Blackjack

Object of the Game
To beat the point value of the dealer's hand without going over 21.

How to Play
After the bets are placed, each player receives two cards and the dealer receives one card. All cards are dealt face up.

If the initial two cards you are dealt total 21, you have a Blackjack, which pays 3 to 2 on your bet. If the dealer also has a Blackjack, you would push (tie).

If you do not have a Blackjack and feel the total of your first two cards can beat the dealer's total, you would "stand," meaning you would not draw any additional cards.

If you feel you need additional cards to beat the dealer, you gesture for each new card ("hit") with your hand until you are satisfied and decide to stand.

Once all players have played their hands, the dealer will complete his or her hand.

If the dealer has a soft* 17 or less, he or she must draw additional cards until a hard** 17 or more is reached.

If the dealer exceeds 21, all players who have 21 (or less) win. Otherwise the dealer compares his or her point total to each player's. All winning bets are paid even money (one to one).

* A soft hand is a hand that includes an Ace and has two totals, neither of which exceeds 21.
** A hard hand is a hand in which there is no Ace or the Ace counts as one.

The Cards
Face cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks) have a value of 10.

Numbered cards are worth their face value except Ace, which can count as 1 or 11.

Player Options

Doubling Down
When you "double down," you double your original bet and receive one additional card.

Splitting Pairs
If you have two cards of equal value in one hand, you may split them into two separate hands. In order to split, simply place an additional bet, equal to your original bet. With split Aces, you receive only one additional card per hand.

Surrender
Once you have received your original two cards, you have the option of "surrendering" if you do not like the cards you received. The dealer will take half of your original bet and your hand is discarded. You can surrender on any original two-card hand, except when the dealer has Blackjack.

Insurance
If the Dealer's first card is an Ace, players are offered the option of insuring their bets against the possibility of the dealer's final hand being a Blackjack. Insurance bets are up to one half of your original bet.
If the dealer's hand is not a Blackjack, the player loses his or her insurance bet.
If the dealer's hand is a Blackjack, the insurance bet is paid two times the amount paid for the insurance.

Payouts
All winning bets are paid even money except for Blackjack, which pays three to two. When a push (tie) occurs, the player keeps the original bet.

A Blackjack, two cards that equal 21, beats all other combinations of cards that equal 21.

A two-card 21 on split hands is not a Blackjack.

This classic game originated in France over 500 years ago and is a modified version of Baccarat.

Object of the Game
To predict which hand will have a point value closest to nine (9).

How to Play
In Mini-Baccarat, there are three possible outcomes to wager on; the player hand, the banker hand, or the tie. Four cards are dealt face up in front of the dealer: a banker hand and a player hand. Individual players do not receive any cards.

The player hand and the banker hand are each dealt two initial cards. Based on the individual point totals of the player hand and banker hand, a third card may be dealt. See details in "Third Card Rule" section. The hand with a point value closest to nine (9) wins. To determine point value, cards in the hand are added together and the last digit is used to declare the winner (e.g. 8+8=16, total of the hand = 6).

The Cards
Face cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks) and tens count as 0
Aces count as 1
All other cards are counted at face value

Payouts



Third Card Rule

Player Hand
When the first two cards of the player hand or banker hand total 8 or 9, neither receives a third card.

When the first two cards of the player hand total 6 or more, the player hand does not get a third card.

When the first two cards of the player hand total 0 through 5, the player hand gets a third card.

Banker Hand
The banker hand plays under the same rules as the player hand except when both the banker hand's first two cards total 3,4,5, or 6 and when the player hand takes a third card.

Fortune Pai Gow

East meets west in this exciting game of Poker! Fortune Pai Gow combines the elements of American Poker and Asian Pai Gow (dominoes).

Object of the Game
The object is to beat the banker's hand using your seven cards to create two separate hands consisting of a two-card hand and a five-card hand. The banker may be any player or the house dealer.

How to Play
Each player occupies a square numbered 1 - 6.

Each square receives seven cards with the order of deal determined by either dealer shaking a cup containing three dice or a random number generator.

In order to win, both your two card hand and your five-card hand must be higher in value than the banker's two card and five card hands.

A "push" occurs when only 1 of your 2 hands is higher in value. Your five-card hand must always be higher in ranking than your two-card hand.

The house dealer will be happy to assist you in arranging your hands or explaining the rankings once all players have set their hands, and prior to the banker exposing its hand. Dealer will always assist by using the "House Way".

The Cards
Fortune Pai Gow is played using a standard deck of 52 playing cards, plus one Joker. The Joker, or "Bug" as it is known, can be used only as an Ace, or to complete a straight, a flush or a straight flush.

Payouts
Winning hands are paid even money. The "banker" wins identical hands, called "Copy Hands". The winnings of each player and the net winnings of the player/banker are subject to a 5% commission collected by the dealer.

Players are automatically offered the position of "banker" in sequence of play. They may however decline, in which case the house will deal and assume the position of "banker".

Players may not communicate or exchange hand information during the play of a hand. Once the dealer exposes the banker's hand, players cannot touch their cards. Any player's hand that is set incorrectly (i.e. the two-card low hand ranks higher than the five-card high hand) is considered a "fouled" hand and is an automatic loser.

Roulette

Roulette is the most popular game of chance throughout Europe and has developed a strong following among Great Canadian Casino customers.

Object of the Game
To predict where the ball will come to rest on the roulette wheel.

How to Play
Roulette is not as complicated as it first looks. The Roulette wheel consists of numbers 1 through 36, alternately colored red and black, plus 0 and 00, which are colored green, for a total of 38 possible winning numbers.

