Game Rules
The following instructions and rules will assist you in playing and enjoying Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker and our Classic Slot Machines.
How to Play Blackjack
In the game of Blackjack you are competing against the Dealer (the House). The goal in Blackjack is to end the hand with a higher numerical total than the Dealer, without going over 21.
To start the game, you must first place your bet. This can be done by clicking on the $1, $5, $25 or $100 chips, to reach your desired bet amount. The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $500. Once you have finished placing your bet, click on the "Deal" button to proceed with the hand. Remember, once the deal begins you may not change your bet.
Both you and the Dealer are each dealt two initial cards. The Dealer deals from a "Shoe" containing four decks of playing cards. You receive both cards face up. The Dealer receives one card face up and the other face down.
If you have a natural Blackjack (a combination of an Ace, along with either a 10, Jack, Queen or King) you win the hand automatically (unless the Dealer also has Blackjack—in which case the hand is a tie or Push). If you do not have Blackjack, you may draw (Hit) as many additional cards as you wish. You may choose to stop receiving additional cards at any time (Stand). If a card is drawn that puts you over 21 (a Bust), you lose the hand and your bet is collected immediately. The Dealer will then receive his additional cards (if necessary). The Dealer must always Hit if he has 16 or under and Stand if he has 17 or over. If the Dealer Busts (and you have not), you win automatically. Otherwise, a winning hand must be of a higher value than the Dealer's.
During the course of the hand you may add to your initial bet through "Doubles", "Splits", and "Insurance" (described below). After the cards are dealt, you will be offered the appropriate option. Buttons located in the lower center of the screen will appear in order to facilitate the player's desired action (Hit, Stick, Double, etc.) For example, if it is possible to split two cards a button will appear to allow the player to split the cards. The player simply clicks on the "Split" button in order to split.
"Double": A player may select the "Double" option after being dealt two cards. The Double option automatically doubles the bet and automatically deals one card only, face up. The player cannot draw any more additional cards. The player may Double Down on any first dealt two cards or after Splitting a pair.
"Split": If the player is dealt any pair of cards other than Aces on the first two cards (i.e., two Fives, two Jacks), the player may Split the cards into two separate hands. The Split option automatically places an additional bet, equal to the original wager. Each hand is then played out independently and the player may take as many Hits as desired on each hand (with the exception of Aces, which receive one additional card only, per hand). In the case of Split Aces, a player's Blackjack is not possible and is considered as a regular 21. In this case, a Dealer's Blackjack wins, and a Dealer's 21 becomes a "Push".
"Insurance": If the Dealer shows an Ace, the player has the option of making an "Insurance" bet. This equals half the original bet, and ensures that the player will not lose their original wager should the Dealer be concealing a 10 or face card under his Ace. If, in fact, the Dealer's Down Card is equal to 10, the player wins the Insurance bet at odds of 2-1. If the Dealer's Down Card has a value of less than 10, the player’s Insurance bet is collected and the hand continues normally.
"Push": A Push refers to when the Dealer’s and the Player’s hands are of the same numerical value. In this event the round is considered a draw, and the Player’s bet is left on the table and may be retrieved by the Player.
Payoff:
| Result | Payoff |
| Winning Hand | 1 to 1 |
| Blackjack | 3 to 2 |
| Insurance | 2 to 1 |
Table Betting Limits:
Minimum Betting Limit: $1.

How to Play Roulette
In the game of Roulette you place a bet on a number, color, odds or a group of numbers on the Roulette table. The Roulette wheel and ball are spun, and winnings are determined by the slot on the Roulette wheel where the ball finally stops. The amount of your Payoff depends on how the bet was placed.
Our Roulette table is identical to those found in Casinos around the world. Our Roulette table is marked with the numbers "0" and "1-36" (we do not have a "00"). The numbers are alternately colored red and black, with "0" colored green.
You begin by clicking and dragging chips to the area(s) of the table where you wish to place your bet(s). Once the "No More Bets" announcement has been activated, the wheel is spun. When the ball finally stops on a number, winnings are automatically added to your Bankroll.
