Blackjack Review Game: In Blackjack each card has a point value. You first get two cards, calculate their value and decide whether to draw more cards or not where the maximum total points allowed is 21. The dealer does the same thing. You try to be better than him (draw closer to 21).Odds: Set: You can play up to three hands at once which is excellent and lots of fun. The dealer stands on soft 17 (Ace & 6) which is good but standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards which is excellent. You can double down after you split pairs which is better than what land based casinos offer you but standard when it comes to online casinos. You may split pairs to two hands only which is below average really: many online casinos allow you to split your cards up to three or four hands. In this case it doesn't really matter: you still can start with three hands at once. You may draw to split Aces (excellent!). If the dealer has a blackjack you may lose no more than your original bet (American hole card rule). Insurance is offered (very good!). The cards are shuffled after every hand. Betting limits are $1-$250. Summary: There are not many online casinos offering such a good Blackjack game but there still are better ones. |

Craps Review Game: In Craps two dice are thrown by a player. If he rolls a 7 or 11, he wins. If he throws a 2, 3, or 12, he loses. If he throws any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) he continues throwing the dice and hopes that the same number will be thrown again before the 7 comes up. When the 7 comes up first, he loses. You can bet on the player or the house.Odds: The field bet pays 3:1 on the 12. All bets are turned on during the come out roll. Bonus points are awarded based on bets resolved. The house edge is 5% on all buy bets: 1.67% House Edge on '4 and 10', |

Keno Review Game: There are 80 numbered balls. You pick some numbers. 20 balls are drawn. You win of course as more of your picks match the numbers that were drawn.Odds: When playing Keno you have to separate between a) casinos paying you good already when you match only a few picks (therefore decreasing the payouts for matching many picks) and b) casinos paying you big only when you match many picks (therefore decreasing the payouts for matching only a few picks). You have to decide where you prefer to play. I'd play only the a) type. Set: You may pick 1 to 10 numbers, bet $1, $3, or $5 per picking, and play 1, 5, or 10 games at a times. The best bet is on the pick 6 at a return of 92.75%. Summary: Not one of the best places to play keno at but certainly ok. |

Caribbean Poker Review Game: In Caribbean Poker you place an ante (bet before game starts) and after having received five cards decide whether to compete against the dealer or not. You simply compare cards. The better hand wins.Odds: The basic house edge for this game is 5.22% which doesn't make it look competitive compared to other games. American Roulette has a slightly worse house edge though. Set: Usually online casinos offer a side bet of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain paying hands (flush or better). This extra win is based on the value of your own five-card hand, not on the hand of the dealer. So even if the dealer beats you or does not qualify you still get the bonus payoff. Stakes (betting limits) are $1-$250. Summary: There certainly are online casinos with much better Caribbean Poker games offering at least a side bet. |

Pai Gow Poker Review Game: Pai Gow Poker is a card game based on poker where you and the dealer get seven cards and have to split them into five and two cards, each of them containing a better hand than the dealer's in order to win (your five card hand has to be better than your two card hand).Odds: Actually only a Pai Gow Poker game where the casino alternates the turn of the banker is good because in the event of an exact match between hands, called a copy, the tie goes to the banker. It would set the house edge at 1.46%. (The probability that the two-card hands ("front hands") will copy is 2.55% and the probability that the five-card back hands (" back hands") will copy is 0.32%.) When it is your turn to be the banker the house has only an 0.08% edge over you. Because both the turn of the banker and the 0.08% edge alternate you end up with the aforesaid 1.46% house edge. At Usually a progressive jackpot is paid out if any 5 cards of the 7 cards you are dealt make up a royal flush. You are paid even money on all winning hands less a 5% commission (some casinos take a 2% commission only). Set: Betting limits are $1-$250 which is standard. Summary: There certainly are better Pai Gow Poker games out there offering a turn of banker or higher betting limits or at least a progressive jackpot. |

If the symbols align you win.Odds: It is difficult to calculate the payout probabilities of slot machines without knowing how many times a certain symbol appears on each real. You could sit in front of the slot machine, pull the lever 1,000,000 times and write the results down or rely on the information that Summary: Very good payouts on their slot machine. It's a pity though that they offer only one of them. |
