Jackpot Hold‘Em

Jackpot Hold'Em is an exciting new Texas Hold‘Em-style table game where players and the dealer receive two hole cards and share five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand.

Getting Started

Players make equal wagers on the Ante and X-tra Bonus to begin. Each player, including the dealer, will be dealt two cards face-down. The dealer then deals five community cards in the correct order: first, the three-card flop, followed by the Turn and River.

Players may also make the optional Player Bonus and Bonus Spin Extreme Progressive wagers. The Players Bonus wager pays if your hand contains Three-of-a-Kind or better.

How to Play Jackpot Hold’Em

After receiving two hole cards, Jackpot Hold'Em begins as the dealer reveals the first community card which prompts each player to make a decision. Players can either check their hand or place a bet equal to three times their Ante Bet, known as the Play Bet.

Next, the dealer reveals two additional community cards, completing the three-card flop. Players who initially checked must now make another decision: they can either check their hand again or place a Play Bet equal to two times their Ante Bet.

Finally, the dealer reveals the last two community cards, known as the Turn and River. For players who have checked in both previous rounds, a final decision must be made. They can either fold, forfeiting both their Ante Bet and any X-Tra Bonus Bets, or place a Play Bet equal to one times their Ante Bet. The outcome of the game is then determined by the best five-card hand made from the player's two cards and the five community cards.

X-Tra Bonus

The X-Tra Bonus is a mandatory wager that pays odds when a player wins a straight or better.

Bonus Spin Extreme

The optional Bonus Spin Extreme Progressive bet pays when the community cards make a qualifying five-card poker hand.

Winning & Losing Hands

The outcome of the Ante, X-Tra Bonus, Play and Player Bonus wagers depends on how the player’s hand compares to the dealer’s hand. The Play wager wins and is paid one to one if the player’s hand ranks higher than the dealer’s hand. If the dealer’s hand ranks higher, the Play wager is lost and collected by the dealer. In cases where both hands are of equal rank, the Play wager pushes, meaning no money is won or lost. The Ante wager is resolved similarly if the dealer’s hand qualifies.

The X-Tra Bonus wager is determined by the strength of the player’s hand compared to the dealer’s. If the player’s hand is higher, the X-Tra Bonus wager wins and is paid according to the posted pay table. However, if the player’s hand is not a straight or higher, the X-Tra Bonus wager will push, even if the player’s hand is stronger than the dealer’s. If the dealer’s hand ranks higher, the X-Tra Bonus wager is lost. Like the Play wager, it pushes if the hands are of equal rank.

The Player Bonus Wager is resolved independently of the other wagers. It pays out according to the posted pay table, regardless of whether the player’s X-Tra Bonus or Play wagers win or lose, and even if the player has folded their hand.

Super 4 Poker

Super 4 Poker, also known as Crazy 4 Poker, is an exciting poker game where players compete heads-up against the dealer. Players and the dealer each receive five cards to make the best four-card poker hand.

Getting Started

Super 4 Poker begins with each player placing equal bets on the Ante and X-Tra Bonus, with the option to place an additional bet on the player Bonus side bet. From highest to lowest, the hand rankings are:

• Four of a Kind
• Straight Flush
• Three of a Kind
• Flush
• Straight
• Two Pair
• Pair
• Four Singletons

How to Play Super 4 Poker

Once equal bets are made, each player and the dealer receive five cards from which they must make their best four-card poker hand, discarding the fifth card. After the cards are dealt, the player decides whether to fold or raise by making a Play wager.

If the player folds, all bets are forfeited. If the player chooses to raise, the Play wager can be up to three times the Ante bet if the player holds at least a pair of Aces; otherwise, the Play wager must be equal to the Ante bet. After all players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals their cards and selects the best four-card hand to compare against the player's hand, with the higher hand winning.

The dealer needs at least a King high to open for the purposes of resolving the Ante bet. If the dealer does not open, the Ante pushes. If the dealer opens and the player wins, the Ante wins; if the hands tie, the Ante pushes, and if the dealer wins, the Ante loses.

