Game Description:

Blackjack is a very popular card game that is played with up to 8 decks. After the player makes a starting bet, he or she receives two cards. The dealer also receives two cards, one face up, and one face down. Each card has a value: 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. All face cards equal 10 points, while Aces are either 1 or 11 points. Based on the card values, the player needs to make a decision to stand, hit, split, or double. There is also the option to surrender in order to get more points than the dealer has without going over 21. A two-card combination that adds up to 21 points (Ace and a 10 or a face card) is called “Blackjack”, which is an automatic win that usually pays 3:2.

The Goal of the Game:

The goal of Blackjack is to accumulate more points than the dealer, without going over 21, which is called a Bust.

Betting Options

Double Down - upon receiving 2 cards, the player doubles the initial bet and receives 1 additional card.

Even Money - this bet pays 1:1, in case the player received a Blackjack, but the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace.

Insurance - This is a side bet that pays 2:1, if the dealer has a Blackjack.

Soft Hand - This is a hand that contains an Ace, which may be counted as either 1 or 11.

Split Hand - In case the player receives two cards of equal value, he may split them into two hands, which doubles the bet. They may then play each hand separately.

Surrender - The player gives up the hand and receives half of his or her bet back. There may be an early Surrender, before the dealer checks his cards for a Blackjack, or a Late Surrender, which is after the dealer checks his cards. If the dealer does have a Blackjack, Late Surrender is not allowed.

Game Description:

Casino Hold'em, also known as Texas Hold'em, is a poker-based game that is played with one 52-card deck. The cards are ranked from 2, the lowest, to Ace, which can be either the lowest or highest. After the player makes an `Ante bet`, the 2 cards are dealt face down to the player and the dealer. Three cards are then dealt face up on the table. The player checks their cards and the three cards on the table. At that point, the player can either Fold and lose their Ante bet or Call and make an additional bet that is twice as much as their Ante bet. If the player calls, two additional cards are dealt on the table. The player and the dealer need to make 5-card combinations using their 2 cards and the 5 cards on the table, which are called community or common cards. Then, the player’s cards are compared to the dealer’s cards. The dealer qualifies to play if he has a pair of 4s or better. The player wins if he gets the best possible 5-card combination. If the player wins, then the Ante bet pays out, depending on the winning combination that the player has, while the Call bet pays 1:1. If the player and the dealer have equal hands, then all bets push.

The Goal of the Game:
