arm - A term used in the game of craps to denote a player who is so skilled at throwing the dice that they are able to alter the conventional odds of the game. Such a player is said to be 'an arm'. Whether or not such individuals actually exist or are simply the product of game legend is debatable.

In a way it is similar to the card game punto banco or baccarat. There are only three types of bets you can place: "big" or "small" or "aces". Big is when the total points of the three dice is 14, 15 or 16. Small is when the total points of the three dice is 5, 6 or 7. Aces is when the total points of the three dice is 3 (one dot per dice). The dealer will be re-rolling the dice until one of these results shows up. Big and small both pay even money while aces pays 61 to 1.

The traveling bankroll can be further divided into a specific lesser amounts for each day of the trip, or into even smaller amounts called table sitting or session playing stakes which predetermine how much will be risked during any given session or table sitting. These different types of bankrolls often figure into the overall money management strategy the player uses to keep control over their gambling cash activity.

If the dealer takes the bank note you dropped in front of you on the layout as a lost bet, but NOT on any of the other possible wagers, then you have a legitimate beef. The casino film recording can be reviewed but that does not immunize you for your failure to tell the dealer you want chips in exchange for your currency.

In a negative streak betting or negative progression betting system you do exactly the opposite by increasing the wager size on each subsequent loss.

If this process were continued until the 52nd card was placed on top, then the sequential ordering among the cards would have been completely reversed. This characterizes the basic process of striping. The process described above would be a very fine strip. Often the dealers will speed up the process by rapidly pulling small clumps of cards off the top of the deck rather than a single card at a time. The number of cards in the clumps determine how fine or coarse the striping process is.

T
TAB - totalisator agency board. The body appointed to regulate off-course betting (bets made by people who are not present at the race track).
Table hold - the amount of money won by the casino table game from the players during an eight-hour work shift.
Table stakes - in poker, stakes in which the betting and raising is limited to the amount of money a player has on the table in front of him.
Taking the odds - there are two fundamental forms of wagering, 'taking the odds' and 'laying the odds'. In most casino games the player is 'taking the odds' by wagering an amount that is less than they will receive if they win, that is; if you wager $1 you would win more than $1. In most forms of sports betting, some odds are so high in favour of the likely winner that winning wagers get paid an amount less than the amount wagered by some percentage, and this is what is meant by 'laying the odds'.
Tapping out - losing one's entire gambling bankroll and thus having to stop playing.
Tell play - observing the dealer's body language and expressions to determine his hole card. In poker game 'tells' pertain to quirks or readable aspects of a players actions, verbal behavior, or body language that give away information about what cards they are holding.
Third base - in blackjack, the spot nearest the dealer’s right hand, which will be played last before the dealer’s hand is played.
Third street - in seven-card stud, the first round of betting is called third street because the players have three cards.
Three-card monte - A three-card game similar to bragg.
Three of a kind - in poker, three cards of the same rank.
Ticket - A card.
Time cut (also, axe or collection) - money charged each player on a time basis by the casino or by the poker room owner. Charge is usually on a 3 minute or an hourly basis.
Toke - toke is short for 'token'. A tip given to the dealer in the form of money or chips. Unlike tokens, tokes are more specifically the tips that the game dealers receive from the players. A player who is known to toke the dealer heavily is sometimes referred to as a 'george' or a 'real george'.
Token - the casino own coins used to play slot machines instead of real coins.
Touch wand - A pointing device used on some video keno machines to select numbers.
Tournament - basically, a competition game between a group of players over a period of time. For example, in poker tournaments a bunch of poker players sit down with the same number of chips, and eventually only one player has any chips left. In order to ensure that the event will finish in reasonable time, tournaments institute a schedule by which the blinds and/or antes increase. Tournaments are usually played with chips that have no value outside of the tournament. So a buy-in of $30 might get you $500 in tournament chips to play with, but you can't cash them out in the middle. The winner of a tournament (the last player to bust out) as well as several of the other top finishers are typically awarded prize money according to some predetermined schedule. Tournament details vary widely, but a typical arrangement might include an initial buy-in, a re-buy period during which a player who runs out of tournament chips may buy more, and an opportunity to add on to one's stack after the re-buys have ended. Other details about the structure can vary widely.
Trente et quarante (thirty and forty) - also called rouge et noir or red and black, is a game of french origin found in french and other european casinos played with cards and a special table. The game has many similarities to baccarat. The name trente et quarante is derived from the fact that the winning point lies between thirty and forty. There are five possible outcomes: rouge or noir, known as the "grand tableau", and couleur or inverse, known as the "petit tableau", and a refait (a tie). The house derives its edge (1.1%) in the event of a tie, when the house takes one half of all the stakes. There is also an insurance bet option against the 'tie' outcome.
Trips - three cards of the same rank.
Tronc - A designated box for collecting the tips for the dealers given by players when they win.
True odds - the real odds of something happening. Actual odds taking into account the casino edge. The ratio of the number of times one event will occur to the number of times that it will not. The odds posted in a casino are usually not the true odds.

U
underlay - A bad or unfavorable bet. An event that has more money bet on its happening than can be justified by the probability of it happening.
Unit (betting units) - technical term used to express the smallest amount of money used in wagering without specifying the actual dollar or other currency amount. The player's actual 'chip' bet may be $1, $5, $25, $100 or other value. However, for purposes of simplifying gambling related calculations, the wager is specified as simply one betting unit or one chip.
Up card (upcard) - the face up card of the dealer's initial hand in blackjack. Standard casino rules require the dealers to deal their own opening hands with one card face-up and one card face-down. The card that is dealt face-up is the dealers 'up card'. The card the is dealt face-down is said to be the dealers 'hole card'.