To bet, simply place your chips on the numbered layout. The dealer spins the ball and will call NO MORE BETS prior to the ball dropping. The winning number is marked and all losing bets are removed. The dealer will then pay all winning bets.
Straight Up:
Place your chips on one number only, inclusively the zero and the double zero.

Split Bet:
Place your chips on the line between two numbers including the zero and the double zero.

Street Bet:
Mark any row. Street bet covers three numbers.

Corner Bet:
Place the chip in the cross where four numbers meet. You will be playing on all four numbers.

Five Line Bet:
This bet may only be placed on one spot on the Roulette table. The bet covers the following numbers, 0, 00, 1, 2 and number 3.

Six Line Bet:
A line bet consists of two street bets that are marked by a counter. Along the long line you mark in the t-cross and cover six numbers e.g. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Column Bet:
On the short side of the Roulette table there are three boxes marked 2 to 1. By putting your chips in one of these you mark all numbers above, excluding 0 and 00. Totally you will be marking 12 numbers.

Dozen Bet:
Here you can mark 12 numbers by putting your bet in one of the three marked boxes, 1st 12, 2nd 12 or 3rd 12.

Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High:
A chip put in one of these boxes, put along the long side of the table closest to the player, makes it possible to cover half the table. What you are playing on is described in each box. Single zero, 0, or double zero, 00 are not covered by these boxes. Each box covers 18 numbers.


Four Card Poker

Object of the Game
To beat or tie the dealer's hand.

How to Play
Four Card Poker is a modified poker game where players have 3 different playing options and up to 4 different payment possibilities. The possibility of high payouts and a variety of different betting options make this game fun and enjoyable to play for even the most seasoned casino veteran. Four Card Poker is similar to Three Card Poker, but with one major difference, in Four Card Poker, players may bet up to three times their Ante when staying in the game. As well, a player’s hand that ties the dealer’s hand, also wins. Players receive 5 cards, but can only use 4 cards to create their best poker hand.

* Initially a player must decide if they wish to play their 4-card hand against the dealer, against a Table of Odds, or both.
* If they wish to play against the dealer, they place an ‘ante wager’.
* Once the player views their hand, they can either play by placing a ‘play wager’ equal to or up to three times their ante wager, or fold, forfeiting their ‘ante wager’.
* The dealer’s hand always qualifies. Players’ hand values are compared to the dealer’s hand. If a player’s hand ties or beats the dealer’s hand, they win on both the ‘ante wager’ and ‘play wager’. Additionally if the player has certain high value hands, they win a bonus amount depending on the value of their ‘ante wager’.

If the player decides to play against a Table of Odds only and not against the dealer, they place bet on the ‘Aces Up’ betting square only. If the hand contains a pair of aces or better, the player wins.

A player may take advantage of both betting options by placing an ‘ante wager’ and ‘Aces Up’ bet at the beginning of the game. Once they view their hand, they can either play, by placing a ‘play wager’ equal to or up to three times their ante wager, or fold, forfeiting their ‘ante wager’ and ‘Aces Up’ bet.

Texas Hold'em Bonus

Overview
Texas Hold’em Bonus™ Poker is a community card poker game played with one standard 52-card deck on a traditional size Blackjack table. Each player is dealt a two-card hand (hole cards) that can be used along with three or four of the community cards to create a five-card poker hand. If the best possible poker hand proves to be the five community cards, the Players and/or the Dealer may elect not to use their two-card hand and “play the board” by using all five community cards instead.
Object of the Game
The object of the game for Player and Dealer alike is to make the best five-card poker hand using any combination from their two-card hand and the five community cards (board cards). There is no Player-to-Player competition; Players compare their hands to the Dealer’s.

How to Play
The following cards are dealt:

* 2 cards to each Player (used by the player only)
* 2 cards to the Dealer (used by Dealer only)
* 5 community cards face-up on the table (to be used by both Player and Dealer; along with their 2-card hands)

Both Players and Dealers can use the community cards in any combination (3, 4 or all of the 5 community cards may be used) to make the highest ranked poker hand.

Texas Shootout

"Texas Shootout"®, (the "Game"), is a modified derivative of the popular poker games "Texas Hold'em" and "Pineapple."

Object of the Game
The object of the game is for the player to have a higher-ranking poker hand than the dealer.

How to Play
The game is played at a blackjack style table, using six standard decks of 52 cards each, dealt from a shoe by a house dealer. After all players have placed their wagers, the dealer deals to each player position and to themselves, four cards face down. Each player determines which two of their four cards they wish to play and discards the two unused cards. Then the dealer exposes the house hand and determines which two of the four cards they will play according to a predetermined "house-way" strategy.

Then the dealer deals five cards, face up, in the centre of the table. These five cards are common cards (also known as "The Flop" in traditional poker) and in addition to their two-card hand, are used by all players and the dealer to make the best possible five-card poker hand.

Since six decks are used, the five card poker hand rankings are modified from the standard poker rankings. The modified poker rankings are displayed on the Texas Shootout tables. If a player has a higher hand than the dealer, they are paid even money on their wager. If the player's hand is lower than or equal to the dealer's hand, the player loses their wager.

There are two variations to the basic game play described above. First, a player may "split" their four-card hand into two, two card hands, match their original wager and play both hands. Second, there is an optional independent side bet wager, known as "Shootout Bonus®", where a player tries to obtain one of several predetermined poker rankings and is paid odds according to the ranking obtained. If the player's Shootout Bonus wager is at least five dollars, they qualify for the "Envy Bonus" feature. The Envy Bonus is paid to a player if any other hand, (excluding the dealer's hand), contains any of certain predetermined arrangement of cards.
