GRAND VIRTUAL BLACKJACK RULES

TO PLAY

The player will place his/her wager in the center of the betting circle. The dealer will then deal two cards, face up, to each player and two to him/herself, one face up and one face down. Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10’s each count as 10. Aces count as 1 or 11, as a player wishes. All other cards 2-9, count at their face value.

If the first two cards drawn are an Ace and a 10 value card, that player has Blackjack and will be paid one and one-half times the wager (3 to 2) unless the dealer also has Blackjack. The Player not having Blackjack may continue to draw cards attempting to total as close to 21 as possible without exceeding 21, in which case that player “breaks” and loses the wager.

Dealer must hit on all totals of 16 or less. Dealer must stand on all total of 17 or more.

BLACKJACK TERMINOLOGY

HIT

The taking of an additional card.

STAY

Take no additional cards

SPLIT

The Player will match the original wager and split the first two cards into two separate hands. The two cards must be of the same point value (i.e. a pair of 8’s, King and Queen, etc.) In splitted hands an Ace and ten equal to “21” and not blackjack.

DOUBLE DOWN

The player will match the original (or double down for less) on the first two cards dealt and receive only one additional card. Double down wagering is not permitted on a Blackjack.

INSURANCE

When the dealer’s up card is an Ace, a Player may buy insurance, an additional amount equal to half of that Player’s original wager. A Player may purchase insurance when he/she believes that the dealer’s down card is a ten value card. If the Dealer has Blackjack, the insurance wager pays 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the insurance wager loses and the game continues as usual. A Blackjack will beat a point total of “21”.


GRAND VIRTUAL BACCARAT RULES

TO PLAY

A player will place a wager on which of two hands (the “Player” or the “Banker”) will have a total point closest to 9.  Each hand will receive at least two cards but no more than three.  Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards.  The first and third cards dealt from the shoe constitute the “Player’s” hand, and the second and forth cards constitute the “Banker’s” hand.

Face cards and tens count as 0; Aces count as 1, and all other cards count as face value.  If required, a third card is dealt to each hand according to specific rules outlined in the chart below.  If the point value of the first two cards drawn for either hand is 8 or 9, that is known as a “Natural” and no additional cards will be drawn.

The hand with the highest point total closest to nine wins.

Winning bets are paid even money.  However, a winning “Banker” bet pays a 5% commission which is withheld from winnings after each such bet.

If both hands result in identical totals, the “Tie” bet wins, paying 8 to 1.  When a “Tie” occurs, all bets on the “Player” and the “Banker” are neither paid nor taken.

RULES (PLAYER):

When the first two cards total:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0	DRAW
6, 7	STANDS
8, 9	STANDS (natural)

RULES (BANKER):

7		Stands

GRAND VIRTUAL ROULETTE RULES

Roulette is a fascinating game that provides exciting action. It is played with a wheel, a small ivory ball, and a betting layout.  The wheel turns on a spindle and is divided into 38 (American wheels) slots.  36 of the slots are numbered from 1 through 36, of which half are red and the other black.  There are also two green slots marked 0 and 00.

Players place bets against the house on the layout.  Once the total amount placed on the layout exceeds the minimum bet the ball is tossed into the wheel.  When the ball comes to a rest in one of the slots the bets are settled.  Player cannot wager more than the maximum bet in any one round of the game.  Minimum and maximum bets are posted in the lower right corner of the screen.

Losing bets are cleared from the layout and winning bets are settled according to the following table:

Bets Placed on: (one of which wins)	Odds paid
Single number	35-to-1
Any of the 12 numbers in the horizontal row	2-to-1
Split (two numbers)	17-to-1
Vertical row (three numbers)	11-to-1
Corner (four numbers)	8-to-1
Six numbers in two adjacent vertical rows	5-to-1
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Column	2-to-1
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Dozen	2-to-1
Five numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2, 3	6-to-1
Low Half, High Half, Black, Red, Even, Odd	1-to-1

For example, if you have a winning bet of $20 on a single number (35-to-1) you will get back your original bet of $20 plus 35 times your bet of $20 which is $700.  As another example, If you have a winning bet of $100 on color Red (1-to-1) you will get back your original bet of $100 plus another $100 of winnings.

The chips placed below show all types of bets.  Click on the chip to see the odds paid.
