Basics of Online Video Poker
and Poker Hands
Most video poker games inside the Worldwide 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.
JACKS OR BETTER VIDEO POKER
Jacks or Better Video poker is extremely popular because
it is easy and quick to play but still contains an element
of strategy. To begin you choose what denomination of
coins you wish to use, ranging from 5 cents to $5. You
then deposit coins into the machine and bet up to five
coins on the hand. Once the cards are dealt you may select
which cards to keep or "hold", and the remaining
cards are replaced in the second deal. After the second
deal you are paid out based on the rank of the resulting
poker hand.
Jacks or Better Video poker is the classic version, using
no wild cards and only one "deck" of cards.
The minimum payout hand is a pair of Jacks, hence the
name! This game most accurately represents the odds of
poker, and gives high payouts for good hands.
JOKERS WILD VIDEO POKER
Jokers Wild Video poker is extremely popular because it
is easy and quick to play but still contains an element
of strategy. To begin you choose what denomination of
coins you wish to use, ranging from 5 cents to $5. You

coins on the hand. Once the cards are dealt you may select
which cards to keep or "hold", and the remaining
cards are replaced in the second deal. After the second
deal you are paid out based on the rank of the resulting
poker hand.
Jokers Wild uses a 53-card deck which includes one wild-card
joker. The joker can be used as any card to improve the
player's hand. The minimum payout hand is two pair.
KING OF THE DECKS VIDEO POKER
King of the Decks Video poker is extremely popular because
it is easy and quick to play but still contains an element
of strategy. To begin you choose what denomination of
coins you wish to use, ranging from 5 cents to $5. You
then deposit coins into the machine and bet up to five
coins on the hand. Once the cards are dealt you may select
which cards to keep or "hold", and the remaining
cards are replaced in the second deal. After the second

poker hand.
King of the decks deals from 5 52-card decks. As a result
there is a much higher probability of drawing matching
cards, and you can achieve 5 of a kind! The minimum payout
hand is two pairs. If you can collect 5 kings of clubs
on 5 coins you win the progressive jackpot!
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

poker. It allows you to increase your bet twice if the
hand looks promising, and the payouts can be very high!

to get the best possible hand, which pays out according
to a value structure. You begin by placing an initial

way another card is dealt, and you have a final opportunity

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.