The Play wager pays out similarly based on the dealer’s hand. The X-Tra Bonus bet, however, pays out based on the strength of the player's hand regardless of whether the dealer opens. If the player has a Straight or higher, the X-Tra Bonus wins according to the pay table. If the player has less than a Straight and wins or pushes, the X-Tra Bonus pushes, and if the player loses with less than a Straight, the X-Tra Bonus loses.

Player Bonus

Players may also make the optional Player Bonus wager. The Player Bonus wager pays if your four-card hand contains a pair of Queens or better.

X-Tra Bonus

The X-Tra Bonus is a mandatory wager that pays odds when you receive a straight or better.

Trifecta Blackjack

Trifecta is an optional bonus side bet for traditional blackjack in which players combine their first­ two cards with the dealer's upcard to win big!

Trifecta Bonus

To play Trifecta Blackjack, players begin by placing wagers on the available bonus bet, Trifecta Bonus™. Once the wagers are placed, each player is dealt the standard two cards, while the dealer receives one up card. These three cards—two from the player and one from the dealer—are combined to form a three-card poker hand.

If the player’s three-card poker hand qualifies according to the posted pay table, they will receive a payout based on the strength of the hand. However, if the player’s cards do not form a qualifying three-card poker hand, the wager is lost. The dealer will resolve these bonus wagers by paying out or collecting chips before regular blackjack play continues.

Trifecta Payouts
Hands	Pay
Three Fives	60 to 1
Straight Flush	40 to 1
Three-of-a-Kind	30 to 1
Straight	6 to 1
Flush	4 to 1
Pair of Jacks or Better	2 to 1

Criss Cross Poker

Criss Cross Poker is an exciting casino table game in which players use two personal cards and five community cards arranged in a cross to form two poker hands, offering multiple betting opportunities and the chance to win big! Perfect for both casual and experienced players, it’s a thrilling twist on traditional poker.

Getting Started

To play Criss Cross Poker, start by using a standard 52-card deck. Each player is required to place two equal ante bets: one for the "across" hand and one for the "down" hand. Additionally, players have the option to place a 5 Card Bonus bet if they choose.

How to Play Criss Cross Poker

After each player has placed their equal ante bets, the dealer will then deal five community cards face down in the shape of a cross on the table. Each player will also be dealt two cards face down. At this point, the dealer will offer each player the opportunity to place an "across" bet, which must be between 1 and 3 times the amount of their ante bet. If a player chooses not to place this bet, they must forfeit their "across" ante.

Once all players have placed their "across" bets, the dealer reveals the two outside cards on the horizontal line of the cross. The dealer will then offer each player the chance to place a "down" bet, which, like the "across" bet, must be between 1 and 3 times the amount of their ante bet. If a player decides not to place the "down" bet, they forfeit all previous wagers.

After the "down" bets have been placed, the dealer will reveal the two outside cards on the vertical line of the cross. Next, the dealer offers players the option to place a "middle" bet, which also must be between 1 and 3 times the amount of their ante bet. Players who choose not to place the "middle" bet will forfeit.

Finally, the dealer reveals the middle card on the cross. The players will then reveal their own two cards and use them in combination with the three cards on the horizontal line of the cross to form their "across" hand, and with the three cards on the vertical line of the cross to form their "down" hand.

Three Card Poker

Welcome to Three Card Poker, a fast-paced table game where players compete against the dealer with the chance to win on both Ante and Pair Plus bets. Simple to learn and exciting to play, it’s a popular choice for both new and seasoned players.

Getting Started

The game begins with the player placing an Ante wager and/or a Pair Plus wager. The Ante wager bets that the player’s hand will beat the dealer's, while the Pair Plus wager bets that the player will have a hand of at least a pair or better, regardless of what the dealer holds.

