History

A man named Charles Fey developed the first commercially successful slot machine in his San Francisco machine shop around 1896. Made of cast iron with three internal reels, a slot for taking in coins and an external lever for activating the machine, it quickly became a staple of saloons, gambling houses and even many retail stores (where patrons would trade their winnings for goods from the store – hence the term "trade goods").

Today, no casino would be complete without the gleaming rows of the one-armed bandits. Slot Machines have expanded from the original design to today's multiple offerings – multi-line slots, video slots, and poker slots have become the new favorites, making the Slot Machine one of the most popular casino games today.

Multihand Poker
Multi-Hand Video Poker

Match winning combinations of hand ranks in any hand to win. Click 'Paytable' to see the payouts for each combination.

You get 5 cards face up on the deal and can choose to hold or discard any of them, then draw from the deck for your discards to make your best 5-card poker hand. With multi-hand versions, each hand in a game gets the same 5-card deal and hold cards, but then each hand will draw independently from its own deck, so you'll have many chances to draw a winning hand.

How to Play

Select the Coin Value and # Coins bet per hand to establish your Total Bet for each game.
Click Deal to receive a 5-card poker hand face up.
Click on any Card to hold it. All unmarked cards will be discarded. Click on a marked card again to unmark it.
Click Draw to discard your unmarked cards and draw replacement cards for each hand.
As each hand draws from its deck, the resulting hand will be displayed along with the amount of coins paid for any winning combination according to the Paytable, based on the number of coins bet per hand.
The Payout display shows the total amount of chips paid to your account balance for all winning hands in the game.

Aces & Faces is another form of Jacks or Better with a bonus given to certain 4-of-a-Kind hands. In regular Jacks or Better, 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin. Aces & Faces pays 40 on 4-of-Kind hands in Jacks, Queens and Kings. Get four Aces, and the payout is doubled to 80 per coin.

Bonus Poker pays a bonus on certain Four-of-a-Kind hands. Normally, Four-of-a-Kind pays 25 per coin, but with Bonus Poker it pays 40 per coin on four 2s, four 3s and four 4s. Get four Aces, and the payout zooms to 200 per coin!

Bonus Poker Deluxe is another form of Jacks or Better with a bonus given to 4-of-a-Kind hands. In regular Jacks or Better, 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin. Regular Bonus Poker pays 40 and Double Bonus Poker pays 80 on 4-of-a-Kind hands in Twos, Threes and Fours. Bonus Poker Deluxe pays 80 on all 4-of-a-Kind hands (Deuces through Aces).

Crazy 8s is an exciting game of draw poker where you only need a pair of Jacks or Better to win, but if you get four 8s in a hand, you win a bonus of 200 per coin bet over a normal 4-of-a-Kind payout. Get four 8s and an Ace, and the bonus jumps to 350. That's crazy!

Deuces & Joker Wild combines Deuces Wild with Joker Poker for more exciting Video Poker action. This game uses a 53-card deck with one Joker. The Joker and all four 2s (deuces) are wildcards, meaning they can act as any other card in the deck. You need a 3-of-a-Kind or better to win, but with five cards wild in rank and suit, it's easier to draw winning combinations.

Deuces Wild is a fun game of draw poker where all 2's ('deuces') are wildcards, meaning they can act as any other card in the deck. You need a 3-of-a-Kind or better to win, but Deuces are wild in both rank and suit to make it easier to draw a winning combination.

Double Bonus Poker is a form of Jacks or Better similar to Bonus Poker, but with a double bonus given to 4-of-a-Kind hands in Twos, Threes and Fours. In regular Jacks or Better, these 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin, but where Bonus Poker pays 40, Double Bonus Poker pays 80!

Double Double Bonus is a form of Jacks or Better similar to Double Bonus Poker, but with a double-double bonus given to certain 4-of-a-Kind hands in Twos, Threes and Fours. In regular Jacks or Better, these 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin, but where Double Bonus Poker pays 80, Double Double Bonus Poker pays 160 when the kicker (5th card) is Ace through Four. Get four Aces with a Two, Three or Four kicker, and the payout leaps to 400 per coin!

Double Joker Poker uses a 54-card deck with two Jokers as wildcards, meaning they can serve as any other card in the deck. Winning hand ranks start at two pair.

