The word Baccarat is derived from the Italian baccarat meaning zero,
and referring to the picture cards and 10's, which have a zero value
in Baccarat. The game has assumed an aura of glamour and elegance,
but it is easy to play and to enjoy.
The object of the game is to bet on the hand that has a point total
of 9 or is closest to 9. You may bet on either the player's hand,
the banker's hand or you may bet that the result will be a tie.
All cards from 2 to 9 are counted at their face value and an Ace
is counted as 1. Tens and picture cards and any combination of cards
which total 10 are counted as zero.
Once all bets have been placed, the Dealer deals four cards from
the Shoe. The first and third cards will be the player's hand
and the second and fourth cards will be the bankers hand. The
dealer announces the initial point totals and should either or
both hands add up to 8 or 9 this is called a natural and no further
cards are dealt. If neither hand is a natural, only one additional
card may be dealt to each hand in accordance with the table opposite
known as tableau.

|
Winning bets on the bankers
hand are paid at odds of even money less a 5% commission, while winning
bets on the players hands are paid even money (one-to-one). For example,
if you bet $20 on the banker and the banker wins you will win $19
and receive your initial bet back. Should the point total of the
players hand and the bankers hand be equal (a tie), then neither
shall lose and any winning bets on the tie shall be paid at odds
of eight-to-one.

At first glance the Tableau may look confusing. However, to play
Baccarat, it is not necessary to know the Tableau. The cards are
drawn strictly in accordance with the Tableau and there are no optional
draws.

The Money Wheel is a fast, simple and exciting game to play. The
money wheel is spun by the croupier and must complete at least four
revolutions to be a valid spin.
The Money Wheel is perhaps the easiest of all casino games to play.
You simply place a wager on the number (some casinos use states,
as in the example to the right) of your choice. The dealer then spins
the wheel, and the number on
which it stops is the winning number. All bets must be placed before
the dealer spins the wheel. You may bet on as many numbers as you
want.
If you win, you will be paid at the odds shown on the table (each
casino varies slightly).
If you've guessed correctly, your winnings will be paid immediately.
Should, by chance, the indicator stop on a peg, the previous symbol,
not the oncoming symbol will be the winner.
Each segment has odds and any wager placed on the winning section is paid the
corresponding odds. |
|
An example of the odds you can expect
to find on this table game are:
1 to 1 |
3 to 1 |
5 to 1 |
11 to 1 |
23 to 1 |
47 to 1 |

In Blackjack, the aim is to beat the dealer by drawing cards which
are nearer to 21, without exceeding it, then those in the dealers
hand.
The cards have their face values with the Ace counting as 1 or 11
at choice, and all picture cards, 10. Bets are placed before the
cards are dealt. The dealer will deal a card up to each player in
turn and then to the dealer. A second card is then dealt, again face
up to each player. You may draw as many cards as you wish to get
as close to 21. The dealer must draw to 16 and must stand on a total
of 17 or more. If your total is closer to 21 than the dealers you
win. If your cards total more than 21 you lose, even if the dealers
total subsequently exceeds 21. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, unless the
dealer also has Blackjack. This is a stand off. Neither wins nor
loses. You can let your bet stand or change it for the next hand.
You may not handle, remove or alter any cards used in the game of
Blackjack. To draw a card simply tap the table. To stand, move you
hand in a horizontal cut-off motion.

When your first two cards total 9, 10 or 11, you may take an additional bet up
tot he amount of your original bet. However you may only draw one or more card.
This is making two hands from one. Your first two cards must be identical
in value i.e. King and Queen and the amount bet on the second hand
must equal the original bet. The dealer will place a second card
on your first hand and complete play on that hand before moving to
your second hand. When splitting aces the player receives one card
only on each Ace. You may only split once. Hands that have been doubled
down or split win only if the point totals are higher than the dealers
hand. The they pay even more money.
An Insurance bet amy only be made when the dealers first card is
an Ace. Your insurance bet will win if the dealers second card is
a 10 count card and will lose if any other card is drawn. Insurance
pays 2 to 1.