How to Play Three Card Poker

To play Three Card Poker, each player and the dealer are dealt three cards face down. Unlike traditional poker, you are only competing against the dealer, not the other players at the table. After receiving their cards, the player must decide whether to place a Play wager, which must be equal to the Ante wager, or to fold. Optimal strategy suggests that players should "play" all hands greater than Queen, Six, Four and fold any hands worse than this combination.

If a player decides to fold, the round ends and the dealer collects the player's Ante and Pair Plus wagers. If the player chooses to place a Play wager, the dealer's and player's hands are revealed to see who has the better hand. If the dealer’s hand is Jack-high or worse, the Play wager is returned to the player. If the dealer’s hand is Queen-high or better, the player’s Play wager and Ante wager are paid out at 1 to 1 if the player has the superior hand. If the dealer's hand wins, both the Ante and Play wagers are lost. The Pair Plus bet is settled independently and pays out based solely on the player’s hand, regardless of the dealer’s hand.

Roulette

Roulette is a classic casino game where players place bets on where a spinning ball will land on a numbered wheel, offering a blend of strategy and chance. With options for inside and outside bets, it's a thrilling experience for both novice and seasoned players.

Getting Started

Start your roulette game by placing your chips on the numbered table layout to make your bets. You have the option to make "inside bets," "outside bets," or a combination of both, depending on your roulette strategies.

How to Play Roulette

Inside bets are made on specific numbers or small groups of numbers located on the inside of the table layout. These bets typically offer higher payouts but come with a lower chance of winning. Outside bets are placed on the outer edges of the table and cover larger groups of numbers, such as betting on all red or all black numbers, odd or even numbers, or a specific range of numbers. These bets have a higher probability of winning, but the payouts are smaller.

You can continue to place your chips until the croupier (the dealer) announces, "No more bets," signaling that the betting phase is over. After this, watch as the croupier spins the wheel and the ball bounces around until it lands on a single number. The winning number is revealed and you'll see if your bets have paid off.

Roulette is a game driven entirely by luck, with no skill or strategy involved. Whether you win three times or thirty, your odds remain consistent with each spin. The only elements within your control are how much you wager, how long you stay in the game and how frequently you play.

Double Deck Blackjack

This blackjack game offers a twist with just two decks, enhancing your odds and adding excitement to the game. Enjoy strategic play as you aim for 21 and outsmart the dealer in this popular casino favorite.

Getting Started

Double Deck Blackjack is played with two decks of cards, and the goal is to get a hand as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. If your hand total is closer to 21 than the dealer's, you win. Cards numbered 2 through 10 are worth their face value, while Jacks, Queens and Kings are worth 10. Aces can be valued at either 1 or 11, depending on which is more favorable to your hand. A "Blackjack" occurs when your first two cards are an Ace and a 10-value card, which pays out at 3 to 2.

How to Play Double Deck Blackjack

Once all players have placed their bets, the dealer deals two cards to each player and themselves. The dealer will reveal one card face up, while keeping the other face down.

Instead of using hand signals, players swipe their cards under the table scanner to hit or tuck their cards to stand, creating a more hands-on experience. After each new card, players decide whether to swipe for additional cards or tuck their cards to stand.

The dealer will stand on a soft 17, and players are allowed to double down on any two cards, including on a Blackjack or 21. If your hand total is higher than the dealer's, or if the dealer goes over 21, you win even money. If your total is the same as the dealer's, it's a "push," meaning you neither win nor lose.

In addition to standing or hitting, you also have the option to double down, split pairs or take insurance.

Doubling Down

You can double down on any two cards, except a hand totaling 21, by placing an additional wager equal to your original bet. You'll receive only one more card to complete your hand.

Splitting Pairs

If your first two cards are a pair, you can split them into two separate hands by placing an equal bet next to your original one. If you receive another pair, you can split again, up to three times, creating a total of four hands. When splitting Aces, however, you'll only get one additional card per Ace, and a 10-value card on a split Ace counts as 21 but not a Blackjack. In Double Deck Blackjack, Aces can only be split once.