V
videomat casino - is a casino that offers automatic games only, that do not require a dealer or a croupier, such as slot machines and electronic touch-bet roulette. They are normally open 24 hours or from 10am daily, and there is usually an in-house bar or snack bar.
Vig., vigorish - the casino edge, fee or commission taken by the house.
Viking poker - A poker name commonly used in some european casinos, is the equivalent of caribbean stud poker.
VIP - A very important person. Usually a big bettor or a high roller.
VLT - video lottery terminal

W
wager - any bet.
Washing - to show that they are not taking any chips with them, croupiers always rub their hands over, known as 'washing', before leaving the table. See also 'card washing'
web wallet - A secure and convenient software tool for managing your online transactions, such as depositing money with online casinos or making a withdrawal from your balance.
Whale - A player who makes extremely large wagers. Unlike high rollers who consistently wager $100 or more per round, whales are typically those who make wagers amounting to thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per round.
White meat - profit.
Wild card - A joker or other card that can be used as any other card to complete your hand in card games.
Wild royal flush - A royal flush that makes use of a wild card.
Wired cards (also, back-to-back) - in poker, a pair, trips, or four of a kind dealt consecutively or back-to-back in a hand, usually in a stud hand starting with the first card.
Withdrawal - A request you make to receive money from your account.
Wong, wonging, wonger - (named after stanford wong) in blackjack, to count the cards dealt at a particular table and to then join play only when the count indicates the game has swung to the player's advantage. The term has been expanded to include playing in favorable situations in a number of other games.

Top 10 casino games

Everyone loves to have a gamble from time to time (myself included). Unfortunately we don’t always win, but the real fun is in the playing, not the winning. Here is a list of the top 10 casino games.

Bingo is a game in which players try to match randomly selected numbers to the numbers on their card. The card consists of a 5×5 matrix where each column is represented by the letters B-I-N-G-O. The middle square is typically a free square. The first person to form a specific pattern (usually a straight line) calls out “bingo!”. The card gets checked for accuracy and the winner is announced. Then a new round begins.

In baccarat each player has three options: player, tie, and banker. When all players have placed their bets, the dealer deals out two 2-card hands, one is the banker hand while the other is the player hand. The hands are added up. If a hand totals over ten, the ten is dropped (I.E. 9+5=14=4). A hand equaled to 10 becomes a 0 or baccarat. The winning hand would be the higher of the 2 and anyone who placed a corresponding bet wins.

8. Wheel of fortune (the big six)

This game is played by placing your bet on one of 6 symbols on the game table. Then the wheel is spun. The wheel is divided into 52 equal sections that are separated by pins around the edge. When the wheel comes to a stop, the pointer will be between two pins. All bets placed on the symbol the wheel stops on, win.

Keno is a lottery game. The player get a card numbered 1 to 80. The player then picks up to 20 numbers and a wager. The card is then registered and the game begins. The caller announces 20 randomly drawn numbers. The player tries to match as many called numbers to their selected numbers. The more numbers matched the higher the winnings paid against their wager.

Pai gow poker is played against the house instead of the other players. The dealer deals out 7 cards to each player and himself in rotation. Everyone then looks at their cards and tries to make the best 5-card and 2-card poker hands. The 5-card hand must rank higher than the 2-card hand. The hands are then compared against the dealers. If both hands beat the dealer, the player wins. If both lose, the player loses. If both the dealer and the player win on a hand, it is a push.

In roulette, the player places his chips on the table where they would like to wager. The table consists of number 0-36 and 00 and then has additional betting for even-odd, red-black, low 18-high 18, low/middle/high 12, and for the first/second/third columns. A player may also place their bet between 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbers and may cross bet between the additional betting area. The dealer will signal no more bets. The dealer will spin the wheel in a clockwise direction then roll a ball in a counter-clockwise direction. The ball lands in a numbered slot on the wheel. All bets that correspond with the number win.

Slots are machines that play a number of different games. They are very popular. In general the player will insert coins into the machine and either pull a handle or press a button. This causes the wheels to spin. In older styled slot machines there were 3 wheels. In the newer machines they tend to have 3 to 5 simulated wheels. When the wheels stop, the player is paid based on the pattern of symbols.

Blackjack is a card game played between the house and the player. The dealer deals out two cards to each player and their self. The dealer has one card face up and one down. The players then take turns trying to get as close to 21 without going over. Aces are equal to 1 or 11. Face cards are 10 and number cards are face value. The player calls hit to get a card, and stand to end their turn. A player may also call double to double their bet and may only receive one card and the turn ends. If a player has two identically numbered cards, they may split. This requires them to double their bet and then get two more cards making two new hands that they may play. After all players turns are over, the dealer reveals their card. The dealer then hits if the total is 16 or less and stands on 17 and higher. Everyone who has a hand that beats the dealer without going over 21 wins.

Craps is a high energy dice game based on 7. The player places bets around the table. There are many places to bet. The pass line is the main focus of the game. 7 and 11 win on this line while 2, 3 and 12 lose. All other numbers rolled make an established point. If that number is rolled again before a 7 is rolled, the bet wins. The don’t pass line is just the opposite, 2 and 3 win where 7 and 11 loses. The field line wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. 2 and 12 pay double. The come line is playable after a point is established. It plays the same as the pass line. The don’t come plays like don’t pass after the point is established. Then you also can make bets on the horn. These bets are on getting 2, 3, 11, or 12 on the next roll. Other bets include big 6/8, C&E, any seven, and craps.

