Basics of Online Video Poker and Poker Hands
Most video poker games inside the World Wide Gamble casino are played with a standard 52-card deck. The
cards are ranked according to the value of the number on the card or the value of the face. The
ranking, from highest to lowest, goes as such: Ace (A), King (K), Queen (Q), Jack (J), 10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. The ace can also be used to complete a low straight; A, 2, 3, 4, 5. As well as
numbers and faces, there are 4 different types of suits that are used to determine the value of
a poker hand. These are: Spades (S), Clubs (C), Diamonds (D), Hearts (H).
Poker hands are valued based on their five card ranking. These rankings are detailed below: (A rank
of 1 equals the best)
Rank Hand Name Description of hand Example
1 Royal Flush A,K,Q,J,10 of same suit 10S,JS,QS,KS, AS
2 Straight Flush Five cards of same suit in sequence 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D
3 4 of a kind Four cards of the same rank 7S, 7C, 7D, 7H
4 Full House Three of a kind plus a pair 3D, 3S, 3C, KS, KH
5 Flush Five cards of the same suit 3H,7H,10H,QH, AH
6 Straight Five cards in sequence 5C, 6D, 7C, 8H, 9S
7 3 of a kind Three cards of the same rank JH, JS, JD
8 2 Pair Two pairs of different rank 5H, 5S, 9C, 9S
9 1 Pair Two cards of the same rank AS, AD
Tie Hands
If two hands are tied in rank, the following rules apply:
(1) If both have straight flushes, flushes, or straights, the highest card that is part of the hand
determines the winning hand. If the highest card still results in a tie then the next highest card
will determine the winner. And so on...
(2) If both have a full house, then the highest 3 of a kind will determine the winner.
(3) If both have three of a kind the highest ranking three of a kind will win.
(4) The highest-ranking pair in the hand will decide two hands with two pair. If this still results
in a tie then the remaining pairs will be compared and the highest-ranking pair will then decide
the winner.
(5) If both have a single pair then the highest-ranking pair will win. If this is also a tie then
next highest-ranking single card will determine the winner. If this still results in a tie then
the next highest single ranking card will determine the winner. And so on...
(6) Two hands with no pairs, flushes, or straights are compared and the card with the highest ranking
single card will be determined the winner. If this still yields no winner then the next highest
card will determine the winner. And so on...
DEUCES WILD VIDEO
POKER
Deuces Wild Video poker is extremely popular because it is easy to play yet contains an element
of strategy. The player first chooses what denomination of coins they wish to use, ranging from
5 cents to $5. The player then deposits coins into the machine and then bets up to five coins on
the hand. Once the cards are dealt the player selects which cards to keep or "hold", and
the remaining cards are replaced in the second deal. After the second deal the player is paid out
based on the rank of the resulting poker hand.
Deuces Wild is great fun because all twos are wild. This means that they can be used as any card,
giving the player a much greater chance of achieving high hands, including 5 of a kind! To compensate
for this advantage, three of a kind is the minimum hand to win. The player is paid out according
to the rank of the poker hand, as shown on the machine.

SLOT
MACHINES
Slot machines consist of inserting coins into the slot machine and then pulling the lever to set
the reels in motion. The object is to line up specific patterns to win money. Your V-Chips are automatically
converted into coins ($.05, $.25, $1.00, or $5.00 denominations) and then used in the slot machines.
Depending on the machine chosen, you can bet up to three or four coins on each spin. To be eligible
for the Progressive Jackpot, you must play the maximum number of coins per spin and be betting with
$1 or $5 denominations. You may hit the "bet max" button to play for the maximum amount
of coins and the reels will automatically begin to spin. If you prefer, you may deposit one coin
at a time and then pull the lever to start the reels spinning. Each game has different payouts which
are displayed on the machine. Winning combinations are displayed in the center of the reels as marked
by the pay line.
PACHINKO
Pachinko is a very popular Japanese table game in which multiple balls are launched and dropped
through a network of pegs. You receive bonus balls if you can land a ball in one of the three bonus
areas. The two side bonus areas pay out a bonus of seven balls, while the center bonus area pays
out seven balls plus a spin. If the bonus spin reveals three identical symbols, an additional bonus
of 50 balls is awarded.
You can control the velocity of the launch by clicking and holding on the launch button. The longer
you wait to release the ball, the faster it will come out. There is an indicator beside the launch
button that shows the speed of the launch.
You may purchase balls in five or one hundred ball increments and can choose $.05, $.25, $1, or
$5 balls. When you decide to cash out, you will receive money equal to the remaining balls multiplied
by the dollar value of the ball.

