Casino Games Beginning Rules

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

            Learning the games that are played in the casino ensures that not only will you have the most fun possible while playing in the casino; it will also help you to make sure that you maximize your chances of winning. Everyone knows that the house always wins in the end, but many people come out of the casino with more money in their pocket than they went in with. However, the people who do this are certainly the people who protect themselves by ensuring that they know all the rules of the games they are going to be playing before they go the casino. Trying to play a game you don’t understand can actually result in you losing all of your money faster than you might anticipate.

 

            The first game you might want to learn is craps, one of the most exciting games in the casino. The rules of craps are complicated, but the initial bet that you need to learn is quite simple, and is called the pass-line bet. The pass line bet is actually one of the best odds bets in the casino. When you bet on the pass line, you will win immediately if the first roll is a 7 or 11, and lose if it is a 2, 3, or  a 12. Any other number becomes the point number, and then the roller keeps rolling until they either roll a 7 or the point number again, and a pass line bet will win as long as they hit the point before the 7.

 

            The rules keno follows are quite a bit simpler than those that craps follows, and are usually posted for anyone to clearly understand in any keno room, or are accessible on any video keno terminal. Keno involves picking a set of numbers, sometimes as many as 20, and then prizes are paid based on how many of those numbers you match when they draw the keno balls (or select them electronically) from a pool of 80 numbers.

 

            The rules of blackjack are quite simple as well. As most people know, the goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over or “busting”. Each player gets 2 initial cards, and the has the option to “hit” or get another card, or “stay”, which means they keep the total they have. If your cards are closer to 21 than the dealers without going over, or if the dealer busts, then you win.

Make Big Money with Craps

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

If you’re going to a casino for the first time, there are certain pieces of knowledge that you might want to research before you go. There are a lot of different games in the casino to choose from, and if you’re uncomfortable playing any of the various table games then you always have the option of playing at one of the lost machines or the video terminals, however, dollar for dollar nothing beats the excitement of playing at one of the classic table games. That is why, before you even go through the door for the first time it can be very helpful to do some homework, like learning the roulette wheel layout, before you actually step up to lay your first bet, or to learn the proper gestures for staying and hitting during blackjack.

 

            However, learning those things can be quiet simple compared to trying to learn the rules craps has. Craps is derived from an older dice game called hazard, which was even more complicated, but craps itself can seem a bit overwhelming at time to people. It is easier than it seems however, and if you can, go to the casino and ask them when they have craps lessons, which they do often. If not however, keep some of these things in mind.

 

            The most basic bet in craps is called the pass line bet. When you bet on this, you are going to win instantly if the roller gets a 7 or an 11, and lose if the roller gets a 2, 3, or a 12. Any other number becomes the “point”. Now, the shooter, (the person with the dice) will continue rolling until they either roll the same number that was established as the point, or until they hit a seven. If they hit a seven, the pass line bets are lost, but if they hit the point again before they hit that 7, then they win if they bet on the pass line. There is also a bet called the “don’t pass” line, which pays out in essentially the exact opposite manner as the pass line bet.

 

            The rules for craps are more complicated than this, but understanding the pass line and don’t pass line bets are what you need to get started playing. After you spend some time at the table you will quickly see the other bets people are making and catch on to the nuances and the rest of the details which flesh out the game.

The Emerging Online Craps Industry

Monday, July 27th, 2009

At a glance, the game of craps may look complicated, but in actuality it is really quite simple. Here’s a simple craps game flow for you to grasp:

If the come-out roll is a 7 or 11 (which craps rules label a natural) the don’t pass loses and the pass line wins. The shooter (person rolling the dice) has another chance to set a point and rolls another come out roll immediately. If the come-out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (called ‘craps’) the don’t pass line wins, or ties and the pass line loses. The don’t pass bet is a tie when the come-out roll is a 12. The shooter once again gets another chance to set a point. In order to pass the dice along the shooter must first set a point, and then ‘7-out’ by hitting a seven before he/she hits the point number again.

If the come-out roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 then that number becomes known as the ‘point’. The dealers will then place a little puck with the word ‘ON’ written on it and put it on top of the number that is the ‘point’ on the layout. This is just to remind players that the session is on, and what the point number is. Before the dealer did this, the puck would have been just off the table with the ‘OFF’ side up. Any don’t pass line or pass line bets at this point are in a state of limbo, waiting for more action to determine their outcome. Do you have a craps strategy? We’ll discuss this further soon.

The shooter will keep rolling until one of 2 things happen: if they roll the number that they had set to the point (i.e. they made the point) the don’t pass bettors lose and the pass line bettors win. If a 7 is rolled before the point number is rolled (which is called 7-out), the winners are the reverse: don’t pass bettors win and pass line bettors lose. In both instances, the round is over. How’s that for simple craps game play.

If you haven’t already done it, you should try playing craps at your favorite online casino.  Check out Craps How To, Craps Gambling or Craps Felt for more information and free craps software downloads.

The Inside Tricks of The Game of Roulette

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Roulette is often said to be the casual casino player’s game of choice. It’s quite easy to walk up to the roulette table and simply place a bet – at the roulette table, no one is typically sitting down, and there is no maximum number of players – so it’s almost as though you’re always welcome at the roulette table. Additionally, it’s an easy-paced casino game that just about anyone can learn the basics of by just watching a few spins.

The game of roulette is a negative expectation one – i.e. over the long run you are expected to lose. Here are a few things you should know in order to at least get better looking odds than anyone else at the roulette table. On American roulette tables, all bets calculate out to the same house edge of 5.25%. The single exception to this rule is the 5-number bet, which has an even worse edge of 7.29%.

How then can you get better odds? Here are a few tips:

1. Keep an eye out for is a rule called ‘surrender’. Surrender is available at many casinos. The rule only applies to outside even money bets, and it doesn’t affect the edge of your whole session. This rule simply cuts your losses in half in the instance of a green pocket hitting. So if you’re betting an even money outside bet and a double zero or zero hits, you only lose half of your bet, not the entire thing. This of course pulls the house edge on outside even money bets down to 2.63%, which is definitely a lot better.

2. Look out for the single zero roulette wheel, i.e. the European roulette wheel. A European roulette wheel has a single zero pocket, and no double zero. There are only a total of 37 pockets left on the wheel, which does cut the casino house edge. This small and subtle shift lowers the house edge on all bets (not just the outside even money ones) to 2.70%. Very very nice.

Hopefully you’ve found our roulette information useful. If you haven’t already done it, you should try playing roulette at your favorite online casino via sites like: Online Roulette Gambling, Online Roulette Free or Online Free Roulette.