Poker is a card game base on a 5 card hand. The ranking of hands from lowest to highest are high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush. The player with the best hand wins. There are many versions of poker such as 5-card draw, 5-card stud, texas hold’em, omaha hold’em, razz, pineapple, and 7-card stud.

Play dice twister arcade game at casino.Com UK

The game of dice has been around for millennia. The ancient egyptians played it three thousand years before christ was born, and the romans were playing it when they conquered the known world. Their small size and the simplicity of the game has given dice an enduring appeal.

Dice twister is another evolutionary stage for the game of dice. In this entertaining arcade game, there are three dice and players get to pick on all the possible outcomes. It’s an enticing blend of both craps and roulette.

The game starts with a board offering all the various betting options, based on three dice. The odds are all relative. For example: you can bet on all three dice adding up to a total of between 9 and 12. A successful bet would win you 2x your stake. Raise the stakes and bet on the total being exactly 11 and you stand to win 7.75x your stake. Go crazy and bet on a total of 17 (6 + 6 + 5) and you could win 70x your stake. The maximum £1 bet would result in a £70 jackpot.

10 simple casino gambling strategies that work like magic

Though most of the gambling strategies listed below are simple, they quickly reduce the house edge.

If you play the best strategy you can, you'll be able to win more playing sessions and play longer on the same bankroll.

1 – take the odds

When you play craps you start each sequence of rolls with a come out roll. You can bet on the pass or don't pass line during a come out roll. Eventually (usually after one roll, but not always) a point is set.

Once a point is set you can place a special wager called an odds bet. The odds bet doesn't have a marked place on the table because the casinos don't really want you to place them. You slide your bet out behind the pass line or don't pass line bet you placed and say you want the odds. If you have any questions ask one of the casino personnel running the game.

Odds bets are offered at true odds of zero. The house edge is zero, so you should place odds bets whenever you have the opportunity.

2 – blackjack basic strategy

Playing perfect basic strategy while playing blackjack can help you reduce the house edge by 3% or more. The house rules have a great deal to do with the overall house edge but no matter what the rules, if you play using the best strategy you'll save money in the long run.

This gives you the best chance to have a winning session every time you play and it helps you lose less when you have losing sessions.

Blackjack strategy cards and charts are available online and in most casino stores.

3 – video poker strategy cards

Of course you want to play only on the video poker machines that offer the best pay charts in the casino, but you should always use a strategy card for the game you're playing. Using a strategy card can save you 2% or more on every hand you play.

As you can often play hundreds of hands per hour, saving this much can help you play up to four times longer on the same bankroll over time.

You can pick up strategy cards in the casino gift shop or print one from the internet. If I plan to play video poker I slip the popular strategy cards in my pocket before heading to the casino so I'm prepared for whatever game is available with a good pay chart.

4 – always bet the banker

When you play baccarat you should always bet on the banker. It offers the lowest house edge and is the only strategy decision you can make at the table to help you.

The banker bet has a house edge of just a hair over 1%, making it one of the lower house edges in the casino.

5 – slow down at the slot machines

Slot machines have some of the highest house edges you can find in a casino. On top of that you can usually play 300 or more spins per hour.

When you combine a large house edge and so many decisions per hour you create one of the worst things you can do in a casino.

While there aren't any true strategies that can help you beat slot machines in the long run, the best thing you can do (beyond simply not playing) is slow down your play. If you only play 100 spins per hour instead of 300 your bankroll will last three times as long on average.

6 – play fewer texas hold 'em hands

If you want to start winning more when playing texas hold 'em, you need to start playing fewer hands.

The basic idea is if you enter hands with better starting hands than your opponents on average you'll win more hands. Of course in the short run anything can happen, but the better starting hand wins more often than the other hand in the long run.

If you've been losing on a consistent basis and are willing to try something drastic to change your outcome try this experiment for the next 10 hours you play.

Only enter the pot with the following hands.

10/10

A/K suited or not

A/Q suited or not

A/J suited or not

A/10 suited or not

K/Q suited

K/J suited

I realize you won't be playing many hands, but you stand a much better chance of winning than when you play 30 or 40% (or more) of your starting hands.

Once you prove you can do it for 10 hours of play you can start playing a few more hands, but don't go wild. Losing players play too many hands, not too few. Eventually you should shoot for playing an average of somewhere around 20% of your hands.

Once you start playing fewer hands you can start working on other things to improve your game like position and post flop play.

7 – only play on single zero wheels

Roulette is a game that doesn't have much strategy that can change the long term outcome. It doesn't matter what you bet on the house edge is the same.

What you can do is only play on roulette wheels with only a single zero space. Wheels with a double zero and a single zero space have a house edge of over 5.2%. The house edge on single zero wheels is only 2.7%.

Though it doesn't work out perfectly in the short run, in the long run you can play almost twice as long on the same bankroll at a single zero wheel than you can playing a double zero wheel. This is enough reason for this simple strategy to be included on any list.

8 – just place one bet

This one may be a bit out there for some, especially if you gamble because you enjoy the action.

I have a friend who uses a unique system or strategy every time he takes a trip to las vegas. He divides his bankroll by the number of days on the trip and bets the entire stake for each day on a close to 50 / 50 wager at the beginning of the day.

If he wins the bet he puts the original wager in his pocket for profit and plays the rest of the day with his win. When he loses he does something else all day.