BACCARAT
Choose which hand you choose to play, the Player’s hand (pays 1:1), the Banker’s hand
(pays 1:1 less a 5% house commission), or a tie (pays 8:1). The Player and the Banker then receive
2 cards each. The object of the game is to attain a total as close to 9 as possible. Aces are worth
1, face cards and tens are worth 0 the remaining cards are worth their face value. If the total
of the hand exceeds nine, the value of the right digit is taken. For example, a 9 and a 6 (15) would
equate to 5.
The rest of each round is dictated by the following rules:
* If either the Player's or the Banker's hand totals 8 or
9, neither player receives a third card and the hand closest to nine wins.
* The Player's hand will always hit on a total of 5 or less and will stand on 6 or higher.
* If the Player stands, the Banker will also hit on a total of 5 or less and will stand on a total
of 6 or more.
* If the Player takes a third card, the Banker proceeds based on the following table. The Banker’s
response is based on the Player's third card.

BATTLE
ROYALE
Battle Royale is a fun and simple game based on the children’s game War. Once the ante has
been placed, you and the dealer each receive one card face-up. The higher card drawn wins the “battle”
and if you win, you double your money. If your card is lower than the dealer's you lose your ante.
In the event of a tie, you can choose to surrender and lose your ante or to “Go to Battle”.
The battle commences: you place a bet equal to your ante and each combatant receives an additional
card. If you win, you receive both bets back and win the value of your original ante. You do not
receive any extra winnings for the additional bet. If you are beaten, you lose both the original
ante and the second bet. A big win is achieved when the second set of two cards also results in
a tie. You then receive a 3:1 pay out on all the bets placed.
BLACKJACK
Originating in France, Blackjack has evolved into one of the most popular Casino games in the world,
because a skilful player can challenge the house very effectively. The main objective is obtain
a card total as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it, while still beating the dealer's hand.
Our Blackjack game is dealt from 6 decks. All cards numbered 2 through 10 are counted at face value.
The Jack, Queen and King are valued at 10, an ace is worth either 1 or 11, whichever favours your
hand. The Ace can change value from 11 to 1, if necessary, to prevent exceeding a total of 21. A
Blackjack hand consists of an Ace and a card valued at 10 (10, J, Q, K). A two-card Blackjack always
beats three or more cards totalling 21.
Before receiving any cards, you must place a wager. You are then dealt two cards face-up. The dealer
is also dealt two cards, one face up and the other face down. The dealer's "hole" card
remains face down until your hand is completed. At this point, the dealer turns over the "hole"
card. If the hand totals 17 through 21 he must stand. If the hand is 16 or under, the dealer must
continue to take cards until either the hand is over 16 or "bust" (totalling over 21).
If the dealer's hand totals 16 including an Ace valued at one (a "soft" hand) the dealer
must take another card.
You have many different betting and playing options:
Hit
You receive another card. For example, if your 2 cards equal 10 you have nothing to lose by requesting
another card, since your total could not exceed 21.
Stand
This means that you are satisfied with the hand and do not want to be dealt another card.
Double Down
After you have received your first two cards you have the option to double the initial wager. Once
you have chosen to do this, click the "DOUBLE" button and you will be dealt a third card
and no more. Your hand will only consist of 3 cards.
Splitting
If you are dealt two cards of identical value you can then split them (i.e. 8,8 or 10,Q). You would
now be playing two separate hands of one card each. You will now be dealt a second card to one of
the hands. After this hand is played out, the second hand will be dealt a second card and continued
until that hand is played out. You may double down on one or both of the new hands. You may only
split your hand once and a new wager equal to the initial wager will be placed for each split hand.
When Aces are split, only one card will be dealt per Ace. A split hand resulting in Blackjack pays
out at a ratio of 1-1 rather than the normal 3-2, and will lose to a dealer’s Blackjack.
Insurance
If the dealer's first card is an Ace, there is a possibility of a Blackjack. If you believe the
dealer has Blackjack you can buy insurance to protect yourself. If you choose to insure yourself,
you have to pay an amount equal to half your wager. If the dealer gets Blackjack, the insurance
will pay 2 to 1, which corresponds to your original stake. If you have insured yourself and the
dealer does not obtain Blackjack then you lose your insurance but retain your original wager.
Insurance is considered a game of its own within Blackjack, and gives you a chance to protect yourself
from the dealer's Blackjack.
Payoffs
If your hand exceeds 21 or "busts", then the dealer wins the hand without turning over
the "hole" card. All hands that total less than the dealer's hand lose. Hands that are
equal in value are considered a tie, or a "push", and your original wager is returned.
If you obtain Blackjack the payout will be at a 3:2 ratio rather than at 1:1.
CARIBBEAN
STUD POKER
Caribbean Stud Poker pits your 5-card poker hand against the dealer's, but it adds a couple of twists
to provide a strategic element.