Different Betting Combinations:
Straight Up: You bet directly on any single number.
Split Bet: Place your bet on the line between any two numbers.
Trio Bet: Place your bet on the intersecting point between 0, 1 and 2, or 0, 2 and 3.
Street Bet: Place your bet at the end of any row of numbers, covering three numbers.
Corner Bet: Place your bet on the corner where four numbers meet.
Line Bet: Place your bet at the end of two "Streets" on the line between them. A line bet covers all the numbers in either Street, for a total of six.
Dozen Bet: Place your bet in one of the boxes marked "1st 12", "2nd 12", or "3rd 12", each covering twelve numbers.
Column Bet: On the short side of the Roulette table are three boxes marked "2 to 1". By placing your chip in one of these boxes, you mark all twelve numbers above it (excluding 0).
Low/High Bet: Place your bet in one of the boxes marked (1 to 18) or (19 to 36), each covering 18 numbers.
Red/Black or Even/Odd: A bet placed in one of the four boxes, at the sides of the board, covers half of the numbers on the board, as described in that box. The zero is not covered by any of these boxes. Each box covers eighteen numbers.
Four Number Bet: A bet placed at the corner of the intersection of 0 and 3. This bet covers the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Payoff:
| Bet | Payoff |
| Straight Up (1 number) | 35 to 1 |
| Split Bet (2 numbers) | 17 to 1 |
| Trio Bet (3 numbers) | 11 to 1 |

How to Play Video Poker
Video Poker is also known as Draw Poker. The Dealer uses a 52-card deck, which is shuffled after each hand. The objective of the game is to get a combination of "Jacks or Better" (two Jacks or a higher valued hand. See "Winning Combinations" below).
In order to play Video Poker, click on "Insert Money" to deposit $20 into the machine. Click on the "Bet One" button, one time for each $1 you wish to bet, or the "Play 5 Credits" button to place the maximum bet of $5. After you place your bet, click on the "Deal Draw" button. You will be dealt one five-card Poker hand (if you have bet by clicking on the "Play 5 Credits" button the deal will occur automatically).
After the first draw of the cards, click on "Hold" under the cards, if any, that you wish to keep. Then click on "Deal Draw" again. The cards that you have not chosen to hold will be replaced by new ones.
Your cards are then compared to the table of Winning Combinations (see below). If the value of your hand is lower than 2 Jacks, your bet will be collected. If the value of your hand equals 2 Jack or better, your payout is in relation to the value of your hand (see "Winning Combinations" below) and the amount that you bet.
The Double Playoff Round:
When you produce a winning hand (a combination of 2 Jacks or better) you are offered the playoff round option, in which you are given the opportunity to double your winnings. If you do not wish to participate in the Double Playoff Round, simply click on either the "Bet One" or " Play 5 Credits" buttons to continue playing as normally.
To participate in the Double Playoff Round click on the "Double" button. Your previous hand’s winning bet will remain as your wager. The Video Poker Machine’s cards will turn over, face down, and then one card will turn face up. Click on one of the four cards that remain face down. If the card that you choose is of a higher value than the card that the machine turned over - you win, and the special round continues, if you wish.
Please Note: If you do not wish to continue participating in the playoff round, simply click "Bet One" or "Play 5 Credits" to continue playing as normally. You may once again click on the "Double" button to leave your previous playoff round’s winning as your bet, or click on the "Half Double" button to leave half of your previous playoff round’s winnings as your bet.
If the card that you choose is of an equal value to the card that the machine turned over it is a tie or Push and you neither win nor lose, and the Double Playoff Round is over. If the card that you choose is of a lower value than the card that the machine turned over, your bet is collected and the Double Playoff Round is over.
The Double Playoff Round automatically ends after a total of five rounds.
Winning Combinations:
Jacks or Better: One Pair pays off only if the cards are Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces. Lower pairs do not pay off.
Two Pairs: Two sets of pairs of the same card denomination.
Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same denomination.
Straight: Five consecutive denomination cards, not of the same suit.
