Zodiak
Casinos feature popular favorites including:
To play roulette, players
must first buy their chips from the dealer at the table. To avoid
confusion, each player is allocated a colour
chip that is unique to him or her. In this way, players are easily
able to recognise where they have placed their chips thus avoiding
mistaken claims or errors of ownership.
These coloured chips may not be played at any other table and each
player sets their value within the limits which are clearly
displayed at each table. When players have finished playing they
must remember to exchange their colour chips for 'cash' chips prior
to leaving the game. Bets may be placed on any number or combination
of numbers as indicated in Betting Options below. At first, play may
seem complicated and we advise newcomers to first watch other
players placing their chips; it will not take long to understand the
rudiments of this classic casino game.
Please remember that the dealers are there to deal the game
according to the rules. They cannot advise you on how much or where
to bet, but they will be pleased to help with game etiquette. If you
wish to change cash or chips, please wait for a pause in play,
attract the dealer's attention and place the money on the table.
Betting Options
1) Straight up (A) - a bet on one number that, if it wins, will be
paid at odds of 35-to-1.
2) Split (B) - when a chip is placed on the line that separates two
numbers. If either number wins, the pay-out is 17:1.
3) Corner (C) - a chip placed in an area that splits four numbers.
If the ball settles in any of those four numbers, the winner will
receive odds of 8-to-1.
4) Street (D) - a chip placed at the beginning of a row of three
numbers across the table. If any of those three numbers is spun, the
winning chips are paid at odds of 11-to-1.
5) Sixline (E) - a chip on the line between two streets covering six
numbers. If any one of those six numbers wins, the pay-out is
5-to-1.
6) Dozens (F) - these are areas that each correspond to 12-number
sections on the roulette table. '1st 12' covers the numbers from 1
to 12; '2nd 12' covers the numbers from 13 to 24; and '3rd 12'
covers the last section of numbers from 25 to 36. A bet on the '1st
12' wins if a number from 1 to 12 is spun. The same principle holds
true for the other dozen bets. All winning dozens bets are paid at
odds of 2-to-1.
7) Columns (G) - a chip placed on a column also covers 12 numbers.
The betting area is at the foot of the table (farthest from zero)
and the first column covers the numbers 1 / 4 / 7 / 10 etc to 34;
the second column covers the numbers 2 / 5 / 8 / 11 etc to 35; the
third column covers the numbers 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 etc to 36. A winning
bet on a column is paid at odds of 2:1.
8) Red or Black (H) - if a chip is placed on 'Red' and a red number
is spun, that chip wins and is paid even money (1:1). The same
principle applies to 'Black'.
9) Odd or Even (H) - if a chip is placed on 'Odd' and an odd number
is spun, that chip wins and is paid even money (1:1). The same
principle applies to 'Even'.
10) 1-18 and 19-36 (H) - if a chip is placed on '1-18' and a number
within that group is spun, that chip wins and is paid even money
(1:1). The same principle applies to '19-36'.
When zero is spun, all bets placed on
Dozens, Columns, Red, Black, Odd, Even, High (19-36) and Low (1-18)
lose.
Blackjack is a game played with six
conventional decks of playing cards. The object of blackjack is
for the player to beat the dealer's hand by drawing cards to
achieve a point total as near as possible to 21, without going
'bust', i.e. exceeding 21.
Bets are placed in one of the designated 'boxes'. Each player and
the dealer are then dealt a card followed by a second, dealt to
the players only. All cards are dealt 'face-up'. Players are free
to draw additional cards as they wish, to achieve a total as close
to 21 as possible. The dealer, however, has no options to draw or
stand and must draw on 16 or less and stand on 17 or more. All
face cards are valued 10, while an Ace is either 1 or 11. A
blackjack is an Ace and a card valued at 10 (10, J, Q or K). A
blackjack always beats three or more cards that equal 21.
Doubling:
If a player's first two
cards total between 2 and 11, he or she may elect to double the
initial bet and receive only one additional card.
Splitting:
If a player's first two
cards are of the same value, he or she may choose to split them
and form two separate hands by adding a further bet equal to the
original bet. The dealer will separate the two cards and deal
additional cards to create two new hands. Hands may be split up to
a maximum of three times, to form a total of four hands, and all
normal playing rules apply to all split hands, including doubling.
Aces may only be split once. A two-card '21' on a split hand is
not a blackjack and is paid at even money if it wins.
Insurance: If a dealer's first card
is an Ace, players may elect to insure against the dealer making a
blackjack. In this instance, the player may place up to half of
the original bet on the insurance line. If the dealer makes a
blackjack, the insurance bet wins and is paid at odds of 2-to-1.
The insurance bet loses if the dealer does not make a blackjack.
Pay-outs: A blackjack (21 achieved
with the first two cards of the hand) is paid at odds of 3-to-2
providing that the dealer does not achieve a blackjack; in this
case the player's hand neither wins nor loses (stand-off). All
other winning hands are paid at even money.
Please remember that the dealers are there to deal the game
according to the rules. They cannot advise on how much or where to
bet but they will be pleased to assist with game etiquette. If
players wish to change cash or chips, they should wait for a pause
in play then attract the dealer's attention, placing the money on
the table.
Card Values: Ace = 1 or 11; Picture
cards = 10; All other cards = face value.