Jacks or Better is a classic game of draw poker where you only need a Pair of Jacks or better to win.

Joker Poker uses a 53-card deck with one Joker as a wildcard, meaning it can serve as any other card in the deck. Winning hand ranks start at a pair of Aces.

Tens or Better takes the classic game of Jacks or Better draw poker and makes it easier to get a winning hand. A pair of Tens or better will do the trick!

Roulette - Las Vegas Las Vegas Roulette Rules

Roulette comes from the French term for “small wheel”. Variations of wheeled games have been around for millennia. Legend has it that Roman soldiers tipped their chariots over to play games on the spinning wheel as a diversion between campaigns, and others tell of monks bringing a wheeled game back from China in the middle ages. By all accounts, roulette became widespread in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in France and Monte Carlo.

Today, the roulette wheel is perhaps the best internationally recognized icon symbolizing the glamour, excitement and prestige of high-class casino gaming.

American Roulette wheels are divided into 38 evenly spaced slots numbered 0, 00 and 1 through 36. The zero slots are green and the other numbers are either red or black. The evenly balanced wheel, usually made of polished wood, turns on a spindle. The dealer spins the wheel in one direction and releases a small ivory ball in the opposite direction into the outer edge of the wheel, where it circles many times before slowing down. As the ball loses momentum it falls toward the center of the wheel and drops into one of the slots. It may bounce around from slot to slot but eventually it settles into a single slot to end that round of the game.

The fascination of the game comes from the many ways to place a bet and the excitement and anticipation of watching the ball fall into a slot.

Game Play:

Players make bets against the House by placing chips in various boxes or on the lines between the boxes on the layout table.

The “Spin” button will not become active until at least one bet is placed on the layout. Players can place additional bets, modify existing bets or move chips from one location to another. The “Re-bet” button will place the same amount of chips on the same bets as you had on the previous spin. Once all desired bets are placed, players click the “Spin” button to spin up the wheel and release the ball. After a few seconds, the ball begins to fall toward the center as the wheel slows down. When the ball comes to rest in one of the slots all bets are settled.

The result of each spin is displayed in the tally board on the left side of your screen, with most recent results appearing at the bottom.

Blackjack Rules

Blackjack is a very popular game that probably originated in 16th Century France as vingt-et-un (20 and 1), hence its other name "21". It gained the English name Blackjack since a player who held the Ace of Spades (i.e. a Black spade) and the Jack of Spades as the first two cards would be paid out extra, and the gambler's penchant for easy rhymes took over (think "chuck-a-luck", "acey-duecy").

The object of the game is to get as close to 21 without going over ("bust").

Game Play:
Players will place their wagers in the center of the betting circle in front of their seat at the table. The dealer will then deal two cards, face up, to each Player and two to himself, one face up and one face down.

Our Blackjack is a multi-hand game, meaning you can play up to 3 hands at the same time. Simply place wagers in the betting circles to either side of the center seat if you want to play additional hands. It makes the game much more interesting and increases your chances of winning.

Card values:

Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10's each count as 10.
Aces count as 1 or 11, as a player wishes.
All other cards count at their face value (i.e. 2 through 9).

Scoring:

If a Player’s first two cards are an Ace and a 10 value card, the Player has Blackjack and will be paid one and one-half times the wager (3-to-2), unless the Dealer also has Blackjack – in which case it’s a push (bet neither paid nor taken). All other winning hands are paid even money (1-to-1).

A Blackjack will beat a point total of "21". For example, an Ace and a 10-value card will beat a 10, 5, 6 hand. Even though both hands total 21 points, the Blackjack wins.

The Player not having Blackjack may continue to draw cards attempting to total as close to 21 as possible without exceeding 21. He is free to stand at any point total or to ask for another card (a “hit”) at any point total under 21. If the Player goes over 21, he busts and loses his wager.

Dealer must hit on all totals of 16 or less. Dealer must stand on all totals of 17 or more.

Video Poker Deuces Wild Poker Rules

Just as poker began dominating card tables in America's Wild West, some enterprising enthusiasts added the concept of "wild" cards. The term may have derived from the famous wildcats, or mountain lions, that would occasionally come down from the hills at night to add a good deal of excitement to a mining camp.