He starts with a $2,000 bankroll for a five day trip. This gives him a daily bankroll of $400. Every day when he gets up he finds a single zero roulette wheel and places a $400 bet on red or black or even or odd. When he wins he puts his $400 in his pocket and gambles with the $400 he won.

On an average trip he'll win two or three of the five first bets so he'll come home with $800 to $1,200 almost every trip. Of course over the long run he may have a few times where he doesn't get to gamble at all besides the first bets of the day.

After this happened the first time he considered changing his plan so he'd be guaranteed a chance to gamble more, but he decided to stick with his original plan.

A few things he considered doing differently:

You can divide your trip bankroll by an extra day creating an extra amount you can use if you lose your original wager two days in a row.

In the example above you'd divide $2,000 by six for a daily bankroll of $333. If you lose your first bet both of the first two days you can play with your extra $333 that day.

The other thing you can do is recycle your winnings from earlier days when you lose the first bet.

If you win your first bet on day one you can use the money you put in your pocket to play on a day when you lose the first wager.

You'll also win some days with the money you gamble with throughout the day. You can use that money to play later on your trip too.

9 – play tournaments

Tournaments are a great way to play for a big prize while investing a set amount of money.

You pay an entry fee and if you do well enough you win a prize. Payout structures vary, but the largest tournaments can have payout in the hundreds of thousands or millions.

You can find all kinds of tournaments. Most people think about poker tournaments, but many casinos offer slots tournaments, blackjack tournaments, and video poker tournaments.

This is one of the best strategies for extending your bankroll.

Some players plan their entire gambling trip around tournaments.

When you play tournaments you don't have to win very often to make money in the long run. Even if you're just able to place high enough to win something occasionally you'll usually do better than letting a regular table game or machine grind your money down.

10 – bluff less

This one goes for any type of poker including texas hold 'em, 7 card stud, and omaha. You should bluff less than you do now.

It always looks like the players on television are bluffing all the time but the truth is most pros only bluff occasionally.

Try bluffing half the time you currently do in the future. You'll find your bluffs work more often and you make more money the times when you aren't bluffing.

Conclusion

Use the simple strategies listed above to win more often and play longer. Everything is simple enough that any casino gambler can do it, so why not give one or more strategies a try?

Pros and cons of table game bonuses

Online casinos offer plenty of bonuses to new players. Their goal is to use these deals to attract new gamblers and retain their play.

Much of the emphasis is put on slots bonuses. However, table game offers are available, too.

That said, I’m going to discuss more on what table game bonuses are, along with what you need to do to earn them. I’ll finish by discussing the advantages and drawbacks of these deals.

What are table game bonuses?

As you may know, casino table games include anything that’s played on a table. The most popular games in this category are the following:

Therefore, a table game bonus revolves around playing associated games. For example, you might see a 100% match bonus that can only be unlocked by playing specific table games.

But what if you don’t enjoy spinning the reels? Table game bonuses still give you a chance to earn bonus money based on a different type of gaming.

Wagering requirements behind these deals

Like many online casino bonuses, table game offers feature a variety of terms and conditions (T&cs). You need to meet each of these terms before cashing out money from a bonus.

Of these terms and conditions, wagering requirements (a.K.A. Playthrough) are arguably the most important. Playthrough dictates how much you need to bet before withdrawing money.

Here’s an example:

You’re eligible for a $100 table game bonus

Playthrough is 200x the bonus

200 x 100 = $20,000 must be wagered

The obvious goal here is to find the lowest wagering requirements possible. You can develop a feel for what constitutes low playthrough by looking around the industry.

Do note, though, that wagering requirements on table game deals are always much higher than what’s seen with slots bonuses. The reason being is that an average online table game has a lower house edge than the standard internet slot.

That said, you may want to do some comparisons between slots and table game bonuses to see which is ultimately the better deal. Here are some examples.

Slots bonus

You’re going for a $50 bonus

Playthrough is 45x the bonus

50 x 45 = $2,250 must be wagered

You play a slot with a 4% house edge

2,250 x 0.04 = $90 in theoretical losses

Table game bonus

You’re going for a $50 bonus

Playthrough is 200x the bonus

200 x 50 = $10,000 must be wagered

You play a blackjack game with a 0.5% house edge

10,000 x 0.005 = $50 in theoretical losses

Of course, playthrough isn’t the only term behind table game bonuses. Below, you can see a few other terms and conditions that are often included:

Game restrictions – specific games that either feature higher wagering requirements or are completely disqualified.

Claim timeframe – you have to claim a bonus within the specified time period.

Playthrough timeframe – you also need to meet playthrough within a given number of weeks/months.

Deposit restrictions – neteller and skrill deposits aren’t usually eligible for online casino bonuses.

Advantages of table game bonuses

If you’re interested in online table game offers, then you’ll be happy to know they offer multiple advantages. Here are the biggest benefits to pursuing such bonuses.

Earn money on the side of your favorite table games

Do you love playing online baccarat, blackjack, and/or roulette? If so, then you’ll appreciate being able to earn extra money on the side of your play.

All you need to do is play games designated by the terms to start unlocking your bonus. Once you meet wagering requirements, then you can withdraw the bonus funds.

Even if you don’t satisfy playthrough, you’ll have fun making an effort to do so while enjoying exciting casino games.

Common games like baccarat and blackjack aren’t the only options for meeting wagering requirements. Caribbean stud, pai gow poker, and three-card poker are often included in the equation, too.

Play low risk games

One of the biggest draws to table games is that they don’t have as high of a house edge as slots, keno, and scratch cards. In fact, certain table games give you some of the best chances to beat the casino.

