What Games You Will Find in the Casino

21:
21 is the same as blackjack, it is just another name for the game. As indicated by the name the goal is to make a hand that adds up to 21. Face cards are all worth 10 points and an ace can be worth 1 or 11 points, which is up to you. Unlike in poker in this game you are not playing against the other players and the dealer, it I just the dealer. In blackjack any player who has a better hand then the dealer wins. The game is started when the dealer gives each person at the table 2 cards. He will then give each player a chance to take more cads or take none. Anyone who goes over 21 has "busted" which means they lose even if the dealer also goes over.

The Ball and the Wheel:
Roulette is a very simple game to learn. The object is to pick the number the ball will land on. The numbers on the wheel alternate from red to black. This allows you to also bet on what color the ball will land on and if the number will be an odd number or an even number. These 2 bets are the simplest to win and only pay out at 1 to 1. Since there are 36 numbers on the wheel not counting 0 and 00 you can also bet on if the winning number will be in the first second or third groups of 12 numbers which pays 2 to 1. The biggest payout is 0 and 00 they pay out at 38 to 1 which means a 1 dollar bet will get you 39 dollars back.

The wheels would spin and after a few seconds would stop and whatever showed on the winning line determined if you won or not.