There's plenty of excitement in our Deuces Wild Video Poker game. It's played like regular Video Poker, but the Deuces ("2"s) are wild, meaning they can take on the value of any other card to give you a stronger hand. With a Wild Deuce, you can turn a Pair into Three-of-a-Kind, or Two Pair into a Full House. It's easy, it's fun – and, with a wildcard in your hand, there's always plenty of excitement!

Game Play:

When the DEAL button is clicked, the machine will deal five cards, all face up. Since this is draw poker, you can chose to hold or discard any of the five cards. Your goal is make the best hand you can between your original deal and your potential draw. Any Deuces you get are wild, so they can help you make a better hand.

To hold or keep a card, click the HOLD button under that card or simply click the card. A pin will appear to indicate that the card is to be held, and the Hold button changes to RELEASE. If you change your mind, click Release or (click the card). After cards-to-hold are selected, click DRAW to draw new cards for those which are to be discarded (i.e. not held).

These new drawn cards plus the hold cards from the first deal constitute your final hand (always a total of 5 cards), and the game pays according to the chart at the top of the machine. Payout is accomplished by increasing your coin credits (shown as a CREDIT meter on the machine face).

Coins In, Coin Value and Coins Credit

You can drop as many Casino chips as you wish into the Insert Coins slot. Putting chips in the slot increases your coin credits based on the coin setting for the machine and the dollar value of the chips. The Video Poker machine can be set to play $0.25 coins, $1 coins or $5 coins. If you put a $10 Casino chip in a machine with a $1 coin setting, your coin credits will be 10. If you change the coin setting to $0.25, your coin credits will increase to 40 (for a $10 chip).

The minimum bet per hand is 25 cents and the maximum is $25 (5 coins times $5 per coin).

When you are finished playing, you can click COINS OUT to exchange your coin Credits for Casino chips. As the coins come out of the machine, the number of Credits will be multiplied by the coin value setting ($0.25, $1 or $5) and the resulting amount will be added to your Casino Account balance. If you exit the game without clicking Coins Out, we will automatically empty the machine and increase your Account balance by the proper amount.

Payouts

Payouts are as shown in the chart at the top of the machine. The payout table has rows containing the payout amounts for various rankings of poker hands (see listing below). Each rank has 5 possible payout amounts, depending on the number in the Coins Bet meter. As you change the Coins Bet value, the vertical column of payout amounts for that Coins Bet number will be highlighted.

For example, if you play 1 coin in a $5 Video Poker machine and come up with a Natural Royal Flush, you will be credited with 250 coins which represent a winning of $1,250. If you had bet the maximum of 5 coins and came up with a Natural Royal Flush, you would be credited with 4000 coins – representing a winning of $20,000 on a $5 machine!!

luckywheel Las Vegas Money Wheel Rules:

Known variously as Money Wheel, Big 6 Wheel and Wheel of Fortune, this familiar game is based on a popular carnival attraction that has its roots in the days of chariot warfare.

In the aftermath of battle, victorious soldiers often contested over the spoils of their fallen enemy. Anxious to avoid further bloodshed among their troops, commanders encouraged using games of chance to settle disputes. Those upended chariots strewn across the battlefield served this purpose nicely: A spear was thrust into the soil next to the wheel to serve as a reference point, and each contestant made his mark on the rim between two spokes. The wheel was given a good spin, and the soldier whose mark settled closest to the spear won the prize without a fight.

As swords were beat into plowshares, former soldiers brought their spinning game of chance to country festivals celebrating the harvest. One adaptation lead to the smaller horizontal wheels of Roulette, but the large vertical wheel remained a fixture of festivals because it could be easily seen by a crowd of people gathered in the fairway. That tradition has carried on to this day at many local carnivals and is even the centerpiece of a popular TV game show from America now shown all over the world.

Because of its popularity and easy-to-play premise, Money Wheel is probably the first game you'll see when walking into most casinos. It usually has a crowd pressing in from all sides, gasping and cheering as the wheel comes to a full stop. Part of the thrill is watching with anticipation as the wheel slows down and each outcome passes by more slowly than the last. Will it stop on this one? Or keep on to the next? Place your bets and join the fun!
