The pass line bet is placed on
the pass line before the come out roll. If you roll a 7 or 11, you
win and the round is done. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, it is craps
and you lose. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10) becomes
the point. You win the pass line bet if the point is rolled before
a 7. You lose the pass line bet, if a 7 is rolled before the point.
A winning pass line bet pays even money (1 to 1).
Don't Pass Line Bets
A don't pass line bet is the opposite
of a pass line bet, and is placed on the craps table in the "Don't
Pass Bar" before the come out roll. In a don't pass line bet, you
are betting that the shooter will roll 7 before rolling the point.
You win on the come out roll if you roll craps (2 or 3), and on
any other roll if it is 7. If the come out roll is 12, a don't pass
line bet is returned to the player in a push. You lose on the come
out roll if it is either 7 or 11, and on any other roll if it is
the point.
A winning don't pass line bet pays even money (1 to 1).
Come Bets
To place a come bet, put your chips
in the box labeled Come. You win even money if the next roll is
either a 7 or 11. You lose if the next roll is craps (2, 3, or 12).
If the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, then that number becomes
the come point, and the come bet is moved from the "COME" bar to
the box corresponding to the come point. If the shooter rolls the
come point again before rolling a 7, you win the bet. If a 7 is
rolled first, you lose the bet. The come bet pays even money (1
to 1).
Don't Come Bets
A don't come bet is the opposite
of a come bet. It is placed after the come out roll in the "Don't
Come Bar" on the craps table. If the shooter rolls a 3 or 2, the
don't come bet wins. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, the don't come
bet loses. If the shooter rolls a 12, the bet will be returned to
the player in a push.
If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the "don't
come point," and the don't come bet is moved from the "Don't Come
Bar" to the bar in the upper left corner of the box corresponding
to the don't come point. Once the don't come point is established,
don't come bets win even money (1 to 1) if a 7 is rolled, and lose
if the don't come point is rolled.
Odds Bets
An odds bet is a backup bet on
a pass, don't pass, come, and don't come bet. Your maximum bet is
three times your original bet.
Pass odds and come odds pay 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2
on a roll of 5 and 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 and 8. Don't pass
odds pay 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 and
9, 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 and 8.
Unlike original pass, don't pass, come, don't come bets, and unresolved
odds bets can be removed from the table during play.
Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a pass line odds bet by clicking
on the craps table outside of the "PASS LINE" bar, under your original
pass line bet. A winning pass line odds bet pays true odds: 2 to
1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on
a roll of 6 or 8.
Don't Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a don't pass line odds bet
by clicking on the right side of your original bet in the "Don't
Pass Bar", exactly on the 6x6 dice image. A winning don't pass
line odds bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to
3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8.
Come and Don't Come Odds Bets
Come and don't come odds bets are
placed beneath the Come and Don't come bets, after they have been
moved to the point's box.
A winning come bet odds pays: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to
2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8.
A winning don't come bet odds pays: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10,
2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8.
Field Bets
A field bet bets that the next
roll of the dice will be a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. To place a
field bet, place your chips in the Field bar. If the shooter rolls
a 2 or 12, you get paid double your initial bet (2 to 1). If a 3,
4, 9, 10, or 11 comes up, you get paid even money (1 to 1). You
lose the bet if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
Place your chips in the box marked
Big 6 or Big 8. If the number you select is rolled before a 7, you
win even money (1 to 1).
Place Bets
Place bets are made on: 4, 5, 6,
8, 9, or 10. Place your chips in the box underneath these numbers.
You are allowed to make place bets at any time. You win if the shooter
rolls your number before a seven. Winning place bets are paid:
7 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5, and 9, and 9 to
5 on numbers 4 and 10.
Buy Bets
A buy bet is the same as a place
bet with the exception being the payout. To distinguish the buy
bet from a come bet, the buy bet is labeled with a "BUY" marker
When winning a Buy bet, a 5% commission (vigorish) is charged. Your
winnings are paid at true odds: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to
2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10.
Lay Bets
A lay bet is the opposite of a
buy bet. A lay bet is labeled with a "LAY" marker. It bets that
a 7 will be rolled before a 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is a bet against
the dice, which means you win if a 7 is rolled before the number
you selected. When winning the Lay bet, a 5% commission (vigorish)
is charged. Lay bet winnings are paid at true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers
6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5 and 9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and
10.
Any 7 Bets
Place your chips in the area "Seven".
You win this bet if a 7 is rolled on the next toss of the dice.
This bet pays 4 to 1.
Any 11 Bets
Place your chips in the box with
the two dice that add up to 11. You win this bet if an 11 is rolled
in the next toss of the dice. If 11 is rolled, you win 15 times
your bet.
Any Craps Bets
In any craps bet, you win if one
of the craps numbers (2, 3, or 12) is rolled in the next toss of
the dice. The any craps bet is placed in the "Any Craps" box.
This bet pays 7 to 1.
C & E Bets
The letters C and E represent two
different bets:
C bet: This is the same as placing a bet on the "Any Craps" betting
area. Click on the letter C to place your chips in the "Any Craps"
betting area.
E bet: This is the same as placing a bet on the Any 11 bet. Click
on the letter E to place your chips in the "Any 11" betting area.
Horn Bets
Place your chips in the box where
the two dice add up to 2, 3, 11, or 12. The horn bet wins if the
shooter rolls a 2, 3, 11 or 12 on the next toss of the dice. A
winning horn bet pays 15 to 1 on the numbers 3 and 11 and 30 to
1 on numbers 2 and 12.
Hardway Bets
A Hardway bet bets that the shooter
will roll a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before
rolling a 7. The Hardway bet is placed in the box on the craps table
that contains the two dice that correspond to the number the doubles.
Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling the number "the
hard way." An example is rolling a 4 with a 2 and a 2. An example
of an easy way is rolling a 4 with a 3 and a 1. A winning Hardway
bet pays 7 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 9 to 1 on numbers 6 and
8.

Sic Bo Bets
You may place multiple bets at
the same time. You can identify the different bet areas on the table
by placing the cursor on an area and reading the info text on the
status bar (the low edge of the screen). Sic Bo features the following
betting options:
Small/Big Bet:
Status bar info text on these areas
is "Small" or "Big". Small Bet wins if the total sum of the three
dice is 4 to 10. Big Bet wins on a total of 11 to 18. Neither Small
nor Big Bet wins if the three dice are of the same number (three
of a kind).
The Small and Big Bet payoff ratio
is 1 to 1.
Number Bet:
Placing a number bet means you
want a specific number to appear on as many dice as possible. Select
a number from 1 to 6 and place your chip(s) on the corresponding
area. Status bar info text for these areas is "One", "Two", "Three",
etc.
If the chosen number appears 1
time your bet pays 1 to 1, if it appears 2 times your bet pays 2
to 1 and if it appears 3 to 1 your bet pays 3 to 1.
Pair Bet:
Make a bet on any of the 15 possible
two dice combinations (for example 3 and 4; 2 and 5 or 2 and 6).
Status bar info text for these bets is "Pair".
If both numbers appear, your bet
pays 5 to 1.
Total Bet:
Placing a total bet means you want
the total sum of the three dice to be a certain amount. Possible
totals are from 4 to 17. 3 and 18 (which are also possible with
three dice) are excluded. Status bar info text for these bet areas
is "Total of 4", "Total of 5", "Total of 6", etc.
The pay ratios for the total bet
depends on the sum:
| Total
of 4 |
60
to 1 |
| Total
of 5 |