Here are the top online casino games in terms of house advantage:

Online blackjack = 0.3% to 1.5% house edge

Baccarat = 1.06%

Craps = 0.46% (don’t pass line backed w/ 2x odds)

French roulette = 1.35%

European roulette = 2.70%

You can see there are several good options when beating the house is top priority. The fact that you can earn bonuses on the side only sweetens the deal.

Sometimes you get a better offer

Earlier, I made a comparison between wagering requirements on table game and slots bonuses.

Sometimes, you’ll find table game bonuses that are a better deal than the slots offers. These deals will have playthrough that make them the superior choice.

Drawbacks to table game bonuses

These bonus deals definitely have some things going for them. But they also have a few downsides too, which you certainly want to know about beforehand.

Wagering requirements are quite high

Table game bonuses can feature anywhere from 100x to 400x playthrough. The latter range is what you really need to worry about when going for these deals.

Table game offers that carry between 200x and 400x wagering requirements often lead to high theoretical losses, even when you’re playing a favorable blackjack game.

This high playthrough does two things:

Forces you to play for a long time to earn a bonus.

Increases the chances you’ll lose money by the time the bonus is unlocked.

These deals are often worse

I’ve shown a couple of scenarios where table game bonuses are either equal to or better than slots deals regarding terms and conditions. However, the latter are often superior when everything is taken into account.

First off, slots bonuses normally feature lower theoretical losses. The extremely high wagering requirements on table game bonuses, meanwhile, cancels out low house edges with baccarat, blackjack, french roulette, etc.

You should still go for table game deals if you enjoy these games. Be forewarned, though, that you’ll be at a handicap in comparison to those pursuing slots bonuses.

Several excluded games

The term “table games” implies you’ll be able to play any game within this category to satisfy playthrough. The reality, though, is that these deals usually restrict several different games.

Baccarat, craps, french roulette, european roulette, and certain blackjack variations can all be restricted. One or more of these games may still be eligible for playthrough purposes, but the point is that multiple games won’t.

Online casinos restrict certain games due to a combination of a low house edge and ease of play.

Assuming these games aren’t completely restricted from satisfying wagering requirements, they may have higher playthrough.

Here’s an example of high playthrough:

Casino game that starts with a k

There are three basic variations on the roulette theme in casinos around the world, although the differences are very small. They are british, american and french. In france the american roulette game is called english roulette, which is more accurate.

The game is all about predicting where a little white ball will come to rest after spinning around the rim of a roulette wheel. The ball circles for as many as 40 revolutions and as few as 4, the carousel (middle bit with the slots in, or hub) spins continuously in the opposite direction. When the ball and carousel collide, the ball bounces randomly and eventually runs out of steam to rest in a slot with a number attached to it. That number is the winning one.

The wheel sits on a roulette table that has a cloth 'layout'. The layout design has numbers drawn on it that correspond to those in the wheel ( 0 - 36 ). Money placed on, or associated with, the winning number on the cloth layout is rewarded with a prize payout in casino chips. There are different odds payouts associated with different number selections. (full details of how to play roulette)

Its a fast action game that brings out the best and the worst of tempers. A quiet mid-week night in a provincial casino can be as boring as hell but saturday night will see plenty of cheering and swearing. This ain't for the faint hearted or weak willed. It can destroy sane people!

What about the different games? Well now, here's the funny thing. If you walk into a british casino you will, more often than not, see the roulette table designated as 'american roulette'. What makes it american is that it uses different coloured chips for each player at the table so that their bets can be told apart. It is in fact british (see below).

Types of roulette game
NAME	NUMBERS	ODDS¹	HOUSE EDGE	CHARACTERISTICS
american	38	35-1	5.40%	- coloured playing chips - tipping of gaming staff - double zero present, "00"
british	37	35-1	2.78%	- coloured playing chips - tipping allowed - single zero present, "0"
french	37	35-1	2.78%	- cash playing chips - tipping staff essential - single zero present, "0"
(1) odds of payout for a full bet on a single number

American like to play roulette with a " 00 " and a hefty edge against them. The wheel has the normal numbers from 1 to 36 in alternate red and black colours with a green zero and also their 'double zero', also green. Therefore the game has a total of 38 numbers to bet on. The edge against the player is large and consequently the game is not nearly so popular there. Tipping the croupier for a good win is also a tax on top of the house vig. Ouch!

British have the best of it. No tipping ( a lovely 1968 rule ) used to be the law but changes in the 2005 gaming act now allow it but it is not as common as in europe or the US. European roulette wheels, and that includes the U.K, have the numbers in a different order to an american wheel. Both alternate red and black but the european wheel also alternates high and low where as the U.S wheel alternates two low, two high. Another curious difference is that the numbers on a european wheel face inwards and they face outwards on a U.S wheel. Roulette is more popular in britain than anywhere else.

French roulette is played in many places in france and some other fancy casinos around the world. It is a slow, etiquette style game where large cash chips are placed by the two croupiers for the punters. All chips look the same so it is essential that the croupier has great skill in remembering who owns each bet. Nowadays this form is receding into being a show-piece. It doesn't make the house a lot of money but the tips are expected to flow freely.

Mathematically it is true that if you double up your stakes after a loss, you will eventually win all your money back. The trouble with applying that idea to anything in reality is that a losing streak can force some pretty large bets. You may not have the money to back it up but most certainly you will reach the house limit at some point in time. It is doomed to failure. Don't get caught by this because if you try it, it is likely to succeed for a time before the big crash hits you!

