BLACKJACK The object is for you to draw cards that total 21 or come closer to 21 than the dealer. All cards are at face value, except for the King, Queen and Jack which count as 10. An Ace will have a value of 11 unless that would give a player or the dealer a score in excess of 21; in which case, it has a value of 1. The dealer starts the game. Every player gets 2 cards, face up. The dealer gets 2 cards, with a Hole Card (1 card face down). Only after all players’ hands are played does the dealer disclose the Hole Card and play the dealer’s hand. Once you have your 2 cards in front of you, you can choose to Stand (draw no more cards), or take a Hit (draw one or more cards) until you reach 21 or come as close as possible. However, if you go over 21, you Break (automatically lose). A winning hand pays even money. Now the dealer turns over the Hole Card and acts on the hand according to the rules of the game. The dealer will draw to 16 and stand on all 17’s. At the end of the game, if your count is the same as the dealer’s, it is a Standoff (nobody wins). If the player’s count is greater than the dealer’s count and both have not exceeded 21, or the dealer’s count exceeds 21 and the player’s count does not, the player wins.
Blackjack Hand In the event your first two cards are an Ace and any 10 value card, the dealer announces your hand as “Blackjack.” You will be paid at this time, if the dealer does not have an Ace or a 10 value card as a face up card. If the dealer’s hand is a Blackjack, the game is a Standoff. A player’s winning Blackjack is paid off at odds of 3 to 2. A two-card 21 wins over a multi-card 21 in all circumstances.
Blackjack Terms Splitting Pairs
If your first 2 cards are a pair with the same numerical value, you may split them into 2 hands. You must bet the same amount as your original wager on each hand formed by splitting a pair. You must complete play on your first hand before playing your second hand. However, you may double down on each hand. If the split pairs are Aces, you will receive only 1 card on each. Because only 1 card is given when Aces are split, a player may not double down on Aces that have been split. Pairs may split a maximum of 3 times, for a total of 4 hands, if you split your initial pair and you receive an identically valued card to create another pair.
Doubling Down After you get your first two cards, except when your first 2 cards total 21. When doubling down you draw only 1 additional card.

Insurance If the dealer’s face up card is an Ace, and prior to anyone receiving additional cards, you may take insurance. To do this you place a bet no more than one-half of your original bet on the insurance line. If the dealer’s Hole Card is a 10, Jack, Queen, or King, you win your insurance bet at odds of 2 to 1. If the dealer’s Hole Card is any other card, you lose your insurance bet. The dealer collects all losing insurance wagers before continuing the hand. A player may wager an amount in excess of 1/2 of the initial Blackjack Wager to the next unit that can be wagered in chips, when, because of the limitation of the value of chip denominations, half the initial Blackjack Wager cannot be bet.
Card Handling Players are not allowed to touch the cards.
The Player’s Hand The player is responsible for the correct count of his or her hand.
Hand Signals The player is responsible for the proper use of hand signals to indicate Hit or Stand. Other decisions may be made verbally.

Roulette Roulette is a fun and simple game that provides exciting action. The player will exchange currency for non-value Roulette chips or may play with value chips. Players will utilize these chips to make various wagers on different numbers throughout the Roulette layout. Roulette offers a wide variety of bets: Straight Up Bets, where you bet on a single number; Combination Bets, where you split your bets on adjoining numbers; Red or Black, Odd or Even, and many others. The placement of wagers will determine how much will be paid out (See the payout chart). You play with your individually colored chips, good only at the table where they were issued. The value of these chips depends on the amount of your Buy-In. Each betting cycle begins with the dealer spinning a ball in the opposite direction of the revolving roulette wheel head. Bets may be placed until the dealer announces “No more bets.” When the ball comes to rest, the dealer marks the winning number, and all bets which correspond to this number are paid.
A Few Simple Rules to Remember when Playing Roulette: • All roulette chips must stay on top of the gaming table at all times. • You may not leave the table with roulette chips in your possession. • At the completion of play, you must exchange all roulette chips for regular Casino cheques. These are the $25, $5 and $1 cheques used on all of the other table games.
Pay Out Odds When a single number is chosen from the oval table, the bet amount will be placed on that number and the two numbers to the immediate right and left of the number. For example: If the player selects the number 5, the bet amount will be placed on the numbers 32, 17, 5, 22 & 34. Courtesy Line Bet: The 0 & 00 Split Bet may be placed on the line separating the second and third dozen. The payoff odds are the same as any Split, 17 to 1. Red 1 to 1 Black 1 to 1 Odd 1 to 1 Even 1 to 1 1 to 18 1 to 1 19 to 36 1 to 1 1st 12 2 to 1 3rd 12 2 to 1
Columns 2 to 1 6 Numbers 5 to 1 5 Numbers 6 to 1 4 Numbers 8 to 1 3 Numbers 11 to 1 2 Numbers 17 to 1 1 Number (including 0 & 00) 35 to 1