After placing the ante, you are dealt 5 cards face up, while the dealer receives 5 cards, with one
showing. You must then decide whether to bet or fold. Folding forfeits the hand and the ante is
lost. If you decide to bet, twice the amount of the ante is added to the pile and the dealer's cards
are displayed.
In order for the bet to continue, the dealer's hand must contain at least an Ace-King to qualify.
If the hand does not qualify, your bet and ante are returned and you win an amount equal to the
ante. If the dealer's hand does qualify and your hand beats it, the your ante is returned and your
bet is paid out according to the value of the hand. If the dealer's hand wins you lose the ante
and the bet.
A winning hand pays out according to these odds:
Royal Flush: 100 to 1
Straight flush: 50 to 1
Four of a kind: 20 to 1
Full house: 7 to 1
Flush: 5 to 1
Straight: 4 to 1
Three of a kind: 3 to 1
Two pair: 2 to 1
Pair or A-K: 1 to 1
In addition there is a $1 Progressive coin slot which pays out bonus money on good hands according
to these odds:
Royal Flush: %100 of Progressive jackpot
Straight flush: %10 of Progressive jackpot
Four of a kind: $250
Full house: $150
Flush: $100
FREE RIDE

twice if the hand looks promising, and the payouts can be very high! You are not competing against
the dealer, just trying to get the best possible hand, which pays out according to a value structure.

PAI GOW POKER
Pai Gow Poker has its roots in the ancient Chinese game, Pai Gow. However, it has merged with American
Poker to evolve into the modern game of Pai Gow Poker. Pai Gow Poker is a simple game but it offers
many strategic options. This gives you the option to play conservatively and maximize your playing
time for little money, or go for the quick win.
Pai Gow is played with a 53-card deck consisting of a standard 52-card deck with 1 wild card. The
object of the game is to split your hand into a five-card hand and a two card hand with both hands
beating the dealer's two hands to win.
The wild card is not a true wild card and there are specific rules for the use of the wild card.
The wild card can only be used as an ace or as the fifth card in a straight or a flush.
After you receive your seven cards you must split them into two hands, a five-card hand and a two-card
hand. The five-card hand must always rank higher than the two-card hand. To split your hand move
the mouse pointer over the cards you want to make your two-card hand. Click on the two cards one
at a time and they will split out of the deck. Notice that once you have chosen an eligible two-card
hand (not better than your five-card hand) the split button becomes available. If you are happy
with your choice click on this split button and you will have your two playing hands. If you are
not satisfied with your choices click on the card or cards which you want to change and they will
go back into your seven-card hand. Now choose the new cards you wish to play with. You may do this
until you press the split button at which point your hands are locked-in. The dealer will then split
his hand and the game will play itself out.
Each five-card hand is ranked according to the standard poker hand hierarchy. Remember that because
of the wild card, you have the potential to have five aces, which beats a royal flush. Your two-card
hand can either be a pair or no pair, therefore, your highest possible two-card hand would be a
pair of aces. The wild card can function in several ways. It can act as an ace in any hand or the
fifth card in a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush.
Payoffs
You must win both hands outright to receive a payout. The house wins if both of the dealer's hands
are winners, or if one hand wins and the other hand is a draw. Any other combination results in
a push. This will lead to many draws, so there will be a 5% commission on all player wins, which
will be deducted from your payout. Apart from the commission, all winning wagers are paid out at
even money (1 to 1).
RED DOG
Red Dog is a true game of chance. Once an initial bet is placed the dealer lays out two cards. At
this point, you have the choice to double the bet or stand. Your task is to draw a card whose value
falls between the dealer's two cards. The payouts are higher depending on the numerical difference
between the two exposed cards. The payouts are based on the following table:
Pay Outs Based on the Difference in Values of Exposed Cards
Possible Cards Payout
1 (e.g. 5,7) 5:1
2 (e.g. 5,8) 4:1
3 (e.g. 5,9) 2:1
4 to 11 1:1
Consecutive (e.g. J, Q) Push
Pair (e.g. 7,7) Push
Three of a Kind 11:1
Note: Aces are always high.
If the value of the third card falls outside the range of the first two, or is equal to one of the
exposed cards, you lose. If the two exposed cards are consecutive, all bets are pushed back. If
the two exposed cards are equal in value, you will not have the option to raise the bet. An additional
card is automatically drawn. If the third card completes a "three of a kind", you receive
an 11:1 payout! If you do not achieve a three of a kind your bet is pushed back.
ROULETTE
Roulette consists of a wheel with 38 numbers: 1-36, 0, and 00. After all the bets have been placed
the wheel is spun and a ball is placed on the outer edge of the wheel. The ball will then drop into
one of the numbered pockets once the wheel slows down. The numbers on the wheel alternate pairs
of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers and alternate between black and red. The two zeros are
green in colour and are placed at opposite ends of the wheel. The object of the game is to determine
which number or colour the ball will ultimately land on.