Famous systems: for the record, the simple doubling when you lose system is called the martingale. You start with 1 unit on red (or any even chance bet), then bet 2,4,8,16 and so on, as long as you lose. Whenever you win, you only make a profit of 1 unit. Conversely, the anti-martingale system attempts to take advantage of those long runs by doubling up stakes as you win. This is done by placing your unit bet on an even chance choice and letting the winnings ride until you reach a number of consecutive wins that you thought of before you started. (1+1+2+4+8+16=32 or a return of 32 for 1 after five consecutive wins) this is as equally doomed as its older brother but it doesn't have the potential for catastrophic ruin in one outing.

The labouchère is an appealing try for betting on even chance bets. Take, for instance, six numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 (you could have 4 or 8 numbers) and bet the total of the first and the last, 1+6=7. If you win you add that number to the end of the sequence, i.E. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Now play 1+7=8. If you lose you cross out the first and the last to leave you with 2,3,4,5 and then bet 2+5=7.
Three straight wins from the off and you'll win 24 units whilst losing 3 straight will lose 21 and cross out all the numbers. Of course you are likely to lose more often than you win but its a close thing.
This is a system that limits losses and plays up a 'good run'. Have a solid figure in mind at which you'll stop when ahead and when behind! GGG thinks this is fun and treated with care it will provide some chance to win and have good fun at the same time.

The d'alembert is simply another adding and subtracting system for even chances . For example, bet 10 units on red and if you win, bet 9 on the next spin. If you lose bet 11. Whenever you get to a zero bet you are in profit. The big problem is that you could go on losing all night. GGG doesn't like this much.

There are three serious ways to win at the game of roulette. The third way is to cheat and we will not be condoning any method that involves cheating! We recommend cheats to head for the door.

The two serious attempts to win involve understanding the game and what it is all about. As a customer you may never have thought what is going on but will almost certainly have thought of betting systems that could win for you. Ask yourself why did you do that. Then sit down and begin thinking what the game is. It is a mechanical system for producing random numbers. Which is impossible.

Prediction. A wheel turning in one direction with a gentle slowdown and a ball travelling in the other with a fast but predictable decay. People have used computers to track both and predict where they'll meet. Lots of time and money to develop and if you get spotted they will bar you from entering the casino. This is as tough as it gets. In nevada its illegal. Over here there is no law. However if they suspect you or can trump up a rumour about you, they will not pay you your money!

Bias. In the late nineteenth century, english engineer joseph jagger took 1.5 million francs from the grand casino in monte carlo. He had hired six clerks to record numbers from the roulette wheels for one month to find that they weren't true random number generators. He played the biased numbers for a long stretch and cashed big-time! If he could do it, so can others. This is very very tough, needing a lot of casino experience. Casinos nowadays take measures against this.

Yes it is true that people have won money in a professional sense at this game. How? Because nobody believes that it is possible and when it does happen, the denial just grows and grows until it can't be admitted. Your aim should be to play this game for fun with limited risk. Just set aside an exact amount of money and play it up as slowly or aggressively as you like to suit your style. Give yourself goals to achieve and stick to them. If you happen to reach them quickly, stop and live it up in the bar or restaurant.

Books
the only decent practical book that has had a good print run and therefore available is beating the wheel by russell T. Barnhart . There is also a good read novel, thirteen against the bank, by norman leigh .

Blackjack is the major table game in the U.S but in the UK it is way behind roulette in terms of turnover. This game can actually be interesting to play and if you do your homework (read some books) then you can cut the house edge down to nothing (warning: this is tough!).

To play you must first place a bet (say £10). Two cards are dealt face up to you and one to the dealer. Your aim is to make your cards total more than the dealers but not go over 21 ( bust ) which forfeits your bet.. You may ask for additional cards and once you've decided to stop taking them the dealer begins adding cards to their hand. They must draw a card if their total is less than 17 and stop once they reach 17 or more. Over 21 ( bust or 'to many' ) and the players hand wins if it is still live.

If your total is higher than the dealer's or the dealer has bust, then your bet is paid at even odds, that means you win an amount equal to your bet. A blackjack is a two card hand consisting of a picture card (that includes 10s) and an ace. That pays 3/2 (£15 for £10), for the player. If your total is lower then you lose your bet and if equal then you get your money back (a stand-off , a push ).

Action
splitting	any any number of times (not aces)	any varies
doubling	any 2 cards	any two cards soft totals
dealer hole card	no	yes
hit soft 17	no	varies

The basic idea of getting close to 21, or reaching it, and beating the dealer, is the same worldwide. From there, the variations begin and are so numerous we won't describe them all. Here in the table are some of the important differences. To see the impact of these differences visit house edge. If you want to get the details of what effects subtle variations in the rules have, then read down to the recommended book reading in this section, especially by stanford wong and peter griffin.

What can be said about having more choices is that it ultimately cannot make the players chances of winning any worse. But due to the inexperienced nature of most players playing online blackjack in uk, choice basically increases the number of ways to go wrong. The following examples are common; doubling 10 against a dealer's 10 (or even ace!) and splitting 8s against 10s or aces! Suffice to say that these are massive blunders.

One point of interest is that in the U.S the dealer gets a face down card ( hole card ) as well as his upcard. What this means is that the dealer checks for the possibility of having a 'blackjack' before any doubling or splitting is done. If he has one, then all bets lose (save a players 'blackjack') and no one can make a mistake by doubling or splitting when they shouldn't. They can and do in the U.K.

