Poker

A game for two or more users is played in several phases with new cards being dealt. In each phase, the player has to decide whether to bet or end the session. The winner is determined by the best hand.

Blackjack

After taking the bet the dealer hands the players two cards each. Then players take turns drawing an unlimited number of cards, trying to collect 21 points or more. A combination with a lower value is considered a loser.

Slots and slot machines

The machines do not require casino staff to be present. Having made a bet, the gamer spins the reels. A chain of identical pictures brings him a cash prize.

Roulette .

European and American roulette are the main types of roulette. European roulette uses a wheel with 37 sectors. A bet is placed on a certain number. The dealer starts the reel and throws the ball on it. The participant whose number corresponds to the cell the ball lands in after the drum stops wins.

The American version has a sector 00 (‘zero’), in which case the player loses the bet. The French version is a little softer – on a roll of ‘zero’ only half of the bet is forfeited.

Wheel of fortune

The sectors of the reel are denoted by the symbols: “prize”, “joker”, “winning amount” and others. Once a bet has been made, the wheel is unwound, usually vertically. Which symbol the pointer points to is the winner.

Craps

Opponents take the roll of one or more dice and place their bets on the number you wish to see. The winner will be the person who guesses a higher number than their opponent.

Keno

Baccarat

A sort of blackjack where two cards are dealt to each user. The aim of the game is to get a combination of 9 points or more. If the first two cards bring the total to less than five points, the player is dealt a third card.
