Video Poker

Video Poker  When you fancy a game of poker but cannot get to a card school or a casino, you might wish to head online and play. Well, one of the most popular ways to do so would be the video poker industry. This allows you to play a digital form of poker that follows the same rules as normal, allowing you to play a five card-draw system that puts you against a computerised console that is akin to a slots machine.

The Rules of the Game

The rules of video poker change depending on the game itself and where you play, but it will typically always involve the same kind of rules as normal poker. Normally, you will be given a list of cards that you have been provided by the “dealer” (the machine), and then you will be given the hand of which you and the computerised opponent will be able to make up the best hand that you can with what you have got.

You just follow the instructions on-screen, choosing whether or not you wish to fold, play on, or bet further. Then, once all of the rounds have been played, the cards are turned over and both parties will see who has come out with the winning hand. Seen as most forms of video poker see you take on a singular opponent, it’s like being down to the last two people in a game of poker when you play.

It’s a fun, fast-paced way to play poker and you should also have no problem finding specific rules and stylings for games like Jacks or Better, Joker’s Wild, and even Double Bonus. You get a lot of varieties to try out, and each will usually have you face one-on-one against a digital banker. Fun, easy, and a simple way to try out poker on your own without needing someone else to play with.

Sic Bo

Sic Bo  Interested in trying out some other casino games that you might not have tried before? Then you should make some time for Sic Bo. This is a rapid-paced game that can be quite similar in some ways to other gambling games. Fans of fast-paced games with very little rules or regulations will love this particular game, though; it’s so fast that you can enjoy many playthroughs in a very short space of time.

The Rules of the Game

So, the rules of the game revolve around the name of the game – Sic Bo means “dice pair”; confusingly, though, the game is played with three dice as opposed to two. Anyway, you will use the ‘lucky’ dice, the Tai Sai, and the Big Small, the Dai Siu. This allows for you to start playing. All three dice are placed into a cage by the dealer, and then you place a bet on what you think the result of the three dice will be. You could place a bet on a single number appearing, a total for the three dice when combined, or even a combination of numbers appearing.

Each bet will give you a payout based on the probability of what you have suggested happening. You can keep placing bets and seeing what total comes up – it’s basically like playing roulette except the numbers are instead determined by the dice as opposed to the roulette wheel.

It’s fun, easy to play, and literally just needs you to stand back and watch the fun unfold. Although the board looks deeply complex, it’s more to do with the mechanisms and probabilities as opposed to anything else. All you need to do is take a bet, place the bet on a certain number or combination, and watch with intrigue as your results come through!

Roulette

Roulette  As one of the most popular casino games in the world today, roulette is beloved by many due to the sheer simplicity of the game. You just need to pick a number and essentially hope that the little ball drops on the exact number (and colour) that you have chosen. A tiny white ball is placed onto the roulette wheel, and it is then spun to see if it can land on the number that you have called as the winner.

The Rules of the Game

The rules of the game really are quite simple – you sit with a dealer and together you agree a number, colour, or number and colour that you wish to place a wager on. The dealer then drops the ball onto the roulette wheel, spins it, and sees where the number will then fall. The ball is spun in one direction while the wheel is spun in another, creating a fightback that really helps to change how the ball winds up. Typically, you will have between 37 and 39 number slots for it to fall into. These are coloured and numbered, and you can usually pick from a red or a black version of the same number.

To determine the winning amount, you will have a set agreement for the wager on what you can win back depending on where the little ball lands. The winnings are paid out per round, too, so you can win big (and lose big) in a single round if you bet high enough.

That’s why if you want to try out a game like roulette, you need to be prepared to take a risk. It’s easy and simple to play, and you really do just need to hope that you have called the correct number. Simplicity is the key here, which is why roulette is such a commonly played and popular casino game!

Red Dog

Red Dog  When looking at the various forms of casino game out there, one that might take your fancy is the intriguingly named Red Dog. This particular game has become highly popular among those who like games which are fun, fast-paced, and pretty easy to learn the rules to. Indeed, if you were to play Red Dog for even a couple of hours, you will probably get to know every little rule in the game!

The Rules of the Game

The object of the game is extremely simple – you want to have more chips than the other players come the end of the game. Cards are ranked in the same way they normally are, with Ace highest an a 2 the lowest card you can pull out. Chips are then given to players, and each player placed a chip in the middle of the table for the first pot.

The cards are then deal out, one at a time, face-up. The player with the highest value card is then the initial dealer. The dealer then hands out five cards, one at a time, all face down for each player starting with the nearest player on the left. The players, starting from the left, are then given the chance to bet on their cards strength via more chips. If you do not wish to bet, you forfeit a single chip into the pot anyway.

Once all bets are made, the dealer will take the card from the top of the pack and turn it over – the player who has a card of the same suit and of a higher rank will then take back the amount of their bet, as well as an equivalent out of the pot.

The next player then places a bet, another card is turned, and the procedure is followed until each player has played and either won or lost.