The other variation which you will no doubt come across is the numbers of decks of cards used to make up the pack. It all started by playing with just one deck but as players got better, the number of decks increased. Eight decks are used in some places, six is common and four can still be seen in the U.K in places. In the U.S, one and two deck games are often hand-held instead of drawing the cards from a shoe . Rules of play differ according to the number of decks in the U.S but they are the same where ever you go in the U.K.

Betting systems like those described for roulette can be applied to BJ although the doubling and splitting features complicate matters. GGG doesn't recommend trying them or any method of increasing your bets to get your loses back.

Your best chance is to stick to basic strategy, this will keep the house edge down to 1%. Normal play by the general public is riddled with errors and the house gets a 3% vig. From them on average and really bad players give them a lot more.

One more thing : play at the table can get bitchy, oh brother ! One play by the last box player can obviously affect the outcome of the dealer's hand and therefore change everybodies fate. However, and take this in, the order of cards to come are not known and over the long haul there is no relevance to you, or anyone else, what happens at the last box .

You could spend your life reading what has been written on the subject of winning at BJ. Most of it is either rubbish or just pretentious. If you want to read then stick to the main men. They are edward O. Thorp, ken uston, stanford wong and peter griffin. Understand that casinos around the world have benefited greatly from people who read a book on BJ and then launch confidently into playing with their new found knowledge. To win using real systems at BJ you must do a tremendous amount of work. The minimum is to make basic strategy part of your body.

There are three basic strategies:

Card counting

Shuffle tracking

Card location

card counting, is the original way to beat BJ as described by ed. Thorp in his book beat the dealer , which has sold a million copies. Nowadays this is only a way to get level with the house but the book sellers still do well out of it. Card counting understands that some cards in the deck, notably 10s and aces, help the player make good hands and others cause problems, like 4s, 5s and 6s. If you count the good and bad cards as they are dealt you are able to know when there is a favourable distribution of 'good' cards left to be dealt. Then you bet more money.

There is a lot of bull floating around in the gambling business about 'card counting' to the effect that the casino staff spend much time in trying to eliminate it without understanding why. GGG says that if you want to really work and you like doing maths in your head, then card counting can give a level playing field with the house. If its your cup of tea then go for it.

Shuffle tracking, is an update to card counting. It is more efficient and thus more effective. As cards are placed into the discard pile, the player will notice when a group of good cards (10s & aces) clump together. Later, another similar group may be placed there as well. Now the player has to watch the shuffle and if the two groups are shuffled together then that is the area in the pack that the shuffle-tracking player will aim for. When its time for those cards to be dealt in the next shoe, the player bets much bigger for several hands in a row. GGG says this is good but practice for a month.

Card location, is the real mccoy and no one really writes about it because they are too busy coining money from old rope. (also they don't really know) GGG will be doing a special on this at a later date!

Conclusion

BJ is a game that has been beaten and still is. It is a lot of real work. An equal amount of work spent in the real world will deliver gauranteed results in a real business. This wont gaurantee you anything. You really have to love it and its getting tougher all the time. Your best bet is to keep tight limits on your money and just aim to learn the basic strategy slowly. You will not be favourite to win but you'll make it close enough for a shot at winning.

Books necessary texts for the serious player are basic blackjack by stanford wong,the theory of blackjack by peter griffin and possibly blackbelt in blackjack by arnold snyder. Also read blackjack legends – the MIT blackjack team

casino stud poker (jackpot)

This is a casino-dealer dealt table game. Its you against the house with real poker hands. Each player gets dealt five cards face down along with the dealer who gets four down cards and one up card. There is an ante bet before the player gets his cards and if they wish to continue and play against the dealers hand then they must make another bet (or raise ) of exactly twice the ante . If they don't then they forfeit their ante . (see how to play casino stud poker)

For the dealer to play against the player, they must have a qualifying hand of ace,king,x,x,x (x is any card) or better (this happens 56% of the time). If the player has decided on playing and making the necessary raise and the dealer qualifies , then its a straight show-down of who has got the best poker hand. If the dealer wins they take all three units bet. If the player wins he will win either 3 units or a bonus payout if he has a strong hand (better than one pair).

Now this should be all rather simple but players of this uninteresting game make a hell of a botch out of it. Some smart bods have worked on this one, like the late, great, peter griffin, and the basic edge against the player is 2.5%. See house edge this is really quite good and comparable to roulette.

The jackpot
this is a cumulative prize that builds from players across the country placing a side bet that will be paid should the player be dealt a top hand. 30% of each pound placed goes into the pockets of the casino and the other 70% feeds the jackpot fund. The payouts are £50 for a flush, £75 for a full house , £100 for a four of a kind, 10% of the total for a straight flush and 100% of the the fund for royal flush.

Don't bluff. Motto: if you have a pile of junk then throw it away.
This is an extremely simple game and thus tedious. The only enjoyment to be had is involved with being able to slowly reveal your hand to yourself. Stick to the plan of raising the extra two units when you have a strong akxxx hand or better. (i.E. A K J 9 4 ). Drop and lose that ante bet when you have worse. Always!

Sorry folks but there is little to do here. There are some theoretical ways to improve on the 2.5% edge for the house but the difference is at best 0.1%, so you could get down to 2.4%. If you really want to know what they are then read the excellent book by author john haigh, taking chances.

As an aside, people often think (and this includes casino staff) that if you collude with the other players at the table and discover what cards they have, then you will be able to find out what hand the dealer is holding. Well I can tell you that even if all seven boxes at the table were being played, the dealer still has 16 remaining cards from which his four down cards are selected. Using a computer to analyze all 1820 possible 4-card sets out of 16 the player would have an advantage of 2.3%. In a six player game the house would still have an edge of 0.4%. Unfortunatley the internet casinos usually only have 3 player spots. Basically its a non-starter.