The table layout is arranged so that the 36 numbers are arranged in 3 columns of 12 numbers each.
The numbers are in sequence, and can be either red or black, depending on the number. There are
two types of roulette bets: inside bets and outside bets. There 6 inside bets: straight bet, split
bet, street bet, corner bet, five number bet, and a line bet. There are three basic outside bets:
even-money, column, and dozen bets. You can place as many different types of bets as you want. There
are no limits to the number of wagers placed on each spin, as long as the total dollar amount does
not exceed $100.
There is a winning number display at the top right of your screen which shows you the most recent
winning numbers. The common perception is that if a number has not been shown as winning in a long
time, it could be time to put a stake on that number!
Straight Bet
You can bet on one number by placing a chip in the center of the number you want to place your bet
on(1-36, 0, 00). If that number wins you are paid 35 to 1.
Split Bet or Two Number
Bet
You can place your chip on the line between two separate numbers. If the ball lands on either of
these numbers you win. The pay out is 17 to 1.
Street Bet or Three Number Bet
This allows you to cover three numbers in a row with one bet. To make this bet place your chip in
the outside line of the row you want to bet on. If one of these three numbers comes up, you win.
The pay out is 11 to 1.
Corner Bet
Place your chip in the center of four numbers and if one of these numbers comes up you win. Pays
at 8 to 1.
Five Bet
The only five number bet you can make is on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. Place your chip on the
outside line that divides the 0 and 1. If any of these 5 numbers comes up you will be paid 6 to
1.
Six Line Bet
Allows you to bet on two rows of three numbers. Place your chip in between the outside line of the
last numbers of the two rows. If any of the 6 numbers come up you will be paid 5 to 1.
Outside Bets
The following 3 outside bets all pay at 1 to 1.
Outside Bet: Any Red or Black Bet
Bet on either red or black. Place your chip on either the red spot or the black spot.
Outside
Bet: Any Low Number or High Number Bet
Bet on whether the next number will be 1 through 18 or 19 through 36. Place your chip on either
the 1 to 18 spot or on the 19 to 36 spot. You lose if either the 0 or the 00 come up.
Outside
Bet: Any Even or Odd Bet
Bet on whether the number will come up as even or odd. Place your chip on the even spot or the odd
spot. You lose if either the 0 or the 00 come up.
Dozen Bet (1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd
12)
These bets divide the roulette table into the numbers 1-12, 13-24, and 25-36. Place your chip on
one of three spots: 1st 12, 2nd 12, or the 3rd 12. This bet pays 2-1.
Column Bets
A column bet is a bet on any one of the three long columns of numbers. To make the column bet place
your chip on any one of the 2 to 1 spots. This bet pays 2 to 1.
SIC
BO
Sic Bo is a game somewhat like roulette in that there are many places on the table to place bets.
Three dice are used to determine the outcome of the betting. Once you have finished placing your
bets click on the roll button.
Single Number Bets
The bottom row of the Sic Bo table has six betting areas. These are called single number bets. If
one of the three dice comes up as one the numbers bet on (from 1-6), you get paid out at 1-1. If
two numbers come up you get paid out at 2-1 and if three numbers come up you get paid out at 3-1.
So if bet on the number 6 and you wagered $5.00 and 2 sixes came up you would win $10.00.
One Number Appears 1-1
Two Numbers Appear 2-1
Three Numbers Appear 3-1
Two Number Combinations 6-1
The two number combination bets consist of placing a wager on any 2 dice combinations. If you wager
on a 6,4 combination and the result of the dice roll was 4,7,6, you would win at 6-1 odds. You can
only win on one instance of the two-number combination, so 6,4,4 would only pay out once.
Three Number Totals
A three number total wager consists of combining the total shown on the resulting dice roll. Different
totals have different odds. A result of 3 or 18 is always a loss. The payouts are as follows:
Three Number Totals (4-17)
4 or 17 50-1
5 or 16 25-1
6 or 15 15-1
7 or 14 10-1
8 or 13 6-1
9 or 12 5-1
10 or 11 5-1
Small or Big Wager
You can wager on whether the combined total of the dice roll will be either between 4-10 or 11-17.
This wager pays out at 1-1 odds. All small or big wagers lose if the result of the dice is a triplet.
Triplet Bets
Triplets are when the resulting dice roll consists of all three dice containing the same digit.
So if you wagered on three 6's and that was the dice result you would win at 150-1 odds. You can
also wager on all six triplet bets at once, this is called "Any Triplet" and pays out
at 25-1 odds.
Triplet Bets 150-1
Any Triplet 25-1
Pair Bets 11-1
Pairs are when the resulting dice roll contains a pair of the same number. Whether you have two
fives or three fives you still only win once and you win at odds of 11-1.
