Baccarat

Baccarat is a sophisticated, yet simple, casino game played with a regular 52-card deck. The higher minimum table offer cards to be ‘squeezed’ by players; other tables e.g. Super 6, are dealt face-up. It is purely a game of chance, with no skills required.

Card Values

Ace – 9 are face value, while 10, Jack, Queen & King value is ‘0’. Card values are added together and in the case the total is 10 or more, the 10 figure is removed e.g. 9 + 4 = 3 (not 13)… 10 + Jack = 0 (not 20). Therefore, the highest hand achievable is ‘9’.

Rules of the Game

Players may wager on one or more of the following outcomes:

• Banker wins
• Player wins
• Tie
• Pair – a side bet won if the 2 Player cards or 2 Banker cards are a ‘pair’.

Players place their bets on the Banker, Player and/or Tie betting sections of the table. Once bets have been placed, the game begins. Two cards are drawn each to the Player and Banker. The hand with the most points i.e. closest to 9, wins. If, after the two cards for each side are drawn, one of the totals is 9 or 8, the game finishes and the result declared. If neither the Player nor the Banker has eight or nine points, a third card to one or both sides may also be drawn to decide the result, as described below:

Player Side

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5	Player draws a 3rd card
6, 7	Player stands
8, 9	Natural

Banker Side

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5	Draws a card if Player stands
6, 7	Banker stands
8, 9	Natural

Banker’s action if Player draws a 3rd card: 

Banker’s card total

0, 1, 2	Draws a card
3	Draws a card except if Player’s 3rd card is an 8
4	Draws a card if Player’s 3rd card is 2 – 7
5	Draws a card if Player’s 3rd card is 4 – 7
6	Draws a card if Player’s 3rd card is 6 – 7
7	Stand

 

If the Player first 2 cards total 6 or 7 and the Banker first 2 cards also total 6 or 7, there are no more cards to be drawn and the result is declared. 

Payouts

The following are the payouts for the winning outcome:

• A winning wager on Player will pay 1 : 1.
• A winning wager on Banker will pay 1 : 1, less 5%.
• A winning wager on Tie pays 8 : 1.
• A winning wager on Pair pays 11 : 1.
• In the event of a Tie, the Player and Banker wagers do not win or lose.

Super 6 Baccarat

 Some baccarat tables offer the Super 6 version i.e. if the Banker wins with a total of six (6), it pays 1 : 2 (half)… all other payouts are 1 : 1. All cards are dealt face-up on Super 6.

 Super 6 Baccarat also offers the Lucky 6 side bet. If Banker wins on 6 points with two cards, pays 12 : 1. If Banker wins on 6 points with three cards, pays 20 : 1.

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the most common games found around the world and is famous for being the game with the lowest house%, if the player knows how to play properly. While there is an element of luck involved, it is also a game of skill as, in certain situations, players decide whether to receive cards or not and also to make other decisions which can affect the result. All players play against the dealer.

Card Values

2 – 10 are face value, while Jack, Queen & King value is ‘10’. Ace can be counted as 1 or 11, depending on the other card(s) in the hand as well as the decision of the player and the dealer’s drawing rules.

Useful Terms

Blackjack

Blackjack is the best hand and consists of any ace and any ten-valued card in the initial two-card hand. When a Blackjack appears, whether for the Player or for the House, no other cards are drawn to that hand. Blackjack is an automatic winner, except against another Blackjack, which is a tie i.e. ‘push’ or ‘stand-off’.

Bust / Too Many

If drawing additional cards by either the Player or the House results in a card total exceeding 21, that hand has ‘too many’ and is considered to have ‘bust’. A bust Player hand loses automatically. If the Dealer busts, all remaining Players will 

Double

On any two-card hand, the Player may choose to ‘double’ their bet, thus allowing the Player the opportunity to win double. If the Player decides to ‘double’, they shall place an additional bet equal to and alongside their initial bet. One card only will be dealt automatically to that Player’s hand and the total announced.

Hit/Stand

Each Player shall decide whether to ‘hit’ i.e. draw an additional card(s), or to ‘stand’ i.e.  maintain their current hand. The House shall ‘hit’ to a total of 16 (soft or hard) and Stand on 17 or more.

