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: 6 decks are used here which is not so good, because as less decks are used as more easy it gets to keep track of the cards and to estimate your chances correctly via card counting. Additionally the cards are shuffled after every round. The house edge with the rules listed below is 0.56% which is simply bad.
Set: 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. Split Aces receive only one more card. If the dealer wins with a 10 showing the player will lose the full amount bet. If the dealer wins with an Ace showing the player will lose only the original amount bet (not including any additional money from doubling or splitting). Stakes (betting limits) are $1-$100.
Summary: This isn't a very good blackjack game. Stakes (betting limits) are very bad as well.
Poker (Caribbean)
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 5.21% which doesn't make it look competitive compared to other casino games. American Roulette has a slightly worse house edge though. Anyway, World Wide Gamble Casino makes this game interesting because it offers you 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. Ususally this side bet has a house edge of 30% - 70%, so only when the jackpot is very high the house edge decreases enough to really make this side bet worth a try. When you review the payoff chart keep in mind that some online casinos offer you a 999:1 payout for a Royal Flush.
The strategy for Caribbean Poker is quite simple: you should raise on any pair or better and fold on anything less than ace/king.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $5-$100.
Summary: There certainly are online casinos with much better Caribbean Poker games.

Roulette (American)
American Roulette Review
Game: A wheel with pockets numbered 0 to 36 is spun in one direction. A ball is spun around the wheel and as the ball slows, it drops into one of the pockets of the wheel. You bet on which pocket the ball will drop into.
Odds: This is an 'American' double-zero roulette (with two zeros on the wheel) which sets the basic house edge to 5.26%. Actually this house edge is too high to play here. No additional rules to decease this huge house edge are offered. For example the 'la partage' rule (also called the 'en prison rule' or 'Hamburg variation of the European half back rule'): if the zero comes up you lose only half your bet when betting on the 'outside' bets (the 'outside' bets are the bets that pay even money: high/low, red/black, odd/even). By losing only half your bet, the house edge on these ('outside') bets is cut down to 2.63% which is slightly better than the basic 2.7% house edge at an European Roulette table. Again, World Wide Gamble Casino does not offer such a rule.
Consider that inside bets offer far better payouts than outside bets, so bet the middle 12 once in a while. Generally the best idea is to bet on the streak that is running at the moment (e.g. if the last number was red, bet red). Avoid the five-number bet.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $1-$100 which is sparse.
Summary: Being a standard American roulette version this even is one of the worst games any casino has to offer. The betting limits sparse as well. There are better roulette tables in our Best Roulette List. If you would like to bet big, go to Global-Player Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 on a spin there.