Caribbean Stud Poker is an exciting game based on the traditional
game Five Card Stud Poker but with the added thrill of playing for
a progressive JACKPOT payout.
Play begins with the ANTE wager. At the start of play, you must place
a wager in the box marked ANTE.
You also have the option of playing for the progressive JACKPOT by
placing an additional $1 chip in the slot positioned just above your
ANTE wager. If you are dealt a Royal Flush you win the progressive
Jackpot prize. Smaller jackpot prizes are paid for a Straight Flush,
Four of a Kind, Full HOuse or Flush.
NOTE: You can only wager on one box or hand.
After all players have placed their wagers, five cards are dealt
face down to each player and the dealer. One of the dealers cards
is then turned face up, to give you some indication as to the strength
of the dealers hand.
The dealer will then announce "Bet or Fold". You may then pick up
and view your cards and decide if you wish to continue playing or
FOLD. If you decide to FOLD you surrender your cards and your ANTE
wager to the dealer.
If you feel you have a hand which will beat the dealers hand and
decide to continue playing you must make an additional wager of exactly
twice the amount of your ANTE wager.
After all the players have made their decisions to BET or FOLD, the
dealers hand will then be turned face up. The dealers cards will
be arranged to form the highest ranking poker hand possible.
The dealers hand must contain at least an ACE and KING or a ranking
hand of ONE PAIR or higher to qualify.
If the dealers hand does not qualify, the dealer shall pay your ANTE
wager at even money, and your BET wager will be void.
If the dealers hand does qualify, and your hand is lower, the dealer
shall collect
both your ANTE and BET wagers.
If the dealers hand does not qualify, and your hand is higher, then the dealer
shall pay your ANTE wager at even money and your BET wager based on the pay scale
shown to the left.

If you have entered the JACKPOT and have a hand that qualifies for a jackpot
payout, you will receive the jackpot payout regardless of the strength of the
dealers hand.

Roulette offers a wide range of betting options. All you have to do is select
one or more lucky numbers, and place your gaming chips in the appropriate positions
on the table. The betting areas on the Roulette table are coloured and numbered
to correspond to the colours and numbers of the compartments of the wheel. The
croupier will signal the start of a new game by inviting you to "Place your
bets" and will spin the ball around the wheel. A result is determined when
the ball comes to rest in one of the 37 numbered compartments (0-36). Should
zero be the winning number, all bets that do not include the number zero will
lose. When the ball comes to rest, the dealer announces the winning number and
places a dolly on that number on the table.
While you may choose to play with the usual cash chips, Roulette is a game with
its own distinctive non value chips. The non value chips are coloured and have
no value printed on them. The value of these chips is determined by the price
you pay for them. Each table has its own design of non value chips, so please
remember to exchange them for cash chips before you leave the table.

Sic Bo (also known as Big & Smalls) is an ancient Chinese game played
with three dice. If you can predict the numbers that show face up
when
the
dice stop
tumbling, you could
be a winner.
Sic Bo is played using three dice in a tumbler. To commence the
game, the dealer covers the dice cup and tumbles the dice. You are
then invited to "Place your Bets". To place your bets,
simply position your chips clearly within the area containing the
number or combination
of your choice. After announcing "No more Bets" the dealer
lifts the cover off the dice cup to reveal the dice. The dealer
then announces
the dice values and the total and enters the value of each die into
a computer. All the winning numbers and combinations illuminate
on the table and the dealer pays the winning bets at the odds shown.
Wagers may be as follows: Wins if the total of the dice is 4,5,6,7,8,9
or 10, except in the situation of triple 2 or triple 3, in which
case the bet loses. If any other total is obtained the bet also
loses. Paid at even money.
Wins if the total of the dice is 11,12,13,14,
15,16 or 17, except in the situation of triple 4 or triple 5, in
which case the bet loses. If any other total is obtained the bet
also loses. Paid at even money.
Wins if your nominated specific triple appears and loses on all
other combinations. Paid 180 to 1.
Wins if your nominated specific double appears and loses when that
combination does not appear. Paid 11 to 1.
|
|
Wins if any triple 6,5,4,3,2 or 1 appears and loses if any other combination
appears. Paid 31 to 1.
Wins if the total of the three dice corresponds to the specific
number placed by you and loses when any other combination appears.
Wins if your nominated 2 dice combination appears and loses when
it does not appear. Paid at 6 to 1.
| Individual
Die Face Values |
Wins if your specific nominated number appears on one or more of
the dice and loses when it does not appear.