For you to have a break even equity at the jackpot side bet in an UK casino, the meter would have to be at least £263,205. If you are playing a £5 initial poker bet, your average bet will be about £10 and your vig. Against you about 25 pence. So to have an even equity across both bets the jackpot prize will have to be 25% above £263,205 which is £329,006. Look for games that allow a £2.50 front bet and play the jackpot bet only when the prize is £296,105 and above.

Baccarat is the mother name for a collection of games with very similiar rules but its origins are not clear as many card game historians compete with their own derivations of the game. Punto banco is a version of baccarat and the one played around the world in casinos and just simply called baccarat. Baccarat en banque and chemin de fer are older variations. In both there are choices for the players, in punto banco there are none.

Punto banco is a simple game of comparing punto ('player') hands with banco ('bank') hands. Two cards are dealt to each from a shoe containing some 312 cards (6 decks). Their value for this game is the last digit only, i.E. 9+6=5 and 3+2=5. This would be trivial and not much of a game but some complex rules are added to see whether either hand gets a third card and thus a different total.

Players at the table have the choice of betting either punto or banco or a third bet, egalité ('ties'), which means betting that the hands will finish equal.
See how to play punto banco for the complete rules.

Banco is favourite to win! However there is a 5% tax on your winnings if you bet banco and so the house edge is 1.17%. Punto gives them 1.36%, close, but not the same. Around one in ten hands are tied but the payout is 9 for 1, which in english is 8-1. Its massive house edge of 14%!

If ever you wanted a chance to play your weired staking systems then this is the game for you. Betting banco gives you the least house vig. Possible inside a casino and the big casinos have large limits. (though much reduced from years gone by after many high profile losses due to collusion between customers and staff)

There have been professionals who have made money out of this game but they relied on the casino in question not knowing how to operate the game correctly. The game itself is not beatable. Poor dealing practises where the croupier exposes the back cards can reveal the exact sequence of cards for the last hand and therefore provide a lock which allows a maximum bet win. This requires a team play, spotter and player at least.

Edge sorting
much has been talked about the phil ivey edge sorting case in the courts. Edge sorting relies on the markings of the patterns on the backs of cards to alert the player what the first card is. The manufacturer of the cards must be known in advance with research on any patterns that can be used. The first card is dealt to the player hand and so you can use the table below to work out the advantage. This can be done naturally but in the phil ivey case he and his playing partner asked the dealer to sort the cards so that the markings were all visable before the deal.

Card	player %	bank %	player edge %	bank edge %
0	41.52	49.52	-8.0	5.52
1	41.55	49.38	-7.83	5.36
2	41.72	49.08	-7.36	4.91
3	41.99	48.70	-6.72	4.28
4	42.33	47.95	-5.62	3.22
5	43.33	46.81	-3.47	1.13
6	45.01	44.26	0.76	-2.97
7	48.31	40.95	7.36	-9.41
8	53.84	36.54	17.29	-19.12
9	55.95	34.42	21.53	-23.25

conclusion

It can be beaten but is very difficult. If you like second guessing which hand will win or you have a staking system to try out, this is the game. Once again, stick closely to your money limits, walk away if you lose the amount you allowed yourself.

This is the game that sorts the wheat from the chaff. Consequently this game is dying out to the detriment of the casino enviroment. To the unintiated, the fast flow of a lively craps game is totally unintelligable, as though the players had suddenly started talking an alien language. Added to that, there are more variation bets in craps than all the other games put together.

Now there are two basic types of craps games, one private and one bank. Private craps is what you see in american movies and is the focus of the film, the big town. Casinos offer bank craps in the american form.

Craps in the U.S and the U.K differ in that some of the odds payouts are different plus the U.S version has more sucker bets. See how to play craps for playing guidelines and house edge for more on the percentages of the game.

The whole idea of the game is to bet on the outcome of a pair of dice ('dice' is plural of 'die' folks). Tradionally they are chunky red see-through dice with white spots that get rolled, or more likely thrown, down the craps table. Bets themselves split into three groups, those that are immediate decisions, or one roll bets , and those that last for many rolls, or place bets and the basic front line bets .

One roll bets for the most part you can consider all of these to be sucker bets which is unfortunate because they are the exciting bets that get paid high odds. The exception to this rule is the field bet (UK) which has a vig. Of 2.56%. Everything else is over 5%.

Place bets these range from 1.5% vig. To 5.5%. Placing 6 or 8 gets you the 1.5%.

Front line bets these are the basic bets of craps and can be played at any time. With full odds played on these bets (recommended) you can reach 0.83% vig against you. This is the best casino bet availabe .

Because come bets can be made continuously and they are just another front line ( pass line or win line ) bet, then you can just play with these. You start with a front line and as soon as the point is made take odds and make a come bet. Play up to three come bets and take odds on all of them. At your maximun vulnerability you will have effectively four front line bets with four different point numbers. Your aim is to take at least 2 down by hitting their point numbers. You are finished and in good profit if you take them all down when you could start again or walk. Across all of these bets you are giving away a little over 0.8% . Its your best shot at a game with no edge and no lengthy work that you'll find inside a casino!

There is no way to beat this game, other than cheat (and we are against that). Professionals can be found playing this game for reasons of fun, in search of excitement, or the little known technique of washing their chips that they have won from playing something else.
