Online Slots
Variety is the key to slot games and the premium is on interaction and entertainment. Some examples of slots are criss-crosses, multiples, 21, Keno, Poker Bingo and Video Horse Racing. Online slot machines vary in size from single line, 3 reel games to 5 reel multi line animated games. Symbol combinations are allocated randomly and the machines are generally pre-programmed to return a certain percentage to the player. A traditional bricks and mortar slot machine returns on average between 85and 98&, with the average casino advantage calculated at around 9%. Fruit Machines are a fun variation of the online slots machine which offers bonus rounds and trails. These machines generally have 3 reels displaying symbols such as fruit, numbers and gold bars. The aim of the game is to try and get a line of matching symbols, which then provides the option of cashing out your winnings or gambling them on a bonus round.

Online Blackjack
Blackjack first appeared in the 17th century in France, where it originated from a game called ‘Vingt en Un’ (translated into English this means ‘twenty and one’). The English name of Blackjack came from a feature of this centuries old game, where a hand of a Jack and an Ace of Spades heralded a special payout.
Blackjack is one of the most popular online casino games. The player competes against the dealer and the house to get a set of cards as close to the value of 21 as possible without exceeding it or ‘going bust’. Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points and Aces are 1 or 11 (dependent on the hand). To win, the player needs to beat the dealer without busting.

A casino game of Blackjack can have up to 6 players and 6 or 8 decks of cards are used by the dealer, who shuffles them and then places them in the shoe. Wagers are required before the croupier deals the cards – after the bets have been made, the dealer gives the players two cards each which are dealt face up. The house takes two cards as well but only one card is dealt face up. Each player can then either ask for more cards or decide to stay at the value / number of cards that they have. Players who do not bust must wait for the dealer’s hand. When all of the players are done (either bust or staying), the dealer turns over the house card that is dealt down. If the dealer draws less than 16, the house is required to draw again. If the draw is more than 17, the dealer must stay. The player may make Blackjack – a total of 21 off the first 2 cards, normally a face card and an Ace. This pays out 1 and ½ times the odds. However, if the dealer also has a Blackjack, the deal becomes a Push or a Tie (also known as a Stand-off) and all bets are returned.

Online Roulette
Online Roulette is the French word for ‘small wheel’ and it is one of the most popular online casino games worldwide. The first form of roulette was devised in 18th century France. The roulette wheel is believed to be a fusion of the English games Roly-Poly, Ace of Hearts, and E.O., the Italian board games of Hoca and Biribi, and an already existing French board game. Roulette is a game which consists of a wheel with black and red divisions and the player is able to bet on either red or black, odds or evens and particular numbers. The aim of the game is to predict where the ball will land on the wheel after each spin. Some players bet on winning numbers (‘hot numbers’) while others bet on those that have not come up for a while.There are two main types of Roulette – single zero or European Roulette and double zero or American Roulette. The wheel has between 37 and 38 slots, representing 36 numbers and up to 2 zeroes.
The wheel is mounted horizontally and the betting area is set up on a matching table. Up to 8 players can play the game simultaneously against the house, which is represented by a croupier or dealer who is responsible for spinning the wheel, takes the bets and handles the payouts.

Players place their bets by placing their chips onto the table layout or on the outside. Once the bets have been placed, the croupier will spin the wheel and launch the ball. Just before the ball is about to drop over the slots in the wheel, the betting is closed by the dealer. Once the ball has dropped into a slot and the table has been cleared of winning and losing bets, further bets can be placed on the next spin. Players win by placing bets on or around the number that the ball landed on. Bets that are placed on the outside of the layout can also win if the winning number is represented. Online Roulette can be played in a variety of ways, which makes it an adrenaline filled and exhilarating game for many players. Online casinos have different minimum and maximum bets, so be sure to check these prior to play. The payoffs are dependent on the position of the bet but there are general rules that apply. A Straight Up Bet or bet placed on one number only pays out at odds of 35 to 1 and a split bet (a bet placed on the line between two numbers, with one of them winning) is paid out at 17 to 1. A three number or street bet pays 11 to 1 and a corner bet of four numbers pays out at odds of 8 to 1. A six number bet pays out at 5 to 1 and a bet on the outside dozen or column is 2 to 1. Outside even money bets pay 1 to 1.

Online Bacarrat
Most people associate Baccarat with James Bond but it has a long and illustrious history. First introduced in the 14th century in France, it is similar to the games of Faro and Basset. Most casinos offer 3 varieties of Baccarat, namely chemin de fer (or railway), banque or punto banco (North American). These games have varying degrees of skill and luck, with punto banco being purely a game of chance.
In Baccarat, the cards from 2 to 9 are worth their face value. The tens and the face cards are worthless. The players add up their score by taking the sum of all cards but if the total is over ten, the first digit is ignore. Therefore if you have cards that equal 13, your score is 3. A hand that equals 0 (i.e. 10) is called Baccarat and is the worst hand. The winning hand is that which is equal to or closest to 9. A simple casino game, there are only 3 possible results or betting options in every game. These are the ‘player’, ‘banker’ and ‘tie’.
Baccarat is usually played in a separate area of the casino. The table is staffed by 3 dealers and can accommodate up to 14 players. Each hand consists of between 2 to 3 cards, with the cards being dealt face down.

OnlineCraps
Theban Dice was the earliest form of craps and was played in Egypt as far back as 1573BC. It progressed from there to the English game of Hazard, then to the loud and boisterous game that was played on the Mississippi steamboats and in New Orleans in the eighteenth century. It is now one of the most enjoyable casino games available. Craps provides better odds to the beginner than any other game but it can initially seem very intimidating and confusing. The game caters for over a dozen players and you play against the other players (this is known as street craps) or the bank (known as bank craps). The bets are made on the outcome of a roll or rolls of two dice.
Bank craps is a casino game that pits players against the casino, which covers all of the players’ bets at the table and then sets the odds for the payout. The players take turns at being the ‘shooter’ or the one rolling the dice while the other players bet furiously on the shooter’s rolls.