 Insurance

If the exposed House card is an Ace, the Player will be offered the opportunity to buy Insurance i.e. bet that the Dealer will get a Blackjack. If the House obtains Blackjack, the insurance bet will win at payout odds of 2-1. If the House does not have Blackjack, the Insurance loses.

Surrender

After receiving their initial two cards, if the Player feels their hand is not strong and will probably lose, they may choose to ‘surrender’. In such case, the Player will lose half of their bet before any further cards have been drawn. Surrender cannot be taken against a Dealer’s ace.

Split

On any two-card hand, where both cards are the same value, the Player may decide to ‘split’ i.e. form an additional hand. Players can ‘split’ it into 2 different hands and the amount of bet to be placed in the new hand shall be the same with the original bet. The Dealer shall deal a second card to the first of the ‘split’ hands and shall complete the Player’s decision in respect of that hand before proceeding to deal a second and any further cards to the second ‘split’ card. If the second card to a split card is of the same value again, the Player may ‘split’ again, up to a total of three (3) hands.

For an Ace pair ‘split’, Players will receive only one (1) card to each Ace and may not split again.

Twenty-One

This is the next best hand after a Blackjack. A hand consisting of three (3) or more cards totaling 21. The next best hand to a Blackjack.

Pairs

‘Pairs’ is an optional side bet the Player may wager on the result of their first two cards being the same face value or same court cards (Jack, Queen, King).

Soft/Hard Total

Hands containing an Ace (not Blackjack) may have two (2) totals, except when the hand totals eleven (11), then it shall be automatically twenty-one (21) e.g. Ace & 5 = 6 or 16. The Player may choose which total they wish and ‘hit’ or ‘stand’ the hand. A soft hand cannot ‘bust’.

Hard totals cannot be counted as two (2) totals i.e. contains no Aces or, if an Ace, the total has already exceeded eleven (11).

 

Rules of the Game

The players place their wager in the designated betting box. Once all players have placed their wagers, the dealer initially deals two cards to each player and one card to the ‘house’. All cards are dealt face-up. Moving around the table, the dealer will act on each hand where the player will make a decision i.e. surrender, hit, stand, double or split. i.e. draw extra cards to improve their total and chances of winning or take no more cards (stand). If the player’s cards exceed 21, they automatically lose. Once all players have acted on their hand, the dealer shall complete their hand, then pay or take the player’s bets according to their card total. To win, the player’s total (without exceeding 21) must be greater than the dealer’s total.

• If the player’s total is the same as the dealer’s, it is a ‘stand-off’ i.e. the player’s hand does not win or lose.
• If the player’s total is over 21, it is a ‘bust’ and the player’s hand loses.
• If the dealer’s total is over 21, it is a ‘bust’ and the player’s hand wins.
• If the dealer’s total is 16 (soft or hard) or less, the dealer draws a card.
• If the dealer’s total is 17 (soft or hard) or more, the dealer stands.
• If the player’s total is 21 (soft or hard), the player cannot take another card.
• Players may ‘stand’ on any total.
• If the player receives a Blackjack, they shall be paid immediately after all Players have received their second card, except where the dealer has an Ace or 10-value card i.e. may also achieve a Blackjack. If the dealer does achieve Blackjack, the player’s Blackjack shall be a stand-off and all other wagers shall lose.

Payouts

Winning hands are paid 1 – 1, winning Blackjacks pay 3 – 2, winning Pairs pay 11 – 1.

Roulette

 

Roulette is one of the oldest and most famous casino games. The objective of the game is to predict where the ball will come to rest in the spinning wheel. There are 37 individually numbered sections in the wheel, labeled with the numbers 0 – 36. Wagers can be placed on any one of these 37 numbers or on various groups/combinations of numbers. By predicting the right number, players earn a return on their wager(s). It is purely a game of chance, with no skills required.

 

Rules of the Game

 

• Players place their chips on the particular betting area(s) of the table layout.
• The Dealer spins the ball in the direction opposite to that of the wheel direction.
• Players may continue to place their wager up until the Dealer announces “no more bets” and before the ball drops into the numbers.
• After the ball drops comes to rest into a number in the wheel, the Dealer calls the number and places a marker on the winning number.
• The Dealer clears the table of losing bets, leaving all the winning bets and then pays them accordingly.
