How to Play

Blackjack

The goal of Blackjack is simple: get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over.

  1. Place Your Bet 
    Each player starts by placing a bet before the cards are dealt.

  2. Receive Your Cards 
    You’ll be dealt two cards face up. The dealer gets one face up and one face down.

  3. Your Move 

    • Hit: Take another card.

    • Stand: Keep your current hand.

    • (Some games allow Double Down or Split, depending on your cards.)

  4. Dealer’s Turn 
    The dealer flips their hidden card and must keep hitting until they reach at least 17.

  5. Winning the Hand 

    • If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s (without going over), you win.

    • If you go over 21, that’s called a bust, and you lose the round.

Blackjack is easy to learn, quick to play, and keeps everyone on the edge of their seats!

Craps

Craps might look intimidating at first, but it’s actually simple and tons of fun once you know the basics:

  1. Place a Bet 
    At the start of a round (when the puck is “off”), players place their chips on a bet—most commonly the Pass Line.

  2. Come-Out Roll 
    The shooter rolls two dice.

    • Win: Roll a 7 or 11 → Pass Line bets win.

    • Lose (Craps): Roll a 2, 3, or 12 → Pass Line bets lose.

    • Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) becomes the Point.

  3. Point Phase 
    Once a Point is set, the shooter keeps rolling:

    • Win: Roll the Point number again before a 7 → Pass Line bets win!

    • Lose: Roll a 7 before the Point → Pass Line bets lose, the round ends, and the dice move to the next shooter.

Craps is fast-paced, social, and full of excitement—making it one of the most interactive casino games for parties.

Poker

Texas Hold’em is the most popular poker game played at casinos and events—and it’s easy to learn!

Before the Game

  • Dealer Button : A marker shows who the dealer is for the hand (rotates clockwise each round).

  • Blinds : The two players left of the dealer post the small blind and big blind (forced bets to start the action).

  • Hole Cards 🃏: Each player receives two face-down cards they keep secret.

The Betting Rounds

  1. Pre-Flop: Betting begins with the player to the left of the big blind.

  2. The Flop: Three community cards are dealt face-up on the table, followed by a round of betting.

  3. The Turn: A fourth community card is dealt face-up, followed by betting.

  4. The River: The fifth and final community card is dealt, followed by the last betting round.

Player Actions

In each betting round, players can:

  • Check: Pass the action without betting.

  • Bet: Place the first wager.

  • Call: Match the current bet.

  • Raise: Increase the bet, forcing others to match or fold.

  • Fold: Surrender your hand and any chips you’ve committed.

The Showdown 

After the final betting round, players reveal their cards. The best five-card hand using any combination of hole cards and community cards wins the pot!

Roulette

Understanding the Roulette Wheel & Table

Roulette combines chance, strategy, and anticipation:

  • The wheel has 38 pockets in American Roulette: numbers 1–36 (red or black), plus 0 and 00 (green).
  • A small white ball spins around the wheel and lands in one of these pockets. The number and color of that pocket determine the winning bets.

The table layout mirrors the wheel, with spaces for numbers 1–36 plus 0 and 00. Surrounding the grid are additional areas for betting on colors, odds/evens, ranges, and groups of numbers.

How to Place Bets in Roulette

  1. Players place their chips on the betting table before each spin.
  2. You can bet on a single number, a group of numbers, a color, or odds/evens.
  3. Once the dealer announces “No more bets!”, the wheel spins, the ball drops, and bets are locked in.

Types of Bets

Roulette bets fall into two main categories:

Inside Bets (Higher Risk, Higher Reward)

  • Straight Up – Bet on a single number (pays 35 to 1).
  • Split – Bet between two numbers.
  • Street – Bet on a row of three numbers.
  • Corner (Square) – Bet on four numbers in a block.
  • Six-Line (Double Street) – Bet on six numbers across two rows.

Outside Bets (Lower Risk, Better Odds)

  • Red or Black – Bet on color.
  • Odd or Even – Bet on number type.
  • Low or High – 1–18 or 19–36.
  • Dozens – Bet on 1st 12, 2nd 12, or 3rd 12.
  • Columns – Bet on one of the three vertical columns.

Tip for Beginners: Start with outside bets—they’re easier to understand and give you better odds while you learn the game’s flow.
